Hmm. As someone who absolutely does not care about Colin, I guess I was thinking this season that I could focus on the things that I do enjoy - like Kate/Anthony interactions, Benedict/Anthony interactions, and Benedict/Eloise. LOL, joke's on me, I guess. My mean opinion (as someone who gets nothing from Colin, and therefore feels nothing from the Pen/Colin romance) is that they didn't want anyone else's natural chemistry outshining whatever Colin's going for. Meh. The Benedict actor is so much better than the crapola stories they write for him. For fun, I like to imagine Colin with Benedict's humor and charm. Yeah, that would have worked for me. Charm lessons from that guy would have actually made sense! I don't know if this show typically reuses music, but I instantly recognized the song from Benedict's dance with the widow Lady as a song from the Kate/Anthony season. It took me a minute to remember, but it was the song that the entire family danced to prior to Kate and Anthony's hookup in the gazebo. Rewatched that season 2 scene and remembered the cute little Benedict/Eloise moments ☹️

To sum this season up, meh. The dialogue on this show is SOO bad. Nobody actually talks like these people. They need better writers, because it was just basically ten episodes of crappy filler and no plot. They also need better wardrobe people. You know, ones who won’t scour the globe in search of the biggest, poofiest sleeves in existence. What was with ramping up Kyle’s Shakespeare in the Park impromptu little performances to like a ten? This is real life, please don’t go around “acting” all the time yikes. Also yikes…Helen in the Ryan break-up scene. Was not a fan of how the actress played that at all. I can’t believe we didn’t see Bill try to get to know Isaac, or Noreen/Maddie’s kids find out that Isaac is Bill’s son. Isaac suddenly acting like Bill was some deadbeat who abandoned him was ridiculous, sigh.

Writing your sister a big check (using joint funds) without discussing it with your spouse/significant other first?? Uh uh. I would have killed Ronnie. Also, I was super distracted by the way Helen and Erik pronounced produce. PRAH duce. What the…? I’ve only ever said it the way cute fruits and veg/produce guy Jeremy said it - PRO duce. Maybe I’ve been wrong my whole life LOL.

The fight between the three women is stupid, and Helen, in particular, is majorly overreacting. It seemed obvious that Ryan had one foot out the door this entire time…he kept mentioning how happy he was traveling. Not sad to see him go, and I hope Erik doesn’t take Helen back (but I know that’s where we’re headed, meh). I don’t find Cal attractive, and there is like zero chemistry between him and Maddie. They’re just super boring. There is also no chemistry between Annie and Ty, and I have no idea what the deal is there. Ty seems to like her, but then he was weird on the first day of school, and Annie and Kyle had a nice little moment. Is Kyle’s crush on her going to be a thing again? I don’t know what the age difference is, but honestly, he’s the cuter, sweeter, more interesting brother. I’m rooting for Kyle, LOL. Bill needs to just focus on being a good dad right now. Can he be single for more than like 2 minutes? Geez! Plus, Ronnie’s sister has problems. Just stay away from her, Bill. You don’t need baby number six with lady number four, my god!!!

Yeah…this wasn’t great (and I’m pretty easy to please!). Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ acting was as expected, but I thought Richard Madden would be much better than he was (I am familiar with him but haven’t really watched anything he was in). The time and location jumps coupled with racing through plot lines was just too chaotic. Like, there were elements that could have been interesting, but the show rushed through them to tell a story that was at times predictable, while also kinda boring? WTH, both Mason and Priyanka in the Declassified thing referenced Nadia being Mason’s wife. LOL, I don’t remember that happening. I recall her leaving the ring and walking away…That was bizarre. Like I said, I’m easy to please and would have been happy watching a sexy spy series where a Scottish, amnesiac Mason Kane falls in love with his partner again, while occasionally remembering bits and pieces of their past 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think Sylvie adopting the baby is either setting up Kara Killmer's departure from the show or the return of Casey in season 12, I don't know which. From next week's preview, I could see Sylvie and Casey getting back together and raising the baby. If Jesse Spencer returns, it would allow both Kara and Jesse to work less hours/appear in fewer episodes (when one is on shift in the episode, the other could be at home with the baby). I would happily take this over losing Casey, Sylvie, and Severide yikes.

Anyone else getting the impression that Nadia had a child with Mason? In the first episode, shortly before the memory wipe, she said that she needed to tell him something. And in this episode, she got all teary-eyed when told that “the package” was “waiting for her.” Yeah, when Mason accused her of leaving (back in episode 1), and she referenced being off on a mission in Berlin, I think she was totally off having their child.

Netflix US premiere date is June 8th

That felt like they are setting things up for Casey to return at some point (please please please 🙏🏻). I was never overly attached to him, but when he left, the show started giving the extra screen time to characters I just don’t care about. Oh man, I really hope he’s coming back.

I'm probably alone in this, but unfortunately, I'm just not feeling the relationship between Charlie and Emma. They went out a few times, hooked up a few times, and they're already in love (& Emma wants him to come to Mexico with her)? They don't know each other & neither had a moment to even process the end of their previous relationship. Like, whoa, slow down. Frankly, Charlie should have bailed the moment he was interrogated by the CIA. Eh, I'm not into it. It was nice seeing Paul Blackthorne again, though!

Kat's hair was quite long in 1814, so I guess we're going to see her trying to get to Jacob for a while (which yeah, they're probably going to have to make him a bit older next season since kids grow so fast and the little actor will look very different the next time we see him). I'm all for spending a bunch of time in 1814 in season 2 👍

Hmm, I was booooored. Cash has no chemistry with his dead brother’s widow. Also, I’m not finding any of the actors/actresses interesting. They are seriously ALL bland - just some terrible casting choices. What a letdown after how much I enjoyed The Way Home!

Premieres Sunday March 26th at 9/8 c on Hallmark

I think a few people predicted that Jacob jumped in after the dog. Didn’t think that was the route they would take, LOL. I’m sad that Elliott broke up with Kat. His reason didn’t really make sense to me since his young self had no clue that he ended up with Kat in the future. It was his free choice to end up with her and not something written in stone, or whatever. I was not surprised that Alice ended up mailing the letter. I thought maybe Del would be the woman in 1814 (since if the dog can time travel, I guess anyone can, LOL), so seeing Kat was a little surprising. I hope she finds Jacob, but I don’t know how they will explain that to the townspeople.

Hmm, now that I think about it, why wouldn't Kat and Alice confront young Elliott at Colton's funeral next week to tell him they caused the accident and he needs to stop them from jumping back (on whatever date that was) in the future? It doesn't seem like that's going to happen next week, since present-day Elliott only figured out they were there by reading about it in the newspaper. (Also, they were on a rural road in the middle of the night, and some witness saw them running away or running through the woods or whatever? Weird). Also, we have to get some answers next week regarding the White Witch thing from the premiere, right?
