November 20th 2016’s Episode

I might have started this blog too soon. What do I mean by that? Well, I started it as a result of the time delay being a bit different on one affiliate than it was on the other. I found out later that this just might be a standard difference between the two affiliates. But, I have this blog now and can only hope that the real thing I was waiting for ends up happening at some point in time.

Since I started this blog since it airs after Madam Secretary, you might be wondering if I did that before with any other shows. Well, I have a blog about The Good Wife. Since the show is over, you might be wondering what the purpose of the blog is now. Basically, now I just use it to update the readers about what the cast of the show is doing now.

I do not know how this show would go over with the people I can only best call the Holmes purists. This show has done a lot of changes with the classic stories, notable ones being changing Watson to a woman and combining the characters of Irene Adler and Moriarty. I don’t know that much about classic Holmes, but I might have to change that.

I promise that when this show ends, I will start reading The Hound of the Baskervilles since I have the book and haven’t read it yet (among other books I have). This show may end this season, to be honest, and its timeslot is the worst in all of television. The ratings are doing bad so I don’t have high hopes for it. I would say that it would be bear chow, but TV grim reaper is the main person now who has all the rating info and guesses as to what shows will get cancelled which season. Once I finish reading the book, I will post a review of it in this blog.

Since there are no ABC shows for me to record tonight, I will probably be live watching this for a change and I’ll be able to schedule this post for Thursday. I hope that there’s not a new episode next week since I’d probably wind up missing it without watching it later online. At least I won’t have to worry about watching the episode on time, then I’ll know that I’ll have the blog ready on time. Last week, I wasn’t able to see the episode until the Thursday I posted it here.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 46 minute delay. We begin with Watson and her sister, I believe. She talks about possible gang related activity. We then get to people who are about to jump off a building. As one of them falls, he gets shot. Sherlock and Marcus (the black guy) are there at the crime scene investigating the murder. Sherlock notices that the parachute was doomed to fail. Why would two different people want to kill him? He was murdered twice, like the dead guy in Godsford Park, a movie with a similar premise that I do not recommend.

Act two has people talking about the murder to the wife of the victim. She gives details which imply that she was not responsible, although when is the first interrogated suspect ever the killer? A person doesn’t want to be found, but Sherlock thinks that he will be soon. They talk to suspect number two. He explains why he was hiding; he thought that the killer was coming after him too. Suspect number three, the woman suspect number two thinks would be after him, is talked to and she explains why she didn’t do it either. The killer had a regret and Sherlock seeks to find what it is. When he and Watson learn of a scam that the victim was in on, they look into who else knew about it.

Act three is when they talk to someone about the missing money scam or whatever. Will this ruffle feathers or rustle feathers? Watson talks to someone about the case, I think, but he claims that, as usual, the victim had something to hide. I’ve already lost track on what number suspect we are on. Sorry about that. The victim had a loan that he gave to someone or the other way around. I’m losing track of the show, but recording this has its own problems as well.

Sherlock finds a cargo hold and learns that they were smuggling illegal immigrants. Someone tell Trump that this (well, maybe not this illegal method) is how 48% of illegals get into this country. Normally, they just overstay visas. They come to visit and never leave. Anyways, an important picture is revealed. Also, when you watch shows, is there an annoying person who talks during it? The person isn’t watching the show, but is trying to talk to you or just to themselves.

Act four has yet another suspect in the case being investigated. The mysterious black guy is brought up again. I forget who he is and don’t think that I saw his introduction to the show. Sherlock plays chess with this guy for some odd reason. There are even more suspects that are brought up on the show. Have we gotten to the double digits yet? A foreigner is the person they are talking to. I do wonder if they could do two separate arrests since the person was murdered twice after all.

I can’t even keep track of all these suspects so I might have to just go back to whoever is charged with the crime. They do find a person who confesses, but he’s not actually the person who did anything wrong. That person is the father of the wife of the victim. The wife then says that he was cheating on her and she tearfully confesses to the sabotaged chute. Sherlock then uses this to go after the possible sniper before he strikes again. How does he do that?

