July 25th 2019’s Episode

A show that is on right now that I like is called Instinct. I’ll admit that it is generic in some way as far as dramas go, but it seems like a good show. Since it has alumni from The Good Wife, it is possible that I will put people from that show in my Good Wife blog’s cast updates. Since it is one of the shows that are still on that replaced this show, it could wind up having cast members outside of Alan Cumming (who is already mentioned in The Good Wife blog) mentioned in this blog at some point should it end.

Movie update: I’m glad that I don’t have anything conflicting on Fridays anymore as now I can watch the movies then freely like I normally would. On Friday, I watched That Darn Cat. I replaced that with Titanic. On Saturday, I didn’t wind up watching anything. On Sunday, I watched Celtic Woman: Believe. It was replaced by Celtic Woman: Destiny. On Tuesday, I watched Despicable Me 3. I replaced that with what I call the crossover tape of recorded crossovers.

Getting to the last of the theme songs from CSI: Miami, I’m going to share with you the tenth season’s one as it makes sense to share it since this is the tenth episode of the season. There were no more seasons of CSI: Miami after the tenth one which was only disappointing based on how it ended by not resolving certain things. Honestly, though, this show wasn’t as good as it could be as I preferred all of the other three shows in the franchise to this. But I still like the show.


Going back to Schoolhouse Rock videos, a unique one exists called My Hero Zero. It would have been too easy to do multiples of one, kind of dumb to do multiples of ten, and entirely pointless to have done multiples of zero. But zero is important as this video will show those who don’t already know.


The first act has Sherlock and Watson doing a simulation of some sort. When they are locked out of their system, Odin shows up. He gives them a case that he wants their help on. A case relates to a man called Conrad and the screening of a movie called The Devil’s Foot that could be used for a mass shooting. We then get to a spooky tour of some sort where people find a dead woman who is not supposed to be there. Why is a really dead woman there?

The second act has Sherlock talking to Watson about a plagiarized podcast that was used to cover up a crime of sorts. The two of them look through the case and Sherlock thinks that Conrad needs to be looked into in some way. They don’t know yet whether to tell Marcus about what happened with Odin. The team needs to figure out how to identify the killer in question after figuring out who Jane Doe is. The case of Jane relates to a cold case. Sherlock is certain that he found the case’s killer.

Sherlock talks to Wesley Conrad. Wesley’s theory was stolen and turned into The Devil’s Foot. Tommy and Watson talk about the murder of Autumn, who is the cold case victim. They talk to the wife of the man that they suspect killed it. She reveals that this man is now dead. There were green carpet fibers that could relate to the case in question. Watson and Marcus talk to a woman who was living at a model apartment. Sherlock shows up there, having found a secret entrance. Camilla is the name of Jane Doe. If they can figure out who knew about this entrance, they would find the new killer.

The third act has Marcus explaining more about Camilla. He doesn’t think that any models knew about the secret passageway. He thinks that the building owner knew something about this. The models are brought into the precinct and the one they talked to earlier is brought in who thinks that the crime might have happened because of money. Peyton, the building manager, is brought in. He stole underwear from the models and admits to moving the body so as to not know that he snuck into the place. The team seeks to find person of interest Regina, but learn that she’s dead.

After talking to a woman who revealed more of what happened to Regina, we see Sherlock undercover using a great fake accent. This relates to Wesley as he looks through things in the basement. Why would a killer still live with his mother? He was able to find a gun stockpile that he confiscates. He thinks that Wesley can be reasoned with before any drastic measures should be taken. Watson thinks that she can find Camilla’s killer if they find her sister’s Regina’s killer as she thinks it’s the same person. Does anyone know if Watson was this much of an asset to solving cases in the original stories? I just know that it was often told from his perspective.

The fourth act has a woman explaining that her belief that Regina died from an overdose. But she was hit by a stun gun before that overdose was forcefully given to her. While looking for a person named Baxter, they find him dead with stun gun burns. Sherlock talks to Odin who gives him one of Wesley’s guns. Sherlock thinks that he has done what he needs to in order to stop Wesley from killing someone. He even tries to reason with Odin, saying that killing potential criminals isn’t the right way. Would Odin be willing to change his ways? While Wesley probably won’t be a killer and his intended victim might be safe, we still don’t know what all might have happened with the other plot threads of this episode.

