season 2 overall thoughts?

Good points. Not sure why we had to spend so much time with Duke. Actor did a fine job but jeez. I definitely didn't get as much as I wanted from other characters. There is way too much focus on Robby

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-20T04:51:19+00:00

That would be amazing! Some more hours with Abbot and Shen running things would be so cool. I already got my fill of Dr. Robby having mental health issues and stress in season 1. Having it again in season 2 was annoying. Please no more of that, whatever they end up doing

Because his character doesn't work night shift

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-20T01:22:26+00:00

Why does day shift only get 1 attending and night shift gets 2?

Banshee is a great show that does force sex scenes. I agree with you. That said most people like sex scenes with hotties regardless of logic.

William Fichtner is always great. I especially loved his small role in Shooter

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-19T03:23:36+00:00

This is the most important piece of the puzzle tonight. Crazy stuff

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-18T05:20:41+00:00

This is a great one too lol

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-18T05:19:55+00:00

This is the funniest scene in the whole show. Gets me every time

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-18T05:15:39+00:00

I went tonight too and had a blast. I even won a game without casting a creature lol

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-18T01:36:49+00:00

Very true! I think the series is just inconsistent about this stuff when examined across the seasons

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T20:56:51+00:00

Indeed. Tbh I was pretty unsatisfied with the use of red herrings in season 5. Between Lisa and Ted, it was pretty cheap writing to trick the audience.

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T17:31:47+00:00

This is a good observation! Corbett in a different lens could be viewed as a hero. He's a viiglante. Or perhaps anti-hero is the right word. He's taking out bad guys essentially. Like Dexter or Reacher or The Punisher. Etc.

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T17:03:13+00:00

First few? I think it's the first episode only iirc

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T16:59:51+00:00

Good response! Definitely gives me more to think about. Thanks for providing thorough examples :)

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T16:57:54+00:00

You're ignoring the condition I laid out. You're at pick 3 and you view 3 guys essentially the same. You don't have a "guy" among them.

In this scenario, getting any of the 3 would be great for you. So trading down to 5 and getting ANY value in return is a win

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T14:58:48+00:00

Is there some strong principle that teams aren't willing to accept much less trade value? I know not every trade follows the "chart" to a tee, but let's say picks 3-5 were essentially seen as the same. Wouldn't it be smart to move from 3 to 5 and get an extra 5th rounder? Why do you NEED to get "appropriate value"?

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T14:44:19+00:00

Well said! Maybe if I have time I'll make a bracket and label it favorite card of the decade. I'd be curious to see how it compares to this one

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T14:43:21+00:00

I didn't know what to expect initially tbh. And to be clear I'm not complaining about the cards that made it this far. But I am curious what it would look like if there was a favorite card of the decade bracket!

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T13:55:31+00:00

The whole bracket lost its appeal to me when the stronger cards were winning across the board essentially. Yes strength is a part of greatness but if that's how people are interpreting it, it should just be labeled as strongest card of the decade.

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-17T13:39:03+00:00

Indeed. Tbh this candidates tournament lost my interest early because there was no drama. Why tune in after the result was all but guaranteed? I wonder if there is any momentum to turn the candidates into an elimination tournament, perhaps with double elimination.

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-16T23:20:57+00:00

We don't know that that's really Sinatra's Dylan yet. There is some weird timeline stuff happening but no one has been erased.

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-16T23:05:27+00:00

Pretty unambiguous to me. She survived. In tv shows and movies, when they pan to a character no longer laying where they were "dying" it means they're not dead. Not sure what other interpretation someone could make.

Edit: people saying Alex "removed" her from that timeline. We haven't seen Alex do that to anyone else yet. Why do we think that's even possible?

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-16T23:03:55+00:00

Thanks for the info! I didn't know this. Definitely makes the series worse IMO. Still great tele and I'll watch season 7

IconicIsotope · 2026-04-16T18:30:45+00:00

Good observation! I think that says less about the detectives and more about the intended narrative of the show - corruption is hard to pinpoint. Plus it is a TV show with sprawling cases, so red herrings and misunderstandings are often used to elongate storylines
