ok taking it out of tags bc i keep seeing “WHY would they cut that!!” — honestly? it’s more than likely just a contracted screen time thing. because i guarantee no one looked at that scene and was like “hmmm. not important enough” and tossed it on the chopping block. it’s a good scene! clearly they think it’s a good scene if they released it anyway!
sorry to bring a production perspective to the storytelling zone, but it was only a ten episode run. they haven’t done one that short since the pilot season, and there are so many more characters now, FULLY established characters. plus, at the end of the day: it’s a job. certain actors are contracted for certain types and amounts of screen time and, no matter what they film, that has to be fulfilled in the final cut 🤷
i also desperately wish they could have kept it in the show, it was such a great moment! but i promise it is sooooo not that serious. and tbh im glad to be getting the bonus scenes that they obviously wished they’d been able to include!
#it was just a poorly paced season 🤷#but i can pretty confidently say that network and contracts had a hand in that#like obviously criticism where criticism is due#the fumbled a few things pretty hard#but it was weird circumstances so of course it was going to be a weird season#like i said in other tags i think the bonus scenes are just a way of bridging that gap between what they could show and what they wanted to#angela bassett i love you but your cop needs less plot <3#but yeah.#that’s my two cents#it’s all okay i promise#anyways i think we just got confirmation that s8 will be a full 18 so! rejoice!#iinryer post
