As you know, I literally can't post articles from Tu/Th job, so of 
course Robin is going to beat me!

That out of the way, I'm flabbergasted they've "uncancelled" "SWAT" a 
second time. (Is it really going "OK" in the ratings by this point?!!)

Especially, because season #7 was specifically commissioned to *properly 
end the series*!!

So, now what are they going to do?!!

My guess? - They "reboot" this will an all new cast in S8, except for 
Shemar Moore, who I'm guessing will now be in charge of an all new 
"SWAT" team.

Doing this allows them to have season #7 "count", while also cutting the 
costs on casting going into season #8 (an all new cast of newbies should 
come cheap!!).

Regardless, this is beyond perplexing!
