The power's source has never been fully explored/explained. It could be supernatural in origin. Max being able to hear Zoey's heartsong makes it harder for me to believe that it's brain damage/hallucination, because now Max is having them too. I am now convinced the powers are supernatural/magical. Zoey got them because forces decided she needed to get better at tuning into people's emotions, reading people's emotions, and trying to help them. When Zoey was in a place of complete emotional honesty, and because Max is so tuned into her, he was able to hear her heart song. I think it may be a one time thing, but it would be really cool if Max could hear Zoey's heartsongs in season 3, or other people's heart songs. Does he know about the reponsibility that comes with the power? The rules so far: 1. If she hears a mission based heart song, she has to take action. 2. If she does not take action, the heart song will keep playing until she takes action and tries to solve the problem. 3. Mission based heart songs only occur with people she knows/has a relationship with. 4. Non-mission based heart songs are usually expressions of joy and do not require any action on Zoey's part. If I forgot anything or got anything wrong, let me know. Also, if you think I should start a new post so we have one go to post to discuss the powers, let me know.

Remember, when discussing TV shows or movies, people tend to talk about where the scene is supposed to be taking place rather than where it was actually filmed. Most adults know that not every scene is filmed on location. To me, it makes sense that someone would describe it as the golden gate park scene. When discussing the events of the Harry Potter movies, people are more likely to refer to a scene as taking place at Hogwarts, not the name of the real castle or Oxford building where they filmed it.

Yes! I would love to see storylines about Simon and this new company as well as any others that he brings on to mentor. Depending on how long the series lasts, there could be a new start-up company Simon is working with each season. As soon as DMD mentioned lawsuits, I thought "that's supid. Just buy the small company. It's much easier and saves tons of time and legal fees." I think this is exactly what happened. This may be a new dimension of her power. When she is emotionally open to someone and trusts them completely, they can hear her heart song. My guess is that only someone who knows about her power would be able to hear her heart songs. I am still surprised that Max and Zoey have only known each other five or six years. It seems like they have known each other for so much longer.

Here is a link to the imdb episode list. It has a synopsis of what each episode will cover. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11612380/episodes?ref_=tt_ov_epl I have been enjoying the series so far. CNN does excellent documentaries.

This episode was fantastic. I had forgotten the series could be this good. I thought it was strange for them to introduce Joe Hill and then write him off so soon after, but this was a great way to bring him back. I hope he becomes a full time cast member. Casting did an excellent job, because Joe looks a little like Jamie. The problem isn't that the show has too many characters, it's that it inists on giving each thier own story. It makes sense to have Frank off in his own story, but the others work best when they are in each others stories. The best part of the episode was seeing everyone work together on different parts of the same case. The show should do more of that. I didn't realize how much I wanted Jamie and Danny off on an adventure until I saw it. These two need to work together again next season. I loved seeing Danny realize/admit that Jamie is a future police commissioner. Danny admitting weakness is huge.

That's my guess. I don't know why everyone assumes he's going to have an affair at this point in his life (and before anyone says anying I have watched The Big Bang Theory). I could easily see Brenda telling him that he doesn't want to do this. I could see her talking him down to staying out late and coming home at the crack of down. Brenda would remind him that he loves his kids and that whatever problems he's having with Mary isn't worth destroying the relationship he has with his kids.

That was my biggest problem with the finale. Adam is a character many viewers care about and to leave his fate so uncertain when everyone else gets a happily ever after felt wrong. Same here. If they wanted to show Bonnie's growth through a crisis, have Adam tell her the doctor found something and referred him to a specialist for tests. You can still have Bonnie freak out and call Marjorie. You can still show her worrying about what happens next. The results come back; it's treatable with surgery, or it isn't actually cancer. Bonnie's share at the end about being able to deal with a crisis without drugs or alcohol still works.

I always thought things really fell apart when Sheldon left home for graduate school, and that hasn't happened yet. Based on what we've seen of Billy, I'm guessing it was an accident. It was probably a combination of Billy being larger and not knowing his own strength, Sheldon being smaller, and Billy being more used to rough play than Sheldon.

