May 21st 2017’s Episode

Despite all of the odds against this show, it will be returning sometime next season. What do you know about that? Pretty cool, right? Guess that I won’t have to do any major changes to how this blog is updated. We’ll see if the show lasts beyond next season or not. I’m surprised it even lasted past this season. We’ll see what ends up happening. Guess there will be a long gap in posting between this post and the premiere of next season, especially since it is going to be on the midseason schedule and could be getting a long delayed, shafted, final season treatment like Person of Interest did. Networks are no longer so kind to shows that they don’t actually own.

Now for the next movie update which will go through everything I see before this blog gets posted. On Monday, I watched The Matrix. I replaced that with The Matrix: Reloaded. On Tuesday, I watched A Wrinkle in Time and replaced that with Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

Now during the summer, I have special ways of watching things that I do when I have enough extra time to watch movies. It isn’t exactly the summer yet, but I still had time for that. I’m just going to mention what is watched and what replaces it.

I watched Baby Boom and replaced that with the Aristocats. I watched Celtic Woman: A New Journey and replaced that with Celtic Woman: Song from the Heart. I watched Bend it Like Beckham and replaced it with Bambi.

Today’s episode is brought to you by ~3 minute delay. We begin with Sherlock writing some sort of note. He then meets up with Watson. Sherlock appears to be suffering from burnout, although Watson thinks that he might be using again. That’s why I could never risk becoming a druggie. You never know when they might relapse. There is more gang talk about Thin Boy. Can they throw in a white person into the gang to be less of a stereotype? Anyways, people, possibly police, but hopefully not, shoot some gang members dead.

The second act has the team investigating what looks like another gang shooting that killed all the people of SBK. Sherlock wants to be away for a while. He interrogates a priest who might be corrupt. What an original idea! He then gives a message to this priest who is working with SBK. Another person is talked to about the ongoing case. Sherlock talks more to this mystery woman who I’m really confused by. Who is she? Is she related like a person thought she might be? Sherlock then talks to a person from a rival gang who insists that the other side started everything. How convenient.

The third act has a terrified, kidnapped woman who delivers a message to a person. It seems that she is dead now. Sherlock offers more theories into what is going on. They interrogate a suspect and he finally reveals information. Sherlock wants to do anything to stop the fighting. Carmon’s roommate reveals more information about the case. She was a witness to the initial kidnapping and was too scared to help. They are looking for a person with possible tattoos. Sherlock and Watson learn more information about the case in question. Watson then has a major revelation with the case.

The fourth act has someone skeptical of the possible fact that Mr. Wilcox, the main SBK member, is the killer of Carmon (probable misspelling) and doesn’t want to trade immunity for the fact that he might have killed someone. It doesn’t seem that people are showing up for Shinwell’s memorial service. I hope that my funeral stuff is taken care of for when I pass. I don’t know if I should assume that it is taken care of or will be. I despise people who assume (or, at least when they say they do).

Sherlock seems to have a breakthrough with the case. Watson is upset that Sherlock wasn’t there for the service. They have it out with each other. Watson makes a possible deal with someone related to Mr. Wilcox, it seems. This is a long act. Sherlock talks more with the mystery woman who I’m still confused by. Is this a lover of some sort? Things are coming. She’s in a place that she set on fire that’s nearby to where he is. What is going on? Why is this show so weird?

The fifth act seems to have more evidence brought into the murder of Carmon. She fought back against her captor. Watson and Tommy bring in all the evidence they have against Mr. Wilcox and it appears that he is sent to jail. We then go back to Sherlock and the mystery woman. What happened with the fire? They kind of glossed over that, didn’t they? Once again I’m confused by this and the discussion that they are having. Wait, is this person real or did he somehow imagine her? They seem to imply that it is possible brain problems of his. The episode ends, making me glad that this show is renewed or we wouldn’t have any more information going for the episode.

I’m going to have one last, important paragraph in this post. Everything afterwards you can ignore. I have no idea yet when I’ll be back with more episodes. That’s because I have no idea when the next, new season will be. Hopefully, it doesn’t get the Person of Interest treatment, although I’d be surprised if the next season didn’t wind up being its last. This will be the last post for a while. I’ll either be back sometime after the season premiere or have a random post or two (or even more) between that time and now. I’m not yet sure if regular updates will be on Thursdays as they have before or not. Just wait until after the show returns and then you’ll know. Now, on to random crap!

