Elementary Send Off Post

Well, Elementary is over. There will never be another new episode of the show again. I’m glad at least that it ended well and on its own terms. I don’t think that it lasted too long and ran out of good ideas, nor was its time too short. It didn’t end on a cliffhanger or otherwise bad finale. Still, I feel like posting a song of lament for it. I give you The Soft Goodbye.


With this show ending, another will be sure to replace it. In fact, that has already sort of happened twice. It was a summer show this last season so I won’t know until June (or whenever the summer schedule is announced) what its final replacement will be. It was replaced at one point by Instinct. It was also sort of replaced by FBI. I’ll keep track of what replaces it in the future.

I’ve mentioned some of this before, but I can’t really do a proper send off post to this blog without also talking about some of the finale. I couldn’t exactly make sense of some of the finale. But I was able to get enough of it to consider it more middle of the road in terms of ending. It wasn’t one that will go down as one of the greatest, but it isn’t bad either. There were still two evil groups that still needed to be fought and Sherlock wanted to make sure he was fighting them. Thus, it is kind of open ended as most of the team would still continue the fight.

Something that I don’t quite understand is that Marcus was at one point going to be a Marshall, but they seemed to abandon that plot point with little to know explanation. Did I miss the resolution? Did he simply reject it and I missed when this happened? Why even bring it into the series as a plot point just to abandon it with little to know explanation?

Now even though this show is ending, the blog will continue. What would I do? Well, if you ever went to my CSI: Cyber blog like I suggested the two times this show and blog were both on hiatus, you would know that I was doing cast updates on the show. I’ll talk about any and all projects that the cast and man who created this show are doing now. I’ll do reviews where I can of new things.

Here’s the point of the blog now. It will cover Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, Aidan Quinn, Jon Michael Hill, John Nobel, Desmond Harrington, James Frain, and Robert Doherty. I do plan to add at least one person from the cast of CSI: Miami. I would post about Nelsan Ellis, but since he died and his last project has come out, there’s really no need to keep him in this blog at all. But this continued blog will be dedicated to his continued memory.



While I will be doing cast updates, also expect random posts in addition to cast updates. You will know in the next post what the cast updates are and are like. I’ll try to talk more about the Sherlock Holmes franchise, maybe doing reviews here and there of other things relating to Sherlock Holmes. I need to read The Hound of the Baskervilles sometime. I should keep track of which books I’m reading in what I call the rotation of books. The current four that I’m reading are The Sentinels, Deadly Heat, Amazonia, and The Silmarillion. If I added The Hound of The Baskervilles to the rotation, I may take out the others and just read that until I’m done with it.


This show has had a good run. I’m even a bit surprised that it lasted as long as it did. But I plan to be back at least once a month with cast updates. Expect them on Thursdays for now after the first Friday of each month. When it is posted might be subject to change depending on what other blogs might do as well. But I hope that you continue reading this blog if you want to and you will learn about what the cast of this show is doing. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 15th 2019’s Episode

I have no idea what I should be saying about this blog post before the episode airs. I’m a bit worried that it might not be a good ending. If that’s the case, this blog will be replaced by a new one and the next post of it will be the last one. If that’s not the case and I either do like the ending or it is more average and in the middle ground of finales, then this blog will continue the way my CSI: Cyber and Good Wife blogs continued after their respective endings. You’ll see more of what happens in the next post. I also might not waste any time telling you why this blog would be later than Thursday if that’s the case. Know that I might have to abandon watching it in the middle of the episode to continue it later.

Whatever happens in this blog, I’ll have to find a new blog to post links to previous episodes of Madam Secretary in. This will be the last one that I share. I mention watching Farscape in it which I’m watching more of since a friend is letting me borrow the fourth season. I also complain about things airing or not airing against award shows. But I was wrong thinking that only The Golden Globes have regular shows on against it. I also talk about all the Sunday shows that I watch at the time. I’m watching Instinct and am not into Bulletproof having seen it once. I might watch more of To Tell the Truth and Celebrity Family Feud. The shows I was watching on Sundays changed recently.


Movie update: On Friday, I watched Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin.  That was replaced with Rat Race from Saturday’s old list. On Saturday, I watched The Aristocats. I replaced that with The Sound of Music from Saturday’s old list. On Sunday, I had no time to watch movies. On Monday, I watched part of my crossover tape. That will be the last movie update of this blog. I will now be moving these updates to my Madam Secretary blog again.

