February 19th 2017’s Episode

Why does it seem like every week, there’s another notable death in the world? What’s up with that? I just don’t understand why this keeps happening. Sure, people die, but some notable person every week? And I thought that last year was bad. Why must famous people keep dying?

The first weekend between the last movie watching that I did was spent by me being on vacation to the baptism of my cousin once removed. It was nice seeing him for the first time. I didn’t have free time that first weekend, so let’s get to the next one. On Saturday, I watched Free Willy. I replaced it with Finding Dory. On Sunday, I watched the last of the Nature Documentaries. I replaced that with The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Thus, the items from the second dissolved Sunday list that wound up in the new Sunday list are all replaced, should the last item to be moved not wind up on this list (if that makes sense). Now the only choices on the list are stuff from when it was Friday’s list, from Sunday’s first dissolved list, and the replacement choices. (Had I told you about that?) There was no movie watching the next weekend as I was busy with my sister’s baby shower.

I have no idea at the moment when the next new episode will air. It might not be until March or it could be sooner. All of the special events that seem to be happening in February seems to preempt the usual programming. I remember in 2015 when most of the Sunday shows on CBS were on hiatus the whole month of February, which is odd since February is a sweeps month. I’m sure that there was a reason, however strange it might have been. What’s more telling is that they aired the rest of CSI early into that time of year instead of waiting for a better time and putting it with actual lead-ins.

Well, it actually a confusing night for both me and CBS. If this blog were linked up with my Madam Secretary blog, it would be messed up now as this show was new tonight at it wasn’t on. They aired The Good Fight for the only time on TV at seven while NCIS: Los Angeles had a weird airtime at 8 before they aired this show. FOX shows were normal.

They were airing a golf tournament that cut into what should have been the local news before primetime on CBS. They cut out the eastern time zone feed to start primetime on time on this coast. Only they weren’t finished with it so they moved the coverage to the golf channel. This is only the second time that I’ve seen them move the coverage of a sport event to a cable channel to do primetime. This is the first time that there wasn’t a delay of any kind. Now was that channel not airing anything at this time? It seems weird that they switched whatever they were airing to that event. Of course, it was weirder the last time that they switched that it took them 16 minutes before the switch to actually do it. I bet people without the cable channel or internet (where it was also airing live) were screaming curses at their TV for this Heidi moment.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a recap of what is happening with Shinwell and his daughter. I didn’t remember that he had one. Watson talks to him some. She wants to see him finally. We then get to a podcaster. He is playing a video game. But people who watch this notice a criminal coming after him. They don’t know where he is in New York or if he is dead.

The second act has the team looking at the potential case. I love how this is getting into the world of gaming that happens online. I wonder if they are talking about speedrunning or other types of playing. Watson talks about it and hears from Sherlock about the case. He was able to find the body due to the nearby billboard. He has what appears to be a buzz cut. When did that happen and why? I have no idea, from what I can remember. Shinwell talks to his daughter after her school gets out. She says that she’s in trouble, but we don’t find out how just yet. Sherlock talks to people relating to the murder. A person gives good information and tells them the real name of the victim. The team finds a weapon that possibly relates to the case.

The third act has Sherlock thinking that a person who was suspected of the crime was actually framed for it. Sherlock offers yet another one of his famous theories during this time, but I find it hard to understand right now. Why am I so easily confused? A woman comes in and she relates to animal rights people. Why are they always portrayed as weirdos? I’m not sure what seal hunting has to do with the case. They find out that the gamer supported seal hunting and that related to his murder. If that’s what an animal rights person would do, then they are more than just weird.

Shinwell talks to Watson about his daughter and the possible problem she’s in. It turns out that this person who wants her romantically, but she’s not interested. They do more with the case and the Asian guy from earlier is investigated as a possible suspect. Apparently he thinks that the escort people he works with aren’t good people. Are any of the good people? This is an actual link to human trafficking being investigated.

The fourth act has more information about the human trafficking crime. Shinwell then talks to this person that’s bugging his daughter and makes him an offer to leave her alone. Carla, whoever she is, is interrogated by Marcus and Tommy. She gives them information about what is going on. I’m losing track of a lot of what is going on this act. I just know that Sherlock thinks that global warming is responsible for the murder. Also, how can some thick headed people still not get it through their head that global warming is real? 97% of scientists say that it is? Is there not enough evidence? I should not ever have the windows in my car down in February, but I did on just Friday.

