A Kiss and a Twist: Blindspot: "Evil Handmade Instrument" Fall Finale


The fall finale of Blindspot has left us with a twisted cliffhanger that gives us an answer and leaves us with more questions.

After the death of David, Patterson tries to get back to work finding his killer. They've found that the book that David had left a fingerprint, which lead them to a suspect that's tied to being a Russian spy.

By the time they get to the suspect's home, Kurt and team spread around the house. He sees that a woman is tied to a chair and he busted in and wounds the suspect but that didn't stop him from injecting a substance and die.

The team finds out that there have been a Russian operation that involves their spies to marry their targets. They spot a female friend in a photo with the suspect and victim, they try to find her but comes across another spy that Kurt and Jane track and captured.

With heavy questioning, she wasn't going to confess but that lead to Patterson turning it up and making her think that they had her fingerprint, but really they didn't. The second suspect opened up and told them everything, but that was after she and Jane talked about how scared she was feeling for her kids.

Kurt and team search for her husband, but by the time they get there he was dead on scene. So that lead them to search for the only suspect out there, the one that killed David. Patterson picked up an ID at a convention.

Kurt and Jane chase her until Jane and her had a really heavy battle. That battle only lasted til Kurt got there and stabbed her with the needle with poison and pushed her off the boat, killing her.

Patterson finally got closer that she wanted  and thanked Jane for, well, killing David's killer. As for Jane, who has been trying to figure things out in the beginning of the episode, she sneaks out of her home and waits for Kurt. She wanted to tell him something with a kiss. I think that broke the ice on their relationship.

But Jane heads back to her home, but she gets taken by the CIA and has a chat with Carter. Carter trying to put an end to his and tries to get Jane to spell what she knows by waterboarding her. That scene took a lot of guts to do. Made me just clinch and looked away during that scene.

But as she asked him a question, he was about to drill her with a drill, but that was stop when gun shots were hired. Carter walks towards to noise, but soon gets shot and killed from the mysterious man, who we've seen Jane with in her past. He comes towards Jane and shows her a video of Jane telling her that everything is going to according to plan that she, Jane, has instructed

My thought is WHAT THE HELL? Jane set this whole thing from finding Kurt and the tattoos and more. How? Why? WOW!!!

With such a twist, more will probably be revealed when the shows returns in February.

This was such a good episode. Ashley Johnson throughout this episode and last episode has really done a well performed and Alexander too. The writing was strong with such a twisted final moment. Plus seeing Zapata about to turn in her resignation, but I think she'll pull that out due to Carter not being a problem for her.

Overall,  I give this episode a 9/10.

Blindspot returns in February.

Michael: 24 Forever

"Don't run, Stay with me": Doctor Who "Face the Raven"



We knew that this was coming for a while, but the question was how, and in last night's episode, "Face the Raven," we got to see Clara Oswald one previous time.

When Rigsy calls Clara on the TARDIS phone asking for help on a mysterious tattoo, The Doctor and Clara discover that it's a countdown to his death.

We all know that Clara has been enjoying much time with the Doctor and traveling from place to place. That includes dealing with risky situations and watching her look for trouble streets hanging out of the TARDIS; you know she's gone too far. They bump into Me there, too, as the Mayor of the streets.

So when they find Troubledle Street, they learn his tattoo is a countdown to his death because he was near a  victim who seemed dead but wasn't. So, for his punishment, when the clock is gone, a raven will come and kill him. Somehow, this makes Edgar Allen Poe go, Why didn't I think of that?"

But Clara didn't let that happen to him and found out they could be switched, but can't she or a second time. So,? Ara was stuck with it, with no solution.

And the Do,c tor upset as he can be demanded Me to undo it, but she couldn't do it. It left the Doctor threatening her by bringing everyone from friends to enemies down and bringing hell to the area. But Clara stopped him and gave one of the best heartwarming goodbye speeches ever.

She tells him not to take revenge for her behavior. Don't be a warrior; be the Doctor. I couldn't help but tear up from that scene and the rest until she died. I think we all felt what the Doctor was feeling about it.

I understand and transfer the Doctor to where we'll know about the next episode as part two of this story continues.

I thought that the story was well told and that the send-off of Clara was emotional at its best. I thought saying goodbye to Amy Pond was hard, but this one takes a massive chunk of my heart. Clara Oswald is my favorite companion of the Doctor. She's got heart, a risk taker, and doesn't back down.

But even if this is a two-part episode, will she come back? Well, I guess we'll find out.


Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights at 9/8c on BBC America.

Highway Rush: The Blacklist "Kings of the Highway"


It's the fall finale of The Blacklist and the one thing that we can expect is the unexpected and this had some really good ones.

As Liz and Red make a stop at the gas station to get some gas and freshen up. Liz comes out and finds that Red and the car is gone. We all know that Reddington wouldn't leave her, turns out he was kidnapped by the Kings of the Highway, a gang that kidnaps, steals and kills.

Watching Red getting cuff was entertaining at times, but heart-pounding too. How often do you see someone give it to Reddington either punching him or hitting him? Counting back it would have to be only less than 6 I think.

