November 6th 2016’s Episode

Before I had any other blog, I had a blog about just TV in general. That’s basically because I wanted to write reviews about shows, but had no reason to do this without a blog that would include it. For the moment, updates of this blog are locked in on Saturdays, although this could and probably will change in the future. I make a promise to my blog readers to update every blog of mine at a bare minimum of once a month. Of course, you’ll see more of that when I mention other blogs in the future.

I will tell you more about what blogs I have in future posts. I tend to have some sort of introduction to my blog posts whenever there is a new episode of a show for me to write about. I don’t really know why I do this, but I feel that there is always something interesting to talk about besides the actual show. I mean, there’s always something interesting in the world, right?

In case you were wondering what happened with this episode, there was a delay of when it would air because of a sports game earlier. There were also complications that got me separated from TV, in a way, some of that Sunday. But this is later than it should be since I put it on tape and watched some of it later. I couldn’t even get into it immediately after Quantico ended.

Today’s episode brought to you by 50 minute delay. We begin with Shinwell and Watson talking about stuff. We then switch to a creepy guy by the looks of it. After hearing gun shots, a body comes slamming into his house. Talk about an intro.

The second act has Marcus, Sherlock, and Watson looking at the dead body at a morgue. Sherlock thinks that the victim is a sexual predator. This means that the killer could be a vigilante. They talk to the victim’s wife and brother-in-law about the case. Sherlock stops by the place where the site was set up at, but I’m not sure if he makes any headway there. There are continued issues with Shinwell that Watson and Sherlock try to help with. They think that they found the catfish.

The third act is when it is suspected that Novack, the victim, might have been going after some women online. They interview someone who they suspect is innocent, but they have to prove it. I think that this was the guy that we saw on the phone at the beginning of the episode. He had set up recordings of what he was planning on doing with a minor and that’s how he has footage of the murder. Sherlock goes through different suspects that were shamed and goes into the only one that is still around in the country. They talk to the suspect in question. He gives information as to why he isn’t the killer. Sherlock and Watson then get a call from Marcus who gives them more information about the case.

The fourth act has Marcus and Sherlock talking to a woman who they think might be responsible for some sort of part of the case. I wonder how many innocent suspects they talk to on this show. I know that all mystery shows do that, but they seem to have an excessive amount of that. Watson wants Shinwell to be a private detective.

It is at this point around the 10:30 mark that I start watching. Sherlock is on his computer looking for information relating to the case. They go after a suspected person who might have committed the crime. He gives an explanation relating to his part in some illegal activity that he didn’t actually do this particular crime of murder.

The next act has Watson and Sherlock doing more of the case. Watson was tearing up in a way. I didn’t exactly understand why. This discussion leads to one of the many aha! moments that leads Sherlock to the perpetrator of the case. They have the evidence against a woman from earlier. She then confesses to the crime. Sherlock then goes after an old friend, I’m guessing. He wants to frame this person for a crime. I don’t fully understand what that’s about. There are then two random black guys that I’m guessing are important to future episodes I’ve probably already seen by now.

On the next Elementary, there is a cook related to a murder or something or other. It can typically always be hard to tell for sure what’s happening with a certain upcoming episode. This is probably by design. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

October 23rd 2016’s Episode

Before the first official episode would be blogged about, I decided that I could blog about an episode from before it that I had recorded on tape. Yes, I’m a weirdo who still uses VHS tapes on a regular basis. I hope that nothing bad ever happens to the VCRs that I have. Anyways, let get to the beginning of the episode that I haven’t seen yet, then the rest of the episode which I watched when it first aired and wrote about in a different font.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 35 minute delay. We begin with a brief recap of things that I don’t fully understand or remember. A person who I believe is Tommy is talking to Paige, his girlfriend. She ends up talking to Sherlock some. She wants to hire Sherlock for a private case of some sort. (Did you know that the pirate with an eye patch was a private eye? That’s what happened to it.) We then get to a guy who is killed while listening to what I believe to be the original version of Higher Love and not the version that the strange Hershey’s commercials has done.

The second act has Sherlock coming back and Watson is hoping that there aren’t bodies in the bag that he has brought. They then learn about a case that must have been at a nudist retreat. It then goes to Beth who was kidnapped a week ago. They go to her husband who talks more about the case. They are shown more video of the case. Sherlock does more of Paige’s case and learns that her insurance lapsed. The team finds a van that was used in the kidnapping. They talk more to Beth’s husband.

The third act is when Sherlock goes visit tech guys and learns more about the case. Beth’s husband wanted a divorce by the looks of it. Aaron is the name of Beth’s husband. There are planned anniversary cards that she was planning on sending out. But it seems to be mostly her doing that and not him. Sherlock and Watson talk to a radio show person about the case. They then get computer files about an abduction near a basketball game. It is around this point where my past self will take over. This may seem a bit confusing as I will not know all that I was talking about just now.

It is at this point around the 10:00 mark that I start watching the episode. Sherlock is talking to a person relating to the case. In his classic Sherlock ways, he asks whether she is going broke or not. A person is arrested relating to the case. He says that he is not the person on camera that they think did the crime. He gives information about the case that leads them after many mobsters.

The next act has Sherlock playing Get Me Some Loving (or is it Lovin’?) on his violin. I’ll have to read Hound of the Baskervilles sometime since I have not actually read a Sherlock Holmes book just yet. But I might have to just to see if it mentions him playing a violin. I remember a violin in the Robert Downey Jr. movie labeled Sherlock Holmes.

Anyways, Sherlock talks about Paige from earlier. Sherlock wants a random(?) person to marry Paige. This is despite the fact that Sherlock was glad that this person got out of his first marriage. A person who was held hostage talks about how she was able to escape from people who held her hostage. Maybe I’ll understand more of this later, although you won’t see it mentioned well in this blog post. Sherlock doesn’t believe her story and thinks that she kidnapped herself. Tommy is the person that I thought was random, but wasn’t.

The next act has Sherlock wondering more about the case. It’s kind of hard to summarize this part. Apparently Beth, the person who was supposedly kidnapped, has breasts that reveal her lies somehow. It makes sense watching it in a way. I wish that I could phrase what was said in a good way, but I’m not that good at summarizing things which is sad since I want to be a professional writer in the future.

On the next Elementary, there’s an “out of this world motive” for a new case. Boy, I’m glad that this whole election has been put behind us. Sorry, but an election ad aired after the promo and before the late news. But I should have enough of that by now. I just wonder if anyone I wanted to win whatever election actually won. I’ll be back sometime with some other episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
