I just watched the first episode on Ballard, the new sequel to Bosch. 
The producers had telegraphed that Bosch would pop up on occasion on 
Ballard so I thought I should mention that the name Harry Bosch was 
indeed spoken out loud at the end of the Ballard pilot, suggesting we 
will see Harry at some point. (To be fair, they showed some previews of 
the rest of the season and those scenes didn't show Bosch so maybe we 
won't see a lot of him. Or maybe they didn't want to dangle him in front 
of us too much for fear of making him look like a crutch for Renee 
Ballard.)

In any case, the pilot was pretty watchable so I'll stay with it even if 
Bosch doesn't appear very frequently.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of a police unit that 
is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, retirees, and interns yet 
still has powers of arrest. I have no idea if that is realistic and 
would be curious to know if it is.
