Felicity Déjà Vu on The Diplomat? New Romance Brewing on Superman? Did Will Trent Make You Gasp? 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 lotsa shows including The Diplomat, Will Trent, Barry, Superman & Lois and Citadel!
1 | With Felicity vet Keri Russell wrapped up in another buzzy love triangle, this time on Netflix’s The Diplomat, we gotta ask: Are you Team Dennison or Team Hal?
2 | How happy were you that the ridiculous fight/”break-up” between Fire Country‘s Bode and Freddy was staged?
3 | 
Barry fans, did you recognize Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro as the hitman handler known as “Toro”? And did it kind of break your heart to see Barry and Hank fighting like that?
4 | On Succession, did a pregnant Shiv really snort cocaine with Matsson and sip Champagne with her brothers, or was she faking for their benefit (and to keep her condition a secret)? And are you relieved to see that Sarah Snook will compete in the Emmys’ lead actress category, giving Better Call Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn better odds at winning in the supporting race?
5 | Didn’t Sam’s “teeny ‘tini” jingle in the Somebody Somewhere premiere make you want to slam some cocktails with Sam and Joel?
6 | How is Family Guy going to pretend like Peter doesn’t know what a night watchman is when we all remember his short-lived gig as the overnight security guard for George Harrison?
7 | When NCIS: Los Angeles‘ Densi shared a sweet moment that Deeks said felt like “10 years ago,” wouldn’t you have liked a flashback to Season 3 or so? Or is the show saving those for the series finale?
8 | C’mon now: Does The Blacklist really expect us to believe that Reddington and the Task Force won’t find a way to keep working together, even after their quasi-breakup in this week’s episode? And how shocked — or perhaps pleasantly surprised — were you by Wujing dying already, with more than half of the season still remaining?
9 | Did Ride miss an opportunity to do an “It’s pouring rain, so we have to pull over and check into a motel” storyline with Cash and Missy?
10 | 
What was worse, Days of Our Lives fans — the atrocious green-screen effects that accompanied Bo and Hope’s clifftop confrontation or the flashbacks that reminded us of times when the show had a bigger budget and better writing?
11 | Does the WWE World Heavyweight Championship reveal on Monday Night Raw feel like a consolation prize after Cody Rhodes’ deflating WrestleMania loss?
12 | Was Superman & Lois‘ Onomatopoeia reveal a touch underwhelming, since the masked villain’s gender and slim body type had greatly narrowed the list of suspects? And is the show casually flirting with the idea of a Sarah/Jonathan romance? If so, how do we feel about that?
13 | How loudly did you gasp when Will Trent‘s Amanda revealed to Will who his mother was?
14 | On A Million Little Things, as touching as it was for Gary’s friends to go to the airport (all in separate cars!) to see him off to Mexico, wouldn’t a group goodbye at the house have been way less hectic and rushed?
15 | Even though Jeff Probst does an exceptional job commentating Survivor challenges, if you were a contestant, wouldn’t you find him just a bit annoying (especially during endurance challenges that require heaps of concentration)?
16 | 
On Ted Lasso, did you notice how excited Roy looked when he thought Jamie’s penis was potentially ripped from his body — and how bummed he looked once he realized Jamie’s penis was OK? Does Charlie Hiscock deserve some sort of award for Will’s uncanny impression of Coach Beard? And TVLine reader Eric asks: Throughout the episode, they kept referring to the fourth rule of total football, without revealing what it was. Was that a nod to whether or not we’re getting a fourth season?
17 | On Farmer Wants a Wife, wasn’t Meghan’s return directed like the heart-swelling third act of a rom-com? Did you half expect Hunter’s other gals to grab their bags and leave?
18 | After watching NBC’s Carol Burnett birthday special, we must ask: Can Carol and longtime BFF Julie Andrews get together for a fourth TV special?
19 | 
For Bloodwork’s big return (to conquer the multiverse, no less!), The Flash couldn’t put the Big Bad in anything more menacing than a henley? During the climactic battle, shouldn’t Oliver have bellowed, “Ramsey Rosso, you have failed this multiverse!”? And we get that scheduling issues prevented it, but wasn’t it weird that Joe wasn’t at Barry’s birthday party?
20 | In Bel-Air‘s Season 2 finale, why did Phil agree to have dinner with Erika after she kissed him? Does he really think he can “handle” her, as he told Geoffrey?
