YES YES YES YES YES to all of this.

Same! ha! I don't care if they hook up, as long as it doesn't impact how they work with each other. (HA). The limited Abby was a win for me. And I agree with @stonehaven that it was nice to see MH and RC have a good belly laugh together. "Wait - I AM Mohammad, right?"

I detected a bit of longing on Torres’ part right at the end ... looking back at the elevator. Not gonna lie: busted right out at “I got 3 kids anna sick nana in Boca!” I want to hear about the twins. And I want McGee to shave that rat fuzz off his face.

also used: lethargic, frail, failing health. WTF

OK, I call shenanigans on all of it. Inquisitr is THE WORST. This seems to have several made-up parts: https://www.inquisitr.com/4711624/ncis-season-15-spoilers-and-predictions-mark-harmon-and-other-cast-likely-to-return-for-another-installment/ @GHScorpiosRule - be sure to have a cocktail handy when you get to the line stating "MH's advanced age..." it only gets worse from there... ACK

I have watched this season and can't confirm - only because I don't remember. Plus, their interactions over the years keep circling in my head and I can't separate it. I do agree that they haven't spent a lot of time together, but never a scene? And if it is true, how did I not notice it?! I need @GHScorpiosRule to weigh in.

well clearly I should have continued reading at TV Line and would have turned this up: Midseason Ratings Report: What Are ABC's Best & Worst Shows? By Matt Webb Mitovich / December 26 2017, 12:30 PM PST Now that the broadcasters have completed their run of fresh episodes for the fall, let’s see how each network’s shows are stacking up thus far for the 2017-18 TV season, starting with ABC. Listed below is the average Live+Same Day demo RATING for each ABC series. Beside that is the percent CHANGE versus each program’s previous full-season average (or its time slot predecessor’s performance, if noted to the right). The NOTES section also reminds of any time slot changes to keep in mind when eyeballing up/down movements. Each program's RANK refers to perhaps the most critical measure — how it is faring compared to other shows on ABC, since come springtime heads must roll to make room for shiny-and-newish pilots. (Is devastating to me.)

Yup. I posted the preview from TVLine in the spoiler thread (had some photos and other details for the ep). If you're interested.

I trust TVLine above all others on this stuff, and they still have it as 50/50. I would be devastated if it was cancelled. https://tvline.com/2017/10/10/renewed-tv-shows-2018-renewal-scorecard-cancelled-series/

I also NEED to see Chef and Gwynne as parents. And living in the castle (Assuming they weren’t trampled to death.)

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I wanted to see the reign of Queen Izzy as well. And what's next for Gareth/Sid? Do they find Madalena right away? Spend the whole season on their own adventure? In that case, could the jester go with them?

tee! i knew this would make you crazed! ha!

TVLine article (with pix) re: first ep back on Jan 2 posted in the Spoiler thread.

TVLine: EXCLUSIVE NCIS: How Cozy Will Bishop/Torres Get While Undercover? — 2018 FIRST LOOK (<< -- pix at TVLine) By Matt Webb Mitovich / December 23 2017, 10:00 AM PST It’s shades of NCIS Season 3, Episode 8 when Agents Bishop and Torres go undercover as a couple — and TVLine has an exclusive first look at just how close the two get while doing so. In the CBS drama’s first episode of 2018 — titled “High Tide” and airing Tuesday, Jan. 2 at 8/7 — Torres (played by Wilmer Valderrama in his best Jughead Jones sherpa jacket) and Bishop (Emily Wickersham) pose as a criminal couple available for hire, as part of a sting operation tracking illegal drug-running out of the Norfolk civilian marina. Will the not-unattractive twosome be able to keep things strictly professional while posting as lovebirds? Or will their act “escalate” to evoke a fraction of the frothy goodness as when Tony and Ziva passed themselves off as a married assassins (in the aforementioned “Under Covers” episode)? Check out the photos above and below and get in your best guess. Want scoop on NCIS, or for any other show? Email InsideLine@tvline.com and your question may be answered via Matt’s Inside Line.

ooooooooooooh @deaja a move from Peggy to Lorelai... hmmmmmmmmmm. What does this portend?!?! :-)