Liz, trying to search for Red, gets Samar to help after a night she and Ressler had and used his computer to help locate Red's location. That turned south when the phone was found in the car with blood in the backseat. But a junkyard worker told Liz that a guy picked it up and told her where he might be.

She gets the guy's attention and had a couple of moments from playing pool to kissing in his apartment until the leader of the Kings called and told him that he's got Reddington. And wonders if Liz is around and finds out that she's in his apartment. The two fight for a good minute and Liz shoots him.

She makes a call to exchange him for Reddington but the leader won't deal, until a member speaks up and kills him and arranges the deal. As Dembe gets the package, Liz picks him up and exchange it, but Red wasn't there.

He was released but by the time everything went down, cops and Ressler comes and Liz runs as Ressler was chasing her. She ran pretty far but wasn't as fast as Ressler got her and arrested her.

But that was like the third shocking moment in the episode. The others happen to be, Samar being fired, the deputy Attorney General getting killed by the Chairman, so she's working with Solomon, The Director and Cabul.

Also I can't forget the scenes with Cooper and Tom trying to escape from Solomon's men. That car chase scene was awesome and Tom, of course, having to take the tracking chip off of Kurkart chest.

This episode was a great fall finale, there was so much suspense that at times my heart was pounding.

Now that Lix is captured by Ressler, I think that things are going to be super high for her life. The tipping point is at full capacity. The one thin I do like from the promo for the next episode is that Liz is in the same box that Red was in in the beginning of the series. Gotta love that!!!

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch The Blacklist when it returns in the new year Thursday, Jan. 7th at 9/8c on NBC.

Father and Daughter: Chicago PD "Never Forget I Love You"



This was all Lindsay and Voight episode all over and it didn't disappoint at all in this fall finale.

Erin and Voight get a call of a head floating in the Chicago river. They search and find the rest of the body, not a bad way to spent a little father-daughter time right? During the search, they talk about the past stuff that they've gone through.

They identified the victim and soon find where she was working, at a strip joint. They only get one word out of the employees and soon find some illegal cards in her locker.

But it was when Voight goes far and beyond to talk to a mob boss that he knows personally and asked him for help to shed some light in this case. Well, the guy's business partner helps and gives a name, they search the suspect's place. And it turned out to be one of the funniest scenes after Halstead and Ruzek chased him that both the suspect and Ruzek goes falls to the ground.

Not long that the suspect's lawyer comes in and tells Voight and Halstead that his client will give his confession. Erin wasn't buying it at all and as this case goes on, questions Voight's mind. Well,  he is meeting with mobsters and trying to solve the case without giving them issues. Who could blame her?

But it turned out that the suspect turned out to be the lawyer, who had a lot of meeting with the victim and taking a lot of money from his mob boss. But as Erin and Halstead interviewed him, Voight comes in and tells them that he has two choices: one confess and go to protective custody or two walk out that door. He walked out that door and as Erin tells him that she'll get him, he gets a ride from his boss, so you kind of know what that means.

Later as Erin is having a drink at Molly's, Voight comes in and tells her that she might not like what he does but he does give the benefit of the doubt. He also explained to her why someone went to Joliet prison because he gave him a choice and he took it. And the guy at the time was bad too and Erin didn't know it. Voight still loves Erin and still treats her like his own daughter.

I found this episode really good and of course the cliffhanger at the end when Roman and Burgess has been dealing with an ex-husband beating his wife after the death of their son, that Roman has been helping with. Roman chases him and shoots him, but he turns out dead and had no gun. Burgess calls Voight and tells him there's a situation. And that's where we are left with until January.

It was good and it should a lot more growth and understanding of what Erin and Voight stand. And the cliffhanger might not stand out as the last previous episode that night on SVU.
 
Overall,  I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Chicago PD back in the new year Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

A Hack of Revenge: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Ghost in the Machine"



When it comes to a death of an undercover cop, it hits home to another one which is also gets a target on his back. But this criminal isn't who it turns out to be.

When an undercover cop is found dead in a car that he apparently drove. Laura and the team find out who it is. But as they get closer to a suspect, the department gets hack and they had to go old school to solve the case without any computers.

The case gets a bit personal to Billy, who's worked in the department of the victim, but also gets a visit from an old friend when a hit is on him as well. It turns out that undercover cops are getting shot from a hacker, but the question is left who.

Laura goes back and talks to the victim's mother and sister and comes to a clue from a cyber bully who told the victim's sister that she was not a good singer on youtube. But it didn't stop there, which went on to emailing and more. But her brother stopped it but he ended up dead.

They figured out that the suspect went to school, who witnesses said that he was young and weird. Laura and Jake go to a class about Mars. Laura gets him as she drinks his disgusting pumpkin spice drink.

IT turned out the suspect is a college student who was seeking revenge for what he believes that he didn't do nothing wrong to the victim's sister. That it was free speech, but he'll be speaking free when he goes to jail.

