September 17th 2018’s Episode

There’s not much to mention in the introduction to this post. I don’t think that I’ll wait to save all of what I want to say until the end of this post. I also thought that I could share some videos when the next season starts whenever it does instead of moving them to a different blog. Until then, enjoy this song that claims to be about a horse, but is actually about a donkey.


I had posted a video before from a YouTube channel called CinemaWins. That was inspired by a channel known as CinemaSins. Another channel that it inspired was CinemaSinsSins. They tend to do videos that point out the flaws in the main channel. They also did a video on what was wrong with the video I had shared earlier, so enjoy it if you want to.


Movie update: On Saturday, I watched the movie Déjà Vu. I replaced that with Absolute Power. I then saw another of my home videos. That remains on the list of things to be watched again later. This means that going into the hiatus of this show, the Saturday list is Absolute Power, Finding Nemo, my grade school graduation DVD I am Sam, The Return of Jafar, and Titanic. The Sunday list is Back to the Future Part 3, Celtic Woman: A New Journey, home videos, Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark), The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. From this point forward, if you want to know about the movie updates of what I watch, you’ll have to read my Madam Secretary blog. I plan to move the updates back here when the next season starts.

The first act has Watson in an interrogation room, but not the regular one. A woman talks to Joan about what she could have done. I think that she only injured him, but it is hard to tell for sure. She asks for a lawyer. Are we really led to believe that she might have done this? I still think that Michael might have faked his death and framed his “murder” on Joan. Would the writers really make Joan a killer? I sure hope not, but the NCIS franchise has turned their heroes into one-off villains before. Let’s hope that this show isn’t like that. I like my heroes as always that way.

The second act has Sherlock and Joan talking to a defense attorney. Michael thought that she was his attacker. Well, she fought back when he attacked her. Sherlock asks Joan if she killed Michael. She says that she didn’t, but she seems so emotionless in this episode. Of course, that could just be the usual acting that Lucy Liu does. Tommy knows that Joan didn’t do the crime. Sherlock wants his help, but they don’t know if that will happen or not. Sherlock broke into the morgue and they learn more about what happened. I can’t believe they just put a penis joke into such a serious episode.

The wound that Watson did was stitched up before hospital people got to him. Sherlock goes back to the addicts’ place he goes to and finds the person who stitched him up there. Michael told him that the wound was due to drug dealers. Sherlock wants the person to help him. Sherlock meets Joan at a place where Michael was and make sure that she doesn’t spread DNA there. Sherlock somehow knows that a woman with footprints fitting her size was there. This woman is the real killer, he thinks at least.

The third act has Joan and Sherlock going back to their place and they wonder how she knew where to find Michael. They think that a certain woman investigating the case might have done in. Malick is the person they suspect of the crime. Sherlock gets a person to burn that house down and knew someone who would commit arson personally. Marcus is talking to someone who might be Malick or someone else about the case and she more or less threatens to sever his potential future ties to the Marshalls. I still don’t know what could happen to his character in the future.

Sherlock walks into the place to find sexy music playing with footage of bees. Watson just did this to Sherlock instead of the other way around? They might get the help they need this way. They find a new person to talk to and talk to a person who might have moved his body. He doesn’t think that he could have done it based on evidence and they think someone still might have brought the body here. Tommy seemed to have taken potential evidence they need. Does that mean that he might be the killer? He seems to be the least focused on of the main characters so I’d be more okay if he didn’t return in the future. But I still don’t want him to be the killer.

The fourth act has Tommy coming into his house where he sees Sherlock there and things messed with. Sherlock knows who the real killers are and wonders how Tommy is involved. His daughter is the one who killed Michael. She got a call from someone who owned a bar about what happened. Sherlock does not want Watson to have her reputation be ruined and knows of other flaws as well. Tommy blames this all on Sherlock for letting things get this far. Watson wants to gamble the case although Sherlock tries to talk her out of doing this.

Sherlock talks to Hannah about the case. Will she confess? Watson is then taken into the FBI. Sherlock is the person that tries to take the whole blame of everything on himself. He moved to Britain and they refuse to send him back here. Malick is still convinced that Watson did it, but now won’t be able to do anything due to Sherlock’s confession.

The fifth act has Sherlock at the main place wants to say goodbye to Watson. It has always been in her nature to help people. What is this deal that MI6 owed Sherlock anyways? Sherlock is glad that she was able to help him get out of his addiction trap. He then leaves. We then see him in Britain talking to a person about a potential case. Watson is now next door in London. Are they exactly where they are supposed to be? I guess we'll see next season.

I look forward to seeing the next season. I also wonder if Sherlock will ever go back to America at all. We won’t be seeing Marcus or Tommy again unless there is some sort of change. Maybe next season will have a soft reboot to the storyline and we’ll see other people. But it seems like we’ll probably have to wait for a while. Enjoy and read the rest of this post so you’ll know where to go and other updates about this blog before the hiatus of this blog and the show sets in.

Something that I enjoyed as a kid was Schoolhouse Rock. It’s a shame that so many kids in the future will not know about it. You should be seeing a lot of songs from that show next season. The one that I am sharing now is called Elementary, My Dear.


Last time when this blog took a break, I told you to go to a different blog, my CSI: Cyber blog (which is still updated at least once a month), in order to find out updates about this blog. I am sharing the link to it again so you’ll know where to go and what all to read until the show starts again.


If you are still reading this, you should know that former cast members of this show will be mentioned in the cast updates of this show. I will plan to add Desmond Harrington, who played Michael, to it at one point. Since I won’t know who will be in the cast of this show next season, it is possible that Marcus and Tommy won’t be returning so their actors might be added there as well. I think that I will include the new person in that blog right away at the next update. With John Nobel already there, this might make you wonder what of their projects might be in this blog.

It only makes sense if it will work out that I post various reviews in this blog whenever I can see what I want to and write a review of some sort. You might see it in the other blog as well. Posts in this blog will happen on Thursdays for sure when the show is on hiatus unless it is Advent or Lent when I will have my Survivor blog on Thursdays instead of this blog. The other blog will tell you for sure when this blog will start again and when the show will start again.

This should be all that I need before this closing. I’m glad that they could do a season finale that would also work as a series finale as well. I don’t know if the next season will be the last one or not. I also don’t know if it won’t be on until the next summer or if it will be on sooner than that. You should see updates in the other blog about it until I come here for the new episodes of the season.


Note that any reviews will be in the CSI: Cyber blog if this show is back or it will be delayed until the show or season is over. I can’t really say too much about what’s going on because I won’t know for sure what all will happen. Don’t be surprised if any reviews you see are in another font than this one. I’ll see you in the future if all goes well. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

September 10th 2018’s Episode

You might want to know some of the things I’ll be doing with this blog once the show is on hiatus this next time. Well, if you read my CSI: Cyber blog which is still updated at least once a month, then you will know for sure when this show will come back. You just might not know when that blog will be updated and neither do that tribe’s readers most times. Until then, enjoy this song about narwhals.


Movie update: With no time for me to watch a movie on Saturday, I wasn’t sure that I would wind up with time to watch something on Sunday, but I did. Celtic Woman’s original concert was watched and I will replace that on the list with Celtic Woman: A New Journey.

There is a relative of mine who sometimes comes a week and lives here while doing other things in the meantime. It can take up a lot of time and I might not be able to watch everything I want to. This could affect my blogs. I am going to copy this message in other blogs of mine so they will know. Blogs might wind up being later than I want them to be in terms of when they are posted as long as these people are here. I’ll write notes about what happened if there are changes. The rotation that I have on Mondays will not be affected as long as I can help it. Sorry if things are confusing as a result.

