TVLine Asks: Did Gates Slap Satisfy? Was The Pitt Trailer Just What The Doctor Ordered? 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 Alien: Earth, Beyond the Gates, Peacemaker, The Pitt, South Park and more!
1 | Watching the inaugural LEGO Masters Jr., did you kinda feel like it fell on first-time Brickmaster Boone to deliver the harsh-ish critiques of each young team's build? And did anyone else see the main ding against Zak and Ajay's build (the ginormous and unsightly zipline pillars) coming from a mile away?
2 | Maybe we're just nerds, but... was this The Quiz With Balls' easiest question ever?
3 | How was Alien: Earth's Morrow able to "locate" Slightly and communicate across an ocean with him? Did he, like, AirDrop his CV during their very brief meeting aboard the ship? And don't you kind of wish we got to actually see Wendy's bloody battle with the xenomorph, rather than just the aftermath?
4 | Though they were complete tonal opposites, after last week's And Just Like That... bathroom scene and this week's Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox toilet discovery, are you kind of sick of looking at TV turds?
5 | Beyond the Gates fans, how many times did you replay Anita slapping Leslie? Wasn't it the most satisfying daytime brawl since, well, Nicole choked out Leslie just last month?
6 | It's Always Sunny fans, were you surprised by how sentimental this week's episode got, both with Frank's earnest romance with Carol Kane's Sam and with the loving tribute to late cast member Lynne Marie Stewart, aka Charlie's mom?
7 | Could Countdown's "Todd" have been a teeeeensy bit more stealth about approaching his home with gun in hand, in broad daylight? Also, was it enough that the episode cut to black before "Todd" actually fired at his dog, or was just the idea plenty upsetting?
8 | Can we all agree that Platonic's golf ball to the eye deserves a spot at the tippity-top of TVLine's annual list of Scenes We Can't Unsee?
9 | When did South Park start fully animating its characters while running, instead of just having them hop around? Do you mean to tell us that these people have had knees this whole time? All these years?!
10 | In this era of prolonged hiatuses between TV seasons, is it nothing short of a miracle that we have our first trailer for The Pitt Season 2 just four months after the release of the Season 1 finale?
11 | Is A Man on the Inside becoming the new Only Murders in the Building, with a slew of Season 2 cast additions like Mary Steenburgen, Max Greenfield and Gary Cole?
12 | Whereas the Rick Flag Sr. that Frank Grillo voiced on Creature Commandos was at least a silver fox, are we buying his live-action Peacemaker incarnation as being father to The Suicide Squad's Joel Kinnaman? Also, was the deft Justice League/Gang switcheroo in the "Previously On" kinda brilliant, or just a cheat?
13 | Did the Project Runway contestants make a mistake by sending Jospeh McRae home instead of splitting up the twins? And what's your take: Did Jesus plagiarize Ethan's red stripe?
14 | Are any other Succession fans calling out sick on Thursday, Nov. 6, so they squeeze in the first four episodes of Sarah Snook's Peacock miniseries All Her Fault, and all four episodes of Matthew Macfadyen's Netflix miniseries Death by Lightning?
15 | Is Twisted Metal's Vermin a bit too over-the-top, even for the famously over-the-top videogame adaptation?
16 | Anyone else not surprised that the Big Brother Powers That Be cancelled Rylie's exit interviews? And who do you want to win the iconic wall comp?
