Glad The Last Of Us Spared Dog? Did Rehearsal Give You High Anxiety? Did Survivor 50 Need Fan Input? Vexing Organized Crime Absences? 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 The Last of Us, America's Got Talent, The Handmaid's Tale and more!
1 | Whoa, did Doctor Who not only have its Interstellar Song Contest episode air on the same day as the Eurovision Final, but also have an episode set on the eve of May 24, 2025 air on May 24, 2025?
2 | While we enjoyed the spectacle that was the final 10 minutes of this week's MobLand, why on Earth did the police allow Maeve and Conrad to finish singing the defiant "20 Men From Dublin Town" before taking them away in the squad cars?
3 | On The Last of Us, what was the point of Ellie's brief detour to Scar Island? (Other than to allow Tommy and Jesse time to catch up to her so conveniently quickly, in apparently very handy boats?) Game players, were you relieved when Alice's death wasn't part of the aquarium carnage in the season finale? And the show kinda has to find a way to bring back Pedro Pascal's Joel in Season 3, right?
4 | While watching The Rehearsal's season finale — even though you knew you probably would've heard about it if Nathan Fielder had crashed a plane full of passengers — were you still incredibly nervous as he attempted to land the plane?
5 | Was Mel B the only America's Got Talent judge who offered any actual criticism in the season premiere? And are you glad to have her back on the panel?
6 | In the Handmaid's Tale finale, although we were overjoyed that Janine was reunited with her daughter, Charlotte, wouldn't the little girl have been kinda traumatized by having to go live with someone she didn't know after being raised by Naomi Putnam for years? And while we loved seeing Emily again, didn't the way she described her long-distance relationship with her wife and son seem a little... bleak? Finally, of the characters that survived the series, who would you most like to see on the sequel series The Testaments — aside from Aunt Lydia, who is at the center of the spinoff?
7 | As TVLine reader P. Smith asks: How did the Chuck Lorre multi-cam Leanne wind up at Netflix and not CBS? After all, in addition to Lorre, you've got Kristen Johnston (Mom) and Ryan Stiles (Two and a Half Men) in the cast!
8 | At this point, if ABC renews Doctor Odyssey for Season 2, John Oliver has to come aboard as a Season 2 passenger... right?
9 | We know it traditionally premieres in September, but don't you wish Season 4 of The Morning Show was airing this summer instead? (Beyond The Gilded Age and binge drops The Bear and Squid Game, there are so few returning dramas over the next three months!)
10 | Survivor fans: Thoughts on the cast for Season 50? And considering that the season is "In the Hands of the Fans," would you have preferred the power to vote on who made the cut, a la Survivor: Cambodia — Second Chance?
11 | Given that Hamilton's 2016 Tonys performance was so memorable, what's your guess about what the cast will sing when they reunite at this year's ceremony?
12 | Why did Criminal Minds: Evolution cast the famously charming and vibrant Aimee Garcia as an oh-so-serious neurologist?
13 | Is one of Leverage: Redemption's quiet strengths its ability to mock up very real-looking fake websites to flash even for a second on-screen, complete with real body copy/no lazy Greeking?
14 | Seeing how outspoken the Hacks creators have been about having a five-season plan, were you surprised that Tuesday's renewal wasn't announced as a "final" season? And now that Deborah wants to rewrite her legacy, how do you think she'll attempt to revive her career in Season 5?
15 | On Law & Order: Organized Crime, where was Eli during his grandmother's health scare? Speaking of absences, is Bell still in Italy? And where the heck is Reyes?
