Was FBI Agent Reckless? Is New NBC Drama Giving PLL? Did Grammys' Doechii Conjure Harry Potter? Who Covets Severance Parka? More 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 Severance, FBI: International, The Way Home, the Grammys and more!
1 | In Fire Country's winter premiere, what was Bode's plan if he and Audrey weren't saved by the water drop...? On the flip side, do you give the show points for acknowledging that the deck of the pool would have been red-hot after? And what was with that prolonged look Jake gave Vince and Sharon at the end?
2 | Why do the S.W.A.T. team members announce "one suspect down," when the person was literally just shooting at them? Seems like their "suspect" status would be over!
3 | Prior to this past week's Happy's Place, which saw Gabby bring an AI baby to work, had you forgotten that she was determined to have a child — what with how long it has been since she first floated the idea of becoming a mother?
4 | On The Way Home, doesn't Alice's boyfriend Noah look more like her dad Brady than the actor who actually plays Young Brady?
5 | Any other theater nerds get Harry Potter and the Cursed Child vibes from Doechii's Grammys performance? ▼
6 | For those who watched the Christopher Reeve documentary Super/Man on CNN, which part made you cry the most?
7 | Is CBS' promo department trying to make Watson's "Solve the puzzle, save the patient" the new "Save the cheerleader, saved the world"?
8 | Did you ever think you'd see The Neighborhood guest star Erinn Hayes back on CBS in the Mondays-at-8 time slot? ▼
9 | Did Poppa's House's In Living Color and New Girl reunions (between Damon Wayans Sr. and Tommy Davidson, and Damon Wayans Jr. and Lamorne Morris) just make you wish you were watching episodes of those vastly superior shows?
10 | When NCIS' Jimmy argued to Jess, "Have you seen Nick and Robin together?," were you like, "I for one haven't, because those two characters have yet to share a scene"?
11 | If NCIS: Origins had given us a full episode of flashbacks for Kowalski, would that have been an origin story bridge too far? And based on Ebert's Law of Economy of Characters, did you figure the thief was either the conspicuously re-introduced Roger or "Dalton Basement"?
12 | On The Voice, was Dan Kiernan really going to pick anyone other than Kelsea Ballerini, after she made a show of using her Coach Replay on him?
13 | If you weren't already getting Pretty Little Liars vibes from NBC's Grosse Pointe Garden Society... how about now? ▼
14 | Did you appreciate that in the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer, Ben Grimm — played by The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach — is first seen evaluating someone's cooking?
15 | If Will Trent's Amanda and Evelyn were contemporaries who came up in APD together, why did Evelyn, upon LisaGay Hamilton's return this week, suddenly seem so much older than her longtime friend/former colleague?
16 | On Paradise, we understand the concept of hiding in plain sight, but couldn't Billy, Robinson and Sinatra have had their highly sensitive conversation in a slightly less public place than the middle of the annual carnival? Are we to believe that when the architects of Paradise hand-picked the last 25,000 Americans to survive... whatever... someone was like, "Better make sure we have a dozen or so carnies to operate rides"? And did this week's closing twist shock you, or was that killer reveal the only possible "shocking" option?
17 | On Deal or No Deal Island, were you laughing hysterically or cringing beyond belief at Dr. Will's case-opening strategy? And does the Big Brother legend stand any chance in hell at making it to the end of the game?
18 | Did we miss it, or did FBI not explain why Scola was MIA this week...?
19 | On FBI: International, couldn't they have bought Yulia a messenger bag or something to slip her super conspicuous aluminum "composite" briefcase into? Also, does Smitty realize that accidentally bumping into someone would have cracked one of the deadly vials taped to her stomach? ▼
20 | Where was Dr. Frost during this week's Chicago Med? Shouldn't he have been handling the pediatric case? Does it kind of blow your mind that Natalie Zea is just casually recurring on the show? Did you catch that Zea's real-life husband, Travis Schuldt, was playing her ex? And why did NBC not make more of a fuss about CCH Pounder guest-starring?
21 | Chicago Fire's Carver was totally turned on when he saw Violet slide down the ladder, yes?
22 | Are you at least a little bummed that we've been robbed of potential drama by Beth and Jonna's Challenge All Stars elimination? And now that Adam and Steve have a couple wins under their belts, do you think they'll be able to rekindle their friendship?
23 | Can The Flip Off somehow bring back Tarek and Christina's moms as judges every week?
24 | Now that Boston Rob has been banished from The Traitors, did he make a huge mistake by taking out Bob the Drag Queen too soon? And what are the chances that Danielle and Carolyn will now be able to rebuild trust and work together?
25 | On Severance — a $20 million-per-episode show — didn't the CGI of Irving scampering across the frozen lake look petty janky? What was powering the TV stand atop the cliff face? And are those cool-looking tents sold online anywhere? Do you covet them more than Milchick's snowy fit?
26 | When Jeremy Strong read the script for this Dunkin Donuts commercial, did he think it made sense dramaturgically?
