Mincing words again Josh?
I really think the situation is the opposite. The show runners appear to really want to get this right. As far as the time slot, isn't that meaningless in this day and age? It's only for the pilot episode. The episodes are on demand viewing I'm thinking, I've never paid for any TV service, but as this is streaming, I figure I can watch at 4:00 in the morning and see what episode I want as long as I'm within the window of opportunity.
My guess on the season break, to keep the revenue coming in if you forget to end the service and re-up when the second half premieres. Or if you're hooked, you watch the other offerings from CBS. They appear to be fully committed to the full season run, so I doubt the second half is waiting to be produced just to check if the ratings demand it.
But we'll see I guess.