The fifth act takes us to a random traffic jam. Sherlock and Marcus go after the person who might end up being the final suspect of the night. Once again, I don’t fully understand what is going on. They find out that a firm hired the hit. They investigate Raina and learn from her that she is the person who was largely responsible for most of the mess regarding the main murder. Shinwell then talks to his daughter again and they part ways for now.

There are no scenes from next time, which is to be expected since they are airing The Oscars next week. There is an upcoming change in this blog. During Advent, you saw this posted on Sundays. That was because my Survivor blog was moved on Thursdays and this blog was moved there instead. Now it will be moving to Sundays again during Lent. I will alternate Sundays when I post this blog, meaning that it won’t be every Sunday that you see it updated here, but every other Sunday. This won’t last forever, though as I will be back on Thursdays.

On Maundy Thursday, which is on April 13th this year, you should start seeing these posts on Thursdays again. The main change that this will bring is the order of the episodes that I’m updating this in. I didn’t want to go out of order on any of my blogs again, but this might be the only way to keep up on this blog. First, you should see three older episodes from this season that I haven’t put on this blog yet. Then, I’ll go from the next episode that airs for as long as I’m posting on Sundays. I should be back to current episodes when I get back to Thursdays and should be posting the oldest unposted episode in the event that I’m not able to post the newest one.


When I get back to Thursday updates, this blog should be updated on every Thursday even if there wasn’t a new episode the previous Sunday. I do plan on posting the season finale last this season. I don’t know yet if this season will be the last one or if it will return for another one. Things are not looking good now for another season. But, it could come back with a surprise renewal ala The Mentalist. I don’t know what will happen with this show yet. We’ll see in the future. I’d like this show to continue, but it might not. Also, this blog is sort of linked up with my blog about Madam Secretary so when I post episodes about that, I’ll post episodes here that relate to that. I’m behind on updating that blog, which can be helpful for this blog and the at least three posts I’m behind on. I could get behind on more, although I hope that I don’t. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

January 29th 2017’s Episode

I believe that the AFC championship game will cause the preemption of this show. I write this in the past as we’ll know later when the episode aired, as evidenced by the title that it will have. I just hope that it ends on time and they don’t air a stupid post game show afterwards which would cut into what I want to watch after it. We’ll see if that happens or not.

I wonder if these games are done differently each year as I don’t remember this game airing in most of primetime since Scorpion was a new show. But they aired a 45 minute post game show starting at nine which was supposed to be when Scorpion started. If they delay the first ever episode of Hunted, then they are screwing themselves over a lot. Plus, why is its premiere not at its usual timeslot? I always get annoyed when shows do that. If you are going to air a new show for the first time, it should be when it will always air. This supposed great lead-in could wind up dooming that show I’m not sure would have lasted long anyways.

Let’s get to all the movie watching that I was doing since the last new episode aired. I watched the movie Fireproof and replace it on the list with Free Willy. I was also watching The Hobbit movie series and the next one to watch is the extended edition of The Battle of the Five Armies. I’ll be keeping the movie series on the list so I can watch it again with commentary. I wasn’t able to watch any movies from my lists the next weekend, but I did see 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Miguel Ferrer, an actor who was still working on NCIS: Los Angeles, died recently. The NCIS franchise hasn’t been doing well this season as both NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans had to get a new showrunner after the one they both had, Gary Glasberg, also died. I read that they were planning on writing out Miguel’s character on this show due to the actor’s health concerns. I don’t know yet if they will replace his character or not. I also don’t know if he will appear anymore as the last time his character showed up, he wound up shot and they could have already killed this character off long before his real death actually happened. I guess that we will see what happens later for sure.