Act five has the foreign people interrogated again. It might have been an honor killing that happened, although I don’t fully understand what that is. It appears that the sniper would go after the mistress as well in addition to the man who cheated. They are able to catch this man, the child of the foreigners. Watson then goes back to talk to someone from earlier that I don’t fully understand. He seems kind of intimidating in a way. I can’t tell if he means to do this or not.

On the next Elementary, a food case is brought up. Someone might have died from food. That person may have also been turned into food. And you thought that horse meat was bad. I don’t think that I’m going to like the next episode. I just hope that I can see it in good time, although I won’t have to by Thursday. Keep in mind that I will be moving this blog to alternating Sundays in the future, although I will putting this back to Thursdays by year’s end. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

November 13th 2016’s Episode

In case you were wondering what happened to last week’s blog post about the newest episode of this show, it was something that I isolated to VHS tape and will probably not be caught up on in a while. This means that there are at least two episodes from this season that I have yet to see all of and haven’t actually blogged about as a result. These should come at some point in the future.

There is a minor problem that I have noticed since starting this new sixth blog. When I get to the main update place for the blogs that I have, only five show up. This means that whatever the sixth blog is that has been without an update the longest doesn’t show up as an option. At first, I thought that it could be a huge problem. But then I noticed that it has an easy solution as I can just click a button on the blog list and the sixth one will show up. Hopefully the problem is this easy to solve if I add any other blogs.

I’ve mentioned before that I have a blog about Survivor. I figured that I might as well mention that since it could and probably will affect future updates of this blog. You see, while I’m able to update my Survivor blog every Wednesday during normal circumstances, during Advent and Lent, I am not able to see it live and delay the blog to Thursdays instead.

Since I’m updating this blog on Thursdays, this would mean that I would have to delay when I post this blog. The plan is to post it on either Thursdays on Sundays so I guess that I would post whatever I can on the next available Sunday. While I am posting my Madam Secretary blog on most Sundays now, I could alternate when I post them. Sadly, I will probably not be able to post the newest episode on those Sundays. But if there is a new episode of this on a Sunday and I post this blog on a Sunday, then I will probably post another blog post the next available Sunday (not certain to be the exact next Sunday). I plan on updating this at a bare minimum of once a month. I just hope that there’s enough for me to update you on in case I’m not caught up on episodes somehow.

If you don’t see a blog post here on Thursday, then it means one of two things: one- I have not seen the most recent episode yet, but I have it recorded on VHS or two- my Survivor blog is being updated on that day instead. If any post of this blog is on Sundays, it will probably be the previous week’s episode, or at least some episode that I’m behind on and haven’t posted yet. Sundays will alternate with another blog until Thursdays are open for me to blog about here again.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a recap involving the autistic woman that Sherlock loves. There is then a chef at a restaurant who bleeds from the eyes. The black man whose name I can’t remember testifies at court and may have perjured himself. Sherlock and the autistic woman Skype and she suggests that they met up in New Jersey in an area that is about halfway between New York City and Philadelphia, where she currently lives. As Sherlock investigates the murder of the chef, he thinks that there are more murders going on.

Act two has more investigation into the case. The black guy mentions his possible error to Sherlock and they work to solve it. Sherlock thinks that he’s identified all the people who might be causing the mass poisonings. They are all out of the ordinary.

Act three has a whole bunch of stuff in it. The black guy and Sherlock might have resolved the problem that the black guy had when Sherlock accepts the blame for it for some odd reason. Sherlock contemplates love and how he used to love Irene. But Watson points out that Irene was bad for him. At the place they are investigating stuff at, which may or may not be a bank, Sherlock realizes that there is more valuable stuff there than just money and that’s when they noticed that painting are missing. He thinks that an art heist is happening. How does this relate to the murdered chef?

Act four is when the news airs a fake story about the stolen paintings being recovered, when, in fact, these are forgeries that are recovered to make it seem like the real ones were. Sherlock wants to break up with his girlfriend for reasons that I don’t understand. I like her so don’t get rid of her. Watson finds a new dead body and Sherlock notices that a snake is nearby that could poison her.

Act five ignores the snake situation and just goes to the next scene. The team is able to figure out who the killer is. He worked up an immunity to snake venom. Fiona, the autistic woman that Sherlock is dating, has a scheduled video chat with Sherlock, but Sherlock ignores her. I wonder why he is doing that. It isn’t nice behavior. Don't do that!