Let’s recap the choices one last time before the list is moved and changed as a result. Sunday’s list is Bambi, Decker Family DVD, Ice Age, The Lion King 1 ½, Pleasantville, and Shrek 2. The dissolving list is Copacabana and Madagascar. I might keep you updated here by what happens with those two choices. Friday’s list is Adventures in Babysitting, Beauty and the Beast, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Lilo and Stitch, Rat Race, and Titanic. Saturday’s list is Bean: the Movie, the crossover tape that I have of 3 crossovers, Nature Documentaries, The Omega Code, The Princess Bride, and The Sound of Music.

There are two more videos that I want to share in this blog post. I’ll also share another in next week’s one. I share a lot of YouTube videos in most of my blogs. The first one contains a counterpoint to a video that I shared earlier. After sharing Everything Great about Rogue One, I shared Everything Wrong with Everything Great about Rogue One. Now, I’m sharing a video by the same channel as the second one that sinned his own Everything Wrong with Everything Great about Rogue One video. I’ll share the name of this and when that part of the video begins. He admitted in the comments of another video that it was a mistake to sin CinemaWins.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrgXtfDQ13o (The resinneninging, part starts at 16:41)

Since I kept sharing the ten or less versions of the CSI: Miami theme songs, I thought that it would make sense for me to share the complete version of the song: Won’t Get Fooled Again. This is a lyric video of the song in question. I can’t tell by comparison where they get the theme song portion for the song or if they did an original, shorter version of the song for the TV show.


I’m not sure if I have that many thoughts before the finale. SPOILER. I heard that there will be a time jump in it at some point in time. Maybe this whole episode will take place in the future. END SPOILER. I hope that it is good. I’m just remembering that the How I Met Your Mother finale revealed little about the episode in the promo for it and it sucked. But there wasn’t much revealed in the promos for the series finale of The Big Bang Theory and that was pretty good. I guess I’ll see what happens. I mean, there might be a major spoiler in the beginning of the episode like in The Flash’s season 3 finale which is why they didn’t reveal much about it. I just hope that I can watch this all in good time.

The first act has us beginning with a newscast on a trial of Odin. Why are the tech guys always evil? The only except I can think of is Jason Bourne. Odin was found guilty and given a life sentence. Joan Watson talks about the case and how the supposed murder of Sherlock was a crime Odin was never charged with. Marcus comes in with a case. Watson sees a child that’s important in some way. Marcus is now captain of the NYPD.

Watson talks to a man at her house about Moriarty and learns that she is dead. Since Watson was named Sherlock’s sole heir, she is getting a mystery package from Moriarty. While talking to a friend named Lois, Watson wonders what to do regarding the case. Sherlock shows back up to her house and place where she lives. Someone is trying to kill Watson. She needs Sherlock’s help solving the case.

The second act has Sherlock talking about the mulled head stone of his. Watson was able to stage part of the crime scene to help plant the idea that he was dead. She was also mad at him for not contacting him before. Moriarty is still alive and in control of her criminal enterprise again. Sherlock has been taking on various identities and doing various cases throughout the world. Watson finds that the man who contacted her, the attorney, wound up dead. She arranges a meeting with Sherlock to talk more about the case. Also, the random child is one that she adopted. Sherlock tells Watson not to mention that she knows the victim.

Sherlock explains more about what he has been doing and why he stopped contacting Watson. He knew that she would always look out for him. He didn’t want her child in danger. Watson had told Tommy and Marcus that Sherlock was alive. This leads Marcus to punching him over this.

The third act has Marcus explaining that he is married now with a child. Tommy retired and his wife had died. The team was at the dead man’s house looking for clues to his murder. They talk to a man about the case. They are looking for a man named Adair. Sherlock looks through evidence with a card and tells Watson that he thinks someone other than Moriarty was behind this. Where did the card come from? Watson talks to a woman from Moriarty’s organization. She admits to killing this man, but also using Watson to learn more information that she otherwise wouldn’t have.

Adair was the name of the dead man, not a person of interest. He was killed by Moriarty’s people since he used her name in vein as if she’s some sort of god. While underground, Sherlock called Watson and loses the signal when he runs into the crooked NSA agent.