Since I have started doing the Madam Secretary blog partly on Mondays, it will mean that I will not need to have a movie watching list on Tuesdays. This means that the movie list would move to Mondays to be against the show so I don’t have to worry about rolling shows then that would mess things up. The main reason that I’m telling you this, despite the fact that there has yet to be an official list on Tuesdays, is because I will be moving these movie updates there instead of here. They should move back here when the next season’s episodes and posts start.

The first act has Sherlock talking about a case involving a plane crash. I never like it when they talk about cases that we never wind up seeing. But at least that unimportant case was solved, for better or worse. Sherlock goes somewhere and there is a dead body there already. He knows who did it.

The second act has Sherlock’s team coming to investigate the death. There might be turf wars with a different agency that could cause problems. Someone gives balloons to Watson. I don’t get the whole thing that they are doing there except that it seems that they know where he might have been getting money from. Watson and Marcus talk to a person who knew Michael named William. Things didn’t go well with the meeting which is what Sherlock notices when they talk about it later. He thinks that he is responsible for the woman’s death. Michael shows up at the office, wanting to talk to Sherlock.

The third act has Michael claiming that he didn’t kill Rachel, but I can’t remember if she’s the victim from this episode or a different one entirely. I might have missed something due to a short break. It seems that Sherlock enjoys giving the details as to why he thinks people are linked. Sherlock does want to help him stop killing. He leaves and is allowed to by people. They must not have enough evidence to keep him. I don’t know who this new woman is, but I feel that she may be on Michael’s side.

Marcus and Watson talk to a new person about the case. Ray, the husband of William, had died in some way. But how does that relate to Michael? I’m not sure. Michael and Sherlock talk in a parking garage. Michael had a job somewhere that he was returning to. Watson gives Sherlock more information about what had happened while Sherlock is more focused on the main case.

Michael might have only been just an hour away this whole time. It’s like how long missing kidnapped victims are often found somewhat close to where they were taken from. Is Albany really just an hour away from New York? I don’t know for sure, but I thought it was further away. They do think that Michael killed Rachel. Marcus finds a dark room where it seems Michael might have been shopping for new victims at. Evidence in a photo proves that Michael didn’t kill Rachel. But could photo shop have happened and caused things to be different than they appeared?

The fourth act makes people question more of Michael’s possible motives. They don’t think that he would work with an accomplice. Sherlock hopes to find more information through William. Ray did not kill himself like people think he did. He needs to figure out what happened with all of the information that he has now gotten. Sherlock tries to figure out the case but can’t seem to find the usual link that he often can. A judge from earlier comes up again. She committed the murder of Rachel since she was having an affair with her husband. This could cause issues with the case against Michael and she winds up taking a plea.

Watson is at the house where Michael shows up and assaults her. She leaves the place to escape from him or, at least, tries to. He prevented the door from being opened to the outside of the place and she goes to safeguard herself somewhere else on the second floor. She grabs a weapon and goes to confront him. I can’t exactly find a good way to recap this. I think that he is gone now.

The fifth act has Watson at a hospital where she was treated after the attack. It appears that Michael might have been injured during this attack. Marcus thinks that he might have gotten out of the city. The person has been found. Someone killed him. But who would have done this and why? Watson seems to be the prime suspect. And is he really dead or did he fake his death?

On the next Elementary, might have someone making a mistake of some sort. Could Watson have gone into black out, killing Michael and not remembering it? Or is something else going on? Maybe there will be a recurring villain next season that this finale will introduce. I don’t yet know if the next blog post will be on a Monday or a Thursday as usual.


I’m also annoyed that they are airing this against the Emmys, but I probably am not interested enough to watch the Emmys, especially on a network that doesn’t come in for me as it is on NBC this time around. I guess we’ll see what happens and I’ll explain more of what will change and happen while this blog is on hiatus, if it is immediately or not. Expect some things to be different in the next post like they were the last time before it went on hiatus. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

September 3rd 2018’s Episode

I don’t know if this season is winding down for sure or not. I think that it probably is as there cannot be much of it left as Bull is set to air in this timeslot before the month is over. I don’t think that they would air it some other time. It is hard to think that we are at twenty-one episodes already. And there will be another season at some point. Until then, enjoy this song about badgers.


SPOILER. Since there is a vacancy right now on the Supreme Court, it makes you wonder what I would want to say and know about it. If you google the word bork, that would explain what I want to happen to Brett Kavanaugh. He is too polarizing a figure and we haven’t had someone like that on the court since Antonin Scalia died. Spread the word to your senators: Bork Brett Kavanaugh. END SPOILER.

Mondays will now be confusing for blogs of mine. You see, since I finished doing regular updates of my CSI: Cyber blog on Mondays, it became open for weekly updates for my TV blog. And the only way that it would be open is if I rolled for and watched an episode of Survivor on a Monday. I then had to think of a solution in case updates of that blog were on Mondays and I rolled Survivor on Monday again.

Since I do not update more than one blog on a single day, this would mean changes for that blog and another blog. I considered my Madam Secretary blog to be next in line for updates as I do political posts in it during the summer or other times when I feel I should update the blog there if I can’t post about the most recent episode of that show.

Needless to say, I rolled Survivor on another Monday and thus things will now alternate between when I update my TV blog on one Monday and update my other TV blog on the next Monday. Thus, I will keep the alternations going until the last Monday of the month has a TV blog update at which point I will then consider it fulfilled and I will keep the Madam Secretary blog updated for the rest of the next month’s Mondays until it can be fulfilled (sort of) and updates probably stay there.

Of course, there could be another issue with this. What if I roll another Survivor episode on a Monday? Then what would I do? Well, that would depend right now on which blog was updated the previous Monday. If the TV blog were updated the previous Monday, then I’d update that one again before I would go back to normal alternations.

If the Madam Secretary blog were updated the previous Monday and this show’s season wasn’t over yet, I would put this blog on Mondays for that post although it would stay on Thursdays for when Mondays are otherwise occupied. Since the season should be winding down and ending soon, the updates might stop when the season does or I could find something else in this blog to update about until it can join the rotation and the rotation can end somewhere if it happens to fall on the last Monday of a month.

This would only happen as long as there is a season here to blog about. Otherwise, the post after the Madam Secretary blog is updated would go instead to my Good Wife blog which is updated still with cast updates and some other, random posts. If this blog were updated on a Monday, I don’t know what could go after it if the roll went that way and may have to start a new blog entirely in order to fill the gap of what could logically happen in my mind. A new blog would be about Bob’s Burgers. There are others that could work beyond that and I may have to blog about the rest of the NCIS franchise if I end up doing a blog about Hawaii Five-0, which I think would be the next in line. The same would be true of Arrowverse if I create a blog about Supergirl, which is also in line to be a potential blog.

The first act has flashbacks of things that I don’t remember. I hope that I didn’t miss something earlier, but I don’t think that I did. Watson is awoken by a strange person with a monitor of Sherlock’s head on his body. How long ago did these things happen? When did they announce that he was doing a cold case and who is this strange woman? A woman named Lily is missing and this man thinks that he’s going to be a suspect. But who is this man? I’m so confused. And are they ever getting back to Michael or not? Maybe he won’t show up again until next season.