I liked this episode. I could have never guessed it was a college student, was thinking of a higher person probably from the inter department. I do like how Billy and Meredith's emails got into the boss' office printer. Also Jake almost got fired of an email from his doctor about his health, which is good.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch The Mysteries of Laura Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC

A Medical Plan that Clicks: Chicago Med "Derailed" Season Premiere"


The latest installment in the Chicago Trilogy, Chicago Med, is a medical service that clicks into action.

This group of doctors, nurses, and administrators of the Chicago Medical Center tackle the city's everyday chaos. From a kid with a severe lung condition to a patient in an L train derailment, these doctors and nurses are in full force for any task.

Even Colin Donnell's character, Dr. Conner Rhodes, comes in on his first day when the train he's taken gets derailed. Treating a patient who was about to propose to their girlfriend helps get a pair of lungs to a kid who needs them to live. He may not be Mr. Warmth, but he gets it done.

Will Halstead and Natalie Manning are probably my favorite characters in the show. One, of course, is a hard-headed doctor who knows what's best for the patients, including the pregnant woman who thought she was brain dead, turned out to have swelling and needed surgery, but was stopped short due to the baby's parents.

Manning is the lead pediatrician who is pregnant. She lost her husband while serving and is still dealing with the loss. But she has April and Maggie, both nurses, for help. She not only takes care of a child from the accident who suffered a heart condition but helps Halstead treat his patient and face the baby's parents as well.

The connection between Halstead and Natalie could turn into a new couple down the road.

Another character is Dr. Charles, who is still a mysterious character in my book but attractive at the same time. We see him caring for a sick kid whose lugs are weak, and Charles is the only one who seems to be the kid's guard.

The show gives a great story with such interesting characters that are a bit different from Fire and PD. If I had to choose which new medical performance is better this fall, it would be Med over Code Black.

I love the series, and it's been since (House) 2009 that I've seen an excellent medical drama. It's brilliant, unique, and, most of all, it's a medical show that you can believe in.

And I can't leave out that they mention another hospital in the County. I wonder if that's Cook County General, better known as the hospital from ER. I got goosebumps just thinking if Dr. Carter is still in Chicago.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

Fire Attraction: Chicago Fire "2212"



This is going to be a short recap.

Kelly and Patterson rivalry heats up even further. When came to an accident between a car and a motorcycles, Patterson's order was to guard the car and driver from the biker gang til the cops get there. Severide seen the guy and thinks that he needs to get out and go to Med.

Patterson didn't care for his idea but Severide did it anyway and it blows up, in my mind pretty big. Patterson goes to Bowden and ask for Severide to transfer but Bowden wouldn't accept it, but only for a suspension.

Speaking of Bowden, he gets a new neighbor and it turns out that she has the hots for him. She makes a call asking him to come and help unlock her door because she thinks that she has the stove on with water boiling. That turned out to be not true and soon she offered him a drink. He left but it turned into a Fatal Attraction when a cop comes to his house and ask about her and the bruises on her face.

Something is not right and it looks like someone higher up is setting him up. But if we know Bowden that he would get through this. I think that we all know that Riddle is the one behind this mess  and so is along for Severide too.

I will say that the best part of the episode was when Rush became part of the episode. Mouch gets tickets to concerts and has to pick two more to go. But after going backstage and getting a photo, the rest of the guy left because the seats were mistakenly given and Mouch got front row seats. Poor guys.

This episode was very good. I enjoyed the Rush storyline but when it comes to Bowden and his assault questions to the neighbor, my heart just dropped. Freaking out was more like it. And I can't get enough of Jimmy and Chili or #Chirelli on Twitter.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Family Secrets: Supergirl "Livewire"


It's the Thanksgiving holiday, and nothing says the holiday like a family fight with a little bit of electricity.

I can start by saying that this is one of the episodes I was hoping for after hearing about the series. I'll spell out my guts on that a bit later.

As Kara battles a loose alien at the DEO, Alex is waiting for her to get back before their mother gets there for the Thanksgiving holiday. Of course, there always has to be drama in the family, and this one was no excuse not to use. Alex's mother thinks highly of Kara and is harder on her.

We get to see some flashbacks of the Danvers. Kara takes Alex flying, and when they get back, things don't go well for them. Their father, Jeremiah, offers his services to the DEO, and we learn later that he died while helping them.

It was a good backstory to watch b, but the real entertainment was watching Leslie Willis becoming Livewire. It's almost the same story that we've heard before, but it's incredible to watch it in real-time. Willis is a Howard Stern-type type disc-jockey who hates Supergirl for the way that she is and the way that she looks. Cat, her boss, didn't like it and warned her about it but transferred her to traffic coverage that evening while a storm was coming.

While on the chopper, lightning strikes, and they go around. Supergirl rescues the pilot and then tries to save Willis, but lightning strikes Supergirl and transfers to Leslie, making her what she is: Livewire. And boy, did she go after Cat for all the crap that she put her through.

I have to say that her entrance with Cat and Kara was the best way to introduce yourself. Just watching Supergirl and Livewire fight was pretty impressive, and it got Cat to open up a bit to Kara as she learned a little about Kara.

