Ok so probably I’m the only one but I’m quite pissed that we know about Jesse’s departure before this season even starts. Now I’m just waiting for his last episode - where is the element of surprise? I know that they are filming in real places and people can watch it and that itself ruins surprise but still! Do we really have to know about that kind of stuff earlier? I was thinking about Jesse Spencer - how emotional that was because we didn’t know earlier! Yes, we had clues but nothing was confirmed and we could discuss, we had so many theories and when his final episodes aired it was heartbreaking and shocking- but it’s how it supposed to be! One of the reasons I think GoT was so popular was the element of shock and uncertainty- but now Chicago PD robbed us of it. Seriously, we know he’s leaving and now it’s just waiting game… and I really feel cheated by, it would have been so much impactful and emotional if we find out about his departure while watching a show, not by reading an article (and to be honest, it’s getting so annoying that almost every time an actor decided to leave or a show runner decided to kill a certain character we know about if way before an episode is airing…)
I'm the kind of person who prefers knowing if an actor is leaving before hand. If it's a minor/supporting character, not as much because then I like that surprise that you talked about, but if it's a main character, I prefer knowing so then I can mentally prepare myself.
I also, especially more as I get older, can't cope with shows that have that uncertainty, just because it hurts my heart too much and I get too anxious. Really, I think I was ruined circa 2015(?) by a British soap lol (there was a point in time several people were killed in one year, it was a Lot).
But I most definitely get where you are coming from, and that I do agree it ruins a lot of the shock value of his final episode. And as much as I love knowing these things before, I'm actually of the opinion that these things shouldn't be announced, at least not nearly as often as they are. I think with social media and fandom being such a big thing, a lot of surprises like this gets ruined (just bc information can get spread quickly, and because people who intentionally seeks out this information can be cavalier when talking about it and thus spoiling others who didn't want to be) so shows tends to announce this information themselves so they don't have to worry about if they'll keep the shock under wraps.
Personally, I didn't find JS's final episode emotional. I got emotional because I'm a sentimental sap who gets emotional at nearly everything, but the episode itself didn't do it for me-- And I think a lot of that was because I didn't know beforehand, so I literally didn't think he was actually going until the episode finished. And I think if I didn't know about JLS leaving that might be the same with him, especially as unlike Matt, Jay tends to irk me as a character. Whereas now however he might leave, I can truly appreciate the farewell it will be to his character because I know it will be, and as I have an unfortunate strong feeling he may go throughout death, that means I'll be able to appreciate that better.
But yeah, in general, I do agree with you. Announcing this, especially this early, was a bad decision. I don't know why they did-- if it's just because shows have stopped caring about that shock factor, or to try and take some backlash of the Kelli Giddish situation (which any foresight would tell you is a bad idea) or another reason, but it definitely has meant that a lot of people will just be waiting for the episode now.
I'm sorry you got cheated of the shock and emotions of a surprise exit. 💖

i love murder mysteries that don't try too hard. realism who cares about realism, a billionaire was murdered in a swimming pool and diamonds are hiding in the champagne ice bucket. here's an abundance of clues, we got initialed handkerchiefs and smashed wristwatches galore, they're all red herrings but gosh they're fun to decorate with. alibis, no one has an alibi, or everyone does and they're all about to tumble like a house of cards, don't overthink it. you want to GUESS the murderer? FUCK OFF, we'll get there when we get there, just enjoy the ride you hussy!!! provides a nice alternative to true crime's voyeuristic "this normal real-life woman you never met was brutally murdered and the guy who did it will never be caught or punished"

As I listened, I felt somewhat sweet, sad and nostalgic. "Everybody is busy living."
I felt a strange loneliness at the end of the story. I see. Everyone was living well.
[The exclusive skill 'Fourth Wall' is shaking.]
I realized that I was an 'outsider' of this story.
「 The 25th regression Yoo Joonghyuk said, 'I can't change anything'. 」
Without me, people were still continuing the scenarios. Just like Yoo Joonghyuk repeated the regressions. The 4th, 5th, 6th rounds… it led to an endless story where I could be easily forgotten. Meanwhile, people would move towards the ending. It was natural. It might be natural but I felt pained at the reminder.
I bit my lips and tried to say something. I'm glad. The words didn't emerge from my mouth. Then I heard Yoo Joonghyuk's voice. "In addition, everyone is telling your story."
I slowly raised my head at the words. Yoo Joonghyuk's face was still expressionless. "They say it a lot. Your story."
I smiled slightly while covering my eyes with both hands. I didn't appear so on the surface but I wanted to say that I was smiling. In the small darkness created with both hands, Yoo Joonghyuk's voice was heard again as he drank tea.
"Let's go back to Earth, Kim Dokja."
Joonghyuk noticed he was upset and knew exactly what to say to make him feel better without Dokja even saying what was bothering him. 🥲