Let’s finish the movie updates until this post is published. The next thing that I watched was Bean: the Movie. I replaced that with The Devil Wears Prada. I then watched Back to the Future and replaced that with Back to the Future Part 2. Next, I watched my grade school graduation DVD (which actually doesn’t have any of the graduation on it) and replaced it with my high school graduation DVD. After that, I watched Finding Dory with commentary and replaced that with The Emperor’s New Groove.

What I watched next was Titanic. I replaced that with National Treasure. I then watched Rush Hour. I replaced that with Rush Hour 2. Next I watched My Best Friend’s Wedding and replaced it with Jason Bourne. After that, I watched The Emperor’s New Groove and replaced it with Finding Nemo.

What I watched next was Power Rangers: The Ultimate Rangers. I replaced that with Pocahontas. I then watched Thomas and the Magic Railroad. I replaced that with Shrek. Next I watched Celtic Woman: Songs from the Heart and replaced that with Celtic Woman: Believe. After that, I watched The Aristocats and replaced that The Best Years of Our Lives.

Shows disappearing until midseason are a recurring problem that we see on CBS from time to time. It might not appear again until a drama is cancelled like Doubt was. It might finish airing in the winter, partly during the empty Survivor timeslot. It might not return until May when it could burn off. Those are some ideas or something else different could happen. Since we won’t know when Elementary is returning, enjoy the following video in the meantime.


Back to the movie updates: I watched American Dreamz and replaced that with Avatar. I then watched Rush Hour 2 and replaced that with a tape of a play recording I was in of The Wizard of Oz. That might be all the movie updates that I can fit in for this blog post. I wondered what to do with movie updates from this point forward. I thought of moving different updates to different blogs (as there are different movie lists) or telling you a huge, long update of movies for when the eventual return of the show is. I decided that I will actually tell you no more about these movie updates.



The above link is a blog that I still update every month with updates as to what the cast of the show is doing now. I also sometimes talk in the introduction of the blog about updates to the CBS schedule. That will be where you should check to see when this show is returning. This show is technically being replaced by Ten Days in the Valley although Madam Secretary is taking over its old timeslot. I have no idea when this show will be back and thus have no idea when this blog will be updated again. Sometime next season it will air its season premiere. Hopefully it won’t be as late as the summer, but it might be as long running dramas becoming midseason replacements on CBS typically get their swan song in the end. I don’t even know if I will be back here on Thursdays or not. But when the next new episode of this show airs, I’ll be back with it at some point. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

March 26th 2017’s Episode

Hopefully this blog will be normal after Lent is over. Speaking of Lent, you might be wondering what I might have given up for Lent. Well, I started with three things at first: CinemaSins, all Wikia sites, and CinemaWins. At the suggestion of others, I added discussing politics, procrastination, and making excuses. We’ll see if I’m successful at all of them. I tried giving up procrastination for Lent before, but it didn’t work out. The next year, I thought that I would give up three things so I could fail at two of them and still be okay. I ended up being successful at all three so that became the norm. I wanted to give up three things again, but that ended up changing with what others wanted to add. I could wind up making it more than three in future years, depending on what I’m successful with.

Now for the movie update. I finally rolled what I wanted most to roll so I can finally transfer the last of the dissolved list from Sunday. By watching Hancock, I can replace it with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy from Sunday’s second dissolved list. Now I can create new lists, which you will see in future posts, some of which you have seen already. On Sunday, I watched Catch Me if you Can. I replaced it with Enchanted. Starting next week, you’ll see a new movie list added followed by more in the future. I guess that we’ll see how many we add in the future.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 34 minute delay. We begin with Sherlock talking Watson that Shinwell killed a person. We then go to some sort of auction going on. The storage locker or whatever they just bought has a dead person in it.

The second act has the team learning of the death of John Doe. This person has a note on various dead people who died without heirs or wills. I need to work on my next will. People find suspect #1 and this might be one of the people who bought the storage locker. This is a friend of the victim who might be identified. Travis is the name of the victim. Sherlock and Marcus find a treasure chest. There is another person that Watson talks to. This is the person who believes that Shinwell killed his brother. Sherlock talks about the ongoing case and mentions that a captain made up data.

The third act has people learning about the pirate treasure and stuff like that. Sherlock questions the motives of a person and he says that he found the location of this treasure. Only someone was there before he was and took the treasure then. Sherlock then confronts Shinwell about the person that Shinwell murdered. Watson and Tommy talk to a person who seems to have the treasure from the ship that they were looking for. He is rich and didn’t need to steal anything. The police think that they have a suspect, but it turns out that his daughter was the person who might have hacked something.

