The Nine

[Maddiemoo]

Aww, I signed it, too. I love this little show! I feel like out of all the serialized shows on, this one was one of the few that actually had multi-season potential. Obviously at one point they'd run out of bank flashbacks, but I'm just as interested in their lives afterwards. I hope that, at the very least, ABC will pull a "Kidnapped" and let them rap up the storyline if they decide to pull the plug. At least then we can get a few answers we haven't gotten yet. And Kathryn and Nick can hook up, because you know they totally have to.

Did the petition succeed? My tivo caught an episode yesterday.

Abc is airing the last six episodes and that is it. Too bad this show is good.

They aren't even doing *that* anymore:

Don't let Stardancer hear you! She looooooves NASCAR.

I like The Nine, so of course it's canceled.

[berrybearie]

Ugh. It's like they've cancelled it twice. It's just not the same on a computer screen.

If we could go back in time, I wish it would have been a miniseries like I saw a TV critic recently suggest.

I just finished watching the 2 episodes that they aired yesterday as I taped them. I was looking forward to see how the missing money plot played out and whether any of the hostages were involved. Dammit. I hate not knowing how it is going to end.

I am always reluctant to get attached to new shows in case they get pulled - I think these days studios don't give them a chance to find an audience.

I read a spoiler on TWoP that Tom, the security guard, was in on the robbery with the brothers, but I don't remember the circumstances of his shooting -- was he shot in the chaos or did one of the brothers (Randall, probably) get mad and shoot him? But anyway, according to someone in Europe who'd seen the remaining eps, Tom was the inside guy.

[canuckcutie]

Oh thanks for that. RE: Tom - in last week's episode he did get shot by Randall while they were stuck in the bank. Tom, the brother and Scott wolf's character alll went in a back room because Tom was having some kind of brain bleed from a head injury (I think) and Randall ended up shooting him.

Going to head over to TWOP and see if I can find any more spoilers.

Still waiting for ABC's confirmation that the show's been yanked, but I tend to believe the sitcomsonline posting since ABC did the same thing to Six Degrees.

Anyway, because I'm a spoiler whore and because there are friendly Swedish T9 viewers at IMDB, I've seen the last three episodes. You might not want to read about them, JIC the show hasn't actually been yanked, or if you plan on watching on abc.com or whatever. Brief recaps:

Ok, so I haven't seen ep 10 "Inside Man", but >>I hear that Lucas tells Nick that Tom the security guard was the inside man. The missing money was hidden in one of the bank's bathroom walls.<<

Ep 11: Man of the Year
>>Lizzie goes out on a date with a hot physical therapist at the hospital, Paul. Apparently he and she dated right before she hooked up with Jeremy. She's been having some weird, romantic dreams about Lucas.

Felicia put up a wall/collage of clippings and photos about the hostage standoff. She still can't remember anything, but she's having weird, religious vision of a Christ-like vision of Lucas holding a lamb.

Egan got his divorce papers. He meets a quirky nurse or social worker friend of Lizzie's and they click.

Nick finds out that the guy who killed his dad is being paroled.

Malcolm is named Man of the Year by the local Big Brother and Sisters Association. Felicia invited Malcolm's "no good brother" to the event and his reappearance stirs up some bad vibes with Malcolm. Malcolm kicks his brother out of his house sometime before the award ceremony.

Kathryn's campaign for DA is gearing up and her campaign manager is emphasizing her hostage experience, while Katheryn wants to lead with her record. Katheryn feels pressured to support a crappily written 3-strikes law. She gives the keynote speech at Malcolm's award ceremony. She decides to take control of her campaign and comes out against the law.

Malcolm takes off after the ceremony and finds his brother at the bus station. Malcolm breaks down because being the guy everyone depends is too much pressure and just leads to no good.<<

Ep. 12: Legacy
>>Felicia, at Lizzie's urging, finally asks Malcolm for more details. Malcolm tells her that Randall tried to drag her down to the vault. Lucas pulled a gun on Randall and threatened to release the rest of the hostages unless Randall left Felicia alone. That explains her connection to Lucas, but not her other visions of Lucas arguing with Malcolm in the vault.

Frannie invites her mother to have dinner with Frannie, her Grandma and Ricky. Grandma is still pissed at Frannie's mom for abandoning the family and has a heart attack at dinner. The Rios women bond in the hospital.

Egan's now working for Katheryn's DA campaign. He helps her connect with voters down at a supermarket, using sales tips he learned from his dad.

Nick's father's killer was released from prison. Nick's friend Mike, the son of his dad's partner (the partner was killed alongside Nick's dad) ,talks Nick into some vigilante justice. Mike has a wife and young kids so Nick assures him that he'll take care of it. Nick tails the murderer home and roughs the guy up, intending to kill him, but the murderer tells Nick that Mike's dad was dirty. The murderer was trying escape from Mike's dad and accidentally shot Nick's. Nick confirms the dirty cop story, but decides not to use that information to clear his own dad's name (his dad was drinking on duty and was blamed for letting the suspect get a hold of his weapon). Nick's the only one who still remembers or cares, and the new info would ruin Mike's memory of his dad.

I can do Ep 13 later if you like. It's a good one.