Sherlock brings in someone that seems like that strange mouse like creature similar to Mickey Mouse that I think is called something like Deaf Mouse, but I know that can’t be right. I’ve seen a picture of this in Time. Another suspect has been brought into the case. Regina said that she had a child to this man. She wanted to keep her baby and the team thinks that the killer wanted the baby.

The fifth act has the people talking to this woman who knew Regina. They think that she might be the killer. While she thinks that Regina was an addict trying to start a con, they reveal the motive and the evidence to find that proves that she killed Regina to not lose out on the adoption fee. No idea what had happened to this child. Odin reveals to Sherlock and Watson that Wesley killed his parents and himself. He won’t change how he runs things. He considers Sherlock’s advice a failure.


On the next Elementary, Morland returns to the show. That was the gist of the promo. There is not much left to the show and we’ll have to figure out what will happen with Odin and the rest of these characters once the show is over pretty soon. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

July 18th 2019’s Episode

I won’t yet know if or when it happens what other blogs I might create. I just know what some of them might be. For instance, CSI: New York became different things until it ultimately wound up staying as the show MacGyver. That is, until MacGyver went way until midseason to become the returning Magnum P.I. It is worth noting that Hawaii Five-0 replaced Cold Case, also part of the CSI franchise. Via crossovers with at least one show, these 3 shows that I could start blogging about are part of the NCIS franchise. As for the original CSI, it is now SEAL Team. This gives me other shows I could mention random tidbits of the CSI franchise about besides this one. I may have to share those shows’ theme songs there.

Movie update: On Friday, I watched Déjà Vu. I replaced that with Beauty and the Beast. On Saturday, I watched a movie that wasn’t on the list of things to watch. On Sunday, I watched Celtic Woman: Songs from the Heart. I replaced that with Celtic Woman: Believe. On Tuesday, I watched Aladdin. I replaced that with The Aristocats. On Wednesday, I watched The Ron Clark Story. This is why my Survivor blog was not updated then. I replaced that with Pooh’s Grand Adventure.

For those who think that math is like a villain, you would have the same feelings as the writer of this song who, when needing to find a way to teach people about the multiples of nine, described it as a Naughty Number Nine. Now in reality 69 is the naughty number for reasons that you either know or do not. I do believe that in all of Disney Wikia, this will be the only song from Schoolhouse Rock to also be a villain song. There are even depictions of smoking in this video which proves that it’s a villain song.


Now as for the ninth theme song of CSI: Miami, the link to that is next. If I do cast updates in this blog like I think that I will be doing, I’ll add at least one person from CSI: Miami to this blog’s updates. As for the CSI: Cyber blog, it will also have new people added from that show from time to time. You will note that from the first theme song onward, I will be adding people in the order that they were credited. I will not add the same person to multiple blogs. So if one person isn’t covered in one blog, they will be in the other blog. We’ll see if I’ll add them all or not.


The first act has Watson looking at a murder in Phoenix. I’m sure that person will come back at some point in time. Sherlock wants Watson to leave this case to the NSA and the corrupt agent that he hasn’t told her about yet. There is then a woman in a welding mask who checks on her dogs and is killed by another person in a welding mask.

The second act has Watson wondering why Sherlock hasn’t given something to the NSA agent yet. He just says that he’s busy. The team then talks about a killer known as the ghost showing up. I thought that the ghost was a bomber that was after MacGyver. Maybe I’m confused. They believe that the ghost is the person responsible for this new woman’s death. Marcus and Sherlock talk to interviewee #1, who knew one of the old ghost victims. He talks about what had happened. There was a person who killed himself on the anniversary of this person’s death that Sherlock thinks was responsible.

Watson talks to interviewee #2 about Carolyn’s death. She’s the person with the dogs. He explains that he had a fake fight with Carolyn in order to help promote an artwork for later. He leads them to a man named Ben who they think was the ghost. Only Sherlock points to a different man who is the ghost. Mr. Woo is brought in as the person who helps the team realize that there is no ghost since he had done some sort of thing that I don’t quite understand that lead to certain deaths. But who is responsible for the murders of others? I hope that someone else understood that.

