I know several people who've done the Camino, so it was interesting to see it.
I don't think it was filmed along the trial but definitely nice scenery.

Well, unless senior has another, older son, senior implies pretty strongly that he is Julian Sr. and Julian is Julian Jr. I can't think of other contexts where senior is used as a name, but I could be forgetting something.
I believe there is another brother. According to Wikipedia, the first name for the character Beau Bridges plays is "Howard." IMDb doesn't list his first name so I don't know where wikipedia got it but I'm assuming from an early press release.

I just saw an interview with Carol Leifer, who wrote the One Day episode last season. She used to write for Seinfeld in the early years, and is a more, shall we say, seasoned writer. She wasn't with Hacks this past season, and she mentioned having been 20 to 30 years older than all the other writers on Hacks. I think it's a shame all the writers are of a particular age group, because I'm really feeling a lack of a certain voice this season. I feel like I'm watching an entirely different, and much more immature, show.
I don't think it's maturity. Carol Leifer is 68. That'd mean the other writers she's talking about are close to 40 and 50 years old. I do think having a comedienne close to Deborah's age is a good voice to have in the writers room and maybe that's the voice that you're missing.

The problem with writing off Bobby and not killing him would mean that he's not around for major life events when you'd expect him to be around.
If Athena's ever in trouble or her life is hanging in the balance, we'd wonder where Bobby is. If something were to happen to May or Harry, where's Bobby?
Buck, Chim, Hen or Eddie? Where's Bobby.
Even if you could get Peter Krause to show up in a recurring capacity, there's a very good likelihood he wouldn't be available. He has been steadily working for decades and there's no small chance that he'll get booked on another project that'd make scheduling difficult.

Yes! I'm really surprised that it's taken this long to hire an associate who specializes only in religious/modest wedding gowns, particularly since NYC is the epicenter of Orthodox Jewish communities.
She said she had been there for 22 years. So she has been there, we just haven't either seen her before or much before. I seem to recall reading in this forum that they have a section for more religious brides so I've known about those dresses for a while.

I am pretty sure that she did mention all of those groups. Or am I imagining things?

Some posters speculated this could be a cost cutting decision. interesting to note that 911 got canceled from Fox because it was too expensive to produce. With broadcast continuing to decline, we could still be in that same boat.
ABC/Disney owns the show now once they bought 20th Century from FOX but eventually, it probably will be too expensive. He was the second highest paid in the cast.

I’ll be honest, I think Krause wanted out. He made some comments after the cruise ship arc wondering how much longer he could do the physical scenes and I think they’ve been working toward this for a while and Minear is just taking the heat.
I think he would have walked in a few seasons if the show didn't get cancelled but I don't think Peter planned to leave this season.
But as much as the show runner says it was a recentish decision, I do wonder if he wanted to do it last season but chickened out. The reason I wonder that is because the cruise ship three-parter focused on Bobby and Athena. Bobby had some nice moments with the 118 in the leadup to his heart attack which happened after he managed to save his wife from a fire. And that's something he hadn't been able to do in St. Paul which led him to LA.
It's odd because I actually do feel like death is a fitting end to his character arc. There's always been a sense of meloncholy with the character and I expected him to die knowing he found a purpose in life.
But I hated it for this season. I don't feel like his stories were as strong this season. And while they might make some interesting episodes until the end of the seasonm I don't trust that they'll be able to reimagine the show. I was expecting it to be a last season kind of thing.
I also don't think that when you brand yourself as the show that doesn't kill off characters that it's a smart idea to suddenly rebrand yourself in Season 8. The procedurals that have a lot of cast changes usually start earlier. I had stupidly hoped that this would be one of the shows that mostly kept the same cast, got too expensive and then got cancelled.

I'm disappointed Connelly allowed them to write Renee in as such a raging bitch at the jump.
I just watched the episode and I missed where she was a raging bitch. She was no more protective of her cases than Harry Bosch has been.
I am going to miss this show. I thought this was a good season. I wish they didn't cancel this show on a season whose season finale was basically a backdoor pilot.

