We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about The Bachelorette, SEAL Team, Industry, the prolific Ryan Murphy and more!
1 | Just three episodes into this final season, is SEAL Team dialogue feeling awfully repetitive? Jason and Mandy have had the same talk about three times so far; ditto Bravo vs. lone wolf Drew, and Sonny/Davis/the whole “discreet” thing. (What, can colleagues not talk to each other in a workplace hallway?) Also, is toasting “the new era of warfare” and talking about your “op” in the middle of a Thai bar with your military-looking, fellow American bros — immediately after some suspicious happenings down at the docks — really in keeping with a “zero footprint”?
2 | How, exactly, would Industry’s Henry Muck be able to scrub that photo of Yasmin entirely from the Internet, once it’s already out there? Doesn’t he know people can “right-click and save”?
3 | Couldn’t Snowpiercer’s Ben have at least wrapped a scarf around his face, to have a fraction more of a fighting chance? ▼ Also, did you cheer or groan when Wilford showed up, alive?
4 | For all the fanfare about music rights finally being settled to get Homicide: Life on the Street streaming, are you surprised by how many songs (“Hurt,” “Feels Like Rain,” “I’ll Stand By You,” “Ain’t My Bitch,” to name only a few) are missing?
5 | Are you a little worried for The Bachelorette’s Jenn, with all three of her remaining men ▼ expressing reservations about her in the preview for next week’s fantasy suites?
6 | Did DJ Cassidy overseeing Tuesday night’s DNC roll call — complete with Lil Jon and Spike Lee cameos (on behalf of Georgia and New York) — make the necessary but usually tedious process actually very fun this year?
7 | “Name a month when leaves start to change color.” “May…?” Was the WWE-themed Celebrity Family Feud one of this week’s/month’s tougher watches? ▼
8 | Did MasterChef’s Arthur really deserve to go home for mismanaging an outdoor barbecue? (These chefs aren’t competing to run Hell’s Kitchen, after all.)
9 | Which of The Challenge 40‘s eight eliminations was the toughest to take as a viewer? And which era are you rooting for?
10 | We all saw the news coming that Olympic breakout Stephen Nedoroscik is going to be on Dancing With the Stars, right?
11 | When Morris Chestnut’s character sauntered into the law firm during Reasonable Doubt’s Season 2 premiere, were you also swooning a bit?
12 | Are That ’90s Show viewers supposed to believe that Jay’s best bud Nate never met his half-sister Betsy, who also lives in Point Place? And what exactly does Donna do for a living that would require her to continue to live in Chicago while Leia remains in Point Place and Eric is 2,000+ miles away, at Skywalker Ranch? Didn’t the pilot establish that she’s a book author?
13 | Who wants to tell Jimmy Fallon — who turns 50 in a few weeks — that bits like this are starting to feel a bit creepy? ▼
14 | TNT investing in original dramas again, USA Network filming a series adaptation of John Grisham’s The Rainmaker…. Did we step into a time machine?!
15 | Has it occurred to anyone else that Ryan Murphy has four new shows — American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez (Sept. 17, FX), Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (Sept. 19, Netflix), Grotesquerie (Sept. 25, FX) and Doctor Odyssey (Sept. 26, ABC) — premiering in the span of nine days next month? That must be some kind of record… right?
16 | Anyone else suddenly contemplating a Scandal rewatch?

17 | You think MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff — who was darting around the DNC convention floor Thursday night as if Beyoncé’s arrival was a foregone conclusion — woke up feeling pretty embarrassed this morning?
18 | What was the point of The Daily Show taking the show to Chicago this week, only to pre-tape Monday-Wednesday? They were recapping the previous night’s DNC speeches after the following night’s speeches had already aired!