The third act has the team still looking for Carolyn’s death and it leads them to Ben. A dog was able to bite the killer. Ben points out that men came to her house and he thinks that she was a drug dealer. I think that means she was the ace. Hopefully the person with the king doesn’t catch her. Sherlock and Marcus talk to various people. A Mr. Fowler has multiple phones that are believed to be stolen.

Sherlock talks to Watson about the NSA case. He confesses that Agent MacMaly isn’t trustworthy with the Odin case. Sherlock and Watson find a pink haired lady who had an affair. She might have seen the person who killed Carolyn. There was a German shepherd that was stolen. This might have been what the killer was after this whole time.

The fourth act has Marcus explaining to Tommy about the dog theft. Why did the killer want him? It is revealed that this is a police dog who sniffed for drugs. Marcus and Tommy talk to the former cop who had this dog. They think that maybe the mafia was after it. Sherlock and Watson talk more about the Odin case and Sherlock wants to get her trust back by giving a special phone to her. Marcus is looking for the Santiago cartel. They talk to the leader of this who politely asks them to leave. Watson was able to do some snooping and was able to find a link to Milwaukee. She thinks that drugs were smuggled from train to train. They find the dog at the train yard. The pot was stolen. The dog was taken for a heist. The team has to catch up on what happened.

The fifth act has Watson with a new theory. She thinks that Diane, one of the people from earlier, might be a suspect. They then find the man who stole the phones from earlier. Diane gave him furniture and it leads them being able to catch him. He wasn’t really at the movies for long and the dog was able to find the pot he stole. Odin is then seen talking to a woman who talks about the Phoenix case. Odin wants to deal with Watson’s involvement in it.


On the next Elementary, Odin comes to talk to Watson and Sherlock, but they might not learn about much of why he’s here until later. What will happen? We won’t yet know. It’s hard to believe that there is not much show left. It will be winding down and over soon. Unless something suddenly changes, I should be here on Thursdays for the rest of the series’ run. I will let you know if something does change here in the future. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

July 11th 2019’s Episode

Well, when I’m watching this episode, I’ll be missing something that I would have liked to see. Since I have to blog about this show and don’t have much turnaround with it, I won’t be able to either see this episode live or to watch the feed. If I don’t see it live, I’ll have to update this blog on Friday. But I do not really want to do that as I’ve been ignoring my movie watching list from then for quite a while. Plus, I will be missing the live stream on Sunday as well. If you are interested, the LCMS Youth Gathering that I went to in 2007 and 2010 is happening now like it always does in years divisible by three. I have included a link to the live streams in case you are interested in it for the future.


Movie update: On Friday, as usual as of recently, I watched nothing. On Saturday, I watched North by Northwest. I replaced that with Madagascar from Monday’s old list. On Sunday, I watched The Little Mermaid. I couldn’t replace that with a choice from Monday’s old list. So I replaced it with something that my sister made called Decker Family DVD. On Tuesday, I watched Baby Boom. I was able to replace that with Bean: the Movie from Monday’s old list. This means Monday’s list is officially dissolved. On Wednesday, I watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh from Sunday’s list. I replaced that with the first Ice Age movie.

The number eight might be harder to multiple by than some other numbers are. But keeping with my theme of doing a video from Schoolhouse Rock in each new blog post this season, well, in honor of the eighth episode of the season, enjoy Figure Eight. You’ll get snippets from Lucky Seven Sampson at the start of this video.


Continuing with the theme of the number eight (my blog today is brought to you by the number 8 and the letter x for some reason), here is the eighth season’s theme song of CSI: Miami. I am planning to add at least one cast member from CSI: Miami to the potential cast updates of this blog, once the show is over and I’m still blogging about it. Meanwhile, the cast of CSI: Miami will also be mentioned some in my CSI: Cyber blog, starting this coming month. I won’t mention the same people in both blogs. Still, if you want to get used to more of what will happen, enjoy another version of this song yet again.


The first act begins with a recap of Mina, the crazy imposter from earlier in an episode I hadn’t reviewed for this blog and am still generally confused by. Marcus brings a suspect into the interrogation room and there’s a big ball there. How they’d get one of Chuck Norris’s testicles in this show? They caught the man in this overall unimportant case.

Sherlock and Watson talk to the fake Mina who they feel got away with the murder of an FBI agent, but not fraud. Cassie is what she calls herself, although she doesn’t know what her real name is. She then says that someone she cared about was murdered and wants them to solve it.

