We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about dozens of shows including Euphoria, How I Met Your Father, Batwoman and Ghosts!
1 | Ray Donovan fans, did you interpret the final moment in the Showtime’s wrap-up movie — with Liev Schreiber’s titular fixer emerging from the swimming pool and walking towards the sun — as confirmation that he died from his gunshot wound?
2 | As Blue Bloods‘ Danny hopefully learned, would a regular person ever cover the dinner tab of a celebrity they just met? A celebrity such as Jimmy Buffett, who’s sitting on royalties from a 50-year career? Also, wasn’t it pretty pat that Jamie’s ill-received “Salute the Desk” rule very randomly justified itself within a matter of days?
3 | On Euphoria, whose mental health currently has you the most concerned: Rue, who continues to slide down her spiral, or Cassie, whose “relationship” with Nate seems like a Dateline episode in the making? How the heck did Nate find Cassie after she ran into that maze of half-built houses? And we know it has a zero percent chance of ending well, but are you still kinda ‘shipping Lexi and Fez?
4 | Yellowjackets finale spoilers ahead! If Lottie is, indeed, alive in the present, who would be your dream casting pick to play her? What kind of election has its “results” announced the next day? Shouldn’t Taissa have been too busy with last-minute campaigning to hide a body and attend her high school reunion? And does that mean the high school reunion was held on a Tuesday?
5 | Didn’t Bravo superfan Lukas Gage’s inaugural visit to Watch What Happens Live feel more like a first date between him and host Andy Cohen?
6 | When teasing the Moon Knight trailer during Monday night’s Rams/Cards game, did ESPN’s Steve Levy really pronounce it “Mar-VELL Studios,” multiple times?
7 | Anyone else spot The Neighborhood‘s very special guest star this week?
8 | Couldn’t NCIS: Hawai’i‘s Lucy have gone undercover as, like, a spoiled Los Angeles socialite at the poker game, instead of an overly attention-drawing, “Y’all”-heavy “Texas princess”?
9 | On How I Met Your Father, where were Valentina’s pants while she was running around New York City in basically an oversized t-shirt that you’d sleep in?
10 | What does This Is Us have against cooking appliances/tools? First the slow cooker, now a smoker… Also, how subpar was Kate and Toby’s babysitter that she couldn’t handle a toddler meltdown on her own? And is anyone else worried about how insufferable Toby will be by the time his son Jack gets injured?
11 | Since New Amsterdam brought up Vijay this week (and Dr. Kao was let go), who the heck is the Head of Neurology right now anyway? And why would Trevor think it was OK to flirt with his boss if Iggy were straight?
12 | Were you taken aback by how different Superman & Lois‘ Lucy Lane story is compared to Supergirl‘s? And how long do you think it’ll take for Sarah and Natalie to end up together?
13 | Is it us or does Naomi‘s Nathan, played by Daniel Puig, sound like and resemble a young Obama? (Does that make Naomi a young Michelle?)
14 | Did the first few minutes of this week’s Queens make you think you’d tuned in to a different show?
15 | Which was the sillier, extremely public place for The Kings of Napa‘s August and Dana to discuss their late father’s secrets — backstage at the gala where he was being honored, or loudly at a busy restaurant? And why wouldn’t Bridgette close the door behind herself and August to show her the letters Reginald wrote to her mother?
16 | In the WeCrashed trailer, does Jared Leto look more like Tommy Wiseau in The Room? Or James Franco as Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist?
17 | Why would Boba Fett think his armor was still in the Sarlacc Pit? Did he not remember having it on when he crawled out? (If the Beskar in fact saved him from dissolving, as Fennec suggested, wouldn’t that have been his second first hint?)
18 | On Legends of Tomorrow, whose reality show transformation did you enjoy most? And did Behrad’s “real” moment take you by surprise with its sincerity?
19 | Batwoman fans, were you surprised it happened like this? Does this mean we’re finally getting a Ryan-Sophie romance?
20| Out of the four Amazing Race teams who couldn’t return to the show post-COVID lockdown, which duo is the biggest loss?
21 | Were you pleasantly surprised when Sistas‘ Calvin handily handled the man who disrespected him? Were you also nervous, considering the “pirouette” Jacobi caused Calvin to do when he knocked him out last season?