I wouldn't mind having more Brady and Benson episodes. I like the chemistry and the balance Brady brings as she manages to tame Benson a bit :)
I was thinking the same. This felt too much like a 2-part SVU episode with some OG guest stars but I liked the chemistry between the actresses and characters.

The one thing I did like was the different approaches between Benson and Brady. It probably leaned a bit too much towards Benson but Benson's overly empathetic view was also proven wrong. It wasn't just Brady's more blunt approach stumbling.

it's funny because I've been seeing a lot of complaints that there were never any stakes with these near death experiences since this show doesn't kill anyone. Personally, that was always what I liked about the show.
Because otherwise? You get this. Someone should die is rarely as much fun in reality.
I've actually been spoiled about this probably happening for a few weeks. Some of the scenes that were in the promo for the episode in two weeks were seen being filmed outside a few weeks ago.
At the time, I thought it must be because Peter Krause wanted to leave. He had joked about wanting Bobby killed during the cruise ship disaster so I was at peace with it. Yet now it sounds like that might not have been the case and I'm not happy. I liked my cast full of plot armor individuals.
4 hours ago, iMonrey said:Nothing is going to convince me this wasn't a cost cutting measure. Peter Krause and Angela Bassett are likely the highest paid actors on the show and if they wrote off Athena we'd lose our one major police character.
I think this too. I think it might also be testing the NCIS/Grey's Anatomy staying power of the original by doing some major cast changes. I'm still 50/50 on whether or not Eddie returns to LA.
The thing about Angela is the EP title she gets for this isn't just a vanity title. She had a more active role in developing the show which is why she got credited as an EP on Lone Star and will likely get the same credit on Nashville. Peter also had that credit for 911 but he didn't get it from Lone Star.

I'm going a bit against the grain here that while I loved last week's episode, this week's fell flat for me. And even though it ended on some cliffhangers, I don't think there's any I'm truly interested in.
Alfie's dad? Well, I'd have to care about Alfie to care about his dad. While I don't hate the kid, I preferred the episodes where he didn't appear and don't need a story focused around him.
Julian stealing the document? I guess I wish there were a twist. He's been on the periphery for the whole season. I thought he'd have a larger role but he didn't. Even still I liked him and I hate that he did this for his dad. And whatever consequences he'd face. The only curious thing to me is Olympia being off the education account.
And I had a hard time believing the banker would just go "wanna see the safety deposit box?" when she had shown no interest in that. And she doesn't even have the key. Don't those boxes need two keys?
I also had a hard time believing Julian saved the document he pulled and kept it for 14 years. That's some Jane The Virgin telenovela crap which I dealt with when the show runner ran a telenovela but I have less patience for here.
And I did not like the judge telling Sarah that she had to argue the case because she took it and no one else from the firm could. That is not the way law works. No.
And finally, this felt padded with all of the unnecessary flashbacks that didn't really add anything to the narrative.

So Naomi's referring the case to someone else because she loves Bill and doesn't want to lose him from her life, after all, by facing him in court. Bill had to do a lot of digging and maneuvering to get her to finally admit that.
I really liked Naomi in the beginning but the past few weeks have made me think less of her. She agrees to take on the case for her clients, talks them out of a settlement (twice I think), one of which was actually a good one in my opinion, and now she's abandoning them because she think her dad might have a health issue?
Not impressed.
Martin might be in the right mindset but I get why Tyrell didn't want to listen to him. Martin sounded very judgey of his son. I kind of get why Smitty wanted to let Tyrell handle things, especially at that age.
Does anyone else think they wanted to do a sexting story but weren't allowed which is why we now have this blander underwear story?