The second act has Watson reading about Heather, the dead friend of Cassie. Sherlock doesn’t think that she is telling the truth. Heather was an old foster mother of Cassie. Sherlock doesn’t think that most of her stories can be confirmed. Whatever went on with Heather, Cassie wants to make sure that this woman has justice. Marcus talks more about the case, but says to be careful regarding her.

Sherlock says what some of the rules and expectations are regarding her stay here with him. Cassie talks to a man who was married to Heather. Sherlock thinks that Heather’s death was just a random act of violence. Her husband thought that she might have been having an affair or, at least, acting suspicious. There was a weird think with work that had gone on, according to her. Sherlock sees two homicide detectives outside the house he was at and they say that the formula that Heather was using was stolen, which might have lead to her death.

The third act has people looking at the five families who might have done racketeering. An agent had been working with Heather in order to take down illegal people. This might have lead to her death when one got wise. Cassie wants to convince Sherlock that she had actually connected with Heather out of all of the people that she knew. Watson thinks that Cassie wanted them to lead her into the game. Sherlock is convinced that there is an agenda that Cassie has.

He checks the halfway house that she lives at right now. She was obsessing with true crime stories. We then see the people on the case talking to a suspect in the case. Cassie talks to Watson about a woman named Pamela who Cassie says is her mother who was impregnated by Sherlock. Watson doesn’t buy this. Cassie thinks that the suspect is innocent due to the gift that was gotten. It was a secret that Heather had liked this sort of gift. Sherlock notices that all of these true crime stories are unsolved, close to where they are, and had humanizing victims. This reveals to him that they are the targets that she was looking for regarding her own agenda.

The fourth act has Cassie talking with Sherlock. He thinks that she wanted a connection. He admits that he didn’t have as good a family growing up as she felt he had. But he still offers her advice. The team thinks that the suspect from earlier is probably in the clear. They still look for more information out of all of the suspects in the cases.

Cassie notices that a guy was likely to steal something based off of footage from a store she is shown. We learn that formula might be taken off of subsidies as a result of the case in question and a vote in favor of or against it might be important as well. Sherlock thinks that he knows who might be the most likely suspect in the case and wants to prevent a crime before it happens. Cassie comes to this man’s place and offers a bribe in exchange for her silence. I can’t ever remember silence.

The fifth act has Sherlock catching Cassie after she went to Leo’s house. Leo got someone to kill Heather and arranged a meeting to get money for her silence. This information is used to catch Leo. So is she a good guy now? Sherlock talks to her about finding out her real name. She can change her own name and be whoever she wants to be now.


On the next Elementary, there was a police dog killed that looked for weed, if I can tell what was there based on the promo. Maybe a woman was killed or just assaulted or maybe the dog was kidnapped. What I know for sure is that I’ll have to see the next episode to know what will happen. Know that the next post will be on Friday so I put another blog on Thursday instead. Then I should be updating this on Thursdays for the rest of this show’s run. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

July 4th 2019’s Episode

As I might have promised to do in the last post, I was going to mention the Thursday shows that I watch besides this one. I’m not too annoyed that they aired a new episode on Independence Day. This year was the first time in quite a while that I wound up doing something then. Now the show iZombie, which is also airing its final season, didn’t air a new episode on July 4th. But that might be more towards the style that the CW still does with airing shows. I’ve been watching reruns of The Good Wife for a bit now and might be switching to The Outpost soon. I can’t think of any other Thursday shows that I watch right now.

I’m wondering something about the plot of this show. Is Marcus still becoming a marshal? They had this set up as a plot point, but seemed to have abandoned it. Is it still something that could happen in the future or did he more or less abandon working for them after Tommy was shot?

Movie update: On Friday, I once again chose to watch nothing. On Saturday, I watched The Lion King. I replaced that with The Lion King 1 ½ instead of something from Monday’s old list. On Sunday, I watched Ghost Town. I replaced that with Shrek 2 from Monday’s old list. On Tuesday, I watched A Time to Kill. I replaced that with The Princess Bride from Monday’s old list.

If you know multiples, you might know some better than others. You might learn tricks about how to find out if a number is divisible by another and thus, which ones are easier to remember. The multiples of seven are worse than any number before it as it is the first prime not to leave you with much of a sense as to what to do with it going forward. Still, maybe you can get more out of Lucky Seven Sampson than I ever did.


