Meh.
The sentiment should be more forceful, I suppose, but at the moment it's just kinda not. Partly because I went to bed with a migraine (ETA: Aaaaaand it's back. Ow. Note to self: Get new Midrin scrip.), and thus woke up groggy and weird, and am still just kinda "meh" about everything, including the news that Lifetime will only air the last two BT eps online. (My first impulse, actually, was to be annoyed that the responsibility for announcing it got dumped on andpuff. Who, yes, is having fun playing fangirl in the adaptation of her own sandbox, but who also has work to do on a book in a completely different series. But I realized it came to her from the website folks, who've always been on the fans' side, and that it was just the quickest way for them to make sure we did find out what's going on, which is hardly a priority for the programming department.)
There's also a weird perspective thing happening in my head -- for one thing, they will be putting them online, which leaves us in better shape than the poor Journeyman fans being similarly shafted by NBC.
For another, for all that it aired here first, and Lifetime's purchase of it certainly helped make things happen, it is and always has been a Canadian show. I've been operating for quite a while now on the assumption that the best hope for a second season lies in Kaleidoscope deciding to forge ahead on the overseas (which they already have) and Canadian (which seem reasonably probable) commitments. If Lifetime gets off the fence on the right side, or some other U.S. outlet decides to pick it up, so much the better, but frankly I haven't been holding my breath.
Ergo, meh. Make of the information what you will. :-/
