Thanks! She looks like she could be KA's daughter, but now hopefully she can act better than the last one.

We usually agree, but I have to respectfully disagree with you here. Not that Hope and Rafe is any great pairing with super chemistry either, but I do prefer them over Hope with Aiden. Aiden was such a drip - so boring with no personality. (OK, Rafe is similar too, but Aiden was like watching paint dry, imo.) I never cared for Chase, either, even before he was a rapist. They just didn't fit on the show, imo, they were too forced. I do agree that almost anything would have been better than what we got, but I'm obviously not sold on Aiden.

I think the Chicago "franchise" should stick to Fire and PD. Med had so much potential with Oliver Platt and S. Epatha Merkerson (sp?), but they really are way under utilized.

I'm not opposed to the age difference necessarily either, but definitely if he's Sonny's brother.

Do we have confirmation on a new Ciara?

I've been watching off and on since the 90s, and I never became a fan of Sami and Lucas. They were both just awful people, if I remember correctly. Lucas has been redeemed for the most part, but Sami is still pretty evil, IMO. I don't think someone with that attitude can ever get to the "supercouple" status with anyone. Bo/Hope, John/Marlena, Steve/Kayla, Kim/Shane, etc. were all, at their core, decent people. Sami isn't a decent human being.

I wasn't counting Wolf, because he's not in the US Navy. :-) But yes, he's Green's Australian equivalent. I assume that there are still other military personnel around the world and they are doing other things, such as the SEAL and others that we saw in previous seasons. And for their land missions, at least so far this season, it's made sense to wear civilian clothes to be "undercover" and not wear uniforms anyway.

I second that! I can't stand Billie... what's her point? Something with Kate and/or Lucas? Sorry, but that doesn't interest me in the least... And please, no Chelsea!

I don't have any special military knowledge, but I think it's obvious that Lt. Green is still the only special ops or SEAL on the show; he's still the only one who wears the different color scheme uniform.

I loved the actor; James Scott is tall, gorgeous, and has a great accent. He actually made EJ a conflicted character and likable at times.

Severide is confirmed alive by Derek Haas. I also think Casey is alive, because of the preview - it appears that he gets a medal. They are all in uniform at a ceremony, but observant viewers don't think it's a funeral. They all seem to think Boden can be seen pinning a medal on Casey. I didn't personally look close enough to notice this, but it's the consensus on social media.

Maybe Seda's return will be explained by the department he was in dissolving somehow? The main attorney guy from that show is moving to L&O:SVU, so somehow they have to explain all of them leaving.

Preview from the new showrunner. I guess it actually looks promising?

I still like the show. It's goofy and completely unrealistic, but I like it. I like Chandler's character, and most of the characters, but I just don't understand Sasha... Yes, yes we do. Does it make ANY sense?? As I said above, this show is completely unrealistic, but I feel like until this season, one thing that they did do well was showing the chain of command. I guess not anymore. Good call. I didn't even think of that, but now that you say it, I like this theory.

So this season is moving slow, eh? Sasha is awful. I need to know why she's in charge; I don't understand at all. Green and Wolf should be in charge on ground missions, no doubt. They were last season when Chandler was still in charge so why not now? I didn't mind Sasha before but now I really can't stand her. Rachel Scott was a much better female lead. I liked Mike's drug induced dreams. It made the character more human to me finally. I know Adam Baldwin from Chuck, where he played the same type of emotionless military commander and this episode was a nice little break. Yes, the ending was super cheesy. Yes, I liked it anyway. I'm still waiting for them all to shave... Green is usually my guilty pleasure, hot man in a uniform, but man he looks goofy with a beard...

The actor who plays Theo is leaving, correct? So he'll go off to get treatment at the same place where Phillip grew his leg back, and be recast and return in about a year perfectly healthy. That's my prediction...

Oh... right... and that's when Tex died on the plane, when he was saving his kids... Thanks, I remember now! Totally forgot!

Definitely this too. Actually, while I see the makeup issue, I suppose it doesn't really bother me that much - but definitely this. Green has been in charge for 3 years, answering only to CO and XO it seemed. Now he answers to her? And the British guy? I don't get it either. I like that Wolf is still just there to look pretty and fight people.

I wondered that too! Maybe he's dating Kara's mom and they are happy together somewhere else...

Weren't Brady and Kristen about to get married in St. Luke's? And they've both been married how many times? (As how many different people?) Adrienne and Lucas, too, right? I don't think this version of a Catholic church cares much.

The coming out story was very well done, I agree. And Chandler Massey is a good actor. But as you've all said, he grew up on screen - so what else has he done in the other 25 years? Not much. Therefore, I don't hate him, but I don't love him either.

I don't necessarily hate him, but I don't understand the extreme love for him either. So I guess my unpopular opinion is confusion as to why he's so popular. He's mostly a boring character who hasn't done much to remember him by.

I see what you did there...

I think he left his kids with the older woman. Is she his girlfriend's mother? I didn't catch who she was, but I think she had the better bond with the kids. He slept with Lucia to get access to her necklace, which was the key to open the locked office. I think it's his cover; I don't get the impression that he is the least bit interested for real.

I watched a few episodes of "Doctors" which is also a British soap, I think? And it was like a real show with real buildings, outdoors, cars, etc.