The second act has this man talking about him being romantically interested in Lily. His name is Harlem, I think. Detectives come to his place to talk about Lily. They want him to come to the station. Watson then talks to a random woman about the case. She sees a man who is paid money to park places and sleep there in his car. That’s weird. Sherlock is annoyed that Harlem couldn’t make decisions regarding Lily and that is why he’s a suspect. A body is found of a man named James. Was this a kidnapper who is now dead?

Lily’s glasses are found at the scene. Sherlock finds an energy drink there and she seems to have been forced to do a math problem or some sort of research that could make her a murder victim once she has finished solving it.

The third act starts after barely a commercial break. Sherlock tells Harlem more about the case. There is a ransom demand that was made when they learned that her parents are rich. But they are more into her for the math problems. A man tells people about James. He was behind on his rent. Watson sees that there are ink stains from bingo cards.

The team then goes to a parlor where they talk to another suspect of some sort. Sherlock notices that some balls are missing and that the cards can be changed in such a way that results won’t happen. But there were other issues too with the case. There are some ways that Harlem could still be related to the case. Watson thinks that Sherlock is too hung up on Moriarty and that relates to the case. Harlem learns that Lily has escaped when she shows up at his place so he tells Sherlock about it.

The fourth act has Lily at the main office and she talks about the case in question. The math had related to Harlem’s work in some way. I didn’t quite understand how her escape happened. Lily shows them some of the work about how she wanted to create a potential flood range. Since it relates to real estate in some way, they think that flood insurance people might have been responsible. This one person has reason why he didn’t do it.

Harlem is glad that he finally told Lily about his feelings for her. They will wait until they she has a doctorate until they do more. Sherlock thinks that Moriarty might have been his best love, in his mind at least. Watson thinks that she knows who the kidnapper is.

The fifth act has the team bringing back a person from earlier who appears to have been the criminal of the episode. They go through the information that they have that could lead to him being convicted. Sherlock then talks to his hook-up from earlier about them potentially becoming an actual relationship. But will it happen? I guess we’ll see.


On the next Elementary, the penultimate episode of the season happens and it appears that Michael will finally make his long awaited (by at least me) return to the show or someone like him will show up on the show. I guess they don’t want to potentially spoil anything. I understand. I just don’t know why they can’t find something good to air. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 27th 2018’s Episode

There are many things to talk about in this post relating to this show, or at least, this blog. But I said that I will share animal songs in this blog and I will. I’ll get to more of the other things that I want to mention later in this post. For now, enjoy one of my favorite newer songs about Fireflies.


Something that the disguises that the two women has on in the last episode made me think of part of the Steve Martin movie: The Pink Panther. Basically, his character and an associate were able to help go through a place due to things that they wore. Sorry that this isn’t an English version as I didn’t look long to find one and just went with the first thing that I think was right.


SPOILER! Here are the Wisconsin senate primary results. Tammy Baldwin won Democratic primary. She had an opponent at one point, but not when it came time for the primary. Leah Vukmir ended up with the win of the Republican primary. There are some independents as write-ins, but I don’t think that they will do much in terms of the election. Leah is who I wanted to win the primary on her side, but I have yet to see if she would be a good choice in the general election or not. END SPOILER.

Movie update: Catch me if You Can was watched on Saturday and is now Déjà Vu. A home video was watched and it remains on the list to be watched later. If I do wind up being able to create a third list of movies to watch, it would be on Fridays. I don’t yet know if I will continue these movie updates in a blog that’s not this one this time around.

There were some parallels this season with what Riverdale also did this season. They had a villain known as the Black Hood show up. For the middle part of the season, he wasn’t part of the show as he was thought to be dead as one of the people using that identity was dead. Michael is kind of like that, only his real identity wasn’t a mystery to us or anyone else for that matter.

Something that I’ve noticed this season is that the airing dates of some of the earliest episodes of this season were exactly the one year anniversary of when the previous season’s episodes had aired. This works as it was on Sundays last season and Mondays on this season. I have no idea just how little this would have happened in any other show.

I hadn’t really given my thoughts on Michael’s return yet, so here they are. I think that I liked the way that they brought him back for the most part. He was going to come back at some point. I just hope that he continues to be a good villain.

John Nobel from this show was on Salvation’s most recent episode. I still don’t know if I should have done a blog about it or not. Since when I would post that blog could be a bit confusing if I had done that, then I should be glad that I haven’t done it. Plus, I don’t know what I would have done with it when the show isn’t on. Maybe I just would have put nothing in its place. That’s what I did with this blog when it had been on hiatus. And I’ll do it again too.

The first act has Sherlock directing some sort of music thing or appears to be at least. It is preparation of some sort that is interrupted by a phone call from Watson. Mr. Horovich comes over about a matter of life and death. This is a new character, I think. This person had written obituaries of people who had died before they had died with accurate details of how they would die. He predicted three people’s deaths so far and Sherlock is another predicted death.

The second act has more of David Harrowvich or whatever his last name is after Sherlock abandoned the thing Watson wanted him to do. Would someone gun down Sherlock on the street? David shows him the basement of this person’s place. What is the difference between reality and virtual reality? Do the people in video games cause potential issues for people?

There is a person from a previous case that they bring up. It is Mr. Baskerville. I need to read The Hound of the Baskervilles when this show is over to do a review of it for this blog. I’ve never had to do a book report for school so this might give me the practice I need to do it.

Sherlock thinks that someone, possibly an Atheist, wants to kill people in order to prove this theory and disprove God. You can’t disprove God. Prayer proves he exists. Sherlock is certain that the three people who died thus far are all murder victims. Mr. Baskerville might know who the intended victims are. He has written a long and lengthy will. Mine have never been that long. And all I have to do is get a notary involved and I don’t have to mess with lawyers. I need to work on my annual will. Maybe I should do that when this show is over.

Sherlock’s account has been drained. Did he only have one or are all of them drained? He is not shocked by this for some reason. They talk to a relative of victim #3 of this episode and let him know that they think she was killed. Watson and Marcus go to the roof and it doesn’t seem like there is much up there. They have tape of her death and don’t see any foul play which makes Marcus think that there could be something to the theory of clairvoyance.

The third act has Sherlock rewatching the footage with him thinking that a sonic cannon might have caused the death, only it is unlikely. David calls and the news was somehow tipped off into what had happened. Perhaps a friend of the so called psychic was an accomplice who helped kill these people. Sherlock talks to a news person and she gives information. Marcus and Tommy find a website that had leaked the information about the dead people.

I wonder if it’s possible that Michael is behind this. I do not think that he is, but he could be or had hired someone. Sherlock has gotten an update on his money or something weird like that. Henry Baskerville shows up again with some sort of information. A person tried to hang himself. This seems to have been to avoid a worse death.

The fourth act is when they talk to the person in the hospital and they think he was the killer. He says that he didn’t do it and might know who did. I don’t understand the pirate gold that Sherlock has now. Watson thinks that a page is missing because none of the predictions on it came true.

Henry caused a person to cause a false alarm because of a potential terrorist plot there. Didn’t that already happen? And wasn’t Alex Parrish falsely charged with it? I remember seeing this three years ago. I guess that the show is not on sync with the other one. David is now a suspect for some reason. He made them do some sort of thing that caused more problems.

The fifth act has Marcus talking to Tommy like they normally do. The side characters have to stay with what they normally do. I don’t fully understand what is going on. Maybe it is poor audio quality and the fact that I didn’t turn on subtitles. Watson found a picture that got the information he needed. A tree had given the information that they needed to find out how the crimes were committed: there was a part of the tree that made people highly subject to the power of suggestion. How that got them to where they were, I think I missed. It can be hard to stay fully focused when I’m writing this. I do wonder if I should live tweet an episode of this in the future. At the moment, I won’t. But I do need to get on to spread a current event hashtag I want to start. Edward F Dolan was an important person who worked on the show, but I don’t know who he is.


