THE CAPE

[Loktar]

No, he just needs to tell his wife and kid that he's still alive and working to clear his name. They'll keep his secret!

The wife maybe. The son will probably blab it the next time his classmates call him Son of Chess.

Insult to injury. American networks are so fucking cold...

The Cape's Crusade Will Conclude Online

March 2, 2011 02:56 PM PST

It appears The Cape has been grounded — not that the dude, like, ever flew in the first place.

A rep for NBC confirms for TVLine that the show’s season finale, which was to have aired this past Monday as part of a double-header, instead will premiere online at NBC.com sometime in March.

The season-ender’s reassignment was first speculated on by TVSeriesFinale.com, which noted this advisory on The Cape‘s NBC.com hub: “The creators … are prepping an exclusive episode just for online fans! Keep watching this site in the days ahead to see a full-length special episode.”

The disappointing performance of both The Cape (which early last month saw its 13-episode order cut to 10) and The Event has caused much shuffling of NBC’s midseason schedule. At first, The Event‘s return from a winter hiatus was pushed back a week so that The Cape could wrap its run on February 28 with a pair of episodes. Instead, NBC made way for Chuck (no argument there!), leaving The Cape‘s finale unaired.

And even the Cape hour that did run on Monday performed far from super-bly: It drew an all-time low 1.1 demo rating, and barely collared 4 million total viewers.

TVLine will let you know as soon as we hear the exact online premiere date for The Cape‘s season finale.

After reading the overwhelming excitement in this thread think I'm going skip it.

I guess the Event should be hitting channel 5 again soon.

There's literally no point in watching The Cape unless you want to see Vinnie Jones shout "NO CAKE FOR YOU" and ponder Summer Glau's decreased (but still nice) hotness.

There's also Keith David.

He's awesome.

Scoop: The Cape Finale Goes Online at Midnight

The Cape will unfurl one final time tonight at midnight EST, when NBC’s freshman action-drama debuts its season finale online at NBC.com.

As previously reported by TVLine, the season finale was to air as part of a double-header on February 28. NBC however pulled the second hour, in part to save Chuck from an unnecessary week of hiatus.

But with Chuck back and The Event having resumed its own freshman run, The Cape‘s capper will not be broadcast but stream online.

The network’s official description of the finale, titled “End Game,” follows:

THE CAPE AND VINCE FARRADAY’S WORLDS COLLIDE AND HARD TRUTHS ARE REVEALED — Police Chief Marty Voyt (Dorian Missick) lands behind bars, in the hands of ARK Corporation, fearing he may receive the same fate as Vince (David Lyons). Attempting to learn more about Vince’s disappearance, Dana (Jennifer Ferrin) takes on Marty’s case, and the impervious ARK Corporation , only to discover secrets of betrayal. The Cape’s double identity becomes blurred when Max (Keith David) and the carnival of crime attempt to protect Dana, Marty and his family.

Will you be firing up the cable modem tonight/this weekend to see how The Cape’s crusade concludes?

That's 8 hours from now, although I'm sure Ukers will have the usual trouble watching video from a US site. BUT WHO KNOWS...

WOOHOO!

Maybe someone will upload it for us...

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I'm sure it will become widely available in no time.

 

[CaptainWacky]

It is now available in the USUAL PLACES.

So the last episode was good for an episode of The Cape, but obviously not meant as a finale as it didn't resolve anything and the Summer Glau mystery story had just started (CYNICALLY it was probably just an attempt to make her more like River/Cameron.) She looked hot in this episode. There was far too much stuff with the Cape interacting with his wife and her not recognising him. Then his partner recognised him after he showed his hair. It was silly.

So, that's The Cape then. Bye.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Yeah I actually thought that epiSUMMER GLAU'S BUMsode was pretty cool and it's a shame the series is basically dead now.

 

[CaptainWacky]

She should play Maggie in The Walking Dead (you haven't read the comic and don't know who that is.)
