Let's NOT do the time warp again!

Okay, that's an easy one, but it happened on Desperate Housewives and I just read this (LINK):

"Battlestar Galactica did it. Desperate Housewives did it. And now yet another popular show is considering utilizing the increasingly-familiar plot device known as the time warp and fast-forwarding all of its stories! Which one? I’d love to tell you, but this is a blind item. So all you’ll get out of me are the following clues:

1. If it happens, the time shift will occur between this season’s finale and next season’s premiere.

2. If it happens, it’ll be because, I’m told, the network wanted to shake up the show and its characters, opening doors to new stories and closing doors on old ones.

3. If it happens… I’ll (hopefully) be telling you about it in the next few weeks.

Sorry, that’s all you get. Well, that, and the chance to speculate below. What still-popular program needs the kinda shot in the arm that only being shot forward in time could provide? Hmm…"

It's from Michael Ausiello; one of his regular blind items. Problem Nr.1: They almost never get solved, so I don't expect any solution any time soon. Problem Nr. 2: I HATE it already. I don't want a time jump. Not on one of my shows. They are usually pretty poorly executed and I hate that they just cut out a part of the story. It makes us realize it's a show and I don't want that. You know what I mean?
And it could be on one of my shows. Let's take a look at my dramas:

Bones:
I would hate it most if it'd happen on Bones. Please no. And there are certain clues it could very well be.
Pro: Apparently, Booth and Brennan have plans to leave for the Army and Somalia respectively for a year. There is also major change and turmoil in the finale, which would fit the one year time jump. (Read also HERE on my thoughts on the finale).
Contra: It would be a horrible creative decision. Bones is about a slowly evolving relationship. A time jump would just put a crimp on Booth and Brennan's relationship. Plus, I would hate it. Just saying. And is this really considered a drama?

Grey's Anatomy:
I'd be okay with it, but I still just want it to go on normally.
Pro: Would fit and it could move some stories along. A MerDer baby could be born. And Shonda promised a game changer episode.
Contra: They'd have to jump time on Private Practice, too. And their finale is one week before the Grey's Anatomy finale, so they would do that earlier and everyone would already know.

Private Practice:
Pro: Basically the same as Grey's Anatomy.
Contra: Same as Grey's Anatomy.

Castle:
Pro: ???
Contra: Highly unlikely as it is just in its second year.

House:
Pro: The producers love to go unconventional ways (Broken, the season 4 and 5 finale) and the formula got a little stale this season.
Contra: Same as Bones: Show about the development of a character. A time jump would put continuity at risk.

Gossip Girl:
Pro: There's talk about a shocking season finale and they need to do something as it is getting a little boring.
Contra: Actually don't find a reason other than not liking it.

I actually think that (if it even is one of my shows and not some other show) it could either be Gossip Girl or Grey's/Private Practice. The hints hint at a show that has recently been a little boring and a multi-character show. They want to close some story-lines (why would they close Booth-Brennan and Hodgins-Angela on Bones?), so that would fit Grey's, PP and Gossip Girl. Hope it's neither of those, but if I had to pick one, I'd probably pick Gossip Girl. Please not Bones or House. And finally, the article is a little vague: Will it actually happen or are they just thinking about it? Hopefully some other show or just thinking about it. My fingers are crossed.

Current Mood: Confused.
