It totally feels like NBC is burying the final season and trying to usher it out as quickly as it can, all because it’s a police show

The first episode of Life at the Waterhole was pretty interesting. The thing I kept thinking was how are they going to feel if some of those animals get eaten by predators simply because they were lured to a man-made waterhole for study? Though I think they hinted that some were killed on their way to the waterhole

I never made the connection that Maya Robinson, who plays Geena, also played Michelle in The Unicorn until I read a recent interview with the showrunner

I totally did not like Tyler in the role and I agree x 1000 that Gina Torres is doing great and is a wonderful addition to the cast

CBS’s Sunday 10pm slot is a terrible time slot, particularly for viewers, as whatever show is in there gets frequently delayed because of football. I add an hour padding for a CBS Sunday 10pm show, if I’m watching it, on my DVR’s season pass just in case the show runs over its time slot, which is frequent. Given the lateness of the hour, it’s hard to catch manually. So I don’t hold high hopes for SWAT, especially given an initial move to Fridays, then a later move to late on Sundays. Though 10pm in general is a tough slot these days and SWAT has been holding that pretty well for awhile

Will always falls on his sword for Nat and this time he shouldn’t have I thought Charles’s patient had seemed to recover too quickly; I guess she was just putting on a front. He was way too patient with her given her nuttiness and clingy behavior, but at least she’s getting proper help now

CBS released its Fall schedule and SWAT moves to Fridays at 8pm for the Fall and will then move to Sundays at 10pm sometime later in the season http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2021/05/19/cbs-announces-new-fall-schedule-for-2021-2022-704015/20210519cbs01/

I found it amusing that Denise’s creative attempts to avoid more work only endeared her to Harrison and impressed him with how smart she was. It also led him to push her to get her paralegal license or whatever it was

Such a sweet ending that works nicely as a series finale

I probably missed it but did Stevens refuse to let Dre move to the general market and only allow it once Dre quit, or did Dre have a hissy fit and quit before he deigned to ask? Stevens seems like too narrow minded a firm for Dre but he did hint that staying was a decision for now until he gets experience with the general market I look forward to see what Dre does in the regular market next season

It’s official, the show is renewed and moving to Paramount+ http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2021/05/18/new-seasons-of-cbs-dramas-evil-and-seal-team-coming-exclusively-to-paramountplus-381413/20210518cbs02/

It cracks me up every time they bring out the joke that Monica owns the house and Alan gave it to her, though they seem to be really overusing the joke lately I don't understand why Maxie didn't jump on Anna's offer to spirit her away from Peter. At least she wouldn't be working a plan alone and have to claim the baby was dead. She also should have told Anna about her own plan with Brooklyn and maybe they could have folded the two plans together. Of course, if she had taken Anna up on her offer, it would have left Brooklyn high and dry and maybe she didn't want to do that I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't want to have anything to do with the Nixon Falls storyline. I continue to fast forward through that as much as possible It's too bad Sharon Wyatt won't be appearing as Tiffany, but apparently the actress had part of her jaw removed recently

Yes, sorry, I did mean her about compartmentalizing. I think I got that from a producer or Gina Torres interview about those scenes. Regarding Grace asking her colleague to pull up the 911 call and play it, is that allowed without a supervisor signoff? That just seemed unrealistic

It continues to crack me up that Zoey and others continue to use DMD's full name when referring to him and especially when addressing him to his face

Damn. Like, wowza. Good job show and it’s not even the finale There is no way I could compartmentalize that much That young man with seizures has 9 lives like a cat. I guess no one should write him off again, but some specialist, or a bunch of them, need to take a deeper look at how he manages to survive

I’m kind of wondering if they were emphasizing how Maddie was feeling internally and not necessarily how she really looked to others, because her appearance looked really stark by the end and something that others should have been alarmed at. Also, I got the sense they were telling us that Maddie’s worry about the baby’s crying was really the PPD talking, showing her increasing disengagement from her. They showed Maddie upset that Chim could calm the baby where she couldn’t, like maybe she thought the baby preferred him to her or she was failing as a mother and couldn’t even calm the baby whereas Chim easily could

To me, ERs are patch them up and get them out, ie, pump and dump, at least for not immediately life threatening conditions. So I see it as Hen’s mom had to deal with a racially insensitive White doctor as you say plus being in the ER with an unknown condition that wasn’t seen as immediately life threatening. It’s important to follow up with your regular doctor, though that too can be especially problematic for people of color and women in general