But because he works for the CIA, i'm guessing that whole "No domestic surveillance... etc." is moot.

yes, by all means, dmitri (alexxander, whatever, fishcakes) - continue on this path of self-destruction. Stevie may not fully grasp the enormity of the cluster fuck the two of you dating has become, but surely you do, yes??? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. I KNOW he is hurting because his friend was killed. I KNOW he is looking to stay clean so will grasp at any straw he can. But dude, you're smarter than this. Do we think he was going to tell Stevie they had to break up? or they had to tell her father? or tell her that he works for the CIA? good grief. I absolutely thought Henry was going to show up at the apartment to tell him it was only the CIA checking up on him. I very much liked the NSAdvisor opposing Bess. I thought her argument was well-thought out. In fact, I almost thought that Bess was going to lose this fight. I also liked that she pushed back at Russell. They all seem to have a respectful working relationship. What's the deal with Daisy and grandma? This is clearly going to become a bigger thing, yes? Otherwise, why intro it? I enjoyed Jay's "Oh, come on - Blake is still the boss." I also wanted to know if that was Patina's real baby because I'm nosy like that. In any event, that baby was scrumdiddilyumptious!

I don’t care how corny it is but this show brings me great joy. It’s just nice to watch something that is light and fun and a message to boot. I’m a pushover for sure but I own it! ? ”ooooh hallelujah, we be going to Atlantis!” TK remains my favorite.

<applause> Perhaps next ep she will ask everyone what the hell happened to her part...? I guffawed at Mike B's <"ouch"> aside as Stevie tried to convince her mom to go along with the party. Also at Blake as they went to DOD: "Well, she's not going to work ou-" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." But my favorite quote is a tie between two Mike Bs: Elizabeth [about Morejon]: "You do know we hate each other?" Mike B: "Yeah. It's classic D.C. jiu jitsu. He has to come, you look gracious, he feels awful, and you win. Trust me, it's perfect." OR In same scene w Stevie trying to convince Bess on party: Elizabeth: "And you're okay with this?" Stevie: "Yeah. Absolutely." Mike B: "My God, it's like a hostage video."

And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead.

Me too! I thought it was done wonderfully. I never necessarily considered myself Team Raf or Team Michael (mostly Team Jane), but this ep may have made me ride-or-die for Rafael. I love that he has been so supportive of her writing and has pushed her at every step. Also, I never even considered what Michael’s death meant to Mateo healthwise. (Clearly he loved Michael - I mean that could he jump to the conclusion that he could die, too.) not a parent - never occurred to me. Patricia is when I cried. I loved the narrator: “that was the only review that mattered.” loved all of it!

I apologize if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but I thought this was the best place to post this. I have always been a devoted West Wing fan and have finally given up enough bad television to catch up on The West Wing Weekly podcast. (Which is divine as a whole if you are even a person who just enjoyed TWW.) anyway I just finished listening to an interview with MH about his role as Secret Service agent Simon Donovan. He was so so so so so kind (clearly not a surprise) and so thrilled to talk about his time there. His love for Allison Janney could not be contained. It’s a great listen. SPOILER: if you ever think you are going to watch TWW then don’t listen because it discusses the outcome for his character. Even if you’ve never watched, still worth it for his soothing voice!! If you want to skip to just him - FF to the 41:00 mark. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-west-wing-weekly/id1093364587?mt=2&i=1000391903433

Gunt: "We are a very pale people. We die off quickly." ... ... Gunt: "I do have to put on 80 sunblock <sob> just to get the morning paper."

I love this show so very much. I love the lesson in each ep, as old school TGIF as that is. I love all of the actors, and most of the characters. I *did* laugh out loud at Gunt and his Danish translucent skin. HA! Man, can YNB talk fast. I totally believe that she would bully everyone to get her own way in the choir. I like that there may be a thaw now between Courtney and Gunt - a little common ground.

YES!! TK: "AIDS, world hunger, tsunamis. All cured with a music festival." Jermaine: <<major sideeye>> Val: "Um, ok, but you can't cure a tsunami." TK: "Not with that attitude you can't." <"grrrrlll" unspoken, but implied.> LOVE. THIS. SHOW.