With the help of the DEO and Alex, Supergirl, and Cat, they teamed up to take down Livewire. It didn't go to plan, but of course, the water pipes were the best way to go.

Near the end, Alex and Eliza have made up, and both are on good terms until she tells both Alex and Kara that their father didn't die in a plane crash and that he worked for the DEO and worked for the man Hank Henshaw. Boy, that puts a chill down your spine.

I enjoyed this episode so much. Brit Morgan as Livewire was perfect. Livewire is one of my favorite supervillains in the Superman/Supergirl/Batgirl universe, or is it just the DC Universe? I thought that some exciting moments with Cat and Kara impressed me. And I would like to know what Henshaw did to Jeremiah. He killed Superman.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10

You can catch Supergirl on Monday nights at 8/7c on CBS.

Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Smiths: Blindspot "Authentic Flirt"



When a billionaire hacker has a list, it's up to the FBI to get it before it falls into the wrong hands.

As things heat up, Zapata been told to place a micro chip in Jane's place so the CIA can keep an eye on her. But in the meantime, Patterson finds an another clue that's in a form of a puzzle. It leads to a place where Kurt, Jane and the team to a place where two assassins were happen to look for something there.

That's where fire blew and shots were fired. The two assassins were killed and Kurt found what they were looking for that would lead to a secret auction party from a billionaire hacker. To get in Kurt and Jane have to play a married assassin couple, which in my opinion would fit just fine in their resumes.

When the only seen half of the file, they looked for the other buyer. After talking to him and kicking his ass, the billionaire comes kills the other buyer who he thinks turns out to be a Federal Agent. He offers them a drink and asked Kurt about the last job that they've done and asked who and how Jane killed the victim.

Soon, Kurt and Jane take action and forces the billionaire to get the chopper ready but a few of his men stood in the way. After taking them done and some help from backup, they took him away.

While that was going on Mayfair was being pressured to get rid of Guerrero. Mayfair offered him to be moved and while he was being moved, an attack took place where he got stabbed multiple times. He had information and was taken away. I will say I was a bit stun that he only had a couple of episodes in. I would think that Philips would have more than two.

And the other things, Patterson's boyfriend spies on a lady that's been leaving messages in the same book at the library. He follows her from the park to near the ally where he gets his throat cut and dies. The look on Patterson's face was nothing good and even though the signs were there that he might be killed, it was dumb fault for what he did.

Also, just as Jane puts on the ring that Kurt hands her, we see a flashback of her and another guy. Could she have been married or engaged while she was gone and who was that guy? He looked like the actor from Young and the Restless.

This was a very good episode. It had that Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibe to it and the action scenes with them and the other assassin buyer was tops. Also We get to see and meet Kurt's ex-girlfriend and boy did Jane show some jealousy towards them. I don't think this meeting will be over.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch the Fall Finale of Blindspot this Monday at 10/9c on NBC.

A Tale in Space: Doctor Who "Sleep No More"




"Sleep No More" was a very different but exciting episode. It started with a video message that looked to be a distress call and explained what had happened, along with meeting the rescuers who were to attempt to rescue whoever was in that empty ship.

Then the rescuers bumped into the Doctor and Clara, and they searched for what the hell was in that ship. Hell, it looked like a family of sand monsters with no faces. But one by one, the team lost each other, and it came down to three. Of course, the scientist, at the beginning, turns out to be the guy who has caused all this to happen.

With the Doctor, Clara, and the other soldier escaping in the TARDIS, the scientist made one last remark before sending it to everyone. But as he was nearly done, he scratched his eye, and it turned into dust, and soon his head was coming apart.

To answer the scientist's question, yes, I did enjoy the show, and no, I don't think my family would enjoy it unless it's my brother and me. I'll say that this was a very different episode. It was like Ghost Hunters meets Tales of the Creep. I loved how the camera was part of the character's viewpoint at times.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturdays at 9/8c on BBC America.

Blasting Through the Tunnel: Weekend Catch Up


iZombie "Max Wager"

When a victim dies due to high-end gambling, it's up to Liv to find out who gave him the cut.

Liv and Clive investigate a murder; they find that the victim is in deep debt. Hell, the guy was friends with a famous college and pro basketball player, played by Rick Fox. When Live dives into the victim's mind, she gets that same itch to bet, along with meeting a couple of folks and winning some cash.

It turns out that with the help from the victim's college buddy's tip to Liv about betting on Arizona the NCAA Basketball, that put the screws in for him to confess and gave two other people, one a former ball player.

Meanwhile, Liv and Major get deep into sex playing, from live face chatting to getting close to having sex, but nothing happens. Ravi couldn't develop a cure for them, but I think they're pretty well off doing play for now.

Blaine gets a visit from his old man and takes his business for only a short time until Major kidnaps him and puts him in the freezer.

For now, the Liv and Major relationship is back on, and I can deal with it. I'm pulling for them, but it gets a bit tiresome watching them going back and forth from the past season and now. I did enjoy the episode to full benefit, and I thought that Clive's relationship with the FBI agent was awkwardly excellent when they and Liv and Major bump into each other.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch iZombie on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on The CW.


