TVLine Asks: Did Tracker Make Most Of Jensen Ackles? Does Abbott Elementary Firing Make Sense? Who Is The Bachelor? And More!
We've got questions, and maybe you've got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we're lobbing queries left and right about "Tracker," "Abbott Elementary," "Survivor," "All's Fair," "Yaga," and more!
1| "Criminal Minds: Evolution" enthusiasts: Got any wishlist items for the series' newly announced final season?
2| Did anyone else get tonal whiplash from the three cases on last Friday's "Boston Blue" — the reopening of a decade-old rape case, a domestic dispute between two older women, and a severed arm found inside a great white shark?
3| Did "Tracker" really bring back Jensen Ackles as Russell and not even bother to follow up on whatever he's been up to in Honduras? Given how infrequently he's available, shouldn't the writers be making every appearance count?
4| Broadway fans, following Heather Headley's triumphant appearance on "Dancing With the Stars," which of these two things are we manifesting: a revival of "Aida," or Headley's casting as Mother Gothel in the upcoming Broadway adaptation of "Tangled"? Heck, why not both? And how badly did you feel for that "Newsies" dancer who slipped and fell while front and center in the episode's opening number?
5| "FBI" fans: Any guesses as to how this Nina/Scola drama will shake out once Shantel VanSanten returns to the show?
6| We know this wasn't the point of the episode, but did this week's "Best Medicine" inadvertently make you wish that Heléne Yorke's character would stick around, chill out a little, and become a potential love interest for Martin?
7|On "Scrubs," did the writers forget that Sacred Heart already had a Coffee Bucks, which opened back in Season 6? Granted, its former location is now home to the Dr. Robert Kelso wing, but shouldn't someone have acknowledged the hospital's coffee shop history when Cassie proposed turning the chapel into one — or has that late-in-the-run development been retconned?
We'd like to know...
8| Can you imagine anything campier than Margo Martindale playing an Ina Garten-inspired character on "All's Fair"?
9| Seeing as "The Amazing Race" spouses Matt and Michelle have been frontrunners for the past couple weeks, was Michelle's reaction to the double U-Turn vote a bit over the top?
10| On"Abbott Elementary," does it kind of make sense that Dom got fired when you realize that actor Luke Tennie is also on "Shrinking" and "The Pitt" at the same time?
11| On "Survivor," do you anticipate that Mike will get the axe the first time he's not wearing the immunity necklace? And how much do we have to worry about Kristin's fate in this game? Now that the tribes are officially merged, is her threat level too high to survive?
12| "Chicago Fire" viewers, did it bother you at all that Cruz's exit from Firehouse 51 was essentially left for the last 10 minutes of Episode 300? Or did you find the approach to his farewell perfectly satisfying?
13| On"Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage," will Georgie and Mary's reconciliation — and Georgie's begrudging acceptance of his mom dating Fred Fagenbacher — actually last? And won't the writers eventually have to address the fact that Fred is trying to run Georgie and Ruben out of business, when Mary put her house up as collateral so they could buy McAllister Auto & Tire from Jim?
We're also wondering...
14| Now that he's done"SNL" and "Law & Order: SVU," do we think/hope Knicks captain Jalen Brunson has gotten the acting itch out of his system?
15| How confident are you that the final season of"Yellowjackets" will answer all of our outstanding questions about the twisty, supernatural-ish drama? And did the new trailer make you feel more hopeful of that, or less?
16| Now that Prime Video has announced that it will release "Off Campus" Season 2 in April, and HBO's "Heated Rivalry" reportedly is eyeing a similar window for the Season 2 premiere, might we be in for the sultriest, hockey-est spring on record?
17| "Yaga" fans: Were you, too, highly distracted by the prosthetic nose on Hudson Williams' Henry in that three-way flashback?
18| Bachelor Nation, is it a little strange that "The Bachelor" is retuning in March... and we still have no idea who the Bachelor will be?
19| In the wake of this week's sweeping midterm election results, do you kind of wish "SNL" had scheduled Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock to host this Saturday, instead of content creator Druski?