On the next Elementary, Sherlock once again wakes up Watson in a weird way with a thing on his or someone else’s face. That’s a stupid promo! I hope that they can do something better in the future. It is possible that they don’t want to spoil anything major. I just hope that they can get Michael back before the end of the season. When will the season end? It will have to end sometime next month. Know that it is possible that the when of when this blog is posted could change soon. I don’t yet know if the change will happen or be long term. Just have a heads up that it might be on a Monday in the future. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 20th 2018’s Episode

In the last blog post, I mentioned how I had a video with a link to information about the Uncanny Valley that they talked about in the last episode. Hopefully you watched the movie that I recommended. If you have, then you should be able to enjoy this video and see the reference at around the 3:45 mark. There is also a Wikipedia article about it as well.



I referenced a song from VeggieTales called The Bunny Song in the last post. I was inspired to do so because of the 3D printed chocolate bunny. There are three different versions of the song and here is a link to the original one that you probably won’t find anymore on DVD.


Something that has changed in my life recently is that I finally bit the bullet and replaced my phone of 8 years. Since ringtones were essential to the plot of the last episode, I thought that I would share a link with you as to what my old ringtone was.


SPOILER! The Wisconsin governor results happened and I’ll get to the senate election in the next post now that the primary has happened. To little surprise, terrible incumbent, Scott Walker, wound up with the win on the Republican side, facing no serious threats in the primary. I don’t like Scott and due to him supporting my state’s horrible governor, Bruce Rauner, I might donate to the winner on the Democratic side. If you read my Madam Secretary blog, I had supported Dana Wachs, only he dropped out of the race before the primary. He endorsed Tony Evers, the winner of the Democratic primary. There are other people in the race (third party candidates) and look out for a special political post in my Madam Secretary blog about the race in question. END SPOILER.

Movie update: On Saturday, I watched The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I replaced that with some graduation DVDs of mine. I’ll start with the one from grade school. I also watched a home video and that will remain on the list until I have finished watching it.

The first act has a strange woman who is painted in a weird way. Is she naked? I can’t tell for sure. But who is this person? And there’s another woman there too. Have we seen these people before? After helping with this, Sherlock is called into the doctor’s office who informs him that the office was robbed. We then see entomology, I think, which I don’t know what it means? Only a dead hand is found in this whole thing. As much as I like this show, it just doesn’t have many things different from most of the other procedurals that you see on TV.

The second act has the victim identified as the worm hunter. Aren’t worms related to programming in some way? Or am I confused? Sherlock notices problems with the footage at campus and thinks that it has been altered in many ways. Did that person just say that he stole DTD but didn’t steal it? I think that I misheard something there. Sherlock notices a problem relating to a woman named Iris. Is it that her child arrived from the future? A worm was named after her. Who wouldn’t want to have a worm named after them? Sherlock tells Watson about what happened regarding his doctor visit.

Various women are called into the office and have different reactions to the worm hunter’s death. One that was hard to find gives information. Becca is the last person that they talk to. She was cheating on her husband and she thinks that he stole her car and admits to killing him. This seems like an odd time in the episode for us to know what happened. He says that he shot him, but the team learns that someone else had actually done the killing.

The third act has the reinvestigation of the dead body proving that he was shot and was wearing a thing that got him saved from the bullets. Hoodies seem to be important to the case. There is then a place that does construction featuring a different Sherlock Holmes, or at least, someone claiming to be that person. Sherlock warns this mystery man that he needs a new identity. The hoodie (am I spelling that right?) is possibly worth killing over. The new person they talk to tell him about a worm hunt that he paid a lot of money for. He thinks that he knows why someone was after him.

Sherlock watches a video of a video game. I don’t understand why some people don’t understand why others would want to watch it. You can see experts doing things that you would never dream of being able to do and not have to try to do it yourself. Sherlock is getting information in exchange for help with two of the current cases. Worm means computer virus. I was right and it is a technological term. They find the person who admits that she sent a death threat with a virus on it. And that wouldn’t be thought of as spam to some people? I can understand not wanting to ignore it. But some people wouldn’t be threatened for any reason. No one would have reason to threaten me.

The team debates more of some of the information about the case. They think that the worm hunter had stolen the hoodie and that it is what lead to his death. If they find the person who had the hoodie in the first place, they could find his killer.

The fourth act is when Marcus and Tommy talk some and Marcus brings the gun to a firing range so that he can test the murder weapon. Sherlock notices that the person who promised to help him had not finished helping him. He and Marcus then talk to a person who might have made the hoodie, but did not do it. Spiders are important to the case and might have been stolen.

Someone had hooked up with a person and she might have lead to the spider theft. This is the second person who they had talked to with the dead worm hunter. She had the hoodie and gave it to him. Sherlock comes up with another one of his Sherlock theories about how silk worms died and how she is the killer. Silk worm, we make great good impressions last.

The fifth act has Mr. Holt who had appeared earlier as the person who spent money on the worm hunt. The worms killed rare trees. They want information from him to help with the case and the one woman had saved her trees somehow. Sherlock then finds the person responsible for theft at the doctor’s office and we don’t yet learn who hired him to do this.

The silk worm lady is brought in and they figured out how she saved the trees and that lead to his death. She admits that she killed him after she saw what he had done with the worms. Sherlock tells Watson about the theft being discovered. This leads to Michael being brought as a character that we’ll see later. I was wondering when this would happen. But I knew that he would be back sooner or later. And they might as well have told us when they learned that he hired someone to do this.


On the next Elementary, Sherlock has to figure out his own future murder or something strange like that or something else entirely. We’ll see what happens in the next show. Will we see Michael again? He does make for an interesting villain, even if he is just evil for the sake of being evil. I will see you again next week as you wonder what animal songs I will share in the future. You will see at least five. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 13th 2018’s Episode

Something that I have to keep you updated about always is any changes to the book rotation that I have. To date, I haven’t finished anything and have only taken one thing off of it and put it back on. Well, in case I haven’t told you yet, Lights, Camera, Fiction, is now back in the rotation and I’ll be reading it more again in the future.

SPOILER! Here’s an update in the Missouri senate election. Living near Missouri means that I saw all of the commercials that kept happening the day after the primary without a break of any sort. Like the Illinois primary for governor, people were acting like they had already won the primary and they did wind up winning it. Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill easily won her primary and Republican Josh Hawley won his easily as well. I don’t like Josh so we’ll see if he winds up winning or not. The Russians tried to attack Claire’s campaign so she must be doing something right. END SPOILER.

Movie update: There wasn’t much time for me to watch movies this past weekend. I was able to see Back to the Future Part 2 and replace it with Back to the Future Part 3. I still need to finish watching a series or standalone film from Sunday’s list in order for me to start a new list officially instead of going with the next in line to add to any list.

The first act has a sign shown of bad cop, no donut. What? Marcus has problems trying to finish getting his master’s degree while doing what he’s doing. I didn’t know he needed one. And since when was this a plot? There is a sex doll of interest relating to the Uncanny Valley. You know, I know a video that had mentioned that. I should share that in the next post. This doll might have witnessed the murder in some way, shape, or form.