I’d have to rewatch the show to see a lot of CSI: Miami to see what the difference between each of the seasons outside of the casts were. Here’s a link to the seventh season theme song. If you want to see another great show set in Miami, the final season of Jane the Virgin is airing now.


I kept referring to the new major character of this season as Orin. It turns out that his name is Odin, not Orin. He’s like the Final Fantasy summon that can instantly kill all your opponents if they can be killed that way. I don’t know if I should share videos of that summon here or not. I won’t just yet.

There is another Elementary reviewer that I feel like sharing with you about. This person reviews at the website tv.com. I’m annoyed with its lack of updates recently, but at least this person is still doing their reviews. I like parts of it, although I do wish that she (I think the writer is a she) would do more with her posts, but I get more than I would out of just seeing the episode by watching it.


The first act begins with Tommy being reintroduced to his precinct with the old leader (Captain Dwyer) at the 11th one going back to just that one. He talks about the World Series of 2000 which was the Mets versus the Yankees with the Yankees winning in five games. Tommy lost the bet and never had paid up yet. As a returning gift, he gets a giant shield. A woman comes up and announces her retirement which is to Tommy’s surprise. A man with a gun arrives at a place and some woman shows up only to find this man dead, thinking he had a different surprise ready.

The second act has Riddly, the victim, brought into the morgue. He was like a vigilante, I think. He was a thief of sorts. A drug that Sherlock thinks wasn’t spread a certain way was blamed for the death. They talk to Riddly’s girlfriend who talks about his crusade against drug dealers. Sherlock is convinced based on science that touch wasn’t what killed Riddly. Riddly might have neglected a cat. Sherlock was not at the return celebration for Tommy since he was busy dealing with Odin.

Tommy thinks that Captain Dwyer might have done things like sexual harassment while here. He thinks that officer Milocheck, the random woman cop from earlier, might have been negatively affected by him and Watson thinks that Tommy should ask him to see how he responds. She asks Sherlock about this. A cat was not owned by Riddly, according to Watson, but Sherlock notices cat hair, which doesn’t make sense due to Riddly having a cat allergy. Sherlock notices that this might have caused Riddly to use an inhaler which lead to him inhaling the drug that lead to his death.

The third act has Watson and Marcus explaining that the drug run was made to look like an accident. They think that the Russians are behind this. Did we portray them as villains a lot before 2016? Sherlock wants to talk to a Russian spy from earlier that was in the recap that I don’t remember. She used to be a stripper. What book was she reading? Was it a real one? She talks to Sherlock about Riddly’s death. Also, the drug used was fentanyl, which my computer can’t spell. Sherlock says that he could make the case go away if she wants it to. Later, we see Tommy talking to Captain Dwyer about what happened since Captain Dwyer has a history of sorts relating to this.

Tommy talks to Marcus on the phone as a new victim named Cicil is brought in. Perhaps Cicil is a dark knight who never became a paladin. They think that he was killed because he was a loose end of sorts. They talk to a woman who is grieving over this new death, perhaps a wife. It is likely that a foreign government might have killed Cicil according to the team. They find the stash house that was ripped off.

The fourth act has Sherlock and Watson talking about the case and Sherlock’s color code system. Cicil might have been killed by Riddly. They have to find out where Cicil’s money is in order to find out what they need to solve both cases.

Sherlock meets with the Russian woman at a nice restaurant where she talks about different things and points to where a person lives. This place is exploded. Tommy talks to officer Milocheck. She thinks that there are more issues at this place and thinks that the only nice man here was Tommy. She doesn’t want to make the news as she feels that she will be blamed for what had gone on. I don’t quite get what might have happened. Sherlock told the CIA about the bombing at the apartment. While looking for information, Watson thinks that a page cracked the case and shares it with Sherlock.


The fifth act has Cicil’s wife brought in as the final suspect. They explain how a new policy would require them to clean money which required a change in the law. She thinks that it was all Cicil’s fault. But the cat hair was likely the reason that she was able to be caught. Officer Milocheck then explains what had happened to her. It was bathing suit pictures that were sent by Captain Dwyer with comments. Tommy insists that he’s a cop friend until the end. That’s it for this episode in question. I should see you back on Thursdays as usual next week. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