The fourth act has Sherlock expecting to talk to Odin instead of his agent. He was cleared from this as Odin wanted to keep the NSA out of it. This man wants to recruit Sherlock to be a government agent. Sherlock thinks that there is a catch. Can Sherlock keep being a ghost? Watson and Marcus talk to each other about what Sherlock has been up to lately. There is a secret that Watson is keeping.

Sherlock then shows up at her house. Elerey, Moriarty’s associate, knew too much about Sherlock’s adventures. He wants to take up McNelly’s (the NSA agent) offer in order to pit Moriarty’s evil organization against the one that Odin has. They both know that Sherlock is alive. Sherlock talks to Tommy and gives him a hug. Sherlock had or almost had a drug relapse. Tommy reveals the secret about Watson. He learned about the Talivech case. Watson has cancer. She will be starting chemo soon.

The fifth act has yet another time jump of one year with Moriarty having died during this time. McNelly talks to Sherlock about the offer Sherlock declined. Sherlock doesn’t regret not doing this time jump. We see him talking to Watson and wanting to prove that Moriarty is dead for sure. Watson wants to return to work and it seems that they are talking to Marcus about doing that together. Here the series ends with it unknown whether or not they are returning to work. Sherlock finds more proof that Moriarty is still alive and they need to hunt her down.

Here the series ends. I say that this is about a middle of the road or average series finale. It wasn’t that great an ending, but it wasn’t bad. I tend to like the “off to the next adventure” endings, if only not to hate certain series finales that end on cliffhangers or things like it. We never saw much of Odin in the last episode and I don’t know if that’s good or bad. It seemed to be mostly unrelated to other episodes which is kind of random. But I do like the ending.


Now what’s going to happen with this blog? Well, stay tuned to it as the posts are far from over. In fact, they have no current end date in sight. Pay attention as the next two Thursdays should each have a new post of this blog in it. You will then see a post at least once a month, but maybe not on Thursdays like you have been used to. Potential days of the week that you’ll see this blog on are on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. It could wind up on other days as well. Next will be a special send off post of it then I’ll get to doing something else. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 8th 2019’s Episode

There’s not much to say as this show winds down to the end. It will be over soon and this blog might continue or it might not, depending on if I find the ending to be terrible or not. There will be at least one blog post after the series finale, but will probably be more. You’ll see what the cast updates will be like and it won’t be able to happen the first time until after the CSI: Cyber blog of mine, which currently has two people from this show mentioned in it. I need those people transferred here.

The last Schoolhouse Rock video that I’m going to share is Little Twelve Toes. I won’t be sharing any more. Maybe I should share more of the computer game that has me so interested in multiplication rock that I’m sharing here now. This video teaches you multiples of twelve. They never went higher with the multiples such as going through 13 or higher. I think that 37 would be interesting.


If you read my Madam Secretary blog, you will know that every other main post included a link to one of the posts of this blog. Well, I’m now going to put a link to main posts from Madam Secretary in this blog. I’ll have to find some other place to put these blog posts in later. In this blog post, I talk about Christmas things as this was a sort of Christmas episode. There was an attack on people in this blog. I also notice that the villain thinks that the wrong person is the traitor, something that happens often in shows and movies. I think that I mentioned the delays of shows as well, but probably not by much. This episode ends on a cliffhanger, but don’t worry: I’ll get the next episode in the next post.


The first act has Watson wondering if Sherlock is okay since his father is dead. The woman who had worked for Odin and was going to turn on him was killed in a house fire. Sherlock goes to the scene of the crime where he notices that it isn’t his father’s car there at the crime scene. Sherlock notices that they are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine, that spies on you every hour of every day. Wait, that’s a different TV show. The car explodes.

The second act has the team, all okay, talking to Tommy about what to do. He wants them on protective detail. Tommy confronts Odin himself. Odin thinks that Sherlock shared his theory. It’s more than a theory. A theory of the song that I used to play. Is there a reason that Odin isn’t arrested? Do they not have enough proof to take him in? Sherlock notices that a watch on his father’s body doesn’t match the watch that he should have. Why would they steal a watch? Marcus talks to a man at a store about the watch in question. Marcus tells the rest of the team about this. More police look through a house. This is where Sherlock finds that a person killed three hours and burned their bodies.

