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 Loki, The Morning Show, Family Guy, The Santa Clauses and Bosch: Legacy!
1 | Is anyone worried that while the new “Marvel Spotlight” designation may come as a relief to those who bristle at MCU “homework,” it will cordon off Echo and the like that same way that Jeph Loeb’s Netflix Marvel shows were?
2 | Is anyone else totally ‘shipping The Chosen’s Ramah and Thomas? Was this week’s scene with Nathaniel crashing Simon Peter and Eden’s alone time as funny as any network sitcom? And if you watched the “making of” Q&A after, do you have to chuckle at the writers’ un-ironic references to the Jesus drama’s “Easter eggs”?
3 | How many of you who are rewatching Yellowstone on CBS are sharing our bummedness that the show never pursued a romance between Jimmy and Avery?
4 | How sure were you that Fear the Walking Dead had no sharks left to jump when it had Dwight and Sherry see a finch, the bird after which Padre named their late son?
5 | How can Family Guy give us a flashback to Brian’s days as a puppy with the Griffins when it’s already been established that Peter found him as an adult on the side of the road?
6 | Should someone have maybe advised Phil McGraw against launching a new cable network in the year 2023?
7 | Didn’t The Irrational’s foley artist (sound effects editor) get a little carried away in this week’s episode? There’s no way that Alec and Rose, staking out a building from across the street, would’ve been able to hear something fall over in the office where the gallery owner got into a shoving match.
8 | First a mention of “Gangnam Style” on the Gen V finale, and now a group dance number on Dancing With the Stars… Is the universe trying to bring that song back? And could it not, please?
9 | When Patrick Dempsey was revealed as People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2023, were you like, “Wait, he never won during his Grey’s Anatomy run…?!”
10 | Regarding the Morning Show finale: After Alex realized that Paul was spying on her conversation with Bradley, why did she continue using her personal device to communicate with Laura about the UBA/NBN merger? And why does everyone seem so confident the merger will be approved? Will the Federal Trade Commission not have concerns about letting two broadcast networks merge? Lastly, as much as we enjoyed Chip’s expletive-laden rant, would the average American care much (or at all) about the network’s internal business drama?
11 | Are we certain The Santa Clauses isn’t a horror series? Because the flashback to the year 1307 could’ve fooled us!
12 | Can we all agree that the original title for Mandy Patinkin’s new Hulu series — Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem — is a far better (and less generic) title than Death and Other Details?
13 | How dare The Golden Bachelor make us wait until the end of the episode to find out if Gerry dumped Faith or Theresa? Did you get as misty as Jesse Palmer did when Ellen told that story about her late friend Roberta? And are we seeing things, or did Gerry dye his hair between shooting his season and the live shows?
14 | Big Brother fans, did Jag’s aggressively confident finale Q&A with the jury (as well as his final speech to the jurors) earn your respect, or diminish it? Also, given the massive format changes coming to December’s Reindeer Games edition, might it be the least appealing iteration of Big Brother ever?
15 | Given how Loki ended, do you suspect/lament we may never see the God of Mischief/Stories again in the MCU? Or did that closing sequence in fact set him up to play a meaningful role in the MCU movies’ Kang arc, if it remains intact? And given the MCU’s penchant for side quests, how relieved were you that the finale completely skipped over those centuries when Loki was learning quantum mechanics?
16 | How did no one on Upload notice Nathan sitting in the courtroom? And — FINALE SPOILER ALERT! — which Nathan do you hope survived the season?
17 | In Bosch: Legacy’s final Season 2 episodes — SPOILER ALERT! — as much as we love a cunning Chandler, wouldn’t the FBI have done due diligence and confirmed that the bag of shredded paper was in fact the Carl Rogers files? Did your eyes well up soon as Lance Reddick’s Irving entered that one scene? And out of thousands of boat slips at Marina del Rey, what were the odds Maddie was in sprinting distance of the gunshots?
18 | Is there anything more disturbing than the John Travolta-as-Santa-Claus-Doing-Saturday-Night-Fever Capital One commercial?
Hit the comments with your answers and any TV Qs of your own!
9: yeah even I noticed and I was like “Oh sure now they named him Sexiest Man Alive 8 YEAR AFTER HE LEFT THE SHOW”
9. Shortly be the announcement someone posted that People’s Sexiest Man Alive is usually someone that your moms think ist hot. Five years ago. I was certainly thinking of that when he was announced.
Just more proof of how meaningless the designation is.
10 – Paul wasn’t spying on Alex’s phone…he was spying on Bradley’s. He saw Alex’s message to Bradley about Hanover via Bradley’s phone, just as he heard Bradley’s conversation with Laura via Bradley’s phone. Bradley was being overly paranoid/cautious when she made Alex leave her phone outside, but I would have done the same thing.
13. My husband pointed out Gerry’s hair difference too, and yes, that wait to see how the rose ceremony ended was torture!
14. Diminish it for sure. Clearly he doesn’t think him and Matt were a team the way he was throwing around the “I”s , “I did it all” Shocked Matt only got 2 votes and not even favorite houseguest. Cameron has been gone for 5 weeks. At least second place isn’t shabby with 75K
I loved watching John Travolta. I actually watched and sorry it wasnt longer.
FYI I tape everything to avoid commercials. I rarely watch live TV
10 – I don’t think Paul was spying on Alex, just Bradley. But other questions that came to me were did Paul say Hanover to Alex to see if she would react and how did no one figure out that he found out Bradley’s secret because of the hack? If Laura was able to figure it out from reading texts that were released, then anyone could.