Overall, I really enjoyed this episode. You are correct and I feel kind of dumb because I didn't realize that until this episode. When she talked about doing the sermon on Sunday and saying "we'll play it by ear," I thought "that is so Sheldon." (except with Sheldon it would be a lecture) Maybe that's why she doesn't see may of Sheldon's worst qualities; it's because she has them too and isn't self-aware enough to realize they are issues. It's kind of like the origin of the hot beverage when someone is experiencing emotional distress. Sheldon wouldn't know what to do with someone with an emotional problem, but after Dr. Sturgis told him to offer someone tea, coffee, or some other hot beverage, it became his go to move. Sheldon wouldn't know he has an obligation to protect/watch out his twin sister, as the older brother but once someone he trusts tells him he has one, he is duty bound to fulfill that obligation. I actually wished we could have spent more time with Missy and Sheldon. It was great to see them open up to each other. I hope we get to see more of that, even thought I knew it would take something extereme for that to happen again.

That's very true and makes a great deal of sense. I think that's exactly what is going to happen. Things really start to go down hill and become awful after Sheldon leaves home. They can end the series before that point. They've set up an interesting dynamic for Georgie. He can be a bit of screw-up and a goofball, but when it comes to the really important stuff he puts his family first. He took Missy and Shedon home from a high school party they had no business going to in the first place. He's a protective older brother when it comes to Missy. He helped the old woman this season when he had every reason to ignore her pages and no real reason to help her, other than he knew it was the right thing to do.

I wish last week's episode had been the series finale. Last week's episode would have worked perfectly as a series finale. It's just weird, because when they wrote this episode, they knew it was going to be the series finale. This episode felt more like they were setting up another season. Adam's struggle with cancer would have been a story-arc, and you would have the new mother and daughter as another story-arc. I loved Sgt. Pepper and Dr. Pepper. I'm guessing on an element of Wendy's backstory. One of her mothers (probably the younger one) had sex with a man (maybe to see if she was really a lesbian), which resulted in pregnacy. The older mother decided based on the age difference she could pass off Wendy as her daughter. This would have only worked when Wendy was very young. The older mother would pretend she had two daughters with a vast age difference between them. It sounds totally crazy, but maybe it's on the verge of plausible?

Slightly off-topic/slightly on-topic. It's funny you mentioned Tony. In NCIS, Weatherly looks almost exactly like Robert Wagner in It Takes a Thief. On Bull, he's slowly turning into Robert Wagner in Hart to Hart.

I don't understand how the client could claim fraud when she know how close Hank came to rescuing her child. She had a conversation with her daughter via Hank's cell phone. She knew he found her daughter. Why would she think he spent all that time and money on a luxury vacation when he came so close to doing what she hired him to do?

You can't compare Fonize and Barbarino, but not Christy. On Happy Days, Fonzie, for the first season or two, was a minor character that became a fan favorite and then one of, if not the central character of the series. Welcome Back Kotter started off as an esemble show with Kotter at the center, but then the focus slightly shifted to Barbarino. What happened to Christy is the opposite. She started off as one of the central characters and then over the course of the series got pushed to the sidelines.

No, you are not. I was super confused because I was sure Max and Zoey had known each other since high school, if not earlier. Watching this episode made me wonder why I was so sure they had known each other before SPRQPoint. I like the idea of Zora being a character you never see, but keep hearing about. Sort of like Tino, (My So Called Life) Maris (Fraiser), or Vera (Cheers).

I refuse to believe that with so many brothers and an ex-husband, Erin would be unable to recognize the quote from GoodFellas. I think so, because Danny and Baez were no longer looking for the person who killed the other two. I agree with you; they did a horrible job explaining/wrapping up the case involving the murders of the homeless. The same man finding all three bodies made sense if the bodies were all left in the same place or near each other. If he had a regular jogging route, and the bodies were placed along the route, then it would make sense that he found them.

I love your idea for the spin-off. Tammy and a crew of women who have been in prison would be fantastic. Bonnie becomes Maris in Fraiser. We hear about her and what she's doing, but we never see her. Bonnie still exists as part of the business, we just never see her anymore. Tammy could also have her businesses in a new location far away, which would explain why Bonnie is no longer there. My understanding of why it was cancelled had to do with Anna Farris. At the last minute when she decided not to do the show, the network decided to cancel it after season 8.

@treeofdreams When Tammy first joined the show, she was too big, too loud, too annoying, but the writers realized that very quickly and toned down her character. They found the right level and what her role in the group was, and the character dramatically improved. I would love a spin-off of Tammy and Bonnie's business. I'd like for this hypothetical spin-off to also include Adam's bar. It's thier hangout when they're not working or at home. Unless one or both of the actresses has something lined up, there's no reason it couldn't happen.

