- Why is Dan wanting so desperately to 'go home' to Louisiana? He likely hasn't lived there for around 50 years at this point, and anybody he might have known or cared about is likely long gone. For that matter, is Dan qualified to be a judge in Louisiana?
- Dan is probably feeling homesick and felt he should revisit his roots since he's old now. That's my take on it, though.
- Yep, pretty much. He got over it fast, though, given the number of deceased friends he was called upon to scatter their ashes In Memoriam.

- Do you think the revival will give us a update of Mac, Christine and Bull? It would be nice if they revealed how Mac, Christine and Bull are doing these days, especially since their actors are gone. note I know they haven’t mentioned them yet.
- Perhaps Mac's daughter (let the call go out now for a half-black/half-Asian actress in her thirties), who hasn't been to the courtroom since she was a baby, could pay a visit? Her dad has passed, but her mother Quon Le
is still living. Christine's son could show up as well. - The Season 2 finale revealed that Christine passed away but didn't provide specifics.

- When did Dan become anti-social? He was always a bit of a cynic when it came to people, but he was always willing to mix and mingle (granted, more sparingly with his coworkers). But now he's portrayed as trying to avoid people as much as possible.
- Not sure when exactly, but age and grief is the answer to why. It seemed he was genuinely happy with his late wife, but she died, and all the people he once had genuine connections with were either dead or no longer in contact with him. His outright disdain for people grew from his cynicism, which might have been tempered when with his wife but will likely always be a core part of his personality to some extent, his loneliness, and the fact he had no solid emotional connections with other people any longer. It's possible there's also some guilt and potentially even some self-loathing mixed in that prevents him from trying to establish new connections; his wife, Harry, and possibly other characters from the original series died, and even though it wasn't his fault in any way, this could have exacerbated his cynicism in an unhealthy way, these good people who genuinely tried to make the world a better place are gone, but someone like me is still standing.
- Did Harry give up practicing law to marry Gina (Abby's mother)? In "Blood Moon Binga", Abby (unaware of her mother's history at the moment) said, "You never saw dad as a judge." And when Abby talks about Harry, she tends to refer to him as a magician, not a judge. Would marrying the very same woman he convicted be a problem in terms of continuing a legal career?
