Lethal Weapon creator on whether tonight’s episode could be a series finale

It’s been a long and arduous journey to tonight’s season finale of Lethal Weapon on Fox — and it’s not clear whether the show will survive another year after so many high-profile disruptions. (So long Clayne Crawford! Welcome to the show, Sean William Scott! Are you leaving, Damon Wayans?) We asked Creator/Showrunner Matt Miller to tease tonight’s episode and whether it could serve as a series finale if Fox decides not to order a fourth season.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What can viewers expect from tonight’s episode?
MATT MILLER: This episode is hands down the biggest we’ve ever done from a production and stunt perspective.  We knew from the beginning of the season that we were going to frame our season finale around Natalie’s [Maggie Lawson] wedding, and I had the image in my head of Natalie, walking down the aisle in a tattered dress and bare feet. It’s a big, fun, action-packed episode that plays into all the genres we like to explore — action; drama; comedy and heart.

Did you know you wanted to go out with a bang, quite literally?
The final set piece when Cole and Natalie jump out of a 33-story building was something we came up with in the writer’s room as a place holder. We figured that eventually we would have to rein it in and come up with something much smaller and more produce-able.  But our amazing crew and stunt coordinator Tim Trella came up with a way to do it combining real stunt performers jumping out the window. The actors doing the stunt on the Warners lot against green screen and visual effects lending a hand. It wasn’t until I was on set and we were really doing the stunt did it occur to me, we forgot to rein it in.

Do you feel the ending has a cliffhanger element? Or are you happy with it if it ends up being the series finale?
The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, less so than in the previous 2 seasons, but it’s definitely a launch to where we want to go in season 4.  Since we’ve already mapped out in detail what season 4 looks like, it will definitely be a bummer if we don’t get to tell that story.

The third season finale of Lethal Weapon airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

For the Coalition, holding on means no more alienating the progressive vote

Internally, the prevailing view was to not to rush to an election like Gillard and be stomped, but to spend some time defining himself and his new policy agenda. So he hesitated and spent the summer and the new year formulating an innovation agenda and dithering over big ideas for tax reform, including increasing the GST and giving the states income taxing powers. None of the tax ideas came to pass. In the end, there was a messy process involving a prorogued Parliament, a double dissolution election called on the back of a contentious budget and an arduous eight-week campaign. The government was reduced to a one-seat majority and Turnbull’s authority was forever diminished. The election was to be this Saturday Last year, Turnbull resisted any overtures to call an election before Christmas. He felt he should go as near to a full term as possible. First, he needed time and, second, he feared the public would punish him for going early. Turnbull, as we now know, had settled on March...

Top Quotes from Antonio Brown, Anthony Davis, LeBron James on ‘The Shop’

Image
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Two of the biggest and most disgruntled stars in sports were given a new forum to discuss the situation with their current teams.  Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans and Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers joined LeBron James on Friday’s episode of  The Shop , and they got into what they believe is an unfair representation of who they are.  According to  Jason La Canfora   of CBS Sports,  Brown got in an argument with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger during practice, which led to his benching  in Week 17. Brown requested a trade from the Steelers on Feb. 12. The seven-time Pro Bowler tweeted  a week later, after a meeting with Steelers president Art Rooney II, that both sides agreed to move on. “That’s the narrative they try to create once you doing your own thing,” Brown said regarding reports of drama in the Pittsburgh locker room. “It’s like, this guy’s a distraction. He’s this type of ...
