This always seemed like a one-time thing, so this "cancellation" isn't surprising: https://x.com/bryanleeomalley/status/1859336990405296142

I need y'all to have faith! 😭 He definitely used to work for the government; not sure whether he's actually ex-military, though. That might be a ret-con? I think they only really got into his backstory in the first couple of seasons, and I don't remember details from that far back either.

From July at TVLine: (emphasis mine) But we still haven't seen her yet. I wonder if she gets introduced in this week's fall finale, or later next year? Most of us are thinking she's Lena, (probably) Sir's sister and accomplice, right?

I kept forgetting that this was actually getting made (because, why??). Even besides the fact that they seem to be going the shot-for-shot; I don't see how remaking this in live-action adds anything -- except maybe certainn action scenes will be even more traumatic?

I think I had heard about this before, but I didn't realize it was going to be a network show. Sounds slightly more interesting than the typical procedural; and I hope it is.

Hmmm... according to Deadline, CBS is considering a spin-off. It would be based around two new characters that will be introduced later this season.

Here's hoping! But I don't even mind the occasional CIA stuff; it was that Robyn was getting pulled back in way too often (when she's supposedly retired from that life), also past nemeses kept popping up. We can do a CIA plot once a season, IMO.

I'm gonna need y'all to not jinx this for me! 😉 This was part of the silly circumstances I mentioned before; police should have been all over that scene within minutes.

So that was kind of a mix of a CIA case and an Equalizer case. So a bit more tolerable than a straight CIA case. Ugh -- they were doing so well, then they had to have Fisk say "mall cop" literally one last time. Not sad to see Fisk go, although I thought the circumstances were a little silly/unnecessary. Definitely silly is this love triangle with Robyn's ex. Anyway, nice to see Dante in town and having scenes with Robyn again. Never been a fan of amnesia storylines, so I hope they resolve that soon-ish; as in before Ben dies. Is it a rule that TV hackers have to be annoying in some way? Fashion highlight: Only Robyn's hair this week. But it's also nice to see Dante dress more casually now that he's out of the NYPD.

Yes, I've seen one of those ads, and I was like - 'That's not how that works.'

They actually haven't given us much info, but he was a prisoner of war held captive for months(?) at least.

I was about to be mad about no Kenan, but then he showed up for 2 minutes. Wow, this one was pretty heavy with celebrity impressions. I think I would have enjoyed the Digital Short if they were singing about something else. Wondering that myself.
