Shattered time and LJ fail.
1. Callum Keith Rennie talks about Shattered (link goes to the Cultural Post). There is a new video on the Global site where Callum is being interviewed. He looks so good, but guess what? "Oh hai! You can view this pretty thumbnail pic, but you don't live in Canada so you cannot view our content." *criez*
The first episode appears to be there too. Taunting me. Damn you, Global.
2. A short article:

TORONTO -- The Entertainment One and Force Four Films police procedural "Shattered" has stumbled out of the gate in Canadian primetime.
The debut episode for the Canuck drama on Global Television on Wednesday night drew only 428,000 total viewers, and a modest 144,000 viewers in the all-important 18-49 demo, according to BBM Canada data.
"Shattered," which drew mixed reviews ahead of its September 1 bow, stars Callum Keith Rennie as a damaged recluse who solves crimes using his multiple-personality disorder. The character-driven series, shot in Vancouver, also stars Camille Sullivan and Molly Parker.
Another E1 cop drama, ABC's "Rookie Blue," debuted with nearly 2 million total viewers earlier this summer on Global Television.
That series, co-produced with Thump Inc., has already received a second-season order.
A third E1 cop drama, "The Bridge," was dropped by CBS from its summer schedule after three episodes on air.
E1 is handling international sales of "Shattered."

I have faith it will improve. The bit about international sales is encouraging, but if it doesn't do well at home, will it still be sold to other networks around the globe? Or will it be tossed aside comletely?! Oh, Callum. I JUST WANT YOU ON MY TEEVEES. *frets*
3. Shattered Trivia: The set designers used some of Callum Keith Rennie's own paintings in the show. You can see them in Ben Sullivan's apartment, esp in the living room over the couch and in the hallway.
I would dearly love to see Ben's apartment in detail. But again, Global are holding it hostage. *pokes at internets*
4. I'm joining the chorus of LJ are idiots, and of course will not be crossposting anything to anywhere, no worries. I do have a shiny new DW (thanks Scriggle!), where I am
bluebelle78. It's blank and bare till I figure out the bells and whistles, but that is my cubbyhole over there. :)