The second act has a person talking about the sex dolls that are advanced in many ways. Skyler is the name of the doll in question who might be a witness. This show is weird! There’s a reason that people don’t like it, even if I think it is better than BBC’s Sherlock. Marcus talks to the robot who asks him for sex. He wants a rain check. Her reply, “I cannot check to see if it is raining.” The interview does not wind up helping much, but Watson notices that Skyler “is like a horny Alexa.” At least there is good humor. Also, isn’t Skyler a guy’s name? I’ve never heard of a woman called that.

Sherlock and Watson talk to the woman who is the inspiration for Skyler. She is mortified about the doll, but insists that she wouldn’t kill the person. She mentions working at a Catholic school, so hopefully they won’t do the usual attacking of religion, although they didn’t mention if she was religious or just worked at a Catholic case. Marcus talks to the teacher who rejected him for the class. This teacher does not like the company that he keeps. The next person that Sherlock and Watson talk to wind up giving them information about an incident that happened that might have related to the murdered person’s death. He reveals that teleportation is real somehow. This show is pushing the limits of reality at some times over others.

The third act has the same person talking about how teleportation could be real in a smaller scale than what it could be. He got an email through his blog, which I’m not sure how that’s possible. Someone had leaked the plans and it seems they might be against what they did for some reason. What was the thing that Sherlock did that pissed off the professor into not taking Marcus in as a student? There is then a bunny that is 3D printed from Switzerland to Sherlock. The bunny, the bunny, whoa, I ate the bunny. I’ll have to link that too in the next post. Sherlock then reveals that he was a drug addict back during the time that he would have known this professor.

Three people are talked to by Marcus and Watson. It is hard to keep track of who is who in these posts of mine, especially when they rarely, if ever, mention names of players. Someone broke into a locked room and stole plans of some sort. Someone, I can’t tell for sure who, but probably someone from some point earlier in the episode, appears to have been taken by the US military.

The fourth act has a general of some sort who will talk about the person who was captured. They think that the missing person is the killer. They also think that he leaked the information so he could continue working on it and not have it taken away by the government. Sherlock then apologizes to this person who tells him that he’s upset because he solved a case that was rightfully his to solve, if you can make sense of which pronoun is referring to Sherlock and who is referring to the professor.

We then see the person who might have been missing and wasn’t seen before. The three students at the labs seem to be the main suspects now. Crime a la Matlock: three suspects; which one is it? Is it all of them? Bruce would have been part of this group, only he wasn’t in some way due to some issue of some sort. Sherlock then talks to the Skyler some more. Also, do I want to know how there can be a lot of sexual positions? Even if you just include vaginal sex, there shouldn’t be a lot of them. Her musical taste might be the thing they need to solve the case.

The fifth act has the three people at the precinct and Skyler is there to identify the killer. Someone has their phone with a ringtone that is set up that Skyler heard and put on the music. Sherlock then talks to the professor guy again. What’s his name? A contact of Sherlock has a job offer for this teacher. Sherlock does not want to be this person’s enemy. Skyler wants Marcus to escape by saying that she had killed someone, only this is just Sherlock messing with people. Marcus sends in the captain next and learns that he is accepted into the class.


On the next Elementary, the case seems to relate to bugs in some way. The killer can hide in plain sight and it seems that motion capture might be a feature of the episode in question. There’s not much else to say, so I’ll be back next time with hopefully two videos: one that mentions the Uncanny Valley and another that mentions a chocolate bunny. Your homework now is to watch the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story if you haven’t seen it already so you can get the reference that is coming in the next post on Thursday. Guess you’ll have to wait to see what it is. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 12th 2018’s Episode

Surprise! I bet you might have missed an episode that aired on Sunday of this show. This messes up my blog just a bit, but not too much. I missed the episode when it aired and didn’t fully realize that it had aired until later. Thankfully, I can watch it later online. I knew that they would be airing an extra episode of this show at one point since they preempted a new one earlier.

It’s a good thing that I was able to learn of this episode. I was confused as to why the promo aired for an episode and then a different one had aired on Monday. It turns out that it had a day before. Was this change of airing mentioned in the promo and I missed it? I guess that I won’t know for sure. The post for Monday’s episode will come tomorrow. Now let’s get to the one in question that I very nearly missed and didn’t blog about. I just hope someone would have told me I had missed it.

The first act has a random person at Sherlock’s home who was doing an experiment with dead pigs in a river. This is quite a humorous exchange. Sherlock thinks that Watson was having sex with this person. I do not understand why it was there. A chicken named Irma is missing. I suspect foul play. Someone cut off the head of the chicken. There is also a headless person there too. I remember that my pastor had done a sermon on the beheading of John the Baptist.

The second act has us learning that the victim is named Gabriel. Gabriel was a religion professor and it seems that Sherlock thinks that there could be links to the occult relating to the murder. The professor cared about was occult stuff instead of good religions. We learn more from some person about what all could relate to the case. He thinks that a strange man with followers might have done it. Sherlock talks to Tommy about who could replace Marcus potentially. The people who work here get too annoyed by Sherlock for them to be good candidates.

Watson and Marcus talk to a person who is in jail for stealing a skull and he wanted them to stop by doing this occult thing. Sherlock learns that Gabriel didn’t have an enemy of any sort. Someone breaks a window with a glass bottle that somehow wasn’t broke in the process and it contains information about where they should go. This leads them to a priest who they think can help with the case.

The third act has the father talking more with Watson and Sherlock. He gives them more information about the case at hand. A woman is interviewed by Tommy about the potential opening here. There could be some issues, possibly some that she would have herself or with them. Marcus and Watson then talk to another woman. She thinks that a booze place of some sort might have done it. A woman by the name of Valentino is missing. That doesn’t sound like a woman’s name. When did this happen? I must have missed that. Sherlock talks to a person and reveals to Watson in his Sherlock ways that he knows that a person didn’t do the crime. Which crime?

The fourth act is when another person or someone from earlier is talked to by Sherlock and Watson. She is the person who threw the bottle through the window. I think that this person is Valentino and I did not quite get much else out of this part. She might have arranged her own disappearance so that people would think that she’s dead possibly. Tommy talks to a person about the incident that the woman had gone through with her partner. How interesting that a plot like this would have aired at the same time as a Shades of Blue episode. I need to see that online since I can’t see it live due to reception problems that NBC has where I live during the summer.

A person might have killed over the pictures that Sherlock is looking over and Sherlock had hung them upside down as a result. The head of Gabriel showed up. Is the killer trying to distract them? There is a politician who might have been responsible for the death in question.

The fifth act has the suspect brought in to the precinct. Sherlock says how he knows that he is the killer due to the wig that he wears. He was against a tax that could have lead to the death and seems like it did lead to it. He planted the crime scene to make it look like it was an occult killing and the chicken had his blood on his beak.


Tommy talks about how this person is too much like Sherlock and Watson. He wants someone more like Marcus since Marcus colors within the lines. Valentino, if that really is who I think it is, gives money for the broken window. She is pregnant? I’m confused by this. Sherlock is then seen shredding paper and he claims it was a bad idea that he’s destroying. Marcus and Sherlock then go out to eat. I don’t have any scenes from next time, but don’t need any as you will see it tomorrow. Hope that there will be no more of these weirdly timed episodes. Let’s hope that the airing of this show is over before the next breaking news event preempts shows. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 6th 2018’s Episode

I had mentioned awhile ago about how upset I was over the endings of Scorpion and The Crossing. I do have to wonder if at least Scorpion could have more proper closer since it is part of the NCIS franchise. This makes me wonder if it could crossover with MacGyver since it is also part of the NCIS franchise. As for what could work for replacing things like a time travel show like The Crossing and a show named after an animal, here’s a link to a video about a time travelling animal.