The character he played, Owen Granger, was the assistant director on the show, but they went without one until he was introduced in the third season. I don’t know yet if they will find a new assistant director for the show or not. It would seem kind of rude to recast the part with a new character since he actually died. But they may have already planned that anyways. Meanwhile, they could use the character of Leon Vance, the main NCIS director, do double duty like they did before they introduced Owen onto the show. In fact, if you ask me, that might have been why they had an assistant director of NCIS on the first spin-off in the first place. I was wondering if we’d ever see an assistant director like Owen on the second spin-off or if they would upgrade him to director in case they wanted to get rid of the old director. On the main show, they briefly made use of a character named Jerome Craig to be acting director. If they could get the actor who played him back, Greg Germann, they could make use of the character again. He only appeared in season 10 of NCIS thus far.

What is probably the last episode of Conviction airs tonight so I will be able to live watch the future episodes of this until March when Shades of Blue starts again. There are a lot of great potential things airing at midseason on Sundays, yet weirdly scheduled after February sweeps. I guess that this is because of all the special programming scheduled that month like the Super Bowl, the Grammys, and the Oscars. I’m still wondering if there will be a post Oscar show. Jimmy Kimmel normally does that, but would he do double duty since he is already hosting the Oscars?

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin first with three different flashbacks of a man wanting Sherlock’s help with an assault case, but Sherlock is too busy each time. I remember the second one the most as it had the possible killer doll and aired at the same time as the first episode of the great show Allegiance. In the present, the man takes over a diner full of people with a gun and that is when Sherlock is finally forced to help him. Watson has to stay in the diner as another hostage. Sherlock then goes out to investigate the case, but he doesn’t have much time to do it. He has until midnight before his carriage turns back into a pumpkin.

The second act has Marcus and Sherlock investigating the case. Sherlock uncovers information being investigated that could help with the case. The hostage taker (is that the right term?) explains that he’s only really after one person at the diner who he feels is responsible for nothing happening with the case thus far.

The third act has Sherlock trying to go after bad people which leads him to literally put on a shirt that has looking for bad people on it. One finds him and this leads him and Marcus to visiting a gang where they learn information that helps them with the case. When they leave the place, they find a location that has a bunch of maple syrup but also has links to drugs, it seems.

Sherlock is able to make a breakthrough in the case, but it comes too late as it is past the deadline. Nothing really bad happens at the diner as Watson is able to defuse the situation and keep the hostage taker alive where he gets arrested. As for the criminal, they are able to use a law the effectively extends when the statute of limitations is up via the criminal’s international travel and arrest him.


There are no scenes from next time as next week they are airing the Super Bowl. I’ll be rooting for the Ravens for two reasons: 1- they have never won the Super Bowl before and more importantly, 2- they are not the Patriots. I guess that we’ll see eventually who wins or doesn’t win, but life doesn’t always go the way you want it to. At least there is nothing really significant about football affecting the world so I won’t get too upset over a Patriots victory. Heck, I never even hated the fact that the Cubs won the World Series and I’m a Cardinals fan. We’ll see what happens later and I’ll be back with the next episode sometime then. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

January 15th, 2017’s Episode

Due to the Golden Globes last week, I missed various episodes of shows that I normally watch. I recorded this show and Madam Secretary on my laptop, but I missed everything else. The shows that they aired that I normally watch are The Simpsons, Son of Zorn, Bob’s Burgers, 60 Minutes, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Conviction. I missed all of them this previous week.

I’m in what I call a good weekend, basically meaning that I’m able to watch a movie on both Saturday and Sunday. I’m not always able to do that. The new show, Ransom, which is airing on Saturdays for no good reason, could potentially mess things up for me, but it wasn’t on this week. They aired a stupid Patriots game instead. But I did watch Return of Jafar on Saturday and replaced it with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I’ll probably borrow the earlier movies sometime later this year. As for Sunday, I watched Run Fatboy Run with commentary and replaced it with Pleasantville.

Since I’m trying to get caught up with my Madam Secretary blog, if you ever see an older episode here instead of the most recent to air one, it is because I am catching up with where I was in that blog. The episode of this show that aired on 10-23-2016 is the oldest one that I’ll blog about. I have the post ready, but am planning on waiting until Lent to post it here.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a book of some sort that’s important somehow. Marcus is dating a woman who is in the process of getting divorced or is recently divorced. He gets into a fight with a person at a bar after accidently knocking his glass of alcohol to the ground. There are then random people in the woods going after a creepy clown. What’s with the creepy clown phases anyways? Has it gone away or have I just stopped hearing about it?