21 | Does Sweet Tooth‘s Bobby make anyone else want a pet groundhog? And how much did you cringe when the oh-so-young Becky didn’t know what a cassette was?
22 | Are you relieved Ghosts is no longer trying to make Hetty and Trevor into an actual couple? And are you hoping to see more of Stephanie and teenage basement dweller Ralph (played by Tyler Alvarez)?
23 | Good Trouble fans, are you a little shocked to discover that Jack Coleman (who is 65) is actually old enough to play Dennis’ father? How odd did it feel to be watching a Thanksgiving episode in April? And are you enjoying the occasional double doses of Beau Mirchoff, between his Good Trouble appearances and his series-regular role on Hallmark’s Ride?
24 | Between Bodyguard and now Citadel, we gotta ask: What’s up with Richard Madden and intense train rides?
25 | What’s the over/under on whether FX is going to use Taylor Swift’s “Delicate” in promos for American Horror Story: Delicate?
26 | Regarding the Late Late Show finale: How much do you think it stung James Corden when his very last guest, Will Ferrell, admitted that his favorite late-night host is… time slot competitor Seth Meyers? Was Corden actually playing the piano at the end? (Curiously, he we never shot from the back!) And now that David Letterman has appeared on The Late Late Show — his first appearance on CBS’ late-night lineup since handing The Late Show to Stephen Colbert in 2015 — what’s it going to take for Colbert to book him?
Hit the comments with your answers — and any other Qs you care to share!

God yes, please let this happen!!!
Yes yes yes
Please, please, please!
13 – I mean did you not KNOW before she revealed it to will? I knew almost immediately when the case got reset and they were talking about it.
12. Onomatopoeia, we all knew it was a character we had seen and there was only really 2 viable candidates. The reveal worked for me. Going to be a huge blow to Lois as it’s somebody that understands completely what she’s going through and Lois is building a bond with. Unfortunately that person also just tried to kill Lois’s husband. It’s also a dilemma for Clark, he’s had a deep conversation with her at the hospital but also we know Clark’s biggest fear is loosing Lois or the boys so it humaises Bruno and creates a link between them. Creates so much more complexity to the antagonists and makes for a better story. As for the teens and their relationships, I really couldn’t care, that’s for another audience group but not for me.
10 – Days is just so embarrassingly BAD!!!! The acting, the storylines. It’s just terrible. I know it’s daytime, but once upon a time – years & years ago – Days was actually decent. I always say that once they did the storyline with Marlena being possessed, the show really went downhill. GH & probably Y&R are the only daytime shows with good acting & storylines. The others are a joke. And I wish Steve Burton could come back to GH so he could show they he’s a decent actor again!
Ron Hackivati….I mean Carlivati……ruins every show he touches. And of course, no one can tell him otherwise. Networks seem to think he’s the Orson Welles of daytime. *shrugs*
That Emperor has no clothes. Reron has blocked me on Twitter because he’s thin-skinned and can’t take any sort of criticism.
Completely agree. Days was my late mom’s must-watch soap. Since it’s on Peacock I decided to take a look and could barely get through 2 episodes. The stories were boring and lame, and the actors don’t even seem to be trying. I don’t know if they’re still burning off the episodes intended for network television but streaming actually gives them an opportunity to think outside the box, but they keep trying to relive their 80s glory days by bringing back old characters.
Put Jonathan with Denise and call it a day. 🤓
Not remotely interested in Sarah dating twins so pass on putting her with Jonathan.
Also, are going to see Clark care about Jonathan ever again? He only seems to make time for Lois and Jordan.
The girl that left Jonathan, Candice right ? Seems like they are trying to pair him up with Sarah and only had her move far away conveniently to do that scenario. Clark never has time for Jonathan .
25) Ryan Murphy has never met an overplayed pop hit that he couldn’t awkwardly shoehorn into a show. I’d say it’s all but guaranteed.
*Chef’s kiss* for this comment!
👨🍳 🤌
3) I was a little unsure at first glance just because I was so surprised but as soon as I heard the voice I knew.
4) I think they kept it ambiguous on purpose to make you think she might have miscarried after her fall. I don’t remember seeing her do any coke but I do remember a sip of whiskey (which could have been a fake sip).
right re: 4. she just held the vial but then set it back down, I think intentionally after enough time had passed that he had forgotten about it.
