Does ‘Drone Ryan Seacrest’ Haunt You? Was CNN’s LSD Reveal Trippy? Will Squid Game Swan Song Be Short? Spot Outlander Easter Egg? More Qs!
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 Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Squid Game, Landman, Skeleton Crew and more!
1 | Catching up on the Netflix movie Carry-On…. You mean to tell us that no one (especially eagle-eyed Dean Norris) noticed Taron Egerton continually “talking to himself” while on duty? And have you ever seen a TSA officer just step away from their machine for indeterminate lengths of time, with no one standing by to take over? (On a busy Christmas Eve?!)

2 | Watching last week’s college bowl games, did anyone dare to take a drink every time the “transfer portal” was mentioned?
3 | Squid Game Season 1 was nine episodes, Season 2 had seven…. Does anyone else have a sneaking suspicious the final season will be even fewer? Also, how’s this for a wild theory: No-eul aka Soldier 011 is secretly in alliance with Gi-hun, by compromising the games’ organ-harvesting revenue stream? ▼
4 | How is Silo’s Knox keeping his ‘do so high and perfectly tight amidst a rebellion? ▼ (Seems like the good barbers would be in the mids.) And if you read the books, do you suspect viewers will be underwhelmed by the reason Solo disappeared?
5 | Which animation style do you prefer, having now seen them stream “side-by-side” — What If…? or Creature Commandos? And returning to the topic of What If…?’s WTF final season, could it be that the directive after Season 1 was, “Stop making stories that are more interesting than Phases 4/5 of the live-action MCU”?
6 | Is Landman viewer/TVLine reader Todd onto something? “I wonder if Jon Hamm only signed on for the first season, and by showing [Monty] has serious health problems, he dies and Demi [Moore’s] character has to take over in the second season.”
7 | What are the chances that Diplo sharing that he microdosed before appearing on CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live put some dangerous thoughts in Andy Cohen’s head re: the annual special’s next broadcast? And was Roy Wood Jr. joking that “the last Black man that drank on this network got fired” — as in Don Lemon — funnier than anything Whitney Cummings said during her “roast” segment?
8 | Was any NY/NJ resident not tuned into Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve traumatized to look out their window and see Drone Ryan Seacrest in the sky? ▲ Were you feeling for Renée Rapp’s back as she bent over to duet “You Oughta Know” with 5-foot-4 Alanis Morissette? And was anyone else waiting for Seacrest to acknowledge Boy Meets World alum Matthew Lawrence — aka Chilli’s boyfriend — who was standing alongside TLC and Carrie Underwood during the ball drop? ▼
9 | Given Bryce Dallas Howard’s latest excellent directorial outing, Skeleton Crew‘s “Zero Friends Again” episode, can we please give her a Star Wars movie already?
10 | How much did Creature Commandos‘ pre-nuke Dr. Phosphorous look like voice actor Alan Tudyk in this scene? ▼
11 | The Sex Lives of College Girls viewers, now that we’re halfway through the season, how are you feeling about the revamped cast/new characters?
12 | Are you disappointed that Animal Control (seemingly?) wrote out Sarah Chalke’s Yazmin so soon?
13 | Would Going Dutch‘s Quinn really not know where his daughter Maggie was stationed, even if they hadn’t spoken in a while? And are you hoping to see more of The Office‘s Catherine Tate as local brothel proprietor Katja?
14 | Did this week’s Outlander, in which mold from a French roquefort was used as a makeshift antibiotic, give you a new respect for stinky cheeses? And did anyone else blink and miss that Jamie and Claire are both represented in this depiction of the Battle of Monmouth ▼ and that Frank and Brianna are the father and daughter viewing it in a museum during the episode’s title sequence?
15 | Was “Stayin’ Alive” Santa Claus John Travolta the most-overplayed TV commercial on this holiday season? ▼