The second act has Sherlock being shown the dead body in the woods by the same actress that played Eric’s mother on That ‘70s Show. I wonder if she’ll be more important to the episode or not. The man that Marcus had a fight with was the ex-husband of the woman he’s now dating. The dead clown was part of something called prank-vertising, which I hope isn’t a real thing, but probably is. This creepy clown stuff is quite real. Sherlock has some sort of musical thing that plays circus music. I’m not sure how it relates to the case. Sherlock and Marcus learn that someone was poisoning a water supply area nearby that affects the whole city, it seems.

The third act doesn’t have much that I can catch. But it does have the idea of a superbug being introduced into New York City. It seems as if only a minor bug would have been introduced instead of a superbug. The guy who fought at the bar with Marcus may not have gone to the bar on a regular basis. That’s all I can catch of this act.

The fourth act has the problem identified that was prevented. Poisoning the water could have caused diarrhea in the area which would have affected people. Watson wants to install a new water filter into their house, but Sherlock is against that as he likes the water as is. He is able to use this information to go after a suspect who has a bunch of water in his garage, but this suspect is innocent as it isn’t the final act of the show yet. What shows catch the criminal before the final act?


The fifth act has Sherlock and his team catching the perp. I don’t fully understand who that person was. How did this all relate to a clown again? Sometimes shows can be confusing and not make sense. This is hardly the only show that had a beginning that didn’t relate in any way to the end of it. The Marcus thing seems wrapped up for the most part as he confront the guy at get him to not do whatever thing he was doing that related to the fight. There are no scenes from next time so I’ll be back whenever with the next episode. Until then, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

January 8th 2017’s Episode

Well, the new year has started and I’ve decided to tell you about movies that I watch and the process that I go through in order to watch them. There are six movies on each potential list and currently two lists, although there is likely to be more added in the future. What are the current lists before the new year starts? Well, I might as well tell you. But first, I might as well tell you all of the Christmas stuff that I watched last year that I normally don’t always watch from year to year. Last year, I watched Thomas’s Christmas Celebration, Thomas’s Snowy Surprise, a recording of a Cantata that my church did once, a recording of the movie Christmas Vacation, a recording of the movie Home Alone 3, and the first season Christmas episode of 8 Simple Rules entitled All I Want for Christmas.

Saturday’s list currently has the following movies: Baby Boom, Celtic Woman concerts, Fireproof, Hancock, Indiana Jones series, and The Return of Jafar. Sunday’s list currently has the following movies: Back to the Secret Garden, Front of the Class, The Hobbit series, Nature Documentaries, Run Fatboy Run, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I’ll plan on updating you on what I watch and replace on this list and if I add another new list, which seems very likely.

You might be wondering when I’m going to post the older episodes from this season that I have not yet blogged about. Well, this blog may get confusing around the time that Lent starts. I think that is when I will ultimately start posting older episodes that I haven’t posted yet. This will mean me not posting about what the current episodes are, but I should make them up later. My blogs can be confusing and if you don’t read my Madam Secretary blog, you should be glad as I haven’t even finished posting about last season on it yet.

Something that’s worth putting in this blog is that different family events, such as my sister having a baby really soon, meaning that any blog I do could be affected by anything family related. Hopefully I can continue doing these posts as planned every Thursday until Lent and then alternating Sundays until Lent is over and I post back on Thursdays again. March 5th is the first planned Sunday post when things go back there again. But I thought that I would let you know about these things.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a woman who appears to be kidnapped in a weird way. The man responsible is confronted by Sherlock when Sherlock steals his phone which leads to a fight between the two of them.

The second act has more information being learned about the case. I’m not entirely sure if I’m hearing it as well on my laptop as it seems that my TV tuner has constant audio problems. Sherlock learns that the woman has been missing for around five years. What’s sad is that, in reality, there are people who have probably been missing longer.

The third act is when a man is arrested for possibly being an accomplice to the case at hand. Watson tries to talk to Shinwell more about what she feels he should be doing. It doesn’t seem like much progress is being made regarding the missing person case.

