Is Tracker Going Sci-Fi? Was DWTS Donkey Disturbing? Was Chicago Med Doc a Perfect Ken? How Touching Was Blue Bloods Gift? 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 Tracker, Elsbeth, NCIS, Shrinking and more!
1 | Was S.W.A.T.’s cold open pretty brilliant, the way that the chasing of the thieves revealed who all is on 20-Squad now, and the newer members’ abilities?

2 | Why didn’t Blue Bloods’ Danny or Baez take the shot once Amelia ran free of her father and away from the helicopter? ▼ Also, was Jamie giving his late brother’s car to Joe even more emotional a moment than #Jamko deciding to start a family?
1 | Given the vigorous stabbing that Sweetpea’s Rhiannon gave her second victim, isn’t it amazing that none of his blood got on her face or clothes?
4 | Considering the baggage (dismissed by a judge or not) that now comes with Alec Baldwin, was it pretty random for SNL to bring him back for a Brett Baier impression that he wasn’t terribly good at? And if you’re going to have Baldwin back in an episode hosted by Michael Keaton, how do you not do a Beetlejuice sketch? ▼ Or at the very least find a way to insert him into the monologue?
5 | Are we now to assume that Tracker‘s conspiracy involving Colter’s dead dad has something to do with unidentified aerial phenomena — what with the unnamed government official at the UAP landing site revealing to Russell that he knows of the late Ashton Shaw? And wouldn’t that make this otherwise run-of-the-mill procedural kinda… sorta… a sci-fi show?
6 | With the untimely demise of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’s Isabelle, did the franchise just tell us to quit holding out hope that the titular hero will ever find (and keep!) love?
7 | Superman & Lois/Arrowverse fans, were you completely thrown by the fact that Laara Sadiq, the actress playing Chrissy’s mom, was also on Arrow as a completely different character (Star City Mayor Emily Pollard)? ▼ Is this some “another Earth” thing?
8 | As obvious as it might’ve been to viewers of The Neighborhood that the hand sanitizer was to blame for Daphne crying, shouldn’t Tina have tried, you know… not yelling so much in earshot of her newborn granddaughter?
9 | On NCIS, did you have any doubt whatsoever that the person in the hoodie fighting Jessica in the garage would turn out to be Vance’s sorta-girlfriend Lena?
10 | As much as we liked Brilliant Minds’ quiet moment between Wolf and Nichols, did the latter really have to drag Wolf all the way out to a shooting range in the middle of a work day to demonstrate that weapon recoil might be responsible for their patient’s presumed concussion-related illness? Couldn’t Nichols just have, y’know, told Wolf?
11 | In a rough first week of Voice Battles cuts, which hurt more: Gwen Stefani eliminating Jaylen Dunham or Michael Bublé dropping Mark Shiiba?
12 | As satisfying as it was to see The Irrational have Karen David’s Rose let loose in a karaoke bar (as Matt’s Inside Line foretold), don’t you kinda wish Jesse L. Martin’s Alec had joined her onstage? Or was Alec’s tearful reaction to her rendition of “Someone to Watch Over Me” just as satisfying?
13 | Why didn’t Dancing With the Stars save Alan’s deeply disturbing Encanto donkey costume for next week’s “Halloween Nightmares” theme? ▼
14 | For all his complaining about not having a gun while on the run with the girl, couldn’t/shouldn’t FBI: International’s Wes have simply taken the pistol from the first hit man he knocked out?
15 | What was more egregious from this week’s Shrinking: The fact that Liz didn’t ask Sean before selling her share of the food truck, or Sean yelling “F–k you” at her once he learned the news?
16 | Why do Love Is Blind’s producers insist on starting scenes with couples midway through a fight, leaving us to piece together what the fight is even about? Can they invest in more cameras next season so we can get footage of when the fight actually started?
17 | Chicago Med viewers, do you wish the characters had stayed in their Halloween costumes for the entire episode? And was Luke Mitchell (aka Ripley) born to be a Ken? ▼
18 | Which Survivor player do you find to be more polarizing: the just-ousted Rome or Season 46’s Q?
19 | We understand that The Summit has a social/strategic component, too, but how could these people expect to complete their mission if they keep voting off strong climbers like Geoff and Robert? And are you surprised that the villainous Dennis keeps weaseling his way through every vote?
20 | Anyone else struggling to envision how the delightfully meandering Good Omens is going to be wrapped up in a single, 90-minute episode?
21 | Who was General Hospital torturing more with all those goodbyes, Sam fans or Kelly Monaco?
22 | Was Matlock’s Matty/Olympia victory jig one of the cutest things you saw on TV this week? ▼
23 | With multiple scenes in Georgie & Mandy Episode 2 set at George Sr.’s grave, were you half-expecting Young Sheldon’s Lance Barber to make a surprise cameo/Georgie’s dad to appear as a ghost?
24 | On Elsbeth, couldn’t have Rob Riggle’s character acted at least a little upset about the murder, just to throw the authorities off his trail? Did this week’s episode, far more than usual, completely telegraph how the killer would be found out? And was the flirtation between Elsbeth and fire marshal Jake legitimately hot (no pun intended)? ▼
25 | When SVU’s Carisi handed stepdaughter Jesse her first cell phone at the start of this week’s episode, right after we saw some teens texting about wanting to have sex, didn’t you worry that she’d somehow be wrapped up in the Case of the Week?
26 | How many Grey’s Anatomy viewers cringed when Blue struggled while drilling into a patient’s bone, and Bailey said, “Nah, let him try again”? Is the show really going to make us wait another whole season to go there with Amelia and Monica? And didn’t you feel Mika’s absence from Thursday’s episode more keenly than you ever do Meredith’s?
27 | Did any other old-school Atari 2600 fans watching Ghosts appreciate Jay’s Adventure dragon tee? ▼
28 | The next time 9-1-1′s Hen and Karen decide to have an important talk about spending more time together as a family, can they wash their Wizard of Oz makeup off first so we can actually take them seriously? ▼
29 | After seeing Richard Hatch’s far-too-early elimination on House of Villains, what show do you think he should hit next? And do you want to see him on Survivor 50 (regardless of how unlikely that may be)?
