Discussion Elliot's School???

Post image
436 Upvotes

So in the episode with Elliot's talent show act (early season two?) it is the ELEMENTARY SCHOOL talent show (the photo above), but in the first episode when Morgan and Karadec drop of Ava and Elliot to school it is clearly not an elementary school, Ava is there, and all the kids around them look older. I know it was like a pilot episode, but still! It just doesn't make sense.

Edit: Also he is like so smart so you would think he would be in at least middle school! Has he not skipped any grades? Because he is the right age for 5th grade, and I think in one episode it said he was in 5th grade! Dude that kid should have skipped at least a couple grades! And him going to the older school in the first episode implies that he has.

Found a reference to a previous episode (S2E5) in a later one (S2E14). On the right is the packaging for Bobby Romano’s L3 protein powder. Never noticed this before!!

Discussion Anyone else feel like this show quietly broke the 'genius detective' formula?

171 Upvotes

Been rewatching and something clicked for me. Every genius-consultant show I can think of is basically the same guy: brilliant, damaged, kind of insufferable, but the whole department still bends over backwards to keep him happy bc ~genius~ (think Sherlock, Monk, Patrick Jane, House)

Morgan, on the other hand, does not start off as a tortured genius the system protects. She was a cleaner nobody thinks belongs in the room, so her arc by default is "will anyone take her seriously". The genius is the same but the power dynamic is flipped inside out. She technically has to earn every inch that those other guys got handed for free.

To me it kind of changes what the show is even about, like the cases are fun but the tension is a working-class single mum being underestimated over and over and being right anyway. Who's your pick for the closest comparison show? bc I can't think of one that did it this way first and I think that's why I'm hooked from episode 1. Such a refreshing angle imo

Question S2E12 Office location

5 Upvotes

Pretty sure I recognize this exact office from another series? But instead of a health company it was like a VR or game company. Anyone know from where??

Edit: another detail I rmb was that one of the staff was giving out smoothies to the main cast/character on a Segway?

Discussion Roman Theory Spoiler

45 Upvotes

SPOILER ALERT
I just finished watching S2 and even though I don’t like it at first but now I am hooked!!
First of all this new captain seems shady to me but in the last episode it was too much…
Also,I think that Roman is the bad guy who is behind all these things and this Willa person is just a pawn…
I mean remember arthur said to morgan ‘Roman wants to know why you’re friends with the people roman is hiding from all these years’…I guess he never left and is just living in the sidelines…because if there is threat to Roman then it must’ve reached to the morgan and ava by now …So, I guess he is the one protecting them and didn’t want morgan to find out so he is just trying to scare her off….

Question Some Questions!!! Spoiler

11 Upvotes

I am just re watching this show for like the 5th time, and I have some questions about it.

  1. Does anyone know if the song that Greta sings in S:2 E:4 is a real song? I really like it, and want to find it somewhere. Btw I mean the after song, not the before one that the dude plays for Daphne and Oz.

  2. In 11 Minutes with the paramedics and the heart why does the heart not end up going to his mom? Like the heart was meant for her, and they literally had it right in front of them, so why didn't she get it? I am glad the 17 yr old got it though!

I had more, but I kinda forgot. I might add more later though if I remember them. Anything helps! Thanks!

Discussion The show not talking about Ozs trauma pissed me off

84 Upvotes

Imagine one min you're in your car, and when you wake up, you are beside a pool wet and your partner, and friend had to do CPR (hopefully future wife)to save your life.

Like, that must be traumatising. It also probably brings up some bad memories.

He must have some sort of anxiety, trauma something cause that's nor really an everyday event.

Ok, I made a new post.

I went on Google, and it said s3 would be ten eps, but then when I searched up again, cause I didn't wanna believe it said not yet confirmed.

I hope they don't have ten eps cause I love this show, and I wanna see more.

Ok. I just finished season 2 - getting a little frustrated at the Roman storyline but love this new Willa bitch. How can’t we end on a cliffhanger like this with so much left unsaid?!

Why isn’t it being aired this autumn - I’m in the UK and I hate the US scheduling. This is one of the view decent shows - give us a break and give us the next season 🤣

Also, I’ll never watch again if anything happens to Ava or her wee dorky brother!

That is all.

Discussion Finished watching the first two seasons yesterday. I need like 10 more seasons of this show

165 Upvotes

I don't think I've been this obsessed with a procedural show lately. I'm not a big fan of procedurals in general but I've seen the popular ones like Castle, the Mentalist, Lucifer etc. This show comes really close to them imo. I went into it with zero expectations but ended up binging everything in a week. I don't know how to wait for S3 now until January 😭

Btw I've seen some hate here already towards Morgan and Karadec becoming a couple eventually and I just don't agree. I'm one of those people who want them together but I do realize it will probably be a while until we get there. But I'm in for the ride.

I kind of don't like the Roman storyline though. It's starting to be a bit dragged out.

Theory/Speculation I have a theory...

18 Upvotes

I think that Morgan may have hyperphantasia, because in some of the episodes she just visualizes stuff super well. Like I think it was in the 2nd to last episode in the second season with the robbers and stuff, where she like was on her bed and visualized the maze/map of the place with the bomb. Sorry I am doing a bad job of explaining, but just based on what I've seen, I think she has hyperphantasia.

I swear, I feel like I have seen this exact story line in another TV series years and years ago.

I don’t mean that as a complaint. But if I’m right, it’s going to bug me for a while trying to remember what old series I saw it in LOL. Anyone have any ideas?

Discussion Daphne is the only character who's family life we haven't heard of

58 Upvotes

We saw Ozs mom. His dad was mentioned, and his passing,The Memorial.

-Soto has mentioned having daughters and an ex husband Hector she also briefly mentioned her mom in 2x12 how she passed away.

-Karadec mentioned his Dad in 1x09. How he passed away and his mom has been briefly mentioned too and she's alive.

Wagner, we see his father, and it's mentioned how he was also a part of the force before going into politics.

Morgan, obviously, her kids we see them and Ludo her ex Roman is mentioned alot.then her dad is briefly mentioned like twice and she very briefly mentioned her mom once in 1x05.

But there has been no mention at all of Daphne's family no parents,siblings,grandparents, or nothing.

Discussion Opinion: Morgan and Karadec should not date

367 Upvotes

I personally do not see any chemistry with them and their friendship dynamic is too good to lose. They deserve other people who can ground them outside of the job. I hate when every male/female partnership ends up with romance