On the next Elementary, it’s a case of someone who was killed twice as a faulty parachute combined with being shot on his way down results in his death. I don’t know yet if there will be complications with me regarding being able to watch this episode and post about it in time. Hopefully I can, but I won’t know for sure. If you are missing a post on Thursday, then it was either on tape delay, or I couldn’t watch a laptop recording on time. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

October 30th 2016’s Episode

Hello, my name is Adam Decker and I’m starting a blog about Elementary. Just to be clear, this is a blog about the TV show Elementary. It’s not a blog about elementary school as I am not in elementary school, nor do I have kids, and I don’t teach elementary school either. If I ever do have kids, I might blog about their school life. But we’ll see what happens with that for sure.

You might be wondering how or why I got into this show and why I’ve decided to start a blog about it. Well, I can proudly say that I have been watching this show, for the most part, since the very first episode. Now I haven’t actually seen every episode of the show, but from this point forward, I will do that so I can blog about it.

The reason that I started this blog relates to a different blog about the show Madam Secretary, which airs before this show. There was a football game that was on a slight tape delay and this continued into when the show aired. While I do not think that the delay was that different, it was different enough to put the show on at slightly different times in my region. Since there was two different delays, I decided that the next episode will the official start of the blog, but only if there is no delay on either CBS affiliate of mine. Well, there wasn’t so this will be the official start of the blog. You will see last week’s episode posted later.

When it comes to when I should update this blog, it would be ideal for me to update it when it airs. But I can’t do that. That would work if I were able to live blog this, but I’m not under most circumstances. Now this show used to air on Thursdays, so I might make it so that I update it every Thursday. But that could be a problem come December. I’ll tell you more about that later. I also can’t promise that this blog will be up to date as I tend to get behind with blog posts that I do.

While I will probably be updating my Madam Secretary blog on Sundays, I will probably move posts of this blog to Sundays on days when I can’t do posts on Thursdays. I’m behind on updating that blog, but I’m working on fixing that. Basically, starting from when a new month starts, I will update my Madam Secretary blog every Sunday there is a new episode even though it won’t be about that new episode. Whenever the next Sunday happens where they don’t air a new episode, I’ll still update the blog, but then any future Sundays that month will not have to be covered. Such it will go every month there are new episodes.

With this blog, I will probably start with updating it every Thursday, but since some episodes will be on tape instead of a TV tuner (or watched live), this may not be able to update every Thursday as a result and if for any reason I have to update a different blog on Thursdays (more on that later), then I’ll just wait to update whatever blog I can the next available Thursday or Sunday. Sorry if this is confusing.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with an associate of Sherlock holding a bowl of water. This is to prove a point regarding a murder that’s being investigated. I can’t gather much from the first scene just yet. We then go to a trashed apartment as a person complains about a mess. We then see something sticking out of a wall which is connected to a weapon from a dead body from the other side of the wall. Pretty weird, but what I'm used to on this show.

Act two has Sherlock and his team investigating the new dead body. We also learn now what Sherlock say his supervising officer dealing with potential award given to them. Watson talks to a woman about part of the case. The team is lead to a cabin where they investigate more of the case.

Act three is when we learn more about a potential asteroid problem being the motive behind the murder. Thus, the team investigates more at a space place. They also find a thumb drive or thingy like it in a wall somewhere that they use for more information relating to the case. It also appears that Watson may have done something bad or been blamed at least for messing with the case in some way.

Act four has Sherlock talking to Watson about the award and he feels that it would only lead to more awards. Watson gives up thinking about that. Sherlock then develops a rash on his arm which he thinks isn’t related to the poison ivy that was at the cabin, but related to the killer.

Act five is when we see Sherlock and Watson track down the guy from the space exhibit who is revealed to be the killer. Sherlock in this series reminds me a lot like Matlock. Anyways Sherlock’s whole squad is celebrated for what all they have done.

On the next Elementary, Sherlock and Watson appear to go after a killer who targets other predators. I wonder if this is like the chess killer whoever person from Hawaii Five-0. I do hope that Hawaii Five-0 does another crossover sometime and this time they can make use of both Danny and Steve since Steve wasn’t available as planned for the one they already did. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