Donny! "pilot"

Everyone should know who Donny Deutsch is: a well-known guy in the ad business who gives tips and advice on what not to do or to do in bad situations. Hell, I remember him when he was on the Today Show, and now he has a sitcom, and it's kind of what I have pictured him to be.

In Donny!, Deutsch plays himself as a Dr. Phil-like talk show host, but what he perches on the show, she doesn't do outside of the show—doing sexting and trying to come up with a fresh idea for the show. It's like one of those "oh my god!" moments that you can't believe that he's doing or even saying it.

Somehow, Deutsch reminds me of Paul Reiser from Mad About You. It's how Deutsch sounds and explains things; my head is wrapped around that. I enjoy the cast, from Donny's Angels to his children dealing with this.

Overall, I give the episode a 7/10.

You can catch Donny! Tuesday nights at 10:30/9:30c on USA Network

Arrow "Lost Souls" 

When it's time to rescue a friend, it's probably not the best time for a motherly visit to come suddenly.

As Felicity is searching for Ray, she gets a video message from him of his whereabouts and that he is, in fact, alive and very, very small. Of course, Ray Palmer is the Atom trapped in a giant glass held by Darhk.

But when Oliver buts into Felicity's family, inviting her mother to come isn't the most excellent idea in the world to do. But it makes some hilarious scenes of them talking about it. One of the scenes comes as they're about to go into a warehouse and steal a gadget to help Ray.

The Arrow and Darhk meet again, and this time, Arrow seems to have the upper hand even in pulling a fast one. But it appears that what Felicity and the team left behind is something to their use.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10. It was good, with some scenes and some lagging a bit.

You can catch Arrow on Wednesday nights at 8/7c on The CW.

Chicago PD "Forget My Name" 

Talk about mixing secret government high-tech and homicide, and you might have one hell of a thrill in this episode of Chicago PD.

When Intel informs Halstead and Dawson of these missing secret chips, the team follows the lead and sees the exchange and a murdered body.

I mean, this is real Blocklist meets Person of Interest stuff that it's unlike any other. I was amazed at how this episode went and how far it went. Besides the case they were working on, Halstead and Lindsay had some perfect moments, one being in the van as they watched the lead suspect at her home and the other when the lawyer for the government company gave Halstead her number after the two went a couple of rounds. He tears that paper up and tells Erin he has no clue what that is.

All I had to say was, kick her ass, Erin!!!

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Chicago PD on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.


The Blacklist "Zal Bin Hasaan" 

This was one of the best stories of a supportive character in this series. We finally get a backstory on Samar and her family.

In this episode, we get to see Samar gardening with her brother. When a man comes into their home and kills their parents, she promises to be with him forever. We learn that she lost her brother in a bombing in 2009, but he is alive.

Not only did she find him, but he was in a warehouse where six/five people were held hostage. That's where she finds him. She talks to him about what happened and asks for Zal Bin Hasaan, who's been the blacklister who's been doing this whole hostage thing.

It turns out that Hasaan is Samar's brother, and after trying to take him down, Red comes to the rescue and takes him away from her as he needs him to get a meeting in progress to help Liz.

But if you thought that was it, think again. Ressler has been on The Director's tail since last week and has taken Solomon for an interview. Of course, the Director interferes and takes care of it. But after informing of what he has been doing,  The Director has been fired from teaming up with the FBI.

Also, Tom and Cooper had one hell of a storyline in this episode. Try keeping a man hiding from Cooper's wife. I'm enjoying Tom as a hitman for once. I can't stop laughing at anything he does to someone.

With what went down with Ressler and Samar, they talked about it and ended up together in one of their apartments. Yeah, I know. I didn't see that coming, too. That was an OMG moment.

But I think that big ones will be coming in the Fall Finale. Jon Bokencamp and Dave Metzer said it will be "unexpected" and brimley."

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch the Fall Finale of The Blacklist this Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.

The Flames of Politics: Chicago Fire "Regarding This Wedding"


After last week's emotional episode, we're back to normal where Dawson is back at 51, but politics are getting in the way.

Dawson opens up to Chaplin about what she went through and how she feels about it. Again, Monica gives an excellent performance in that scene. But she's back to work and back at 51. But there's one issue in the way, or should I say person: Chief Riddle.

Riddle appears at  51, complaining to Bowden about how House 51 is running like a public servant to people and pushing Bowden's buttons with the gossip that "he's not listening" but brings it up.

Riddle meets with Dawson to discuss her review as she's fit to come back. He pushes her to the limit about the baby and Casey and advises them to take time off, which upsets Dawson. Riddle is coming after 51, and he's making a mark on it.

He also gets into Severide's case when he's up to get his job back after answering a question wrong about letting the public into the firehouse with a wedding. Turns out Severide answered wrong and didn't get his job back.

