March 12th 2017’s Episode

Let’s just skip to the movie watching that I did. Hopefully, I roll the right choice to create new lists for the future. But, my history with these lists proves one thing for certain: if you want something to happen, it probably won’t until you don’t want it. I still don’t know if I want it for sure or not. As for Saturday, I watched the first Celtic Woman concert. That option remains on my list for now so I can watch the other concerts. While there might be a time it ever gets removed from my movie watching lists, it hasn’t happened yet. On Sunday, I watched The Two Towers extended edition. This means that Lord of the Rings remains on the list for now. Apparently, John Nobel, who plays Sherlock’s father, was in that movie.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a recap of Eli, the wheelchair person, and the suspicious deaths that have resulted in relationship to it. We get to Sherlock being interrogated after being arrested for murder. Only this isn’t a real law enforcement person since he doesn’t seem to be on the up and up. Whether he is or isn’t doesn’t seem clear. Sherlock is dropped off and reunited with Watson and reveals more information about the case.

The second act has Kitty coming to the house with annoying music being played as Sherlock thinks that he is under surveillance. They learn that Eli (I think) had paranoid schizophrenia. Watson believes that one of his rants was actually based on a true thing that people were trying to cover up by killing.

The third act has more of the claims that something happened in Venezuela that got various people murdered. There is more investigation into the case. Watson and Kitty are with a person when a guy in a motorcycle tries to kill him.

The fourth act reveals more of why Sherlock has seemed a bit cold towards Kitty. He thought that she shouldn’t have just left without informing him that she was okay. We also get to the explanation behind what has been happening. There was an added news story on one of the files that someone wanted to start a war with Iran.

The fifth act has Sherlock wanting to prove the Iran story as #fakenews. There is a stand-off between police and the person who wants the story to spread. Sherlock is able to find out information and defuse the situation. Kitty decides to baptism Archie (baptize and christen are the same thing, right?) and she wants Sherlock and Watson to be godparents. I guess that Sherlock make her an offer she couldn’t refuse. They will be staying in touch.

On the next Elementary, a guitar is central to the plot. Why is rock and roll considered the devil’s music? You’d think that rap would be a much better example of that. Also, where would Christian rock fit in all of this? Sorry, I went off of a strange tangent there after the first sentence of this paragraph. Anyways, for now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

May 14th 2017’s Episode

There’s not much else to tell you about right now other than what movies I am watching. On Monday, I watched the post gathering DVD of the 2007 LCMS National Youth Gathering from Orlando. I replaced that with Power Rangers: The Ultimate Rangers DVD that I’m calling a movie length thing even though I could watch the episodes on it individually. On Tuesday, I watched Adventures in Babysitting. I replaced that with Absolute Power.

You may wonder how I feel about Shinwell being killed off. Honestly, I’m not sure that I care that much. The only way it really bothers me is that they never gave him that much of a story in the first place. He was an underdeveloped character that wasn’t even in the whole season that he could have been. Maybe other people felt there was more to him than I did, but I didn’t really think too much of him other than him being a screw up that kept making more mistakes.

I didn’t have time for a movie on Saturday due to attending my cousin’s wedding instead. On Sunday, I did have time for a movie. I watched Front of the Class and replaced it with Bend it like Beckham. That’s all for this movie update.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a recap of Shinwell’s story arc this season. Now there might be a potential SPOILER involving a family member of Sherlock coming up in this or a future episode so I guess we’ll have to look out for that. END SPOILER. Sherlock thinks that Watson missed the killer by minutes, but it might as well have been years. Sherlock wants to make sure that Watson doesn’t blame herself for what happens. She doesn’t feel responsible. They will then have to go with war with the gang. Is it SPK or something else? Is it SBK? If I knew what it stood for, I might know for sure. Things can get confusing quite easily in today's TV world.

The second act has people continuing to investigate Shinwell’s death. They try to hunt down the gang leader. Sherlock thinks that a tax problem relates to what they are investigating. That’s not too far off from reality considering how tax evasion is what got Al Capone arrested. Sherlock goes to one of his meetings about his former drug addiction. He then talks to a person about the case at hand, I think. I don’t fully understand who this woman he is talking to is.

Marcus and Watson talk more about the case to another person. Some picture is used to protest the current president. Maybe I should add that to my page. Marcus, Sherlock, and Watson go to a place to investigate the case. The Folsom person that they believe to be the leader of the gang and main suspect is there and they talk to him. Things get tense for a moment.

