I believe that the AFC
championship game will cause the preemption of this show. I write this in the
past as we’ll know later when the episode aired, as evidenced by the title that
it will have. I just hope that it ends on time and they don’t air a stupid post
game show afterwards which would cut into what I want to watch after it. We’ll
see if that happens or not.
I wonder if these games are
done differently each year as I don’t remember this game airing in most of
primetime since Scorpion was a new show. But they aired a 45 minute post game
show starting at nine which was supposed to be when Scorpion started. If they
delay the first ever episode of Hunted, then they are screwing themselves over
a lot. Plus, why is its premiere not at its usual timeslot? I always get
annoyed when shows do that. If you are going to air a new show for the first
time, it should be when it will always air. This supposed great lead-in could
wind up dooming that show I’m not sure would have lasted long anyways.
Let’s get to all the movie
watching that I was doing since the last new episode aired. I watched the movie
Fireproof and replace it on the list with Free Willy. I was also watching The
Hobbit movie series and the next one to watch is the extended edition of The
Battle of the Five Armies. I’ll be keeping the movie series on the list so I
can watch it again with commentary. I wasn’t able to watch any movies from my
lists the next weekend, but I did see 10 Cloverfield Lane.
Miguel Ferrer, an actor who
was still working on NCIS: Los Angeles, died recently. The NCIS franchise
hasn’t been doing well this season as both NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans had to
get a new showrunner after the one they both had, Gary Glasberg, also died. I
read that they were planning on writing out Miguel’s character on this show due
to the actor’s health concerns. I don’t know yet if they will replace his
character or not. I also don’t know if he will appear anymore as the last time
his character showed up, he wound up shot and they could have already killed
this character off long before his real death actually happened. I guess that
we will see what happens later for sure.
The character he played, Owen
Granger, was the assistant director on the show, but they went without one
until he was introduced in the third season. I don’t know yet if they will find
a new assistant director for the show or not. It would seem kind of rude to
recast the part with a new character since he actually died. But they may have
already planned that anyways. Meanwhile, they could use the character of Leon
Vance, the main NCIS director, do double duty like they did before they
introduced Owen onto the show. In fact, if you ask me, that might have been why
they had an assistant director of NCIS on the first spin-off in the first place.
I was wondering if we’d ever see an assistant director like Owen on the second
spin-off or if they would upgrade him to director in case they wanted to get
rid of the old director. On the main show, they briefly made use of a character
named Jerome Craig to be acting director. If they could get the actor who
played him back, Greg Germann, they could make use of the character again. He
only appeared in season 10 of NCIS thus far.
What is probably the last
episode of Conviction airs tonight so I will be able to live watch the future
episodes of this until March when Shades of Blue starts again. There are a lot
of great potential things airing at midseason on Sundays, yet weirdly scheduled
after February sweeps. I guess that this is because of all the special
programming scheduled that month like the Super Bowl, the Grammys, and the
Oscars. I’m still wondering if there will be a post Oscar show. Jimmy Kimmel
normally does that, but would he do double duty since he is already hosting the
Oscars?
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin first with three different flashbacks of a man
wanting Sherlock’s help with an assault case, but Sherlock is too busy each
time. I remember the second one the most as it had the possible killer doll and
aired at the same time as the first episode of the great show Allegiance. In
the present, the man takes over a diner full of people with a gun and that is
when Sherlock is finally forced to help him. Watson has to stay in the diner as
another hostage. Sherlock then goes out to investigate the case, but he doesn’t
have much time to do it. He has until midnight before his carriage turns back
into a pumpkin.
The second act has Marcus and
Sherlock investigating the case. Sherlock uncovers information being
investigated that could help with the case. The hostage taker (is that the
right term?) explains that he’s only really after one person at the diner who
he feels is responsible for nothing happening with the case thus far.
The third act has Sherlock
trying to go after bad people which leads him to literally put on a shirt that
has looking for bad people on it. One finds him and this leads him and Marcus
to visiting a gang where they learn information that helps them with the case.
When they leave the place, they find a location that has a bunch of maple syrup
but also has links to drugs, it seems.
Sherlock is able to make a
breakthrough in the case, but it comes too late as it is past the deadline. Nothing
really bad happens at the diner as Watson is able to defuse the situation and
keep the hostage taker alive where he gets arrested. As for the criminal, they
are able to use a law the effectively extends when the statute of limitations
is up via the criminal’s international travel and arrest him.
There are no scenes from next
time as next week they are airing the Super Bowl. I’ll be rooting for the
Ravens for two reasons: 1- they have never won the Super Bowl before and more
importantly, 2- they are not the Patriots. I guess that we’ll see eventually
who wins or doesn’t win, but life doesn’t always go the way you want it to. At
least there is nothing really significant about football affecting the world so
I won’t get too upset over a Patriots victory. Heck, I never even hated the
fact that the Cubs won the World Series and I’m a Cardinals fan. We’ll see what
happens later and I’ll be back with the next episode sometime then. For now,
this is Adam Decker, signing off.
