Almost Human - Next Season Planning a Reboot


Just read in Entertainment Weekly that, "We're hearing that sci-fi drama Almost Human will be rebooted." Weeks ago, EW stated that the show was sure to be cancelled. Things change. Karl Urban said at Megacon in Orlando last week that he's pretty confident that show is being renewed. Contractual issues are being worked out that's why FOX hasn't made an official announcement yet.

They could get rid of minka kelly as part of the reboot.

The only important characters on the show are two leads + rudy. Every else can be replaced with someone else.

reply

True, but dammit I like looking at Minka.

Aside from those 4, could care less who is replaced.

reply

EW writer clarified that by "reboot" he meant "renewed." He thought the reboot comment was funny, but conceded it was just confusing. So, sorry gang. Minka Kelly is still in the series.

reply

I think the show has good chances of being renewed. FOX has been running S1 episodes on the weekends. I don't think they would do that for a show that has been/will be canceled.

All insults will be interpreted as an admission that you cannot contribute to the discussion.

reply

they can still kill her off early in the season

reply

I was thinking a nice big wedding and off to Siberia, oops! I mean Florida.

Dan you guys are brutal on Minka! lol.

Maybe have her killed and brought back to life as a human borg like 7 of 9 from Star Trek. Definitely put her in the catsuit too.

reply

Jealous b*tches lol.

There are better looking actresses than her that can actually act.

reply

That booty tho...

reply

Minka Kelly is fine.
Kennix should hit that already. Why else keep her around???

reply

Jumping into a relationship just burns up the story line far too early. Think of Dunham and Bishop in Fringe - that took ages to slow burn.

I have spent the last year as a multi-dimensional wavelength of celestial intent.

reply

Not if they have writers who know what they're doing. The only problem with Kennex/Stahl is Minka Kelly portraying her like a breathy 16 yr old. As another poster said recast with an actress not Miss breathy teenanger.

reply

At least it didn't take 9 years like Skuller and Muldy heh

reply

Oh No they shouldn't- She fits in, besides, what would you choose, Minka sitting on your face, or "Skye" from Agents of SHIELD? Shudder.

reply

The thought of Minka Kelly sitting on my face never happening in my life...thanks for depressing me, dude.

reply

I'd love for this show to be rebooted. Has that ever happened? Just keep the stars of the show and general premise and totally start over. Mulligan.

reply

Glad to hear it will (probably) back. It's safe to say Kennex & Dorian stay. I hope they keep Rudy (the English guy).
===============================================================================
A few years back they did a Knight Rider remake. The 1st season didn't do to well so they rebooted it & got rid of most of the characters for season 2 but I don't thin it made it thru the 2nd season or was canned after it.

reply

Agreed that they obviously should/must keep Kennex & Dorian AND Rudy. But the Captain is the FIRST character the should recast for and rewrite, b/c she's been worrrrrthless as portrayed in S01!

reply

"Scrubs" was rebooted and it was awful! The new version didn't last very long, thank goodness.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

reply

At least you don't have to worry about that happening to Crapmost Human. It's been BOOTED, not rebooted!

HAH!

reply

They did that to "Buck Rogers". Season Two started and all of a sudden, everything took place on a space ship instead of Earth.

If they reboot AH, maybe we can have Hawk from Season Two of "Buck Rogers" as part of a race from the other side of the Wall. He was such a cool character!

Nah, maybe not. ;)

reply

It definitely would be nice if they could "reboot" it. Particularly, air all the episodes in order this time instead of out of order. Kill the fanservice episode. I didn't like that one bit. But, the episodes focusing on the "Wall", they should be stressed more and more as you get closer to the season finale.

Fox needs to do the second season properly. I am still a bit dumbfounded as to why the episodes were aired out of order.

reply

Because they didn't learn their lesson with Firefly. Jesus Christ, those guys are *beep* stupid.

reply

How is it stupid to axe a failing show?

HAH!

reply

Because it's good and worth an effort to build an audience.
Some series you have to let grow. In the USA they are to eager to panic and cancel. They should have more faith in what they produce. But no the suits will never put themselves on the line for a show they believe in.

reply

But, the episodes focusing on the "Wall", they should be stressed more and more as you get closer to the season finale.
Speaking of "the Wall" - did they expand on that plot point and i missed it, or not really?

The last reference to the Wall that I remember was the fugitive roboticist escaping justice by going "over" the Wall - but then, poof! nothing!

I thought for sure we'd learn more about him and the Wall and what's beyond it before the season (1) concluded.

Anyway, so are they renewing AH or not??!

reply

Good, they can start by giving Lili Taylor more to do.

An onion can make people cry, but there is no vegetable invented to make them laugh.

reply

Planning a 're-bot'? LOL

Glad to hear it is going to be around for S2.

BOHICA America!

reply

Too bad. It's cancelled.

reply

THIS.

Please, no PLEASE, give Ms. Taylor more backstory to flesh her character out more.

Then use that backstory to make Montenegro more than just the "female captian", but a strong gemale character that could kick anyone's posterior with a knowing look.

reply

'gemale'? Oh no! LOL

Is that a female 'G-Man'? LOL

BOHICA America!
