Is Survivor 45 Cast Soft? Is Loki Doing Sylvie Dirty? Jarring Bosch Recast? Is Magnum Saving for Ring? And More Qs!
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 lotsa shows including Survivor, Bosch: Legacy, The Morning Show, Daryl Dixon, Loki and more!
1 | Did you catch The Fall of the House of Usher‘s blink-and-you-miss-it nod to the Mike Flanagan-directed Gerald’s Game when Morrie and Lenore were scrolling through Netflix? And — spoiler alert! — before Dupin revealed there was no informant, which of the Ushers were you sure had dropped a dime on the family?
2 | In SNL‘s “Secretary” sketch, do you think Heidi Gardner’s blouse was supposed to come off when the desk collapsed? Because she looked quite anxious covering herself up after.
3 | Was it less believable that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’s Laurent is the messiah or that the title character could manage to locate his grandfather’s grave marker among hundreds? Were you surprised to learn that Genet had somehow risen to power from… her job as a museum night-shift employee?
4 | On Billions, wasn’t it unbelievable that presidential candidate Mike Prince and Axe had a prolonged, charged conversation in the middle of a public plaza — at a huge fundraiser in Prince’s honor — and not one passer-by stopped to gawk? And after all this time in the game, isn’t it odd that Wendy signed her new employment contract without reading it carefully?
5 | At the Love Is Blind Season 5 reunion, didn’t it seem like Nick and Vanessa took viewer notes and asked stronger questions this time?
6 | How great was it to get one last blast of Robin Williams’ Genie in the Disney 100 Once Upon a Studio short, especially knowing it wasn’t A.I. but leftover voice work approved for use by his family? And did you get unexpectedly emotional at the end of the short?
7 | Anyone have a bad feeling about the prospective Halloween TV series, that it will just be some Michael and Laurie-less, Friday the 13th: The Series-type anthology about cursed tchotchkes being passed around?
8 | Watching Kitchen Nightmares, how badly did you want to reach into the screen and give Mr. 2.6 Million Followers, Can’t Keep a Straight Face When Told Mom Is $500K in Debt a head slap and talk some sense into the lazy “influencer”?
9 | After that tease of Alec singing in this week’s The Irrational, how long before the show works in a way for Broadway vet Jesse L. Martin to croon for real?
10 | Now that Netflix is diving back into live streaming with The Netflix Cup, should we offer thoughts and prayers in advance given what happened with the Love Is Blind attempted live reunion?
11 | Do the creators of The Bear get some sort of stipend for Lifetime’s not-so-subtly titled holiday movie Yes, Chef! Christmas?
12 | Who at Dancing With the Stars thought it was a good idea for Adrian Peterson, famously charged with felony child abuse in 2014, to dance to “Baby Mine” from Dumbo on Disney Night?
13 | Why did The Morning Show‘s Paul start making toast before his frittata was in the oven? (Wouldn’t the toast just get cold?) How does a show as expensive as this one manage to have such terrible green screen (see below)? And after the most recent Handmaid’s Tale finale, does the use of The Beach Boys’ “Kokomo” in a prestige drama immediately put you on edge?
14 | With a second quit officially in the books, we have to ask: Does anyone on the cast of Survivor 45 actually want to play this game? And if Jake is, indeed, pulled for medical reasons as the previews for next week suggest, is 45 shaping up to be one major (supersized) flop?
15 | Do you think Magnum P.I.’s Thomas was telling Juliet the truth about sending money to an old mentor, or is he actually saving up for a 💍? And did the show take some liberties with how gas masks work/apparently can quickly “revive” you?
16 | As TVLine reader Alex notes, how could Chucky have opened up that umbrella if its tie wrap was snapped closed?
17 | With Frasier flashing back to his ridiculous TV talk show, are you kind of wishing we wouldn’t have skipped over those years and instead picked up with him suffering through a job well beneath his intellect? (Speaking of, if that show-within-a-show was only on for 14 seasons, but Frasier was in Chicago for 19 years, what was he up to his first five years in the Windy City?) Where was Eve’s baby this week? And did you spot the photo of Freddy in a Harvard sweatshirt on Dr. Crane’s desk — a visual reminder of his wish that his son hadn’t dropped out of school?
18 | Loki viewers, what’s your knee-jerk theory on the big secret that Miss Minutes knows about Renslayer? Were you braced to see voice actress Tara Strong possibly play a flesh-and-blood Miss Minutes? And is it just us or has Season 2 done the once-enigmatic and entertaining Sylvie so, so wrong?