And as soon as Riddle leaves with Patterson, he tells him a job might open up. After what's been going on, I've been thinking that Patterson has been a pet set to push Bowden and Severide away, but then during the wedding, he's helping by playing music. Patterson is a flip-flop of a character that I can't tell if he's good or bad, but one thing is for sure: Severide isn't going away.

Meanwhile, the House plans a wedding for a couple who lost their ceremony in a fire. The husband was admitted to Chicago Med and treated by Halstead. After a few complications, the wedding was set, and the couple got married.

Also, Chili and Jimmy have made a connection. After Chili states that she doesn't want to get married, she tells her story about her folks. Jimmy feels sorry for her but continues to talk about the subject of marriage. Soon, at the night's end, they leave Molly's, and Chili kisses Jimmy after a day he has had.

The rivalry between Severide and Patterson is getting heated up. And in next week's episode, the heat will rise, and the flames will be scorching.

I enjoyed this episode. I enjoyed Rayund's performance in the first scene of the episode. It reminds me of how she opened up about the loss of Shay (sorry to bring that back up). Also, I see the tension between Severide and Patterson a lot. I feel that sooner or later, the two will punch it out. And what can I say about Britt's performance? I turn my chair if she wants on The Voice. I didn't know that Killmer could sing.

Overall, I give this episode 8.5/10,

You can catch Chicago Fire on Tuesday nights at 10/9c; plus, you can see the premiere of Chicago Med next Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.

Confidants: Supergirl "Fight or Flight"




As Supergirl is still getting the hang of being a superhero, as questions are being ask if she needs her big cousin Superman for help when she can't handle it.

After giving an interview to Cat, Kara gives her some information that was accidentally said: that she's Superman's cousin. When word gets out, it triggers one of Superman's enemies, Reactron.

Reactron seeks revenge after losing not just himself but his wife as well in a nuclear accident. The battle between them didn't do well in the first two, as they both equally match. But it was during the second battle that Kara had to be rescued by her cousin thanks to Olsen.

Upset that Olsen doesn't think she can do it, Kara makes a case to him and everyone that Supergirl doesn't need her big cousin for help. That came during Cat's party of the showing of her magazine cover of Supergirl. Reactron comes back looking for Supergirl.

Not only did Supergirl came, but got a little bit of help from Olsen as he was bait of getting Reactron out of the building. Kara gets word from the DOE of how to defeat him and uses lead to stop the reactor in the guy's chest suit.

Kara isn't the only one who's learning how to fight crime, that includes Olsen as well. Olsen got scared of the dangers that Kara could be in and mentions that he has called Superman way too many times in the past with his watch that he gave Olsen.

But I think that Kara has overcome the odds to what Olsen and even Cat had in her article.

I really enjoyed this episode a lot. There is so much growth going on so far after the pilot that I'm amazed how its coming along. Kara is falling in love with Olsen but as soon as she tries to ask him out, his ex comes back, Lois Lane's sister, how awkward?!

The one moment that I really like was when Kara gets a message from Clark congratulating her on beating Reactron and also that saving her was not going to happen again. Along that she's grown so much from how he first started out. That's got to be real comfort. That kind of set a tone to her and build confident.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

You can catch Supergirl Monday nights at 8/7c on CBS.

Friends in Low Places: Blindspot "Persecute Envoys"




When two cops are murdered with a message, it seems that Jane has a tattoo about this event occurring.Can Jane and the team stop the killer and can Kurt trust Mayfair after she tells him about project Daylight?

A tattoo of a knife and the number 65 got the attention after two NYPD officers were gun down with a message saying "butchers are butchered." Getting a little freaky, they FBI team takes over the investigation from the NYPD.

As Kurt and the team talk to one of the victim's partners and talked about the cameras that they're wearing. When the look back at the video tapes from the victim's camera, they see pro football player Ricky Holt pushing at him with threats.

Kurt and Kapata try to talk with Holt but when Kurt showed his badge Holt ran and ran he went. Both Kurt, Reade and Zapata couldn't get him until Jane comes with a nice tackle. Jane seems to know how to take down a guy even if she did trip him.

Holt told them that he was threaten by what the cops had on him and asked for over $50,000 in return. All because of photos of him with a guy.

Soon word got out that the victim's partner was killed with the same message as her partner had. So what they were thinking was that its coming fro inside the NYPD. And it did with two cops making a run to clean up shop. They make to one of the victim's house to try to talk but when Kurt called they raced to get there.

There was war when Kurt and Jane got there. Jane takes the victim's member with her outside til Kurt gets sonic blasted. Jane gets one while Kurt shoots the other one dead.

Mayfair tells the Captain about what just happen, he freaks out and needs to see the wounded suspect. She takes him to her when on the ride there, Mayfair figured out that the Captain was in on it too but as she tries to get her gun, he pulls one on her.

But she pulled a fast one by crashing her car and injuring the captain.

After the arguing since last week's episode and today's Kurt and Mayfair might have settled down the hack just a bit. We also got to learn a much need backstory of Mayfair as she and two other deputy officers as they were assign Project Daylight. Mayfair had a relationship with one of the deputies but when things weren't looking good she wanted to leave but Mayfair didn't.