Movie update: On Saturday, I watched Shrek 2 and replaced it with Titanic. On Sunday, I saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and replaced it with Raiders of the Lost Ark. That’s not much to tell you about, but that is enough of an update for now.

The first segment has both Sherlock and Watson trimming the nails of a turtle while listening to Enya’s Only Time (or possibly a cover of that song). This show is so weird! Watson’s mother with Alzheimer’s is missing. We then get to Tommy and Marcus talking to a suspect of some sort. This suspect was having an affair with a married woman named Alexis. She was killed by him, it seems. Marcus then sees a bag that is randomly out and starts smoking for some reason. He quickly puts it in a room and he thus thinks that there has been a biological attack.

The second segment has Tommy explaining what is going on as the place goes on lockdown. The place is now in quarantine. Marcus chooses to stay in a room by himself. It showed up over a short amount of time and the person who did it might still be there. Watson’s mother shows up at the house. She had done this lunch four years ago and had forgotten about it, apparently. Sherlock calls the police place and learns of the situation with them. Sherlock wants to talk to a cartel. Tommy forbids it, but I don’t think that Sherlock will listen. When does he ever do what he's told?

Tommy talks to a person who came about the situation there. A similar attack had happened in Mexico and could have links to this one. Sherlock then goes to a club that seems shady. You can tell by the rap music that is playing there. It’s such an overused cliché. Sherlock claims that his car was stolen, but I do not understand how he could have done it so quickly or known what he was doing. I guess that it does not really matter as he’s really smart like that. Marcus is now allowed to be with the other people. One of the people who was sitting next to the bag that went off got a reaction of some sort.

The third segment has Sherlock talking more to a person who had worked at the cartel who had done the previous attack. Sherlock has info that they could use to take out an adversary of them. They aren’t behind the current attack and Sherlock tells Tommy that. They don’t know what Marcus might be sick with. They have to talk to everyone who’s there. I hope that they are smart enough to talk to all of the cops and not just the civilians. Others might be showing signs of the virus or whatever the issue is that is affecting them or that nervous about what had happened.

Marcus thinks that someone who was working with the freight elevator might be the person who got in or knew how to get in through the roof. Watson’s mother is back at her home, but then winds up locking herself in her bedroom. The CDC lady shows up and talks more about the device. It came in pieces and neither of them know what might be going on. Sherlock does a test and thinks that he knows when the date was that it could have happened, July 2nd. They learn that a cop did this. Didn’t I mention that I hope that they think it’s a cop in the last paragraph?

The fourth segment has a Shawn being brought up as a possible suspect. Shawn is a cop. He might have done the attack because of issues he had with the department. Sherlock has some strange type of food at his house. More information leads to Watson checking a database, only she can’t get in. There was a shooting in 2012 or 2010 that might be causing problems. Tommy then checks on something and learns some important information as the server of his department is missing. All of their data is missing. It is worth tons of money and could be a heist that is happening.

The fifth segment has Tommy explaining that he thinks someone from the CDC might be responsible. But it could be someone who was able to fake the credentials of a CDC agent. Shawn was responsible and so were two of the random civilians that were interviewed in the montage earlier. The repo man is someone that they know and worked with for the case due to shared money issues of theirs. Watson’s mother shows up on time to her house claiming that she has more good days than bad. She wants to hire a professional nurse to help her with her issues.


On the next Elementary, all of the pictures are upside down and there is a cult killer of some sort who seems to be doing weird things as usual. I do hope that Michael shows up again at some point because it would seem dumb to introduce him as a threat and then not follow through on it. I don’t know if this is a cult show or not. It has less viewers than it should have, yet still gets renewed for now. We’ll see just how much longer it will stay on the air. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

July 30th 2018’s Episode

Starting in the August update of my CSI: Cyber blog, I will be including John Nobel from this show in it. I do not yet know for sure if I will put any reviews of his movie in this blog or not. I might. If I wind up only being able to see it on DVD, then I will definitely put it as a review of this blog. Know that as long as I’m able to do a post of this on a Thursday, then there will be the potential for special updates of this blog when it is on hiatus. I won’t go out of my way to review movies that he does like I did with the movie True to the Game, but I will include them here if I can or at least there.

Know that you will not see any updates of this blog during Advent and Lent as I put my Survivor blog on Thursdays then. If this show returns, then keep in mind that the updates will probably be on Thursdays, but it may be some other time. Just be sure to read my CSI: Cyber blog while this is on hiatus and it will keep track of any updates.

Movie update: On Saturday, I watched Shrek and will replace that with Shrek 2. On Sunday, I watched Celtic Woman: Believe and replaced it with Celtic Woman’s original concert: Live at the Helix. I should also note that Fridays and Tuesdays will probably have movie watching in the future, but they won’t have it yet. I’ll make notes when they do.

The first act has reminders of Watson wanting to be a parent via adoption. Will Sherlock co-parent? He is then investigating a case and has a dollhouse and bear trap. The apartment is not baby proof. As long as Sherlock is in it, then it makes sense. We then go to a crime scene and Sherlock notices a drink of some sort there. It looks to be the murder weapon. Leroy, the dead person, seemed to like to blackmail people and did that a lot. But Sherlock thinks that things are more complicated and he seems to be a contract killer who kept records as an insurance policy.

The second act has files brought up and some important device is there. Interviewee #1 then tells the pair of Watson and Tommy about the investigation she was doing in Leroy. I hope that I have his name right, but I hate referring to people by their last name as I find it disrespectful. Leland is his name. He is not Leroy. Marcus tells interviewee #2 about his death and she, as usual, didn’t know about the dead person’s double life that for some reason the dead person tends to always have.

Watson then calls someone at the adoption agency over the phone and there are problems with her trying to do it. Interviewee #3 did not seem to do it and thinks that he wins negotiation by speaking last. There is then a murder from four years ago that need to be solved.

The third act has Watson talking to Gary, an adoption official, about her problems with the places that were his mistakes. Sherlock thinks that orphan illnesses are the problem that the second dead person seemed to focus on and profit from. Medina is his name, I think. Sherlock in his usual Sherlock ways learns of the problems that Watson had with the adoption agency and Watson didn’t want him to end up co-parenting or changing his life too much. Why do Sherlock and Watson live together? There is a person at a restaurant who might be a suspect, but winds up being a person who was framed.

The fourth act has Marcus going back to interviewee #2 and talking to her. She was misleading people for some reason. Leland had made a device from earlier to mislead people. Sherlock then notices a boy in a bed that is the reason why some things were happening. Sherlock thinks that he can figure out the case. Sherlock helps Watson by introducing her to a king of sorts. Adult adoption is the problem that is then brought up. Gary, the person who screwed Watson over, is responsible for this king’s son adopting people and making them princes and princesses to marry other princes and princesses. Medina, who might not be dead or still could be, might be the target of another hit based on Watson.

The fifth act has the not actually dead Medina showing up to the prescient. He didn’t kill Leland or set up a hit. But he did kill Peter, the actual dead person from four years ago. Why am I so bad with names? But they did find by hiring a hit man somehow who was responsible for Leland’s death. Watson then talks to Gary about the illegal adoptions and the options that he has. Watson and Sherlock then talk some more together while Bohemian feasts are brought up. Sherlock would want to raise a child that Watson would have since he doesn’t want to risk dissolving the partnership.