The fourth act is when it appears that the suspect in question escapes. But was he ever in police custody? I don’t fully understand a lot of this episode. Shinwell may be playing both sides or he could really be an evil, bad guy. They are able to find the missing person, but she says that there isn’t an accomplice that was ever there. Was it just one person?

The fifth act has them catching the bad guy of this episode, who, in fact, is a woman. The divorced wife of the dead(?) person who was on the beach is the person who might have shared in his crazy desires. It looks like she will be going away for some time. I’m not sure what’s going on with Shinwell, but it appears that he was able to unlock locks and that’s good somehow.


On the next Elementary, a murdered clown is the subject of the story. It makes me wonder if we will see any tie-ins to all those clown sightings that have happened in places. Creepy clowns have even been spotted around where I live. I guess that we will be back soon with the next episode. I know that they typically air a football playoff championship game soon that ends at around 7 Central time, pushes back the regular programming by an hour, and would cut off this show as it is now airing at 9 Central. Maybe that will not interfere with the next episode. Regardless, I’ll be back then. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

December 18th 2016’s Episode

I should tell you what the rest of the Christmas watching I did was. Well, I’m not going to tell you all of what I watched, but I will tell you the ones that I normally watch year after year. I’m also hoping that I’ll get the Orla Fallon Christmas concert sometime as I would love to watch that again and again. Anyways, since the last post, I have watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Elf, A Charlie Brown Christmas, It’s Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown, Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too (from a Christmas tape that I like to watch), Frosty the Snowman, Earnest Saves Christmas (from later in the same tape), and The Polar Express. The only things I have left to watch besides this are The Wish that Changed Christmas (the last thing on the tape), It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, The Christmas Toy, and something else that I’m not mentioning here as it isn’t something I normally always watch.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 41 minute delay. We begin with a recap of the Shinwell trial. He helps with a table, but it was evidence in a case. Sherlock is convinced that Shinwell is still involved with the SPK gang. Marcus calls them to the morgue where they investigate a dead body that was supposedly written a script by Watson that caused his death.

The second act has Sherlock suggesting that identity theft happened. Things are looking bad for Watson at the moment. Sherlock discusses Shinwell with someone. Watson talks to a pharmacist about what happened. Sherlock wonders who might have killed the victim and he mentions that he didn’t want Shinwell to be a CI. He is very suspicious of Shinwell. They find a suspect in the Watson case. Only they find this person dead.

The third act is when Sherlock gives his idea of what happened to Tommy. They talk to a suspect or person of interest who has some sort of muscle problem. Marcus wonders if this person’s mother may have had any connection to the case or if she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and that’s why she ended up murdered. Suspicious things end up happening with Shinwell. Sherlock confronts him about some of what is going on, but I don’t think that things ended well there. There is another suspect that they talk to and it tells them who the real target was in the case.

The fourth act has this case being called insane by a person who is being investigated. He comes clean about an affair he was having. There is a will that could be the reason why the woman in question winded up dead. Sherlock mentions more of his research into the cold case he was researching. Someone was doctor shopping. Ethan wasn’t actually sick. Ethan, the kid with problems, might have been poisoned instead of what was thought to be his sickness and he might have helped kill his own mother. Somehow this information was known by people.

The fifth act is when Sherlock decides not to redestroy the chair in question. They discuss more how Ethan could have gotten someone to kill his mother. Watson talks about the case to Ethan. He more or less confesses to the crime in question. Sherlock then talks to Shinwell. It appears that Shinwell will be helping with the police after all. There are no scenes from next time and I won’t know when the show will be back with new episodes. I’m guessing that it will be sometime next year.


Well this blog’s updates will be going back to Thursdays after the episode airs. It will continue this way until Lent happens. I do have old episodes to post about eventually, although I’m planning on waiting until Lent to do that. We’ll see what ends up happening. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Sunday, December 11, 2016

December 11th 2016’s Episode

When it gets to December, there are certain Christmas movies and Christmas specials that I watch. I typically roll between certain options and I get through them all over time. Since the Christmas season started, I have watched Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (both versions, although I prefer only watching the movie version), The Muppets Christmas Carol, The Smurfs Christmas special, ‘Tis the Season to be Smurfy, The Tangerine Bear, Celtic Woman: Home for Christmas, and a Christmas home video that I like. That’s not all that I plan to watch, but I can mention more of them, that I haven’t actually gotten to watch yet.