But we found out that Mayfair's girlfriend committed suicide because of the stress of what the project had become.

Jane tries in the episode to get close to Kurt by having him open up but he tries to by making a joke of his lost hearing. Also, Jane and Zapata have made quite a bond. After their night out, Zapata gets stop by the CIA deputy and demands her to get information on Jane as the return favor from borrowing money to pay her debut. Zapata is in big trouble.

Overall, I enjoyed this episode. Enjoyed watching the backstory of Mayfair with project daylight that took away her relationship. I kind of understand why she does what she does. I think it's going to take a while for Kurt to trust Mayfair.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

We're just one episode away til the Fall Finale. Things look like are going to pick up quick and twist are coming.

You can catch Blindspot Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Spectre review



Bond is back. James Bond reporting for duty and this time we get to dive a bit more into his past as he works undercover from MI6.

In the aftermath of the death of former M, Bond is on a mission that not even the new M and the team don't know about, that she had asked him in a video to hunt and kill a man that's link to a dangerous organization. With Bond blowing the crap up in Mexico, it doesn't give the MI6 a good look as a new enforcer comes in to take over their place.

As Bond hunts someone of his past, but the name at first might not be familiar to everyone but when he gives his new name, you will differently remember him. And when him and Bond meet, Bond finds out that he was the one who sent out the villains from Casino Royal, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall and deaths just to make Bond feel more pain.

There's a lot of action and great dialogue in the film. I was amazed of the car chase scene. Just watching Bond drive just makes you think that you are him driving that beast of a car. Along with the cars, the fight with M. Hinx was amazing and made me think of the characters Jaws and Oddjob.

The Daniels gives a great performance along with Waltz as the villain. Plus Ben Whishaw as Q, he got a lot of story time in this film. It's probably the first time that I've seen Q in a lot of scenes since Licences to Kill.  But I was stunted by the performance of Lea Seydooux, who playing a strong female character that she could be ranked up to the top with the other Bond Women.

I can't leave out the opening credits "Writing on the Wall" by Sam Smith. After Adele's Oscar winning song of Skyfall, Smith wrote and made another masterpiece that brings thrills but haunting to the movie that gets me excited. I believe this song will be another award winning hit.

Overall, I was amazed out this film came out and didn't realize that through out Daniel's Bond films that it was a trilogy after all. Well, it had the feeling to it, if none of you agree on that. If Daniels does decide to leave (which I think he'll do one more) that he leaves it all on a high note.

Overall, I give this film a 9/10.

Spectre is in theaters everywhere now and in IMAX.

Michael: Happy 50th Anniversary Days of Our Lives!!!

War & Talk: Doctor Who "The Zygon Inversion"




In part two of this episode, the zygons are trying to take over the world and look for the Osgood box. While the Physician and Osgood are on the plane, the Zygon version of Clara is shooting rockets. But the honest Clara, who's in a pod underground, can still communicate with the Zygon.

The Doctor and Osgood escaped the plane before the blast. The Doctor thinks Clara is dead, but when he gets a text from her, Osgood believes that she may be alive.

The zygon, or Bonnie as she calls herself, tries to find the Osgood box so she can cause chaos. She realizes Clara can still control the body and goes to her pod for information. Clara challenges Bonnie, but Bonnie makes threatens her life.

Bonnie takes Clara to the Tower, while the Doctor and Osgood get attacked by zygons but saved by Kate, who pretends to be one of them. Kate is upset and wants to destroy the Zygons, but the Doctor doesn't, and when they get there, he makes a perfect case.

There in the tower are two boxes. Heck, you know there isn't just one, and both Kate and Bonnie try to make the decision. But the Doctor makes a case for not to do it and that he's seen what it's like and almost destroyed his people, but Clara helps him see it.

The two stopped and ended the battle. Yes, I'm still calling it a battle. Bonnie lets it go and gives every one of their kind a chance at freedom, while Kate forgets this had ever happened.

Meanwhile, we still couldn't get an answer from Osgood if she was a human or a zygon, and then came another one. Here's my point: who cares if she's a Zygon? Osgood is here and isn't leaving. Having two of them should be twice the fun and twice the more Doctor wardrobe.

I was amazed at this episode. Give a lot of credit to Peter; he gave an outstanding performance when talking to Kate and Bonnie. I was moved and amazed.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights at 9/8c on BBC America.

Church's Puppets: Friday Night Comedy


Undateable "A Puppet Walks into the Bar"

This live show was a lot interesting than last week's episode thanks due to the puppets.

When Leslie's boyfriend ask Justin to help him propose to Leslie, Justin gets everyone involved including Danny. They plan in by using puppets of themselves (how freakin cool!!!!) but when it came time, Leslie tells Danny that he might not be the one and freaked out Danny.

Danny to fix it with Justin it just made it worst. I know Danny is trying to be the brother that he can be. But I have to say that it was hilarious when Justin and Danny came back to the bar and told Leslie that they just fixed it again and made it a whole lot worst.

But at the end, they made up by using their puppets and give them a puppet hug.

