We didn't blog for two weeks, not because there wasn't anything to write about, but because we were super busy in life.
A lot has happened.
First, the bad news.
Unfortunately, The Player has been cancelled. The network stopped production on the last episode that was being filmed. Fans only get 9 episodes. It wasn't faring well against the top TV show of the season and Thursday night football.
Another sigh...
We're all extremely gutted. Gutted-the word of the week.
We loved Thursday nights with the cast and crew, all the guest stars and new friends on Twitter.
The show was too good for network TV.
Hope of hopes that another network or online company takes it, but it does not seem to be, so far. If we hear anything, we'll let you know.
Here are some pictures from the last episode filming:

If this show does not get renewed, we hope for the best for all cast and crew. Thank you for letting us take the ride with you. It was AWESOME!
With this pending cancellation, this does open new avenues for Philip.
We still think he'd be the best James Bond. They should have the cast and crew create the new James Bond film. They know action really well. Who cares about plot when you are on the edge of your seat?!
This also opens the possibility of Philip showing up on Blindspot for a Strike Back reunion with Sullivan Stapleton.
This also opens more of a possibility of the Strike Back film.
And more possibilities for other possibilities that no one has offered yet.
Maybe we should work on our screenplay and see where it will go. Yeah?
While Philip was promoting The Player, here is one of the the interviews:

Also, there was just posted a petition to save The Player. If you believe that your signature and a petition will have an affect, sign and let everyone you know sign! Let's get this show back!

The best thing we can do is to still watch the show for the last four shows and then watch on DVR or apps to show the network that we love the show. Only numbers can prove that the show is worth saving.
So make sure you watch The Player for the last 4 episodes with your friends, family, and everyone you know!
