Was Suits LA Overstuffed? Did You Catch White Lotus Cameo? Will Trent Has Vanderpump Fan? Is Andor Plan Exhausting? Daddy Pig MIA?! 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 Suits LA, The White Lotus, Andor, SVU and more!
1 | What are the odds that NCIS: Sydney and Elsbeth last week both had cases solved by cat hair? And is anyone else downright coveting J.D.'s "hi-vis performance vest"? ▼
2 | Shouldn't Fire Country have made Bode and Jake's jackets a lot dustier — meaning, dusty at all — after they survived that second rockslide? And is it really Manny's place to teach another man's kid to take out his frustrations by hitting things?
3 | Now that Amazon has control of the James Bond franchise, what do you anticipate on the TV front — M: The Origin of 007's Boss? Young Bond? And do dads dare hope for a James Bond/Jack Reacher/Alex Cross/Jack Ryan team-up miniseries on Prime Video?
4 | Was Kristen Bell's "Do You Wanna Be an Actor?" musical opening to the SAG Awards incredibly charming? ▼ Was it conspicuous that the director didn't cut to Zoe Saldana and the Emilia Pérez table when Karla Sofía Gascón's name was read as a Lead Actress nominee? (Did they clap, or not?) If they had expanded the Law & Order bit to also include NCIS-verse guest stars, would everyone in that ballroom have raised their hand? And who else Googled "sag awards trophy weight" after the 11teenth comment by a winner? (Answer: 12 lbs.!)
5 | Any other 1923 viewers hoping that the Donald Whitfield scenes in the Season 2 premiere ultimately serve a greater plot purpose than just illustrating what a masochist/misogynist he is?
6 | Did the Suits LA series premiere have one (or two) too many storylines and characters?
7 | The White Lotus fans, didn't it look like Valentin the spa dude was intentionally distracting Gaitok at the security gate so the jewel thieves could get inside? And did you recognize Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan as the voice of Kenny, Timothy's panicked business associate on the phone? ▼
8 | We get that Disney+ wants to get all 12 episodes of Andor Season 2 out in time for Emmy eligibility, but isn't three hours a week for four weeks a lot of Star Wars?
9 | Was The Bachelor's Litia revealing she's Mormon some kind of stealth synergy marketing for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which airs right after The Bachelor? And were you surprised that this season's resident drama queen Carolina didn't even merit a "let me walk you out" goodbye after getting cut?
10 | On The Neighborhood, did Dave's pronunciation of "ice cream" (emphasis on the word "cream") give off serious Schmidt-from-New Girl vibes?
11 | Just for fun, should NCIS have used a photo of T.J. Thyne's Bones leading lady, Michaela Conlin, for Voss' girlfriend?
12 | On Paradise, during the big evacuation, shouldn't they have spread the Supreme Court justices, Department of Defense officials and members of Congress out on more than one plane?
13 | Did you think Parvati's apology to Phillip on Deal or No Deal Island was sincere? And will the two former friends patch things up by season's end?
14 | Will Trent fans, what was less believable: That Ormewood is a Vanderpump Rules fan, or that he was beside himself when Ariana Madix came in third place on Dancing With the Stars? ▼
15 | Was The Rookie's Seth, the flaky boot, really Sgt. Gray's best option for being in charge of liaising with FEMA, NWS and LAFD? And would Liam's wife really talk about "all the bodies" he is responsible for in front of their wee son? #ChildTherapy!
16 | Shifting Gears is clearly planning to pair Matt and Eve sometime in the not-so-distant future... but do Tim Allen and Jenna Elfman actually have any chemistry? ▼ Or does it just feel like they went with the biggest name/most familiar sitcom face possible for the role of Riley's boss?
17 | On Chicago P.D., how did Cronin manage to hang himself after having a pretty intense surgery?
18 | Are we really supposed to believe that The Bold and the Beautiful's Steffy — born rich and a fashion-dynasty exec for most of her life — does her own laundry? ▼ Isn't that even more farfetched than her husband being related to not one murderer but two?
19 | Was Jordana Brewster so effectively alluring on Elsbeth that you hope a high-powered defense attorney does get her out of trouble? Conversely, was the aggressively gross, mansplaining Detective Rivers too cartoonish even for this quirky show? And did you appreciate this week's twist on the usual "Elsbeth knows who the murderer is" formula?
20 | As happy as we are that Peppa Pig's family is expanding, why was Mummy Pig solo for the big televised announcement? ▼ What was keeping Daddy Pig so busy that he couldn't join his wife for the broadcast? Does the family not have a Publicist Pig to consider these optics?
21 | On Law & Order: SVU, how did the expensive bottle of Shiraz not shatter when the suspect threw it up on the marquee? Even though it would've been really odd to have Crazy Ex-Girlfriend alum Donna Lynne Champlin break into song during her Broadway-centric episode... are you kinda surprised the show didn't find a way to make it happen?
22 | Should Georgie & Mandy have included audience laughter (which got removed in post production) or incidental music (as was used on Young Sheldon) during Georgie's dreams about his late father? Or do you agree with series co-creator Steve Holland, who told TVLine that they thought it was more "surreal" and "other worldly" without either of those things? And admit it: This jump scare totally scared the bejeezus out of you, right? ▼
23 | Did Severance's deep dive this week on Gemma/Ms. Casey serve up big-time Dollhouse vibes, especially given the Dichen Lachman of it all?