On the next Elementary, it seems that there is an issue with a bag that causes a medical issue that could be the end of Marcus. I wouldn’t think that it would be. I still have no idea when or if Michael is coming back to the show. It would seem odd if he doesn’t. It looks like a better episode than usual is coming up next week so hopefully it is good. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

July 23rd 2018’s Episode

I don’t know if there is much to say in this introduction to this post. I do know that the Monday shows that I watch are set for the near future. I’ll watch Penn and Teller: Fool Us, then Salvation, then end with this show. I do like Whose Line is it Anyways? But I don’t think that I’ll be watching it much, if at all, in the near future due to Salvation being on at the same time. I know that Salvation isn’t the better show, but Whose Line is easier to give up in the long run.

The first act begins with Watson learning about a person’s disappearance. This was a person whom this man had online communications with that he hasn’t met yet. Watson then tells Sherlock about the case. Watson worries that it might be catfishing, but it doesn’t seem like any scams have taken place yet. We see Sherlock messing with some sort of device. He might be working on his own case.

Marcus shows up with a person named Strider. Marcus has a job offer. Maria is the name of the missing person. Watson thinks that she has been kidnapped. How will we know when or if Michael will return? He might show up as a surprise, uncredited cameo at the end of an episode. Otherwise, he’d either have to show up in the cold open or not be a surprise appearance when they mention him in the opening credits of the show.

The second act has Watson and Marcus investigating the case at hand. There is evidence of a crime that had happened in the apartment. Her parents are brought into interrogation. Also, is it just me, or do others wish that there were more people in the cast? It seems too limited what all is focused on from time to time. I can understand why too many people would be a problem. But isn’t too little one as well? Sherlock, as usual, knows more than he reveals to the people. He thinks that this person is a camgirl. This means that she does sexual like things online. She was actually a financial dominatrix or findom. I will not be writing that as autocorrect will keep replacing it with fandom.

The man, whatever his name is, talks about why he worked with her. Why are so many innocent people on TV shows never honest in the first place? I think that some NCIS character pointed this out in one of their shows. What episode was it? I’m sure that I’ll see it again if it is in the first nine seasons of the show. Marcus talks with a new girlfriend of his. I’m glad that he moved on after the death of the person that he was with earlier. She thinks that he wants her to move in with him. But he wants to move for a new job. I don’t see it as happening, but it could.

Sherlock then talks with a new person about some sort of celibacy site that has people think of some sort of warped version of sex. There might have been talk about crimes based on what people think should happen or not happen with sex. Sherlock and Watson think that there is a way to track the info that they are looking for. There is then another crime scene discovered. A man is arrested there and he seems to be among the warped sexual people. But he might be nice. Or is it?

The third act has Kyle being interrogated. This is the person from right before the commercial. He said that he paid a toll that would prove his innocence. She was on a trip and he tracked her through some spyware technology. He might know an anomaly in her trip pattern that he was able to track from when she went on it that last time. If Strider is the second dumbest name that Marcus heard, what was the dumbest? Maybe older episodes would explain. But it is probably Sherlock. Speaking of Sherlock, he wanted to get rid of Marcus since he felt that Marcus is being wasted where he is now. Also, how are you supposed to write pronouns using different people of the same gender?

Watson knows that Sherlock recommended Marcus to join the Marshalls. Watson did research into this missing person. They go to some convention of sort in costume. Happy Halloween! Actually, it doesn’t have to be then in order for one to be in costume. Is this like comic con? And does anyone who is not a panelist not wear a costume? Why was Maria a panelist at the convention? I don’t quite understand this all or why this was a central point to the promo. Last week’s episode feels so long ago. Marcus thinks that he found another victim.

The fourth act has people confirming that Roman got abducted. They looked through the place and Sherlock is convinced due to footprints in the snow that at least three people were behind the attack on Roman. Who was Roman? It is hard to keep track of everything on this show. Sherlock learns that these people were making pistols. Also, why do they never give anything for Tommy to do? He must be the person who gets the least screen time on the show, outside of the one season main characters.

Tommy talks with the whole team about the case at hand. Marcus declined the job with the Marshalls. It might have been a mother and not a girlfriend from earlier. I’m confused. Marcus is too loyal to Tommy in order to leave his job. Sherlock warns him that they don’t hire people over a certain age. That’s ageist. How is that allowed? Marcus talks to a prisoner about Chrissy. Only, who is she? We learn of a person who winds up shooting at the cops. He wanted himself dead in order to avoid revealing information. That is how it seems, at least.

The fifth act is when the body of the person who caused the shootout is drug off with the team talking about the case at hand. An old person (I think) is brought back to the main room and I couldn’t quite get all the information that I could have out of it. Tommy wants Marcus to join the US Marshalls. I think that the person at the end must have been the main suspect. Am I right? It’s hard to tell for sure. Sherlock is then met by Marcus at his apartment. He might be leaving in six months. Are the missing people dead? I must have missed things.


On the next Elementary, Watson wanting to adopt someone is brought back up again. But they showed nothing about what the case could be about. I just hope that it is something interesting and that I can keep track of easily. I guess this blog is different depending on if I recorded it for later and if so, how, or if I live watched it like I am doing nowadays. I guess I’m not a good writer. But if you think otherwise and think that I could write TV show reviews for a living, then let me know. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

July 16th 2018’s Episode

Maybe in the next post, I’ll explain more about what the summer schedule is like for me on Mondays, if not on every other day of the week. I figure that Mondays are the most important since that is when this show is on. I also need to try to figure out what show replaced what other shows in terms of what is on during the summer. Meanwhile, here is another video related to an animal, this one being owls.


What has changed with the movie watching that I’m doing? Well, I watched another home video. I then watched Aladdin and replaced it with Back to the Future. Since I have the first sequel to Aladdin, this is the point where I’m finally adding a new list. The old list that I was watching whenever, but mostly on both Saturdays and Sundays will be on just Sundays. The new list will be on Saturdays. In addition to The Return of Jafar, the list will also include I am Sam, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Finding Nemo, and Catch Me if You Can.

This episode was delayed a week from when it was supposed to air. But it’s not on Sundays anymore and the Masters weren’t an hour longer than they should have been. But it was a breaking news alert from a man who can’t resist having an audience and putting an announcement during primetime. Thus, Salvation was pushed back an hour and the news special and the rest of an NCIS: New Orleans rerun aired in its place.

I don’t know how this will affect scheduling as they will have to make up the episode at some point. Perhaps Salvation will air an hour earlier at one point and two back to back episodes of this show will air in its place. Or maybe we won’t notice a difference and it will just air an extra week. If they did air two back to back episodes, probably as a largely two hour like special, then I would blog about them as just one episode. I just hope that nothing airs at an usual time without enough advance warning.

I could talk some about politics in this blog, but I won’t. Well, I might put things in spoiler tags if this show is still airing in all of August since I won’t be able to keep them up to date on some things during the summer hiatus of that show since I tend to discuss it in my Madam Secretary blog.

A thing that I randomly thought of doing was creating a blog about the show Salvation. I don’t think that I will do that. The only reason that I would relates to a rule I have about shows airing in other’s shows timeslots. But it has to work the other way. This means, if I did have a blog about Salvation, I would now have to create a blog about this show. But that’s not the case.

Going back to movie watching updates, I see Thomas and the Magic Railroad and replace it with Shrek. Meanwhile, Back to the Future is being replaced by Back to the Future part 2. I might add more lists in the future, but don’t know yet if I will.