14. Jag lost a lot of respect for me with that speech. It showed his true colors and I wished he lost. Own your game but you don’t need to be a jerk about it.
#4. That entire episode of WD was lame. I’ve surprisingly enjoyed the rest of it though.
#14 – I thought Jag came across horribly in his remarks and final speech. He willingly threw Matt under the bus multiple times and came across as a drunk with power jerk. I hope Matt and the rest of the cast make him aware of that miss; I figured only Cam and America would be on board with that.
To be fair on the Reindeer Games, Julie did say it was a different game from the team behind Big Brother. It isn’t really the same as another Big Brother season.
15) While I think becoming the Multiverse Yggdrasil may be the end of THIS Loki’s story, remember that he was just one variant out of an infinite number who are now running around on the various timelines.
7. Re “The Irrational”: I recently saw a syndicated rerun of the “Big Bang Theory” episode in which Penny fell in the shower. She called out for help, and Sheldon heard her clearly from his apartment across the hallway, on the other side of the stairway and elevator, despite the fact that her front door and bathroom door were both closed. “The Irrational” is a very different kind of show, but it has just about the same level of realism.
18) I kinda liked the Saturday Night Santa commercial. I think the cameo by Donna Pescow made me not care about how annoying John Travolta usually is.
9. No I was like “Couldn’t you pick someone more relevant and from this decade like Pedro Pascal!”
5. That’s the second or third time Family Guy did a flashback with Brian as a puppy with the Griffins. Maybe one of Stewie’s time travels created an alternate timeline.
15 – Loki’s not going anywhere. If anything this set him up to be in charge of making sure the entire MCU and the multiverse is intact and “Secret Wars” is about the multiverse war so he’ll be a huge part of that buildup and movie too. This also reminds me of years ago there was a theory Stan Lee himself was going to be a Creator/Author of the MCU type character but sadly never happened. Now it feels like this Loki is and like other gods, especially Odin and Zeus (the latter was in “Thor: Love and Thunder” to set up “Thor 5”) he should still be able to go to other places and he can do astral projection. Plus they keep teasing Loki and Thor are going to reunite in the future so it’s working to that too.
14) Diminished it! I can’t believe that Corey and America still voted for him after that Q&A. He was so arrogant and aggressive.
1. Definitely had that feeling, wouldn’t be surprised to see the “legacy” TV shows branded like that on Disney+ to show that they aren’t canon. Disney has previous for that sort of thing with the Star Wars Legends branding now applied to the old Expanded Universe stories.
14. Given the premise (players do not live together), Reindeer Games shouldn’t have any association with BB.
During the jury discussion, some said that Jag needs to own his actions.
He did just that with their questions.
Anyone else see Chef Gordon Ramsay sharpening the wrong side his knife on Hells Kitchen?
He was swiping away and glances down to see he is stroking the sharpener along the top of his knife instead of the blade (around 38 minutes into the episode).
More importantly, shame on him for sharpening over the food. Steal shavings could be harmful all along the digestion track.
What do you mean ‘The Good Lawyer’ isn’t happening? I saw Kennedy McMann in cute sweaters and now I want more
I don’t have any respect for Jag, Matt, & Bowie Jane because of the things they did and said on the live streams. I was disappointed when Matt won the Halloween game for money because they were already gonna win money let someone else have that at least. Matt & Jag only looked out for each other which means they would get $ regardless of who was 1st or 2nd place. She was blindly following them to the point she had no personal game & just did what they wanted. I wish there would’ve been a power to redo the whole game because it was boring, predictable, rigged, and disrespectful to fans and viewers.
I’m happy for Patrick Dempsey because he’s in Enchanted & I love that movie. He has a nice smile and beautiful eyes and I’m glad that they didn’t go with someone that is overhyped although I just finished reading the issue and the list is disappointing as always. It’s the same people over and over again and some aren’t even sexy, hot, or attractive. What kind of a category is ‘Sexiest Swifties’?? Why not feature attractive teachers, firefighters, policemen, paramedics, etc. I’m sure there are plenty of those.
I stop watching Big Brother just before the recrap episode airs. I don’t have any interest from that point forward. It seems to me to be way over-produced at that point.
I have never been interested in all of the remember when crap that went on during a season. Especially when that season, and in this case this season was so incredibly boring with boring competitions.
The finale questions always seem to be scripted and uninteresting, not coming from the jurors. Instead, coming from production.
Watching Cirie and Felicia lounge around in those robes all season long was thoroughly disgusting.
House guests need to get up, move around and do things. Not just sit their like a lump for the entire season.
They need to go back to the old format with tougher endurance competitions, and if that means that some of the house guests can’t keep up, so be it.
18: I like that commercial. So in answer to your question—– I do not find it disturbing.
What was wrong with the John Travolta commercial? I thought it was a funny spoof of the role that made him a superstar. This person probably hated the Bruce Willis Die Hard battery commercial also and any other spoof commercial. If you cannot make fun of yourself…
I actually liked Jag but I swear if I was on the jury I would have change my vote after that last speech. Came off way too cocky. I read an interview he did and he said he didn’t mean it that way and that he was just passionate. Maybe so, but it definitely came off as cocky. I think I heard one of the jurors say it was like a threat to vote for him.
