Dominion: It Should Be Renewed

A hot new show that takes the world by storm

                Dominion has gained quite a following over these past few weeks and the ratings have remained steady slightly rising and falling then rising again. I can't see a reason this show shouldn't be renewed. But with SyFy it's hard to tell what they're feeling or thinking unlike NBC that still relies on Nielsen ratings (a dead rating system). So here are reasons why they should renew Dominion: 

Come on that was hilarious.
You don't want more scenes like this???

Move over Dracula there's a new supernatural immortal
stud in town and he's got wings

            1. First off I'm sick of all the vampires, werewolves, and witches. I love The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and Witches of East End but I'm getting tired of the genre it's been done to death. Let's give angels a chance to stir things up.

Not many fun antagonists like Gabriel around anymore

           2. The only other angel focused show is Supernatural and fans of that show have been flocking to Dominion. The CW's hit show is on its way out the door as rumors circulate confirming that season 10 will be Supernatural's last season and although the Bloodlines spin-off didn't work out The CW is hoping to try again in season 10 but who knows if that will pay off (unless the executives do a Men of Letters spin-off which they should have done in the first place). Face it once Supernatural is over that fan base will be hungry for another show to fill the void. While Dominion isn't much like Supernatural (unless you count the disgruntled angels being jerks and bent on mankind's destruction along with the usual daddy issues) the fans can't get enough of angels. SyFy would be wise to catch the opportunity of grabbing the loyal and passionate fan base of Supernatural. 

Let's get ready to rumble

          3. I feel like the show is just getting started. Episode 7 "Ouroboros" was a real eye opener into not only what Alex is capable of but also of Michael's bloody past and the burden of guilt he's been carrying all this time. You can't just end this on a cliffhanger, stories like this need an ending and no open ended crap like you can do with ER or CSI. Boring procedurals can have open endings because crime and health are constant struggles so all you need to do is tie up characters and give them closure. Not so much for shows like Dominion, where there's a deeper meaning to the story as well as mysteries that need solving. 

Fans pray like this everyday for renewal.
Don't disappoint them!

Fun, dynamic characters with amazing chemistry is hard to find.

         4. Since the producers and actors have been communicating with the fans via Twitter even a few weeks before the Pilot aired, the constant interaction has really boosted morale and has fans fighting even harder to get SyFy's attention on why they should renew Dominion. SyFy can see their viewership go up in the future if they renew for a season 2. In summer the numbers are never as high as one would expect because people go on vacation and spend less time inside watching TV but the numbers look good enough deserving of a renewal.

I think I deserve a treat, SyFy

         I understand that Dominion is expensive to film but I can tell you that it's worth every penny. The vampire fad is coming to an end and as actor Anthony Head (plays David Whele) puts it: "Angels are the new Vampires" and I agree. Dominion has attracted quite the attention and is getting more exciting each episode. The characters are multi-layered and becoming more intriguing, the story lines are captivating, and the setting ties it all together to make for a viable series. Too many shows have been cancelled this year, too many great science fiction shows so it would be a real shame to cancel Dominion. I want a season 2 to look forward to again.
