Cheers to Walton Goggins for finding life after The Shield.
The intensely talented actor, who's dominated the final two seasons of the FX cop show as renegade detective Shane Vendrell, is developing a new drama series for AMC, Rectify, about a falsely convicted felon. In addition to starring, Goggins will executive-produce with Ray McKinnon (his collaborator on the 2001 Oscar-winning short The Accountant) and Breaking Bad's Mark Johnson. With a pedigree like this, how can it miss?

Question: I've been watching episodes of Crossing Jordan on A&E for a few weeks now and find it pretty entertaining, so I looked up the date of the new season premiere and read that NBC had canceled it. Just like that, on a cliff-hanger? I know it's been on for six seasons, but what bothers me most is how it ended. The finale didn't feel like a series finale. The producers clearly didn't know they weren't getting another season. Are the rumors of its cancellation true? If so, how disappointing.

As for Crossing Jordan: It's hardly a rumor. It's finished. At least two of its stars are on new fal ...