Why is the 10/9 Central timeslot on CBS such a terrible one to be at? Well, I’m going to list a bunch of shows that aired then and you can tell me what link other than that timeslot that they have in common. Here are the shows: Without a Trace, The Unit, CSI: Miami, NYC: 22, The Mentalist, Unforgettable, Reckless, CSI, Battle Creek, CSI: Cyber, and Braindead. If you don’t know the link, well, you’ll find out later. I do have a blog about CSI: Cyber which is now, basically, just updating people on what the cast of the show is doing now.


This blog was planned on being updated on alternating Sundays with another blog. Well, I won’t have to update another blog on Sundays after all as there was no new episode of this show on December 4th and I didn’t have any of the old episodes of this show ready to be published yet. I have three old episodes to blog about at this point and could have more in the future. We’ll see what will happen with that.

I’m glad that I will be able to not only watch this live, but I will be able to blog about it later today instead of having to wait until next week Sunday. As soon as Thursdays are open again, this blog will be moved there again. If there is another new episode still this year, I’ll probably post about it live as well. I do have one, older episode to post about so you will probably see that soon.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with Sherlock coming up with yet another rude way of waking up Watson. You know, this could be part of a drinking game if you wanted to do something like that. They are taking to the case of someone that they both know. Also, who is the new cast member? Why don't I see this name that often?

The second act is when Sherlock and Watson learn more about the case. The person they are talking to thinks that the case is open and shut. While that might happen in real life, it never happens in television. They have to fill out a whole hour. Watson is convinced that the suspect is innocent. He left where he lived and forgot his phone. Sherlock talks to some of the people the suspect hanged out with. Watson finds a person that they are looking for. Names, Adam! What are their names? Sherlock and Watson both talk to the suspect in question. What is SPK anyways? I think that Shinwell is the name of the main person relevant to the case.

The third act is when Shinwell thinks that he was sold out by the cop. The victim is Ricky. They think that an ex-gang member might be the main suspect to look for. Shinwell and Sherlock go on a stakeout. They both look in a person’s house for evidence relating to the crime. Why does the woman that first appeared at the crime scene look so familiar? They talk to a therapist who might be the same actress who plays the cleaner person on The Blacklist. (Blacklist fans: you looking forward to the spin-off next year?) Someone became an informant in order to avoid a drug charge.

The fourth act has more with the case being looked into. I don’t fully understand what is going on and missed some of what happened. Shinwell talks some about what happened to some other person. Also, can TV and movies have some more non-black people in gangs? Surely white people can be gangsters, right? Not that I recommend that anyone become a gangster. Watson confronts the black cop from earlier with her theory as to what happened. While they are on the phone later, this agent, named Whitlock, kills himself. What?

The fifth act has Sherlock and Watson talking to Shinwell about what to do after Whitlock died. Shinwell wants to make the most of his time left before he goes back to jail. Sherlock talks to Marcus about the case in order to help more with it. Sherlock is about to clear Shinwell of any blame by giving him another second chance. A second second chance, according to Sherlock.


On the next Elementary, someone stole Watson’s identity. That’s pretty much the gist of what I got from the promo. I didn’t really know what else there is to say. Should I ever post a review of the BBC show Sherlock in this blog? I would review it on my TV blog, but I normally just stick to network TV as I can’t watch much else and I’m not sure what other BBC shows I could review with it besides Doctor Who. There have to be others I might have seen, right? Oh, well. It doesn’t matter much anyways. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

November 20th 2016’s Episode

I might have started this blog too soon. What do I mean by that? Well, I started it as a result of the time delay being a bit different on one affiliate than it was on the other. I found out later that this just might be a standard difference between the two affiliates. But, I have this blog now and can only hope that the real thing I was waiting for ends up happening at some point in time.

Since I started this blog since it airs after Madam Secretary, you might be wondering if I did that before with any other shows. Well, I have a blog about The Good Wife. Since the show is over, you might be wondering what the purpose of the blog is now. Basically, now I just use it to update the readers about what the cast of the show is doing now.