22 | In his dad’s house, Peacemaker walked by a TV news report about a gorilla having escaped the zoo that morning. So how did the newspaper headlines at the jail say “Gorilla Still Missing”? (And does anyone suspect we will meet said gorilla?)
23 | If And Just Like That‘s Carrie has millions of dollars, why is she staying in her old apartment with a noisy neighbor keeping her awake downstairs? Go spend the night in a luxury hotel suite!
24 | Given how many recurring characters the Bel-Air reboot seems to be adding, at what point will we meet Hilary’s eventual fiancé Trevor? And do we think history will be rewritten so he doesn’t die in a bungee-jumping accident on live television?
25 | What are you finding to be the bigger draw to be on Jeopardy! at the moment: Amy Schneider’s record-breaking winning streak, or her delightfully warm and funny repartee with host (and fellow champ) Ken Jennings?
26 | Were you half expecting Thursday’s Young Sheldon, which saw the boy genius sneak off to his first-ever comic book convention, to be the origin story of when he went to see no-show Wil Wheaton? And did you ever think you’d see former Blue Clues host/Sheldon theme song artist Steve Burns back on the Big Bang Theory prequel following his Season 3 cameo as Nathan?
27 | Liz’s death on The Blacklist certainly was tragic, but how many times is the show going to make us rewatch it?
28 | Didn’t you think Ghosts would explain why the secret vault door was randomly impenetrable…?
29 | Was Law & Order: Organized Crime‘s Stabler/Wheatley cage match perhaps the first instance on broadcast television of panties setting off a smackdown?
30 | Doesn’t Servant‘s Julian have anything better to do than hang around his sister’s family and their creepy nanny?
Hit the comments with your answers — and any other Qs you care to share!
What about Queens nod to Buffy? Sunnydale anyone
Last Friday’s Blue Bloods was probably one of the worst in its 12 season history (Buffett storyline and no murder for Danny and Ramirez to investigate)..
ughh
I’ve seen every ep, and it’s getting a little boring, a bit stale…needs something! I’ve always wanted Frank to have a lady in his life. I’ve already written it in my head, Mary McDonnell as an Irish-Catholic longtime NYer…but more to the left politically than he is.
😛💕👨✈️💃☘️
I hate like hell to be agreeing with you on this. I’ve never been disappointed in a Blue Bloods show until then.
29. I guess it flew past me, but that elevator brawl seemed to come out of thin air. Where were they? How did Stabler find him or vice versa? What happened to Angela’s faking disability? Is she in on taking Wheatley down? Will there be any piece of scenery left after DMcD seemingly going farther over the top every week? IMO a weak ep, but Robin Lord Taylor has been excellent.
There are too many instances where Jamie on Blue Bloods is just too full of himself. I would like Eddie to become a detective or working with D.A.’s office more often. She seems in her element.
Yes, Jamie is very self-righteous..and at this point, he and Jenko should not be working in the same precinct together….
AGREE
2) Both points VERY valid
20)Spencer & Anthony (The Heroes)
25) Happily surprised by Ken’s interactions with Amy
I agree that Spencer and Anthony were the biggest loss.
Ken is fawning over Amy and it’s annoying as hell.
yes it is annoying, more over he/she shouldn;t be an issue in the news all over a game show. Amy being that smart is good for show I guess. but i am sick of hearing he/she is first woman to win that much money. never hear you say a man is the first man to win that much money or games. and it gets a little boring with the same person winning time after time. i liked the other rules better
It’s just she.
I don’t remember seeing you whining about Jeopardy’s news coverage when it was all about Matt Amadio.
.
And as Meg previously noted: it’s just she.
Question 5: DUDE, that was the most AWKWARD and CRINGE moment on WWHL. It was so hard to watch. I was severely uncomfortable. Lukas Gage is way too young for Andy.
For years the show books young male guests and model type bartenders for him… *wink*
8 | Couldn’t NCIS: Hawai’i‘s Lucy have posed as, like, a spoiled Los Angeles socialite at the poker game, instead of an attention-drawing, “Y’all”-heavy “Texas princess”?
