Did Emmys Make You Miss Ally McBeal? Why'd Fargo Forego Pandemic? Did RHOSLC Up Monica's Mystique? After Midnight Too Long? More TV 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 the Emmys, Fargo, The Traitors and Chicago Fire!
1 | Was Reservation Dogs standout Devery Jacobs oddly (and sadly) underused across five episodes of Echo? Especially given Bonnie and Maya's cousins/"sisters" bond built up in the childhood flashbacks?
2 | At the Critics Choice Awards, how did anyone in production think it was accurate to frame Broadway star.Tony Award nominee Ariana DeBose as one of the "actors who think they're singers"? And were you kinda glad that her face reflected that injustice when the camera cut to her?
3 | Were you surprised to hear E! Live From the Red Carpet host Laverne Cox reference the very quickly cancelled CBS legal drama Doubt — aka one of Shortest-Lived Shows of All Time! — while interviewing her former co-star Katherine Heigl?
4 | Did the Ally McBeal alumni slip so effortlessly and gleefully into their old personae at the Emmys that you're now clamoring for even the tiniest revival? (Where is that ABC sequel series, anyway?)
5 | True Detective: Night Country theorists, what do we make of the fact that — as spotted by the Prestige TV Podcast — the Jodie Foster movie A Very Long Engagement was among the Tsalal Station DVDs? Further proof that time is a flat circle?
6 | If this season of Fargo started around Halloween 2019, and the finale jumped forward to "one year later," why weren't people wearing masks and social-distancing in those scenes? And what's your take on that final scene between Dot and Ole Munch: unnecessary, or inspired?
7 | Were you surprised to see Bob Hearts Abishola star Billy Gardell make a cameo during the latest episode of Mike O'Malley's Extended Family? Or did the Yes, Dear connection dawn on you as soon as you saw him?
8 | On a scale of 1 to 
, what did you think of NCIS: Sydney's big twist with the pregnant lady? And how glad were you to see Georgina Haig (Fringe, Once Upon a Time) show up again?
9 | On The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, did the reveal of Monica's four different names only add to her villainous mystique, à la Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan?
10 | Did CBS make a mistake expanding After Midnight to a full hour? Wasn't part of the appeal of Comedy Central's @Midnight that it was a short, 30-minute watch before bed?
11 | What is La Brea's Ty using for money? (Wouldn't the other Ty walking around 2021 notice any bank withdrawals?) And if you also watched True Detective this week, did the mysterious symbol Scott found make you do a double take?
12 | Did your heart break at least a little bit when The Trust's Brian told host Brooke Baldwin that he didn't deserve the $30,000 he won in the Vault? And if you were Jay, would you have exited the game for a guaranteed $25K payout?
13 | Did the opening of Chicago Med's Season 9 premiere feel like the showrunners got a note to make it extra dynamic? Meanwhile, was Chicago Fire's season premiere opener more exposition-y than usual?
14 | On The CW's Wild Cards, when Max asked Cole if his cat was magic "like Sabrina's cat," do you think Riverdale alum Vanessa Morgan quietly wondered whether she was ever going to escape the Archie-verse?
15 | Since this week's Family Law Season 3 premiere brought up Abigail's living situation, we're going to ask again: Why can't Abigail just get her own apartment? (She's a lawyer, so it's not like she's struggling for money.)
16 | If Law & Order: Organized Crime's Jet got fentanyl poisoning from just a minute in the cab of the mobile lab, how did the drivers get the vehicle to the skins shop without dying? Hazmat suits?
17 | No shade to SVU's prop department, but that blonde doll in the Season 25 premiere really didn't look much like the missing girl, right? And, given how the teen hadn't been found by the end of the episode and there's a drug connection with the kidnapper, are you hoping that the show is laying the groundwork for an Organized Crime crossover later this season?
18 | On The Traitors, why didn't they tell us why Deontay had to leave the game early? And does Parvati need to work on her acting skills, since she looked so confused when Ekin-Su walked into breakfast?
19 | Were you surprised that Reacher didn't earmark any of the "found" $65 million for New Age's Marlo and her daughter?
20 | Does anyone else find it odd that promos for the Olympics, which is airing on NBC, heavily feature a Netflix character?
