I think the swarms of secret service agents running toward her, along with being visually arresting, are there to protect MVP so she can be sworn in right away. I'm pretty sure you have to be sworn in. (I also seem to recall that if the president is incapacitated, the VP is acting president. This has been a plot point on other TV shows, and I seem to recall that Kamala was acting president when Joe Biden was put under anesthesia this year. Who also remembers Alexander Haig screaming "I'm in charge!" After Reagan was shot?)

Well, President Johnson wasn't sworn in by a Supreme Court Justice after Kennedy's assassination, but a local Federal judge. Since there are no US federal judges in England, I assume they'd have some sort of backup plan.

As child actors hit adolescence, that may be the time they start wanting to experience a life outside of a TV show. The short-lived recasting of Harry doesn't seem to have worked out and they've said that the original actor doesn't want to return. If Gavin's family feels that it's best for him to live in another place and not return to the show, then the show should find a believable way to work around it. Though they really have built up Eddie's parents as terrible people.

So what happens when the VP is abroad and the president dies? Must they be sworn in by a US justice, or can that be done by, say, an ambassador? Wacky hijinx ensue. Also, will NuPrez Cregg still have "regulatory issues" with her husband? Or can she make that all go away, like she made a sovereign Nation attack its own military? And she likely has to name a new vice president fast, as the current next in line when there is no vice president is the speaker of the house. As far as I'm concerned, Hal is still the idiot who set this all in motion. He knows perfectly well that his wife is an almost feral, Ambassador-adjacent, analyst and policy wonk, and not an actual political candidate. Just to clarify, I'm not complaining. This is a fun show.

Eddie's parents have been awful since they first introduced them. They've been trying to get him to give up Christopher for years. They hated Shannon, and are probably glad she's dead. So it seems like they're absolutely willing to throw away their own son, to get their claws into their grandson. But Eddie is such a wuss, that he won't fight for the person he loves most in the world. Instead, he'll consider a move back to El paso, where he will be under his parents thumbs again. Wasn't there a medical procedural on a couple years ago said in El Paso? It had doctors and EMTs. Brad can go away now. But I'll admit to enjoying the scene where the guys from the 118 were playing doctors in the show within a show within a show. There seemed to be something wrong with the cart crusader. They didn't actually say so, but he seemed a little unbalanced. And God bless Athena for making it quite clear that he was a guy who should never, ever become a cop. And while they aren't saying so, the subtext of the Bobby / Brad relationship is that Bobby is the top, and Brad is the bottom.

This show is refreshingly good about friendships between people of every kind. What makes it work, for me, is that the core group is basically an extended family and no one questions whether people deserve to be members of it.

Yes, though now most of these projects have turned private, and are out of the reach of middle class families.

This is definitely not a "ripped from the headlines" show. And I love it that way. And for those who are serious detail watchers, the actor who played the French chef in a video was the same one who played the Italian opera singer in a video in an episode earlier this season!

I think Danny rather likes Joe. He doesn't whine at him and call him names, like he does with other cops he doesn't play well with. City residency has long been a bone of contention for NYPD. But rather than letting them live outside the city, which Frank correctly sees as a further wall between the officers and the people they are supposed to protect, it would be a lot easier for the city to make affordable housing available to cops and other City employees. Eddie and Jamie are actually both on the same page a lot of the time. It's taking them years, but they are actually learning how to work as a functioning couple. And the DA got a chance to grab the glory for Erin's good deed, AND give her all the paperwork. Respect.

That taser shooting was ripped from the headlines. The officer who did it was actually a veteran and she ended up going to jail. Well I'm sure they'll drop the storyline, but that cop is going to be more than just kicked off the force. He'll probably be charged. Is Buck going to change? Probably not. He never changes. He's so good with kids because he's just a big kid. And in his coma timeline, he was a kindergarten teacher, right? Don't care about Brad. Don't care about Garrett. They can both go away. I don't think they'll do another tragic Maddie pregnancy. She and Chim have a pretty functional relationship at this point. Their neuroses complement each other.

I think the show has found its tone. And it was definitely about dressing everyone up last night. And they all looked great in eveningwear. I've always liked Vanessa Williams's comedy chops, and Molly Price brought some too. Kaya is a good friend for Elsbeth to have, because she is a bit more attached to everyday life. I love how everyone was into the heist and the counter heist.

I think that Eddie dancing to Risky Business was fan service, and I consider myself serviced! Also, that priest was definitely hitting on him. It's not really Catholic protocol to stalk a guy from the confessional until you find him and force him to confront himself. Now fucking go get Christopher, Eddie. And I almost laughed out loud when the 118 decided to save a child in serious danger by putting another child in serious danger. However, how cute was it when Cap referred to himself as "Captain Bobby?" And I have decided to treat Buck as a human golden retriever. So pretty, so dumb. It almost felt like a call back to when he asked Taylor to move in with him. What's his relationship with Taylor his longest and most successful? Also, did he ever get a couch? I thought the pregnancy story line was well acted and Chim and Maddie continue to grow as a couple.

Well, in the BOOK she's basically a prostitute. In the film, she's Audrey Hepburn! ;-) Also the former child star was so specific in her behavior, Is wondered which of Elsbeth 's writers worked on a Nickelodeon show!

Bode is the king is stupid decisions. Always will be. I'm not sure I can follow a character who is that stupid. See also: Buck on 9-1-1.

I think Quinto is a pretty good actor, but he's being asked to do a million things at once, and not all of them make sense.