I’m a bit confused about Peacock (with ads). Watched Wicked , there was something like 3 minutes of ads at the beginning, then it ran commercial free. But a few days later watched a way more obscure movie and there was an ad break seemingly every 5 minutes or so, which is majorly annoying.
No inside knowledge but I do recall there have been times when a certain product has 'sponsored' a movie to make it air relatively ad-free.
Since Wicked is such a new and popular movie that will likely have a lot of people watching it, a company that advertises might agree to pay more for one of those sponsorships giving their ads places of prominence.
For more obscure movies/TV shows, it falls under a more generic ad structure.

I chuckle every time I see the poker room, with three players at the table, the owner and pit boss/manager watching from six feet away and a bar that looks like it was a prize on The Price is Right in the 80s. It stands out even more against what overall is really good set design on this show.
The mistake is calling it a casino instead of an underground poker game. I'd easily believe a backroom environment for an underground poker game as opposed to a casino.

They should've found a seamstress who could listen to their ideas and whip up the perfect outfit that fit the bill.
I actually preferred the one top their friends thought was "matronly." I think that top with some tight white pants/jeans that got bedazzled would be a great gender neutral look for the reception.
But with respect to them not knowing what they wanted, I don't blame them. They want something uniquely custom and unless they find examples to show the staff, it's going to be the trial and error this appointment ended up being.
I'd love to see the final product.

Isn't the appeal of a murder mystery show having a mystery to solve?
"Who done it?" Is the most popular genre of mystery shows but there's also the "How done it?" and "How are they gonna get caught" subgenres.

Heh. I'm usually up on technical jargon but I don't think I'd ever heard "sending a pin" before.
It's something similar tot this. This is pretty generic.

It has always bothered me that we don't treat our expectations of people equally. If it is OK for Jake to blame Robbie, would it then have been equally OK for Robbie to blame Jake?
Robbie didn't blame Jake but Robbie did take out his anger on others. The mounting pressure of it being the anniversary of his mentor's death, the frustrating patients and the mass casualty event led to some unprofessional outbursts on Langdon and even Gloria.
I'm not sure what lesson Jake would be in the mindset to receive. His mother can make him apologize but it wouldn't be genuine or reflective at that time. Given the events of the day and his trauma, I think he can take a day or more before his mother discusses how he reacted in the immediate aftermath. Hell, give him a day or two and he might come to his own realization that he unfairly lashed out. That'd be far more effective than a tsk tsk.

Trauma doesn't go away after an hour. Robby's still dealing with his and lashing out five years later. I can see why Jake still didn't react well, especially since Robby said something that indicated he thought he could have saved her if there weren't so many other people. We know that's likely not the case but Jake doesn't. He also probably feels guilty since he's the one who got the tickets and brought her to the festival she wouldn't have been at if not for him.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly but I feel like all the big time obstacles to doing what they needed to do were white women. First it was with the dad with pneumonia and dementia. Then it was the mother of the son who had an overdose. And now the spinal tap woman.
It became a bit of a pattern.

Oh yeah - Eugene and Calliope, who I know many enjoyed, but I didn't.
I don't think current writers do comedy all that well but a few years ago I rewatched early Jack and Jennifer and I forgot how much any soap could make me laugh. The "Emilio acts as Jack's bodyguard" arc was especially funny to me.

S01.E18: Tricks of the Trade Parts 1 & 2
in Matlock (2024)
I don't remember them mentioning a brother either. However, in one of the post-season interviews with Jason Ritter, he said the following:
https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/matlocks-jason-ritter-talks-julians-finale-betrayal-teases-season-2/
I'll put the full quote of Jason's speculation about what comes next for Julian in spoiler tags but it's mostly just spec. The following part is stated as fact and not spec:
We got to meet his mother, which was very exciting for me. We may meet more members of his family. Julian is not Junior.
"We’re going to see a lot more of Julian and get to know not only him. We got to meet his mother, which was very exciting for me. We may meet more members of his family. Julian is not Junior. So I’m very excited to meet my brother,” Ritter explained. “He has a completely different relationship with our dad than Julian does, which is also painful.”
