^ ITA. Midseason is too long. The only way it could work is if they count these 7 episodes as an introductory mini-series and then re-launch the whole show as kind of a new thing again next year. But I don't want them to do that.

**swedish_girl80** · 05-18-2009, 10:35 AM

Yeah

**LoveBEN** · 05-19-2009, 08:55 AM

I kind of wish it was a mid season now

being is it going to be on Friday nights.

Have you seen Michael's Twitter? Do you think it sounds like they might be filming more stuff?

**swedish_girl80** · 05-19-2009, 09:47 AM

Yeah I saw that too hopefully they will

callieUK · 05-19-2009, 11:37 PM

From Michael's latest updates he and Ben have definitely been together and doing something work-related. Or, they've both taken to the shooting stuff and joined a gun club.

And they were in unifrom doing whatever they were doing. I hope he elaborates on what they were up to.

**LoveBEN** · 05-20-2009, 05:26 AM

I thought that maybe they just hang out as friends but if they were in uniforms they were definitely working! Maybe they did some clip to promote the show

**swedish_girl80** · 05-20-2009, 05:36 AM

Or they added some more scenes or changed something

callieUK · 05-20-2009, 06:55 AM

It's kind of weird that Michael talked about training. Maybe they were doing a few more ride-alongs or something.

alluxera · 05-20-2009, 03:01 PM

I think they probably have made some last minute changes.

Maybe because of the audience responses.

But will they do with their uniform?

Did you guys listen to the interview Ben and Michael gave to blogtalk radio? I liked how Michael described the Ben/Daisy scene. He said that the first time they lay in bed together Ben feels its not right and you can tell how reserve he is in the scene, and then Ben said something about how Ben and Daisy are both really lonely.

I know some of you didn’t like Daisy, did you change your mind a bit after hearing the interview?

Just guessing, but I am kind of wondering if they are training with the actual LAPD right now to keep their fitness levels up, and maybe they wear some of the gear while they do it, because they have to be able to run and climb things and other stuff with guns, radios and whatever else on them. It's only going to be a couple of months till they report back for filming and Ben/Michael probably want to maintain their fitness levels during that time. Who knows?

Yes, I heard the interview. It was a really good one, and nice to have an interviewer who obviously watches and likes the show and doesn't ask stupid questions. It hasn't really changed my mind about Daisy, but I do understand a bit more what she is supposed to be there for, although I don't think that really came across well in the episode. You could tell Ben's lonely, but I didn't pick that up from her particularly. I think Ben and Michael might have been told to talk the character up a bit because I am sure NBC know from the message boards that she wasn't especially popular. But I will keep an open mind for tonight's episode and see what happens.

**swedish_girl80** · 05-21-2009, 10:22 AM

It was very good background about Daisy

**LoveBEN** · 05-22-2009, 08:28 AM

I was not happy with the cliffhanger for the season finale.

I really don’t care about Russell.

I felt sad for Ben; I wish he got a happier ending.

Any speculation to what the next season will bring?