The third act has the medical examiner talking about the victims, all of whom used to be in the military. He believes that the killing was execution style. The ME likes Odin and has one of his phones. We then see a man talking to his daughter. Sherlock talks to this man. While this man thinks that Sherlock might have crossed a line by showing up here, Sherlock insists that he doesn’t mean any harm to either of them. This man will wind up in prison, according to Sherlock.

Marcus and Watson talk to an older man who can tell them about Adreeanos or whatever it is called. Who or what is that? I have no idea as it seems random. Odin then runs on a trail to talk to the man that Sherlock talked about in the car earlier. Odcor has issues that Odin wants to fix. He is very angry at all of this. Back at Sherlock’s home, a pizza that Watson ordered arrives. Their security detail is sure that there is not any poison in this food. Watson has a lead into a possible person who can testify about Odin. I’ve seen enough two parters of Matlock to know what could happen.

Sherlock and Watson talk to the old man who is dying who might know more about the case, but he doesn’t want to say anything outside of wanting a lawyer. Maybe he is the key to all of this. Or maybe, we won’t be able to take the big bad down until the series finale.

The fourth act has a prosecutor saying that this older man, Frederick, can’t be charged right now. All that Sherlock thinks that he’s done has made the case worse by tipping off Odin unintentionally. Back in his house, he talks about being the only Holmes left. Privately, he talks to Watson. He thinks that they have to plan a murder of their own. Odin talks to his associate about what to do over the cases.

Watson tells Marcus that Sherlock is about to make a mistake. Odin is on a bridge where Sherlock is. Sherlock has a gun as he explains how he arranged this meeting. Odin doesn’t think that Sherlock will shoot him. They talk to each other about various things. Sherlock does pull out a gun on Odin. Gun shots are heard as Odin is arrested with Sherlock having fallen into the river.

The fifth act has Marcus worried over Sherlock who is missing in the river. They can’t find him. Is he dead? I doubt it. Tommy talks to the now arrested Odin. Odin is being charged with murder. He claims that he shot Sherlock in self defense. Tommy is convinced that premeditation happened with the killing. While Tommy isn’t sure that Odin will be convicted of Sherlock’s murder, he is convinced that he will be able to take down his criminal organization. Marcus talks to Watson about how Sherlock might have lured Odin out onto the bridge. A living Sherlock is in a foreign country wanting to buy a place.


On the next Elementary, it is time to say goodbye. Hear the song that I sing to you, when the time has come to fly. I’m not sure when the next update will be. I think that it should be on Thursday, but if it is not, it should be back on Sunday or Monday. There will be a post after it regardless of what else might happen in the show. They haven’t revealed much about the finale in the promo, which might honestly be a red flag of sorts. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see the episode live depending on what happens with possible family visits or stuff like that. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

August 1st 2019’s Episode

As I’m writing this post, I’m unable to know for sure when I’m going to be able to post it. What I do know is that if I do the cast updates of this blog, the posts might no longer be on Thursdays. But I have a temporary job and this post might not be posted until Sundays. If you see me writing in the old font that I haven’t had to use since the show was on Sundays, that means that I joined the episode in progress. We’ll see when this is published.

Movie update: On Friday, I watched American Dreamz. I replaced that with Adventures in Babysitting. On Saturday, I watched Absolute Power. I was unable to replace that with anything. Thus, Tuesday’s list will now be on Saturday while Saturday’s list gets dissolved.

On Sunday, I watched Celtic Woman: Destiny. I had actually reviewed this the first time I saw this in my Madam Secretary blog. I’ll post a link to that blog post next. Now that I know the set list, I might as well post what it is. Destiny intro, Siúil A Rún, Ride On, The Whole of the Moon, The Hills of Ireland, You Raise Me Up, Sí do Mhaimeó í, How Can I Keep from Singing, Skyrim Theme (Dragonborn), My Land, Bean Pháidín, I See Fire, Isle of Innisfree, Tír na nÓg, Sometimes a Prayer Will Do, Amazing Race, Óró Sé Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile, Like an Angel Passing Through My Room, Walk Beside Me, The Butterfly, and Westering Home. I don’t think that I got it right in the blog post.


Celtic Woman: Destiny was replaced by The Lion King 1 ½ from Saturday’s old list. At this point, I’ll have to take a break from movie watching in general as I will just not have time for it since I’ll be doing a temp job that will take up a lot of time that I would normally spend watching movies. I should have another update in this blog before the show is over. Either that or it will be in my Madam Secretary blog in the first post of that season. I should post a reminder of where the list stands at some point before the end.

