Ed's Whiteboard Posting and More Season 2 Spoilers

Ed Burns posted on all his social media pages yesterday a pic of the writer's room whiteboard showing some of the season 2 plots for the characters. Seen on the board were stories coming for the Muldoons, Charlie Bullman, Shea, Duffy, Luticci and Bernadette, Richie Kane, and Capt. Johansson. The other characters were listed, but the pic cut off so we couldn't see what's written besides them. Sounds like some interesting things are coming with some surprises I didn't expect (especially if I'm reading what's right about Terry).

Also, I don't think Ed would've posted this if he wasn't already told about a season 2 renewal. He's already getting congrats on the pick up and this pic actually looks too from when the writers and producers of a TV show actually meet before filming starts (as the "Once Upon a Time" writers and others usually do a month or two before the cast films). So it is officially in pre-production and Ed's already written the scripts.

Just saw Ed posted on his FaceBook page a picture of an apartment building he was looking at today while scouting out filming locations for next season. Sounds like he was hinting at them filming at the end of the year again and early 2016 like they did while filming season 1.

circular logic, nothing is official until the network says so. Ed has little other work to do so he can play on social media all he wants.

If this show were going into production a couple of months prior to broadcast, then this would be a picture taken in May of 16, not Oct. of 15.

They did film season 1 in late fall of 2014 and early 2015. If season 2 follows the same production schedule they will start filming late November or early December. I don't think he'd be posting so much if he doesn't already know, same as other cast members. And even if TNT doesn't renew Ed will find a way to make season 2 happen, even if it has to turn back into an indie film.

The series hit a new low this week. He does not have the resources for an your fantasy indie film.

He knows how to shoot cheap in New York. I got the DVD of "Sidewalks of New York" from Netflix and on the commentary track he showed how they did scenes on the fly. One was funny. Britney Murphy plays a nice girl who goes from one creep boyfriend to another. They picked a front stoop for boyfriend #2 to hassle her in front of her apartment.

A middle aged woman came out and told her she could come inside and asked if she wanted her to call 911 since Britney's character had started to cry. She pointed across the street at a man using a handheld camera. Then thanked the woman and told her it was a movie scene.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

I remember reading about that in his memoir and other stories about how he filmed his low budget movies. That's why I'm convinced if TNT doesn't renew he'll either get it to a streaming service like Netflix or will make it into one of his films.

Stop being so delusional; this isn't the kind of show that can shot "on the fly" guerilla-style. It's a period drama that not only requires wardrobe and props to be made available for all scenes, it also has stunt action scenes, many that require gunplay...just try staging something like that on the streets of NYC and see how long it takes before you're shut down and/or arrested.

Without a renewal from TNT, this show is as baked as a Christmas ham. And with a season average rating of 1.5...dinner is served.

I don't read tweets. I don't write tweets. And I don't like people who do.