The third act has Watson talking to the person that I think was called Thin Guy. He thinks that SBK (if that is the name) is the only person who took care of him. Sherlock brings out an enigma machine that he thinks that Folsom uses. He talks to the woman from earlier and he has some sort of issue with her that I don’t understand. I haven’t seen two recent episodes yet. Watson works on interrupting the lingo of the gang that they are investigating. The gang might have looked like something didn’t really happen that did. I didn’t understand that.

The fourth act has people talking about the case more. Sherlock finds a new way of going after the gang members. It seems that they bring in Folsom’s brother for questioning. The suspicion goes to this brother as the real mastermind behind this whole case. I know this is a fight I can lose but the accused is an innocent man. Wait, that’s something else. Sherlock investigates more and has yet another theory into what is going on. Watson and Marcus appear to have a good idea as to how to solve their case. Sherlock then talks to another person. That person reveals that he thought Sherlock sent a message that he actually didn’t. Marcus finds some crime going on that I don’t understand.

The fifth act has Folsom at the hospital and they think that he won’t make it. Watson thinks that his brother might have done this to him. I don’t know if they can finish this episode in time. Watson and Marcus talk to Folsom’s brother and he thinks that bad things could happen. Sherlock then talks to that woman from earlier that I don’t understand. Did they ever explain who she is? There is more mystery to her as the episode suddenly ends.

On the next Elementary, the season finale airs. They have many different details that are hard to catch. I couldn’t watch Shades of Blue tonight so I saw this episode live and might have missed things as a result. I should be able to watch the episode at some point. But I have three other episodes to post about before I tell you about the last one. I just hope that I have time to watch them. There will be at least four new posts as a result as I post the March episodes you haven’t seen yet then the season finale episode that will air on Sunday. I will see you then. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

May 7th 2017’s Episode

I don’t think that this show will be around next season. If it is, it won’t be on CBS, but probably some cable network or something like that instead. Remember that I will blog about the final episode of this season last, making sure that any other episode from March that hasn’t been blogged about yet will be posted then. I wish that I had these written already, but I don’t at the moment. If this show does end, then I will continue this blog in a way I’ll mention later.

Now for the movie update. On Monday, I watched Our Lips are Sealed. I replaced that with Rush Hour. On Tuesday, I watched North by Northwest. I replaced that with A Wrinkle in Time. On Saturday, I watched The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I replaced that with Graduation DVDs that I have. The first one that I’ll watch (relating to grade school) is a bit of a misnomer in terms of graduation. Then, I’ll get to the actual post graduation DVD from high school. On Sunday, I watched Pleasantville and replaced that with Titanic. I had waited until Sunday was open before I put Titanic on the list.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with the end of a completely irrelevant case, it would seem. Watson gets a text from Shinwell. She lies about it to Sherlock, but he’ll find out. A woman goes into what she thinks is probably a paintball game only to wind up murdered.

The second act has more of the murder being investigated. Watson does meet with Shinwell. It turns out that the victim was part of a reality show that involved hunting people with paintball guns where the last person standing wins a million dollars. They think that the death was to cover up an elimination that we otherwise wouldn’t know about. Sherlock does deduce quite easily that Watson met with Shinwell. He then shows this one person who has a lot of scars.

The third act has the main suspect revealed. He had killed some people back in his home country and was granted amnesty. Sherlock finds a costumed person which seems to be the stereotypical millennial type. Sherlock thinks that she would be a potential victim. They are able to find the guy who then reveals more information about a person that seems suspicious. You know, this game could actually work as a real reality show. It is kind of like Hunted, only Hunted was the players versus the game. This show would be every player versus all the other players.

The fourth act has some more confusing aspects being brought up. Maybe it is just confusing to me. They go to a strip club to do some more research into what is going on. Watson talks more to Shinwell and he has information that would ultimately put himself away. Sherlock and Marcus talk to another suspect named Washburn and he reveals a deal that gets him out of trouble. But Sherlock is certain that he can find whoever the real killer is.

The fifth act has the team revealing to the producers their plan for trying to catch the killer. It turns out that one of the producers is the killer. I don’t fully understand why that is. Watson goes to Shinwell’s home and finds his bloody body, probably murdered.

