[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 283546, member: 27"] They've filmed a two-part "cast reunion" to air for the next two Tuesdays, but I'm unsure of when it was filmed. Ads for the special had footage of the cast (minus John Schneider) onstage with an Oprah-style moderator and audience. The ads were airing before the finale aired, which leads me to think it was shot a few weeks earlier (owing to time needed for editing/post-production). If so, it will have a very different audience. Reactions to the finale were almost universal disappointment among fans of the show, but up to that point the show enjoyed a small but loyal fandom. An audience from three weeks ago, for example would have a much different temperament than an audience from three DAYS ago. I could see rotten vegetables being thrown. ;) And yet, if it was filmed three[I] weeks[/I] ago it will feel sort of artificial, since all the audience members will be gushing about looking forward to seeing how it all ends when the home viewer knows these people's excitement will be dampened later on. Also, if it was filmed before the finale aired, it would be funny to see some of the cast members try to be low-key while tempering the expectations of the audience, since they might know what is about to air and know it won't go over well. Then again, a lot of the material in the finale that was seemingly added in at the last minute must have been done with a combination of stand-ins, stunt people, and some limited re-shoots with the actors--so the actors might actually [B]not[/B] have known just how it would be edited and 'sweetened' with material filmed when they weren't even there. So it will be interesting to know just how much the actors knew about how it would turn out. Feelings on the finale aside, I hope they will enlighten us a bit more about how they filmed the show. How long ago was the series wrapped? Was the series completed during Covid lockdowns? I've heard very interesting stories of how they worked around this, and how quickly they completed batches of episodes. In the ads for the special, Aaron O'Connell appeared to have a ponytail, so enough time has passed for him to grow his hair out. I assume Schneider was unavailable due to having some acting job elsewhere, which is a pity because I would love to hear how he felt getting to play such a hard-core jerk (against his image).
