Did Handmaid's Tale's Janine Make You Proud? Andor Sitcom Spinoff? Did Hacks Melt Your Heart? Did NCIS: Origins Affair Surprise? 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 The Handmaid's Tale, Andor, NCIS: Origins, Good American Family and more!
1 | Were you happy that Mythic Quest retconned Ian and Poppy's kiss now that it's been cancelled, or were you into the idea of the characters hooking up?
2 | On Fire Country, did the exterior of Jake and Bode's place not match what you had pictured in your mind all this time? And who wrote this chyron/apparently failed English? ▼
3 | In the NCIS: Sydney cold open last week, was that gunny being a bit optimistic telling his friend who just been blown up by a grenade, "You're gonna be OK!"?
4 | Does The Last of Us' Abby know that her father was going to kill Joel's "daughter"? And while we respect that the show stayed close to the game regarding how beat-up Joel's face was right before he died, wouldn't it have been nice (read: even harder to watch) to see Pedro Pascal's expression as Bella Ramsey's Ellie entered the room?
5 | Suits/LA viewers, the name of Harvey and Donna's son has to be Mike, right?
6 | On Dark Winds, does Dr. Reynolds' hooded get-up give you I Know What You Did Last Summer vibes? Speaking of the evil archeologist, does Chee need to spend a lot more time at the shooting range, after squeezing off so many missed bullets? Lastly, does Chief Henry's "drink the Kool-Aid" dig at Ivan — a term most associated with the November 1978 Jonestown mass suicide — mean that the series is on the verge of entering the 1980s? And yet... a news broadcast in the season opener, about Jane Fonda in Vietnam, put us in summer 1972?
7 | As fun as it was to see the NCIS agents get into a pair of slugfests, wasn't that really a situation where a REACT team would assist, knowing there are so many armed heavies aboard the ship?
8 | On NCIS: Origins, how surprised were you to realize who Wheeler's affair was with? Or was his "Oakley's my guy!" the week prior the subtlest of hints?
9 | Provided that they all survive Andor Season 2, would anyone else be 100% open to a three-camera Star Wars sitcom about Eedy moving in with Syril and Dedra? Did you recognize the catchy techno-bop from Season 1's "Niamos" episode playing at Leida's wedding reception? And did any FBI: International fans catch Eva Jane Willis airing "opposite herself" in the Andor premiere? ▼
10 | Were you proud of FBI: International's Wes for not falling for his father's bulls–t? That said, do you think Wes is at all curious to meet the sister he just learned of?
11 | Any other Handmaid's Tale fans feel super proud of Janine when she announced that she would stay at Jezebel's so the attack could continue as planned? Our girl has grown up!
12 | On The Rookie, given that Tim and Lucy's truth serum dosing happened some time ago, was she lying when she recently said she still hadn't forgiven him? Or had she simply not realized that, deep down, she had?
13 | Are you finding that Good American Family's soundtrack selections — Robyn's "Dancing On My Own," Rihanna's "Stay," and now Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" — have been totally jarring and ill-fitting for the scenes in which they're used?
14 | On The Conners, if the flashbacks at the end were meant to represent Dan's memories from the past 35+ years, why did they include scenes from Roseanne that he was not in? And didn't it seem odd that Harris' newly introduced boyfriend got to be in the very last scene with everyone — especially after her brother Mark was written out an episode early?
15 | Any other Chicago Fire fans getting impatient for Carver's "surprise"? And where is Novak going to live when Ritter leaves the show?
16 | Even though Survivor's David had many correct reads on what his alliance-mates were up to, were you rooting for him to stay or go? And now that the contestants have been whittled down to just eight, who are you rooting for to win it all?
17 | Who was a better young Michael Emerson: Ethan Dubin as Elsbeth's young Milton Crawford, or Sterling Beaumon as Lost's young Ben Linus? ▼
18 | What tugged on your heartstrings more: Seeing the incredible Carol Burnett pop up in a Hacks cameo, or learning that Deborah still harbored some soft feelings for Ava deep down?
19 | On Law & Order: Organized Crime, didn't the notoriously slow-moving Internal Affairs Bureau clear Stabler — whose file, it has been mentioned, is incredibly thick — surprisingly quickly in this week's episode?
20 | Won't it be awkward when Walton Goggins hosts SNL next month, after the show did that "mean and unfunny" impression of his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood?
