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.