26. No, not surprised by Will Ferrell’s answer since the question was, “Now that The Late Late Show is over, who is your favorite late night host?”
And Corden can play piano very well…he played with Coldplay once when they were on his show.
Thank you for saying these things so I didn’t have to.
Yeah, I didn’t think Corden was looking for himself as the answer, and Ferrell picking Seth wasn’t surprising since they both come from SNL (as does Jimmy Fallon, but he wasn’t a head writer on SNL)
It’s still kind of weird, though, since Ferrell was castmates with Fallon for Fallon’s entire stint on the show, while he only overlapped with Meyers for two seasons at the end of Ferrell’s run (and Meyers was just a featured player those two seasons).
4) In this family, why is that even remotrly surprising?
15. I’m surprised a contestant hasn’t thrown some sort of object at Probst when he reminds him or her that he or she is in last place. I would pay good money to see that.
Same!
11) I don’t think that the title is made for Cody but for Rollins I mean he was the one who spoke about it the night of the anouncement (and we can’t say that it was because Cody is in his feud with Lesnar because we all saw that Rollins was called by MVP and Omos after his saying about the new title)
I’ve had the teeny tini jingle in my head all week!
22 | Yes to 1st part – love both characters – but they need to be separate. Yes to 2nd part – I find the character Stephanie to be annoying, I want to know more about all the basement dwellers – I think there could be several episodes of good comedy content from them, hoping they will be more integrated into season 3.
My mom read all the Will Trent books so I knew as soon as the episode started. Plus, they made it very obvious with Evelyn telling Amanda she needed to tell Will.
Corden was never as funny as Craig Ferguson and I never understood why CBS promoted his show much more then Craig’s show
Corden’s personality seems much more mainstream. Appeals to people who like daytime talk shows.
13: I already put that puzzle together and the pregnancy reveal confirmed it.
The episode of Will Trent is very very loosely based off of my favorite book in the series. Evelyn and Amanda are so awesome and the book focusing on them is perfection.
I really tried to separate the two because the show is good for what it is as long as you either don’t read the series or you’re capable of separating them. I’m just blown away by how much worse the “twists” are.
I was genuinely surprised by the reveal but only because I hoped it would go along with the book because it is so freaking good.
8. Maybe Wujing isn’t really dead. Sure, he got a bullethole in the middle of his forehead but some of Red’s medical specialists could fix him up I betcha. I mean the series has had its share of “is he or she dead or not” plot devices enough to last us a few years.
22 – Not *really*. I’d like to see them as a couple eventually, but right they’re more fun when they’re just having a lot of sex
9. No, because it’s Hallmark and nothing sexy would have happened anyway!
.
10. Reckell and Alfonso didn’t deserve a better budget. Long past time to permanently retire their characters.
.
13. Will Trent breaks my heart every week but this episode’s revelation about his mother was particularly hard hitting.
15- I find Probst play by play commentary super annoying and I’m well fed and watching from my most comfortable chair. :-)
Me too!
Same. We are watching them! I don’t need a him yelling a second by second play by play. I want to scream thru the TV at him. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to keep your concentration in person. I would love for a player to scream at him to shut the F up one day.
10) Haven’t watched Days since the devil returned to torment the 3 “dead” ladies. From the recaps, I haven’t missed much. I’ll tune in for sure in the fall to see what Dick Van Dyke is up to on the show.
6 | While yes Peter Griffin was once a security guard for George Harrison (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_oVxmyE52c), he is also proven himself to be very dumb so he probably forgot.
The Family Guy Harrison reference was based on a real life incident where George Harrison was attacked in his own home.
#22 – No, I don’t like the character of Stephanie, and hope I only have to endure her once a season (when she wakes from her year-long slumbers). GHOSTS is my favorite show, and this week’s episode was among my least favorites of the season (mostly due to Stephanie’s meanness and the naive characters who constantly let her manipulate them).
I completely agree! Ghosts is my favorite show too, but I have hated both Stephanie episodes…one episode with her per season is more than enough. And, I really have no interest in ever seeing Ralph again. Nancy is fine in small doses, but when we met Ralph this week it was just a yawn.
I do love the twist with Hettie & Trevor’s story this week, though.
26) Did anyone look at the graphic of Rufus Sewell and Tyler Hoechlin on the home page and think they could play father/son with their resemblance?
*oops 27)