Why is that an issue? I am from Texas and we do things larger than life. We don’t have princesses (that’s for other shows). She could have been from a large ranch family…we have thise here y’all. Besides why LA? Why not NY or any other state. Just saying.
Personally, I think she pulled the spoiled Texas brat off well and it suited her.
Who was the special guest on the Neighborhood??
The bug jumping off the food in the GIF.
The bug jumping off of the food in the GIF.
thats what I want to know!
There’s a live fly in the included GIF. Maybe not visible on small screens?
I thought it was the cauliflower!
8. But Lucy really is from Texas oil money, so it isn’t too far of a stretch.
Love this
No. It was renewed for Season 2.
18/19 Couln’t be bothered with either to be honest, I think I’m done with the Arrowverse after this season. Stopped watching The Flash ages ago. Legends is getting sillier and sillier and Batwoman is becoming soapier, I was hoping Bridget Regan would save it but not so far.
I couldn’t agree with you more on all points. Stopped with the Flash seasons ago, just before leaving Supergirl. Picked it up again this year to see the disappointing crossover event. Stopped with Legends after the StayPuff wanna be stupidity. And does every relationship in Gotham have to be gay oriented?
6. Steve Levy is a Kree!!
.
22. Chekov’s Gorilla?
10. I hope Toby and Kate split amicably. (I don’t want them to split at all) but Toby is at the house in the flash forwards so he must be good with the family.
25. Draw is to see Amy taken down. Hopefully before she reaches Ken’s record.
28. I suspect the vault will be integrated into the story in the future. I want to know how much that $5K watch sold for today!!!!
Given the average inflation rate of 2.63% per year, if we assume Elias bought the watch for $5,000 not long before he died in 1890, then it’d be worth approximately $153,187.91 today.
That’s not how the antiques market works. Just watch a segment on Antiques Roadshow on antique time pieces. It’s value has more to do with rarity and other things than how much it cost when it was purchased. Guessing between $5000 and $15000 if it is actually a rare watch and still works. It could be worth much less also.
If it’s like a desirable Patek Philippe or something similar, it could be worth a LOT more than that!!
But wasn’t Toby hesitant to go to the house on the phone with Randall before being convinced?
Anna Beth Gish as Lottie
Holy cow, that a suggestion is amazing!
Yes, she would be perfect casting.
20. Amazing Race: most disappointed that we a) lost gay husbands Taylor & Isaiah, and b) DIDN’T lose obnoxious tiktok family Kim and Penn..
23. AJLT: Yes, no sympathy for Carrie on that one. Choosing to lay low in your nostalgic (still million-plus-dollar) apartment means you can’t complain about your decidedly downtown neighbours.
#10) I’m more worried about how whiney and insufferable they have made Kate lately, not Toby. I almost forward through her parts.
Thank you!
9) Tell me you know nothing about Women’s fashions without telling me you know nothing about women’s fashions. T-shirt dresses are absolutely a thing. Also, are we letting Ariana Grande’s tireless work of influencing millions of us to pair thigh high boots and sweatshirts go unnoticed?
4. Sandrine Holt.
9. I actually didn’t notice that. I thought she was wearing like really short white jorts or something. Goes to show you how much I paid attention to these episodes.
12. A tad surprised, if only because Supergirl never seemed to acknowledge a change to its timeline involving Lucy. I think the S&L writers are taking a bit too much liberty with the Crisis reset. Also, I give it maybe 3 episodes before Sarah and Jordan are broken up and then Sarah and Natalie hooking up (not necessarily getting together, but hooking up) will be not long after that.
18. Definitely Gideon’s or Spooner’s. Nate’s was just annoying (where did the guido accent suddenly spawn from?). And unrelated: It took me a second to figure out why they were bleeping out all of Gwyn’s references to God in his prayer, but then it clicked for me that it was a hell reality show. Nice touch.
19. Not really surprised at all. Ryan and Sophie since Day One have clearly been set up to be the (Legends reference) “friends-to-lovers trope.” And nothing moves the friends-to-lovers trope forward like one of you almost dying, except when one of you almost dies because of the other.
