Well, Tony said before that he got into NCIS because he 'smiled', so hopefully that means he'll be leaving with a smile as well! Anybody remember what his very first scene on Yankee White was? I seem to remember it was him and Gibbs at the airport trying to get their guns through security.

I probably watched too much Hustle or Mission impossible, but I thought that instead of killing/kidnapping the kid, they should have gone after Savage instead. Not to assassinate him, but to assassinate his character. Fake some intel on him that shows what a bad guy he is, show it to Per's daddy and get Savage fired as tutor. Once he's out of the picture the kid might have had a chance

I was just coming here to post about S5! If they follow their previous schedules, they should start shooting in September with a likely air date of February 2017.

Scorpion is one of those shows where I just park my brain in neutral for an hour and sit back and enjoy the ride. I loved the Scorpi-Olympics and of course Toby would come up with a way to counter the brain freeze. Although was solving a theorem really a fair game, given that Sylvester is the maths whiz and would surely have solved it before at some point?

Every time I see that there's a new post in this thread, I'm dreading seeing whose name is going to come up. (and there's a tiny sigh of relief when it's just a reaction to one posted earlier)

When Guyiera realised he could control Coulson's hand, was anybody else disappointed that we didn't get a "stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!" scene? Just me then? :-)

How terrible that somebody might give their kid a title as a first name. *cough*Prince*cough*

IIRC, Delia is a nurse on a male surgical ward. She wouldn't be on call as such, but could easily be rostered on for night shifts and might need a single room so that she could sleep during the day.

I cancelled NCIS after S9 because Ziva just made it so unwatchable to me. I did uncancel it after she'd left in S11 and stayed with it through most of S12, but by then I was just fed up with Gibbs that I ended up cancelling it again. NCIS Los Angeles is going pretty much the same way, mainly because I don't like that they've paired up Deeks and Kensi (I find it completely ridiculous that they'd be allowed work together in the field while being in a relationship). I do still have the eps on series link, so I may catch up with it when time allows. One advantage of eps not airing in my area until weeks or months after the original airdate is that I can sometimes cancel a show before a character gets killed off. So as far as I'm concerned, Sleepy Hollow ended mid way through S3 and Abby Mills is alive and well! (and Person of Interest only had two seasons and Carter isn't dead either...and nobody please tell me any differently!!!)

If your DVD player will play Region 4, then the ABC Australia shop ships the DVDs worldwide https://shop.abc.net.au/ I think season 4 is being released next month. You may end up having to pay an import tax though and the postage can be expensive enough.

Mattie lodges with Blake. There's no family relationship. Blake pays Jean to act as his housekeeper/receptionist, but we don't know what arrangements he made regarding money for while he was away. Presumably whatever Matte was paying in rent would have covered some of the household running costs.

Blake has been Danny (the young policeman) was transferred to Melbourne and replaced by Charlie. In real life the actor got a job on another show and was unavailable for S2. Not sure what you mean by 'what has Jean done'? :-) And the death was Nell Clasby, a patient of Blake's who had appeared in a few episodes of S1. The actress Penne Hackforth-Jones died before S2 started filming - that's why there was an 'in memory' card in the closing titles of S2 ep 1. Any other mysteries need solving, just ask :-)

In my (albeit limited) experience, there's three parts to a wedding. First is the ceremony - religious or civil - then there's the reception, usually with a full meal and then a band afterwards. And then there's what we'd call the 'afters' which is usually another party in the evening with maybe a buffet or finger food and a disco. Guests will usually be invited to the whole day - close friends and family - or just the 'afters' - more distant relatives/friends and people you just want a wedding present from ;-)

It's a spinoff from Crownies with most of the same characters.

Sly said his earpiece fell out when the hatch got welded shut. I guess Ken didn't have one.

I think that even with all of those reasons, Ianto fans would have been a lot less pissed off if TPTB had actually acknowledged that yes, they had a right to be upset that their favourite character had been killed off. But instead we were dismissed as being a (small) number of 'hysterical women' who only watched the show for the hot guys and basically we should be watching Supernatural instead. It was the dismissiveness that really angered many fans. It was like we weren't supposed to grieve for a character. (and here was me thinking that showrunners/creators would have actually liked the fact that their creations had been so memorable that people were upset when they were written off)

I think I saw a cartoon strip about that 'show'. It went something like Doctor "you've got cancer" Patient "oh no, I'll have to become a drug dealer to pay my medical bills" Doctor "Welcome to the NHS where it'll all be paid for" The End

,Ziva's return wouldn't be overly improbable. IIRC, didn't she just decide to stay in Israel. She's not dead, she could easily pay a surprise visit (although I really hope she doesn't, especially if it's anything to do with Tony leaving)

Season 4 is scheduled to start airing in Australia on Friday 5th February.

Agents dating each other isn't the problem. The problem (to me anyway) is when those agents are on the same team and working together as partners in the field. I can't think of any organization (in the real world) that would allow that to happen and I think less of Hetty for appearing to approve of the situation.

All the comments about Watson knowing that 'Hooper' was a woman and Sherlock not noticing. I'd just assumed that Sherlock had known, but since she was competent at her job, he didn't feel it was worth mentioning. (of course that was before we knew this was all in Sherlock's head)

Watched all three episodes back to back tonight. Well worth viewing, IMO. (and I'm not just saying this because of Aidan Turner in a towel ;-)

When they were interviewing Nate, at one point I'm sure he said that Abby would never have left 'her' child. I would have expected him to say she'd have never left 'our' child - since at that point we only knew that he and Abby were a couple and didn't know about Branford. So maybe Nate wasn't the biodad either.

Morse code is a straightforward code with every letter having its own dot/dash combination. If Walter heard a sentence being tapped out and was given the translation, he's got a good enough memory to remember the code for each letter in that sentence. Translate a few sentences for him and he'll have the code for enough letters to be able to guess the missing ones in the next line of code tapped out. I think that him picking up morse code was probably one of the less implausible things in the episode! (although I'm surprised he wouldn't have learned it at some stage already)

We still don't know who is in the box though. I'd assumed it was going to be Leanne, on the grounds that she's the most likely person they'd want to lock up. And that last scene, just the subtle change in Matthew Bayton's expression that made all the difference...damn he's good!
