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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-0HmjXfU8

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.

June 25th 2018’s Episode

If you are a true fan of Sherlock Holmes, then you might know many details about Sherlock that I would not know. He might have used marijuana in the original books. Something that I like about this show is that it shows the negative side of drug use and why people shouldn’t use it. So many shows always make it seem like pot is a good thing or at least very humorous thing. I’ll never understand the push to legalize it. Keep it illegal.

The last time I told you about my movie watching, I had four lists with six options each. Well, it then went down to three lists, then two lists, then one list of six choices, then one list of three choices, then one list of two choices, then one list of three choices, then one list of six choices. I have decided to tell you about the movie watching lists from this point forward. The list currently has the following choices on it: Aladdin, Celtic Woman: Songs from the Heart, home videos, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Well, I had wanted to watch this episode and blog about it on Friday, but I had to be at work at a certain time and it took a whole lot longer than I was wanting it to in order to get all of it done. Besides, I might have given a different blog priority than anyways. Also, I have not had the time to find the Sandman song that I was wanting to share, so enjoy this video of a sneezing panda. I’ll explain more about why I am sharing it in the next post. Sorry that this post is as late as it is, but it should be the only one of this season that won’t be posted on a Thursday.

The first act begins with Sherlock in a car with some seemingly random person. He goes on one of his random trivia spiels. He and Donald Mallard MD would be good friends. This man wants Sherlock to steal a lot of money. There are then random people making out somewhere when rats show up and lead them to a dead body.

The second act has Marcus and Watson investigating the death. They then talk to interviewee #1. She talks about the suspect, who was a professor of some sort. I don’t know if this works with the whole time frame of the show, but I guess that it makes sense in some way as taking place any time. It seems that drugs relate to the case. Marcus and Tommy talk to interviewee #2, who is probably a drug dealer but probably didn’t do much worse than that. This interviewee thinks that research could have lead to this death happening.

Sherlock is then back with the possible car salesman who I might as well just say is shady individual Sherlock knows number x as I have no idea just how many of these people there are. All this person wants is his money back. Sherlock tells Watson about this man. I think that I need a name for this person to know for sure who he is. A person at a dog kennel gets distracted by fireworks or something of a similar nature and a person is able to make off with evidence as a result.

The third act has this man becoming interviewee #3. Sherlock thinks that a woman is behind the whole distraction. Is this interviewee #1? No. It is interviewee #4, a new person not seen before in this episode. She admits to stealing the rats because they are worth a lot of money. There might be a cure for aging that she was trying to find through the rats. Who would want a cure for aging? I wouldn’t. As bad as death always is, there is probably some sort of upside to it in the end. Think about anyone who know that has died and see if you know what good could have happened because of it.

Sherlock talks about his brother. I don’t remember much about him or why Sherlock would have issues with him. I used to have problems with my brother a long time ago. Now we are good friends. I have no idea what changed. Maybe I just hadn’t caught up in terms of maturity yet. Sherlock’s brother had a price on his head, but it seems that everyone who wanted this brother dead is now dead themselves. Sherlock didn’t learn this from his brother.

Watson then talks to interviewee #5 who knows more of the information about the case and gives them a lead of where to go. A new person is dead. If they were from earlier in the episode, I can’t tell for sure right now. Sherlock notices that there is paint and Watson notices that there is blood as well. A girl named Lacey is the suspect now.

The fourth act has Marcus talking to Lacey. Marcus doesn’t think that she did it. She was selling her blood to this newly dead person. This is one of those weird, possibly crazy, vampire like things, only it is something that I do, sadly, believe would actually happen in reality. Even if it is 100% done by only those willing to do this, I still worry that it could cause problems with potential willingness for it to no longer be done legally. Sherlock talks to this possible friend from earlier and wants to give this person money. I do not understand this at all.

Watson thinks that this all relates to burrito land in some way. I must have missed the part that talked about this. Hugo then becomes interviewee #7. Hugo probably didn’t do the crime or any other crime, even though he didn’t like what was going on. Sherlock talks to the strange person from earlier. But it seems that the situation is being sorted out somehow. Will Sherlock reconnect with his brother? All I know is that Sherlock’s father is appearing in the next episode tomorrow. Watson thinks that a person has the motive, but someone else used it instead of them. Sherlock lets Watson sleep in normally for the first time I remember. Sherlock thinks that a person who might have sabotaged the prize was also an organizer of the same prize.

The fifth act has more of the motive that Hugo mentioned against the whole blood trading thing or whatever it is called (do I want to know?) lead to Hunter as the possible suspect. Who was that? It turns out that he needed the money and would have kept it if no one wins the prize. I think that Hunter is interviewee #5 and a person that I called interviewee #3 is the suspect. Actually, no. I got the two of them flipped. Interviewee #3 is Hunter and guilty while interviewee #5 is okay. Sherlock learns that his brother is more than likely dead as we end the episode.

I won’t be able to see scenes from next time, but I have seen some of the promos for the next episode and know that Sherlock’s father is returning in it. Unless otherwise noted, posts will be back as normal for the future on Thursdays after the episode aired until the season finale happened. I hope that I can be kept up to date better in the future with who is named what in which episodes since it is confusing for everyone to try to keep track of things without actual names known well. Did that make sense? I do wonder if like sand mining, I can figure out what this main focus on the episode was. But this time, I do not really want to know much about it. Anyways, this is all for now. This is Adam Decker, signing off.