I do not know how this show would go over with the people I can only best call the Holmes purists. This show has done a lot of changes with the classic stories, notable ones being changing Watson to a woman and combining the characters of Irene Adler and Moriarty. I don’t know that much about classic Holmes, but I might have to change that.

I promise that when this show ends, I will start reading The Hound of the Baskervilles since I have the book and haven’t read it yet (among other books I have). This show may end this season, to be honest, and its timeslot is the worst in all of television. The ratings are doing bad so I don’t have high hopes for it. I would say that it would be bear chow, but TV grim reaper is the main person now who has all the rating info and guesses as to what shows will get cancelled which season. Once I finish reading the book, I will post a review of it in this blog.

Since there are no ABC shows for me to record tonight, I will probably be live watching this for a change and I’ll be able to schedule this post for Thursday. I hope that there’s not a new episode next week since I’d probably wind up missing it without watching it later online. At least I won’t have to worry about watching the episode on time, then I’ll know that I’ll have the blog ready on time. Last week, I wasn’t able to see the episode until the Thursday I posted it here.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 46 minute delay. We begin with Watson and her sister, I believe. She talks about possible gang related activity. We then get to people who are about to jump off a building. As one of them falls, he gets shot. Sherlock and Marcus (the black guy) are there at the crime scene investigating the murder. Sherlock notices that the parachute was doomed to fail. Why would two different people want to kill him? He was murdered twice, like the dead guy in Godsford Park, a movie with a similar premise that I do not recommend.

Act two has people talking about the murder to the wife of the victim. She gives details which imply that she was not responsible, although when is the first interrogated suspect ever the killer? A person doesn’t want to be found, but Sherlock thinks that he will be soon. They talk to suspect number two. He explains why he was hiding; he thought that the killer was coming after him too. Suspect number three, the woman suspect number two thinks would be after him, is talked to and she explains why she didn’t do it either. The killer had a regret and Sherlock seeks to find what it is. When he and Watson learn of a scam that the victim was in on, they look into who else knew about it.

Act three is when they talk to someone about the missing money scam or whatever. Will this ruffle feathers or rustle feathers? Watson talks to someone about the case, I think, but he claims that, as usual, the victim had something to hide. I’ve already lost track on what number suspect we are on. Sorry about that. The victim had a loan that he gave to someone or the other way around. I’m losing track of the show, but recording this has its own problems as well.

Sherlock finds a cargo hold and learns that they were smuggling illegal immigrants. Someone tell Trump that this (well, maybe not this illegal method) is how 48% of illegals get into this country. Normally, they just overstay visas. They come to visit and never leave. Anyways, an important picture is revealed. Also, when you watch shows, is there an annoying person who talks during it? The person isn’t watching the show, but is trying to talk to you or just to themselves.

Act four has yet another suspect in the case being investigated. The mysterious black guy is brought up again. I forget who he is and don’t think that I saw his introduction to the show. Sherlock plays chess with this guy for some odd reason. There are even more suspects that are brought up on the show. Have we gotten to the double digits yet? A foreigner is the person they are talking to. I do wonder if they could do two separate arrests since the person was murdered twice after all.

I can’t even keep track of all these suspects so I might have to just go back to whoever is charged with the crime. They do find a person who confesses, but he’s not actually the person who did anything wrong. That person is the father of the wife of the victim. The wife then says that he was cheating on her and she tearfully confesses to the sabotaged chute. Sherlock then uses this to go after the possible sniper before he strikes again. How does he do that?

Act five has the foreign people interrogated again. It might have been an honor killing that happened, although I don’t fully understand what that is. It appears that the sniper would go after the mistress as well in addition to the man who cheated. They are able to catch this man, the child of the foreigners. Watson then goes back to talk to someone from earlier that I don’t fully understand. He seems kind of intimidating in a way. I can’t tell if he means to do this or not.


On the next Elementary, a food case is brought up. Someone might have died from food. That person may have also been turned into food. And you thought that horse meat was bad. I don’t think that I’m going to like the next episode. I just hope that I can see it in good time, although I won’t have to by Thursday. Keep in mind that I will be moving this blog to alternating Sundays in the future, although I will putting this back to Thursdays by year’s end. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
