January 15th, 2017’s Episode

Due to the Golden Globes last week, I missed various episodes of shows that I normally watch. I recorded this show and Madam Secretary on my laptop, but I missed everything else. The shows that they aired that I normally watch are The Simpsons, Son of Zorn, Bob’s Burgers, 60 Minutes, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Conviction. I missed all of them this previous week.

I’m in what I call a good weekend, basically meaning that I’m able to watch a movie on both Saturday and Sunday. I’m not always able to do that. The new show, Ransom, which is airing on Saturdays for no good reason, could potentially mess things up for me, but it wasn’t on this week. They aired a stupid Patriots game instead. But I did watch Return of Jafar on Saturday and replaced it with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I’ll probably borrow the earlier movies sometime later this year. As for Sunday, I watched Run Fatboy Run with commentary and replaced it with Pleasantville.

Since I’m trying to get caught up with my Madam Secretary blog, if you ever see an older episode here instead of the most recent to air one, it is because I am catching up with where I was in that blog. The episode of this show that aired on 10-23-2016 is the oldest one that I’ll blog about. I have the post ready, but am planning on waiting until Lent to post it here.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a book of some sort that’s important somehow. Marcus is dating a woman who is in the process of getting divorced or is recently divorced. He gets into a fight with a person at a bar after accidently knocking his glass of alcohol to the ground. There are then random people in the woods going after a creepy clown. What’s with the creepy clown phases anyways? Has it gone away or have I just stopped hearing about it?

The second act has Sherlock being shown the dead body in the woods by the same actress that played Eric’s mother on That ‘70s Show. I wonder if she’ll be more important to the episode or not. The man that Marcus had a fight with was the ex-husband of the woman he’s now dating. The dead clown was part of something called prank-vertising, which I hope isn’t a real thing, but probably is. This creepy clown stuff is quite real. Sherlock has some sort of musical thing that plays circus music. I’m not sure how it relates to the case. Sherlock and Marcus learn that someone was poisoning a water supply area nearby that affects the whole city, it seems.

The third act doesn’t have much that I can catch. But it does have the idea of a superbug being introduced into New York City. It seems as if only a minor bug would have been introduced instead of a superbug. The guy who fought at the bar with Marcus may not have gone to the bar on a regular basis. That’s all I can catch of this act.

The fourth act has the problem identified that was prevented. Poisoning the water could have caused diarrhea in the area which would have affected people. Watson wants to install a new water filter into their house, but Sherlock is against that as he likes the water as is. He is able to use this information to go after a suspect who has a bunch of water in his garage, but this suspect is innocent as it isn’t the final act of the show yet. What shows catch the criminal before the final act?

The fifth act has Sherlock and his team catching the perp. I don’t fully understand who that person was. How did this all relate to a clown again? Sometimes shows can be confusing and not make sense. This is hardly the only show that had a beginning that didn’t relate in any way to the end of it. The Marcus thing seems wrapped up for the most part as he confront the guy at get him to not do whatever thing he was doing that related to the fight. There are no scenes from next time so I’ll be back whenever with the next episode. Until then, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

January 8th 2017’s Episode

Well, the new year has started and I’ve decided to tell you about movies that I watch and the process that I go through in order to watch them. There are six movies on each potential list and currently two lists, although there is likely to be more added in the future. What are the current lists before the new year starts? Well, I might as well tell you. But first, I might as well tell you all of the Christmas stuff that I watched last year that I normally don’t always watch from year to year. Last year, I watched Thomas’s Christmas Celebration, Thomas’s Snowy Surprise, a recording of a Cantata that my church did once, a recording of the movie Christmas Vacation, a recording of the movie Home Alone 3, and the first season Christmas episode of 8 Simple Rules entitled All I Want for Christmas.

Saturday’s list currently has the following movies: Baby Boom, Celtic Woman concerts, Fireproof, Hancock, Indiana Jones series, and The Return of Jafar. Sunday’s list currently has the following movies: Back to the Secret Garden, Front of the Class, The Hobbit series, Nature Documentaries, Run Fatboy Run, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I’ll plan on updating you on what I watch and replace on this list and if I add another new list, which seems very likely.

You might be wondering when I’m going to post the older episodes from this season that I have not yet blogged about. Well, this blog may get confusing around the time that Lent starts. I think that is when I will ultimately start posting older episodes that I haven’t posted yet. This will mean me not posting about what the current episodes are, but I should make them up later. My blogs can be confusing and if you don’t read my Madam Secretary blog, you should be glad as I haven’t even finished posting about last season on it yet.

Something that’s worth putting in this blog is that different family events, such as my sister having a baby really soon, meaning that any blog I do could be affected by anything family related. Hopefully I can continue doing these posts as planned every Thursday until Lent and then alternating Sundays until Lent is over and I post back on Thursdays again. March 5^th is the first planned Sunday post when things go back there again. But I thought that I would let you know about these things.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a woman who appears to be kidnapped in a weird way. The man responsible is confronted by Sherlock when Sherlock steals his phone which leads to a fight between the two of them.

The second act has more information being learned about the case. I’m not entirely sure if I’m hearing it as well on my laptop as it seems that my TV tuner has constant audio problems. Sherlock learns that the woman has been missing for around five years. What’s sad is that, in reality, there are people who have probably been missing longer.

The third act is when a man is arrested for possibly being an accomplice to the case at hand. Watson tries to talk to Shinwell more about what she feels he should be doing. It doesn’t seem like much progress is being made regarding the missing person case.

The fourth act is when it appears that the suspect in question escapes. But was he ever in police custody? I don’t fully understand a lot of this episode. Shinwell may be playing both sides or he could really be an evil, bad guy. They are able to find the missing person, but she says that there isn’t an accomplice that was ever there. Was it just one person?

The fifth act has them catching the bad guy of this episode, who, in fact, is a woman. The divorced wife of the dead(?) person who was on the beach is the person who might have shared in his crazy desires. It looks like she will be going away for some time. I’m not sure what’s going on with Shinwell, but it appears that he was able to unlock locks and that’s good somehow.

On the next Elementary, a murdered clown is the subject of the story. It makes me wonder if we will see any tie-ins to all those clown sightings that have happened in places. Creepy clowns have even been spotted around where I live. I guess that we will be back soon with the next episode. I know that they typically air a football playoff championship game soon that ends at around 7 Central time, pushes back the regular programming by an hour, and would cut off this show as it is now airing at 9 Central. Maybe that will not interfere with the next episode. Regardless, I’ll be back then. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