28. No, because they lampshaded it.
Nate’s accent came from the same place all the other character’s reality show quirks came from: hellish influence from the cursed crew to stir up drama. Astra was very clear they were being manipulated. It was no more annoying than Spooner’s Survivor-esque competitiveness or Sarah’s sudden housewifization.
The point I was trying to make, though, is that there’s nothing in Nate’s backstory that would have him turn into a Jersey Shore-esque caricature. Sara being in a domestic relationship and feeling the pressures of being a captain and wanting to escape could easily lead to the Housewife-ization as you called it. Spooner was stolen as a child and raised herself, thus the Survivor theme. Nate isn’t from Jersey, the real Nate (distinguished from last week’s Robo-Nate) has never been a muscle head, etc.
A clearer point. I think it had to do more with Nate being the only character who fit the muscle head staple they wanted to portray. He’s the most physical of the remaining male characters, even if that’s not a focus of his character. Behrad had his own significant development, and Gwyn and Gary would make even less sense as a Jersey Shore caricature.
For S&L I want them to get as far from the arrowverse as they can. Used to love the arrowverse shows but only stilly watching legends and even that is not as good as it was.
I appreciate that S&L has carved its own niche in the Arrowverse, particularly in terms of the way its shot. But still being part of a cinematic universe, there should be some level of cohesion.
4. The three best suggestions that I have seen mentioned, Shannyn Sossamon, Sandrine Holt and Miriama Smith.
4. I like Moon Bloodgood – I am exciting for casting!
Sheldon tried to meet Wil Wheaton at the Dixie Star Trek convention, which was in 1995.
1. Regarding Carrie/AJLT – a newspaper columnist wouldn’t make enough money to live in Carrie’s appt and buy all those shoes. She seemed to find comfort in her old apartment with her old shoes and clothing.
2. I stopped watching Jeopardy because I don’t find the long string of wins from contestant Amy to be fair to the daily new contestants. It’s boring. I am no longer a fan.
Haven’t been a fan since Alex passed away, just not the same show. They should take it off the air!
I agree. It is boring. You know Amy is going to win with that self satisfied, smug little smile. Gag. We need Holtzhour or the Beast to take her down! I will watch Jeopardy again when I hear she has lost.
I don’t find her smile “smug” at all. I think she comes across as relatively humble and down-to-earth considering how much money she’s made and how long she’s been on. Heck, if I could accomplish what she has, I’d be dancing like a crazy woman behind my podium and really pissing off judgmental people. I’m thoroughly enjoying her run just as much as I have every other impressive run on Jeopardy! over the years.
I agree. I think she just looks soooo happy when she smiles and why wouldn’t she. I love her!
Agreed.
I disagree with your comment about Amy’s smile. It is not smug. And I have to say that the real issue is when anyone goes on a run. I stopped watching when Holtzhour and Amadio were on their streaks, and I found them both much more annoying than Amy. They need to have some kind of cap like they used to. Also, I believe that the other competitors have a disadvantage because that buzzer thing is tricky and the longer you stay, the more comfortable it is to use it.
This. It’s not just true of Amy–all these longterm champs from the times I’ve checked in just mop the floor with their opponents. They;ve gamed the game! Bring back some limit on the number of wins.
While I have absolutely nothing against Amy, I hate it for the competitors that after a long audition process they get stuck with her. It was so much better when they had a limit to how many days you could compete. Bring her back for “all-star” versions, but for the love, give someone else a chance!!
Agree
4. Someone said Jordana Brewster for Lottie.
25. Neither. I watch to match myself against the boards, the rest is just ephemera.
Where is Sheldon going to spend those three nights? Big plot hole unless it is continued to next weel’s show where his Dad retrieves him.
I assumed he was day tripping it to the convention. He’ll still be busted.
3) I suppose the only thing I’m shipping for Lexi and Fez is for her to have a little, wild fun. I’d still rather see her and Rue have something. But more than that, I’d like to see her remain a center of stability in this wacko universe.
27) Honestly, since they killed Liz, I’m not particularly invested in anything that happens in Blacklist. I’ll stick with it to the end, but they successfully gutted the entire series motivating energy.
I was just saying to my husband that Lexi is the only sane person on this show. lol