Today’s episode is brought to you by should have aired last week and 0 minute delay. We begin with people at a crime scene. I had to put this on tape for later so I hope I didn’t miss anything. Marcus gives Watson a rundown of the crime scene. The crime scene might have been tampered with. Sherlock talks to Morland about the possible hit on him. Is Moriarty coming back?

The second act has Sherlock talking with a possibly random butler. The death of Sherlock’s brother seems dumb since we never knew him and he wasn’t focused on for a while. Marcus and Watson talk to a group of people who might have benefited from the death of Gilbert, the victim of the week. Sherlock thinks that Tim, a person investigating there, was acting odd. So was 17. Cigarette smuggling seems to be what the focus of the episode is about. Also, never watch a recorded tape on a high definition TV. I am so glad that I still have standard definition TVs.

Sherlock seems to have a beef with the butler due to a disagreement on cigarettes. Apparently, they taste differently. They have a taste? I guess that I’ll never know for sure as I’m never going to smoke tobacco, weed, or any other substance. Sherlock tells Watson that he doesn’t think that Moriarty behind the hit on his father. Marcus orders a sting or something like that. Darsha, the person whom Tim was looking to earlier, calls people as he is with the ATF.

The third act is when Darsha explains more about who he is and what was going on. Who is this guy named Washborn that they keep talking about? Did I miss something as usual? Marcus and Watson gain information on the case. Sherlock wants to talk to someone. Watson tells Sherlock more about the case in general. Moriarty is back somehow. Will we actually see her? I don’t quite understand this all. People wind up dead and it appears that they killed each other. Are things what they appear?

The fourth act has Tommy and Marcus talking more about the unlikelihood that two people would have shot each other over the slush fund. What is a slush fund? I should ask a banker the next time I am in there. I’m not entirely sure if the person they are interviewing was someone from before. Only it seems too soon into the episode for them to have the right culprit. Perhaps they can’t catch him until the next act. He does know information that could lead to the arrest of the real culprit.

A woman from the third act seems to be the likely suspect. A person is sent by Moriarty to Sherlock’s apartment. I don’t know what she might be doing. Could this be a fatal seduction? The music sure is mysterious. The scene ends strangely. The woman might have gotten on a private plane and was thus extracted from the place as she might be an agent of some sort.

The fifth act has us getting back to the man from earlier. Maggie was the dog lady person. They think that this man from the fourth act helped Maggie escape. Sherlock then talks to Morland about the hit on him. There is a ceasefire that Sherlock agreed to. He might take over his father’s business of taking out Moriarty if his father is killed. That’s what I understand from it, at least.


On the next Elementary, there are robotic related cases, it seems. Is this them trying to be hip? And isn’t every case different than usual? To say that one is more different from another seems unlikely in my mind. I guess we’ll see what happens in the next episode. The promo is too vague to make sense to me. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

July 2nd 2018’s Episode

I should try to figure out what summer shows this season replaced summer shows from other seasons. I would have to count this show and Code Black as summer shows even if they started earlier than when the summer did. You know some of my summer schedule. I had watched The Crossing and now it is over and dead to me. It just couldn’t have an ending.

Another show that ended poorly was Scorpion. I would have hated what happened even if it did continue. I don’t know for sure if Scorpion is dead to me the way The Crossing is. What I do know is that I MIGHT write a fan fiction to wrap up the story of the other show. One thing that I think of is that animal videos on YouTube might make me forget about Scorpion. And that is why I shared the sneezing panda video last post. You might see more later of other videos in the future.

You might not see movie updates as much in this blog as I was wanting to at one point. I’m going to be really busy this summer a lot and a different job has given me less time to watch movies. You will see the updates whenever something notable changes. For instance, The Two Towers is now replaced by The Return of the King. And Songs from the Heart is now replaced by Believe.

I might as well get to sharing what I meant to in the last post. There is a song relating to the Sandman. It is called Mr. Sandman. As a fan of the Back to the Future trilogy, I enjoy its use in the first two films, which is more than likely the reason that I can remember it so well.


The first act has people in an underground location of some sort when they break into a locked place of some sort. To no surprise, the people find a dead body. Morland, the father of Sherlock, shows up at his house and they talk about Mycroft or Sherlock’s brother. Morland has made progress dismantling the organization that Moriatry set up. Sherlock wants to heal the rift between them since he can’t do that with his brother anymore. Sherlock is then taken to the dead body. Sherlock thinks that the dead person was being turned into a mummy for some reason.

The second act has Sherlock telling someone about the idea that someone might have forged or tried to forge a mummy. How does Sherlock know all of these people anyways? I saw the name of Dylan Baker who I think was in Unforgettable in the opening credits so he might be the killer since I know who he is. I thought that Graham Philips might have been in the last episode (the person who found the body), but it didn’t seem to be him after all. Sherlock is convinced that this person was murdered and not just a dead person someone was trying to turn into a mummy. He talks to Watson more about the case. We also get updates about the situation with his family. Sherlock thinks that a person might have forged the mummy and another person did the murder. Marcus talks to a person who thinks that a sword instructor might be the killer. He admits to being a hit man. He does this because of gambling debts. Who is the forger and why does he or she want these people dead? It seems funny to me that the man asks for a lawyer so late. There are some more details that I don’t quite get.

The third act has more information about the newest dead body that they were investigating. We still don’t know much about what happened and probably will later as the season progresses. Marcus and Watson talk to a person about the case. Is this the same actor who did Colin Sweeny on The Good Wife? It might be. Another person is talked to about the case. This person said that she could investigate some painters by their brushstrokes. Sherlock and Morland talk more to each other as Morland waits for a car to get there.

An art forger might be the culprit of the crime. Sherlock noticed that some strange man was there with him and his father who might be up to some sort of evil thing. That means that he’ll have to pay the up to no good tax. Sherlock thinks that this person might have bought up undesirable paintings in order to make some more effective fake paintings passed off as real ones. The dead person was the (possible?) forger’s daughter. This is hard to keep track of.

The fourth act has this man, whoever his is, talking about his daughter being the result of a one night stand, or one night lie down, which makes more sense in my mind. People don’t typically stand for that, right? He is the forger, but probably not the killer, or, technically speaking, the person who hired the hit man. It was a different forger who might have done the crime.

I don’t know if I believe that carbon dating can’t be faked. I heard about people who thought that a six week old rock was millions of years old. People don’t seem to buy this person’s story. A person wound up shot and then dead. Is this even greater forger the hit man? I can’t keep track of names like a good blogger should. They think that they did find who this person was, the master forger. Sherlock then confronts a man who might have wanted to kill Morland. We learn information about it this way. This man then jumps out of the window of this multi-floor building to avoid revealing information.

The fifth act has us returning to one of the foreign sounding person from earlier. We then find who this person is who did all these bad things. This is the guy who I thought was like Colin Sweeney. Have I been this bad at writing recaps in the past? Maybe the names are too complicated to keep track of. Teeban? Is that what they are saying? Sherlock reveals to Morland about the hit man or asset from earlier. Now if only Jason Bourne can show up and do an epic fight scene. Morietry is back somehow. And I need to make sure that I’m spelling the name right. (I have no idea why the font changed for the last post.)

On the next Elementary, Sherlock’s greatest nemesis might come back. But isn’t she in jail? What about Michael? Is he going to show up again later this season? I don’t quite understand all of what happens on this show and it is far from being a really confusing one. I hope to understand it more in the future. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