The fourth act has the person known as cashgar or however you spell it talking to everyone about the case in question. She insists that she was just the middle man in the case. There is yet another suspect that they talk to. This person mentions pirates that they might need to look for. Sherlock and Watson talk more about Shinwell and Sherlock’s distrust of him.

It is at this point around the 10:20 mark that I start watching. Some ships were sabotaged in order to slow a person down. They talk about the ongoing treasure hunt. I don’t know who this suspect is just yet. I’m going to guess that this is the last, false suspect that they are interviewing, although it could be the guilty party depending on how else they finish this show. Sherlock thinks that she’s telling the truth about being innocent. Sherlock comes up with another one of his famous theories regarding how nothing might be what a person was looking for.

The next act has Sherlock showing a clip from a movie of some sort. Could you really make more money with a flop than with a hit? What flops are financially successful? They learn that this person wanted someone else to find a treasure so that he wouldn’t have to pay out on a price that he promised over a quest he was certain would yield nothing. So this person, whoever he is, was the person responsible for the crime.


Shinwell shows up and beats up Sherlock for some reason I don’t yet know having not seen the earlier part of the episode just yet. Shinwell also thinks that an organization that Sherlock might be working with is evil and he seeks to take these people down. There are no scenes from next time so I’ll be back whenever with the next new episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

March 19th 2017’s Episode

My sister had her baby so this blog shouldn’t have any major problems with updating. She doesn’t live too far away, but I have no idea when I might go to visit her and see the baby. Hopefully, this won’t be affected in any way. If it is, that’s okay since I made it strange by finally posting about old episodes at the expense of posting about more recent ones.

I was busy this weekend, so I didn’t know if I’d be getting any movie watching done. As soon as I’m able to move one choice to this list, I’d be able to add new lists. I can’t decide if I want that to happen or not since watching movies means having less time to do other things. Hopefully I’ll be able to add new lists by the summer (Mayish) at the absolute latest.

Well, family visits prevented me from watching a movie on Saturday, but I was able to see something on Sunday. I watched the movie Back to the Secret Garden which I’m not entirely sure if I’ve seen before. Not sure if I’ll watch it again, but I wouldn’t mind doing that. It was from Friday’s old list. Its replacement is Catch Me if You Can.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 35 minute delay. We begin with a person torturing another person for some odd reason. Someone is listening to what’s happening, so I hope that they report it. Sherlock and Shinwell were boxing for some reason. Sherlock and the team find the crime scene, only it has disappeared in a car.

The second act has more investigation into the crime. They still don’t exactly know what is going on. Shinwell was shot at, which he doesn’t think is a big idea. There is a mayor election going on, which could be important for the future. They play the recording for a person that they believe is the wife of the possibly murdered person. They find more evidence with the case,

The third act reveals that the murder was over a guitar. The mayor seems to be hard on cops as part of his campaign. The creepy guy who wanted to kill people on The Last Man on Earth shows up and mentions more about the case where he seems to jam over the ongoing case. There is a person at a college campus that investigates the case. Someone then finds this guy who has a guitar and gets murdered with it.

The fourth act has people learning that people think that the recording helped solve the case. It then has a suspect being investigated. It appears that they have everything they need to regarding the case and all they need is a confession. Here my past self takes over.

It is at this point around the 10:16 mark that I start watching. Watson is talking to a suspect with Tommy and Sherlock with her. They get a suspect to confess to a murder before they learn of second murder that happened. Who had an important guitar? Sherlock talks to Shinwell about the case. Marcus and Watson talk to a woman presumably from earlier about the case. Is that the woman from Braindead? I don’t think so, but she looks like it. She says that there was fraud over a recent software hack or breach. A person made it seem like shots were being fired when they weren’t.

The next act has Sherlock waking Watson with the recording of a gunshot. Sherlock reveals more of how a suspect was killed. They learn of an elected official who committed fraud. He is confronted by the whole team. They reveal the information about all of the crimes that went on and how this guy was responsible for the other murder. Sherlock then talks to a victim of a robbery gone wrong that may have been a victim of Shinwell’s. Thus the episode ends.


On the next Elementary, there are secrets of a pirate treasure that are revealed. Of course, it relates murder of some sort or some other crime that is being investigated. I guess that we will find out more for sure about what happens when it happens. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