I can't believe Frank was making that big of an issue out of the headline, unless there was something mean, nasty, and deragory in the article, in which case spend the episode talking about that. I'm sure the headline was taken out of context, and I don't understand why Garrett didn't say that. I have no idea what the question was, but the answer was probably like "Frankly, we could do better which is why we've launched three different initiatives," or something like that. There must've been a scene cut from Eddie and Jamie's story which explains why Eddie was so obsessed with the magazine quiz. Maybe a couple they know or she knows that seemed perfect is about to get a divorce, or something else set her off. Giver her a line to explain she had the couple at the police station take the relationship quiz. I'd go with she was trying to descalate things and kill time for reasons (paperwork, or something else) Maybe I watched too much Scooby-Doo as a kid, but I have a strong belief in play-fair mysteries (the audience should have all of the clues needed to solve the case), and it bothers me when that doesn't happen. I don't understand how Danny and Baez went from, she has schizophrenia, she was seen with the victim in footage from the news, she must be the one killing homeless people. Anthony's story reminded of me of the silly cases on L.A Law. I thought it was silly fun. Overall, I am 100% convinced there were scenes and lines of dialogue that were cut from this episode.

The show with commercials is 30 minutes. The episode without commercials is 18-22 minutes. The part at the end with Sheldon and George was wonderful and so touching. Love triangles work best when the person is dealing with two different people who often represent two different things. I think that's part of the reason this love triangle works so well. I liked the idea for this episode, but not the execution. It felt scattered, like a bunch of random imagine spots. I wished there had been more of an actual plotline. Malcolm in The Middle had a fantastic episode where the mother wonders what if her four sons were daughters and how her life would be different. The same series also had another episode that was based on Sliding Doors (what happens if the mother takes two of her sons to go bowling and the father stays home to watch the youngest vs. what happens if the father takes two of his sons to go bowling and the mother stays home to watch the youngest). It would have been great if we got to see a full 22 minute episode play out in an alternate universe, or see the same story play out in the normal universe and the alternate universe.

In the best of circumstances it is incredibly difficult to have a baby on set. They are only allowed on set and on camera for a very limited amount of time and you have to hope that during that limited time, the baby does want you want it to. Because the time they are allowed is so limited, ususally people cast twins, so when one baby's time is up, they can put in the next baby. I am pretty sure there are rules about a parent or guardian being on set as well. I imagine with COVID protocals and the need to limit the number of people on set, the last thing they want is another person around.

Since the show has pretty much dropped the whole "trial science" and it's rare that we get to see anything beyond a quick glimpse of jury selection, they should just accept the fact that the show has changed into something else and be okay with that. I like the character of Marissa but she has been underutilized and poorly written. I'd love to give her something important and significant in this new version of the series. I have no idea what that is, but there must be some way to incorporate her skill set. Something the actual show has not delved into that I would love to see explored are the differences between what Taylor can do and what Danny can do. Also, in this new hypothetical version of the show, could it be more like L.A Law where there's a serious case and a silly case every week? (I've never watched Boston Legal).

I am trying to understand your idea for a possible hypothetical spin-off/reimagining. Is your idea more like a standard legal drama where it's case of the week and you have Benny and Chunk representing clients, while Taylor and Danny use thier investigative skills and contacts to help? If that's the show you are picturing, I would watch that. Bull and Marissa haven't been doing much lately anyway.

That would make sense. In house would mean that it would be less expensive for the songs that Universal Music owns. That does not save them money. You pay the same if you are using the first verse or the entire song. This would be a considerable savings as well. They only have to pay to license the song, not the most popular version of it. It's why Mad Men would sometime use a less popular/famous version of a song (because it was cheaper than using the version that people were most familiar with) That's my guess. It was totally random. We haven't seen evidence of any higher power/supernatural force contacting her about how to use her powers or giving her any kind of assistance.

I'm guessing this series has an astronomical music budget, and some other element of the show costs significantly less than a typical show. Is it really invading someone's personal life if the information is already available publically on social media? The Chirp was using what people had already made public on different social media accounts. If you are putting the information out there on a publically viewable social media page for all of the world to see, isn't any kind of privacy argument moot?