19 | On Bachelor in Paradise, were you surprised there was no twist with Sam’s exit? Like, the SUV’s brake lights slam on, she gets out and dashes into the jungle and…?
20 | About that Doom Patrol musical episode…. Why?!?! Like, watching Cliff’s “I Wanna Drive My Stick” number, were you think, “Ladies and gentleman, Oscar winner Brendan Fraser!”?
21 | Watching the Bosch: Legacy Season 2 premiere, were you a bit thrown that, due to scheduling issues, they recast Maddie’s kidnapper with someone (The Office alum David Denman) who looks nothing like the original actor (Nashville‘s Will Chase)? (And yes, they quietly swapped the character’s reshot introductory scenes into those two Season 1 episodes already on Freevee.)
22 | But seriously, who says no to this Field of Dreams cast??
Hit the comments with your answers and any TV Qs of your own!
You kidding I started to lose it when Mickey looked at the Walt portrait
Me too! I was misty eyed through a lot of the short as it brought back sooooo many memories, but Mickey at Walt’s photo was the major tear-jerker. Either way an amazing short with a ridiculous amount of “easter eggs” to spot.
Yes! And after hearing that they brought Richard Sherman and his piano back in to Walt’s Office to record Feed the Birds…. I’m gonna lose it again
2) No, blouses don’t come off from a backward fall unless they’re a tearaway. She’s just that good a comedy actress.
It didn’t come off from the fall, she had to have taken it off when they cut away to Pete.
9 >> Save that for Season 3
22 >> Woulda Coulda Shoulda
17) I figured he started off doing his radio show there, while guesting on Oprah or some such, before being given his own show.
I thought it was believable that Frasier would do a talk show in the pretentious, fake-empathetic “Dr. Phil” style of the early episodes. But the idea that he would let it turn into a Jerry Springer-style circus? I don’t think his ego would have allowed for that, even at the risk of cancellation.
I think his ego was big enough that he’d become addicted to being a celebrity and would do whatever necessary to keep up the ratings.
14. It is a little ridiculous. Especially since now they are only away from their family for 26 days . I still enjoy survivor, but shortening the length of the Island time seems the stakes are less.
It’s more than 26 days with travel, etc, but I agree. And, it’s not like Sean left the island and immediately got on a plane and went home!
Let’s not see it that way with Survivor both parties that left got their fullfillment accomplished so it’s not exactly a waste and even if Jake leaves on an emergency reasons he’s injured. Do you not expect him to leave, REALLY? I don’t have a favorite yet but at first I wanted Bruce to win now I’m thinking not he seems like a real jerk.
I hope they’re not fooling us with Magnum and a happy ending for the six main characters especially Higgie and Magnum. It would be great to see them get married and her be pregnant but I seriously doubt they would have wrote it like that.
The show runner for Magnum assured fans that the finale ends on a happy note. Too bad we won’t get to see more, but it went longer than most shows nowadays.
Is this Sean? “Got their fulfillment accomplished” is another way of saying I thought I was something I’m not, I’m too soft for this game & want to go home. It’s embarrassing they keep casting people too fragile to cut it when thousands of others would do anything to be there. Sean & Hannah are getting destroyed all over social media & rightfully so. Him saying he wanted to se his husband was utterly ridiculous. First of all, you don’t go straight home. Second, even if u did it was only another 2 weeks.
Soft…soft…soft.
I definitely had a minute thinking we would get to see Tara Strong as real-life Miss Minutes. I am starting to think she is the real big bad.
It would be sad if Jake left because I think he’s cute. I was concerned when he had that seizure because I wouldn’t have known what caused it and I doubt he got medical attention to identify why that happened. It’s not like he said he gets them all the time to know the root cause of it. When Shawn said he knew he wanted to be with his husband I rolled my eyes. At first I thought he was kidding and he was acting to blindside Sifu, but then when he kept going I knew it was real. I wish Bruce would get eliminated because he’s annoying. Sabiyah would’ve wanted to stay and she had an idol and he came to this realization once they swapped tribes. Boy Bye.
18 – Sylvie was never once enigmatic to me in S1 but her mullet is doing her no additional favors in S2.
I was more surprised at Cory singing in his mother’s living room than probably anything else that’s happened in this series.
7) im more concerned about you turn michael stalking into a weekly thing when its been done to death already on screen
12 | Who at Dancing With the Stars thought it was a good idea for Adrian Peterson, famously charged with felony child abuse in 2014, TO BE ON THE SHOW AT ALL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Yeah it was 2014 abc at the trial we found out oh his ex was just as bad but it seems the women get free passses
Thank you. I read the OG statement and thought, “THAT’s your question???”