On the next Elementary, it is revealed for sure that Shinwell is, in fact, dead. They look like they might be in a gang war with SPG over this. This season is winding down to the end and it looks like it will all be over soon. Given this show’s tendency to do more self-contained storylines, one can hope that’s what happens at the end of this season. If it does end this year, one would want it to end well. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

April 30th 2017’s Episode

Things were a bit strange in the last blog post so I’m going to have to offer an explanation in this, the next blog post. I will do an extra part that will be included in other blogs as well that also suffered from this problem. I am now able to use my own laptop again.

Here’s a paragraph that I’m putting in multiple blogs. I had problems with my laptop’s power cord and had to get a new one to use it again long term. In the event that there are problems with my laptop, this would be one of the blogs that I would try to keep updating blogs of shows that are still on, like this one. If not, then I would stop updating the blog until I have a new computer to do so with. For now, the issue is resolved and hopefully there won’t be any other problems with this for a while.

I might have thought at one point that I had messed up when I created this blog. Originally, I was only going to do this when it was delayed so long that it wasn’t airing, it was airing at two different delays, or it was on delay with one of my two CBS affiliates, but not the other one. I thought that it was a two separate delays, but that was more of the natural difference of when stuff was airing on the two different channels. This means that I shouldn’t have created the blog as early as I did. But things are now normal now. The show was preempted and this will be something that I can rest easy and blog about despite originally not doing it right. Man I hope this makes sense to someone.

Now for the movie update. On Monday, I watched The Little Mermaid. I replaced it with Liar Liar. On Tuesday, I watched Ice Age: The Meltdown. That remains on the list for the moment as I am going to watch it again with commentary. What other movies did I watch? Those were Finding Dory that remains on the list so I can watch it again with commentary and Vantage Point which also comes with a commentary to watch as well. It’s a good thing that I have these updates on this blog or I might not have been able to remember easily what the movies I watch each week when I had the computer problems that I did have.

Next week, I watched Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. I don’t yet have the next movie in the series so I replaced it with a post gathering DVD of the 2007 LCMS National Youth Gathering. I was there in Orlando that year at the gathering. SHOUT OUT! The next movie that I watched was Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. I replaced that with My Best Friend’s Wedding. On Saturday, I watched nothing as family was over for just that one day. On Sunday, I watched Enchanted and replaced it with American Dreamz.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with Marcus, Tommy, and Sherlock all at the hospital. His girlfriend isn’t dead, but does appear to be in a coma at the moment. Marcus is certain that only one person could have done this and Sherlock seeks to find whoever is responsible.

The second act has the team interviewing the suspect, Roy, who is the ex-husband of the assault victim. Roy’s lawyer thinks that the precinct is on a witch hunt against him. There is DNA evidence of Roy at the crime scene. Marcus reveals why he doesn’t like hospitals. He gets into a bit of an altercation with Roy who shows up. Sherlock finds evidence that proves that Roy isn’t the assailant. Only Roy winds up dead himself, a supposed suicide.

The third act is really confusing to me. Let’s see if I can make sense of it all. The death of Roy is ruled out as being a suicide while people continue to look for whatever suspect or suspects may still be at large. Sherlock wants to take Marcus out to help with the case even though he’s on leave from duty right now. Sherlock and Marcus research more of what’s happening and find a person who might have done it or something. Marcus seems ready to do something bad when he notices a person comes out and beats the suspect before stealing a car. Sherlock then calls, revealing himself to be that person. What is going on here?

The fourth act explains more of what just happened and things make more sense now. Sherlock wanted to prevent the suspect from travelling on airplane. He also might tie up any ways of this coming back to him. Marcus admits that if Sherlock hadn’t intervened, he didn’t know how far he would have gone beating the suspect on his own. Sherlock also reveals that his original hospital story was a lie and that Marcus’s father was abusive and beat his mother when he was a child. There is more discussion on how to catch the suspect at hand.

The fifth act has the last of the evidence against the suspect brought up which is enough to put him away for all the crimes. It can be a bit hard to make sense of the rest of all of what happens except that it seems that things are resolved. I don’t think it was revealed if this girlfriend would end up being okay or not. I guess we’ll see that in future episodes.

On the next Elementary, Sherlock thinks that they have never seen a more accomplished killer before. It appears to be a sore loser from a game show that gets investigated. We’ll have to see what happens when it happens. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