Something that I should tell you about is the Odin summons from the Final Fantasy series. I found what might be a good, quick video about it considering how I don’t really have the time to explain all of the summons from each of the games that he appeared in. I hope this is a good video in the meantime. I might have to find some other blog to post these summons in.


Now another video that seems simple at first and then gets a bit more complicated is Good Eleven. It explains the multiples of eleven. Thankfully, it doesn’t stop at 9x11 like it possibly could. You won’t see that good a multiple again until either 37 or 101.


So work ended up taking a long time and I don’t think that I would have been able to see the episode by the end of Thursday as I would have wanted to. This is why this is now published on Sunday instead. I know this will mess up my Good Fight blog, but that shouldn’t matter too much. Keep in mind that I will be doing this job next Thursday and then will be back to normal until it possibly changes again for more of a long term time than this. I won't know for sure myself when this blog will be posted in the future.

The first act has Watson explaining the Wesley case to Sherlock. She thinks that it wasn’t his fault. He points out to her that he had eyes on Wesley’s house and the feed cut. He thinks that Odin staged the scene to look like a murder suicide or otherwise cut something and kept it secret from them. Sherlock brings in his father, Morland, to help on the case.

The second act has Sherlock explaining more to Morland about what all had happened. Morland says that he has friends in high places that could help solve the case. Meanwhile, Odin talks to his associate, a woman whose name I don’t know, about some of what is going on. A Mr. Pringle talks to a person who wants him to be careful with his gun. Shouldn’t everyone be careful with them? Stuart Pringle decides to go in as bait, pretending to be a would be killer in order to be sought out by Odin.

Morland talks about his son to a woman. Sherlock is then seen with a woman who he captured before she could do harm to Stuart. Sherlock admits to inventing Stuart in order to lure her here. She had come with a gun and it made more sense as to why she was sort of kidnapped by him. Watson and a man look through her house in the meantime. They find more of what they need to in order to find out what was the way their crimes were done. They were using fake shopping to real addresses in order to explain to others what had gone on. Watson thinks that she found another victim.

The third act has Sherlock talking to the woman he kidnapped? He talks to her about a Talia that she had killed. There is blue blood (Fridays at 10/9 Central only CBS) that was able to link her to the crime. He wants to help her due to the problems she now has. Back at his home, Watson throws tissue paper around on camera. I have no idea why. They talk more about how to take down the big bad. What is with the crab blood anyways? They seem to use it a lot in this episode. Why did Odin want to take out Talia anyways? They don’t quite know just yet. Someone gives Odin an ultimatum: he has to resign from his company in order to get half of the world to join it. Sherlock realizes after researching more of the case that Talia was killed in order for Odin to make more money.

The fourth act has Marcus talking to Sherlock more about the cases. Odin comes to see Sherlock at the precinct. Odin didn’t want to be recorded. He explains that he shouldn’t be forced out of Odkor since he uses it to save lives. Odin claims that Talia’s death was to save more lives. Sherlock is convinced that she was an innocent life. Watson then talks to the captive woman. Was she convinced that Talia was a bad person when she wasn’t? Sherlock talks to Morland about the case and other things. Morland claims that he always comes. This can’t be true as a recurring theme in early seasons was that he never shows. I wasn’t even sure he would show up in the show.

The possibly captive woman is emotional explaining some of what had gone on. She might have been manipulated in some way into doing what she did. Was it like how Bobby Malone died? They want her to go forward to the police about Talia’s death and two others that she was assigned. Morland talks to the woman from earlier. He is able to deduce that she is now on Odin’s side.

The fifth act is when Sherlock talks to Tommy. We haven’t seen enough of him and Marcus this episode. Sherlock finally tells Tommy about the Odin case. Tommy blames himself for what went on since he was the one who got shot. Sherlock sees Marcus and Watson together. Morland is dead.


On the next Elementary, I can’t gather much from the promo. It seems that Sherlock wants to plan a murder of his own. A real one? I hope not. You’d think that they would solving Morland’s death for sure in it, even though it wouldn’t be too hard to figure out that Odin or one of his associates would be the one responsible. I guess we’ll have to wait until next week for the penultimate episode of this show to air. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

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.