I enjoyed this episode so much. They look way better than watching that new series The Muppets. I enjoyed Shelly and Candice's puppets along with Danny who not only had his puppet show his chest but had to make his own shirt pop out again.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Undateable Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Truth Be Told "Psychic Chicken" 

When Sadie hears the word death, heaven and church, Mitch and Tracy acts quickly to figure out how to explain what all those are but it doesn't quiet go the way they want it. Also Mitch's sister comes to visit and brings her boyfriend, a psychic.

I have to give performers all around for to almost the entire cast members in this episode. Lachey was also stunning as well. She quiet hasn't deal with the lost of her grandfather who had died years later and tries to say thanks to him with the help of the psychic. And also explaining to Sadie about heaven and death since she learned watch church and death means when not only from Russell and Angie but from the school teacher as well.

It's great to see Ashley Tisdale, who plays Mitch's younger sister and ask him for a loan even though she owns him a lot. They are complete opposite of each other but funny to watch when they glop down ice cream after tonight's event.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Truth Be Told Friday nights at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Come Fly with Him: The Blacklist "Sir Crispin Crandall"




Now that the Three Amigos are baack (Dembe, Liz and Red), their hunt is to find the next Blacklister and with that they're going to use FBI while The Director has his fingers and ears on them. And this blacklister will only be stopped while he's on the ground for a short time.

Red,Liz and Dembe travel to Canada for a project that they're working on, but they need something from Sir Crispin Candall, the next blacklister who has something that Red needs to get this thing moving to help save Liz.

Now Candall is probably one of the interesting new blacklister this season, kidnaps high profile scientists and transforms them with a new body. Not to mention that he freezes people for the future (I believe Walt Disney is around too). And oh yeah, Candall does all this in his plane that is up in the air. How freakin cool is that?!

At the time, Russler and the gang try to get to Candall's next victim, another scientist. They succeed and track down Candall's plane, but when they get to his air stripe, they find a whole bunch of frozen folks in a chamber like it was a scene from the film Coma.

The Director in the meantime, knows that Red has been talking with the FBI and gets Solomon up to speed about Candall. When the FBI was heading over to Candall also Red and Liz, Solomon try to get there before FBI do.

Red and Liz get there and spend some time talking. I get freakin nervous when time not our friend, with Solomon on the way that is. Red shoots Candall and his people prep him for frozen chamber while Red is looking for someone in the chamber. When he finds the person, he takes his thumbs and leaves. Solomon get there with his guys but Liz and Red escape in time and locks Solomon in the room.

With those thumbs Red took, it lead to a secret locked box in Canada where The Director keeps some stuff that is very valuable. That project was to break in the bank , grab the box, leave the thumbs and make the Director scared out of his mind.

Oh Red did call the Director about what he did and that he'll be going down unless he gets the charges drop on Liz. Looks like he won't back down and I have no idea what he has in store for Liz and Red but that does scare the ship out of me.

Also Ressler knows that the Director has someone working for him due to the video tape that they got of Solomon walking off the frame.

This episode didn't disappoint at all. I enjoyed the blacklist who tries to save people for the future, I wouldn't want to do that if Disney has done it. No body wants to relive what he had done. But anyway, it was great to see Liz, Red and Dembe back. And of course, Tom getting his butt kicked, had to kill someone and than take down another couple of people to get to Kurtkart.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

There's only one episode left til the fall finale (Nov. 19). The next two episodes shouldn't be missed at all.

You can catch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

Dreaming Accuse: Scream Queens "Beware of Young Girls"



Chanel #2 gets a funeral, the Dean gets accused of being a murder and Chanel knows who could two devil killers.

Finally after I would think seven episode in that these characters held a funeral for one of their dead friends. Chanel #2 gets a eulogy from Chanel unlike any other and tells her to riot in hell. The group later decide to play the Ouija broad to contact the spirits, they did and it freaked out about it.

Chanel freaks out that Chanel #2 tells that Chad has been cheating. She goes to Chad and interrupts his play date with his goat as he's trying to get the goats milk because he's lactose and tolerant. But the two make up as always.

The rest of the Chanel's think that Chanel could be the killer and devise a plan to killer. That plan was ruin by Chanel #2 as she told Chanel about it in a laxative dream. And as Chanel stops them by accusing them, she tells them that she knows who the killer is.

Meanwhile the dean gets arrested as Grace and Pete do their own investigation on the killing. They interview Feather McCarthy an tells them a story of how she and Dean Munsch's husband fell in love. So after, she gets home and finds a pool or blood with an arrow, follows with body parts telling her to go this way and finds her boyfriend's head in a fish tank.

Dean is arrested but gets out and gets Feather arrested and put into a glass prison just like the one from Hannibal's Silence of the Lambs. There were a few references from the film. And we do find out that the Dean actually did kill her ex-husband to get rid of Feather.

This episode was pretty good. I was amazed of Robert's performance and also Curtis too. There were Hannibal Lecter's reference that I enjoyed so much. And I'm glad to see Ariana Grande back on the show, and I thought she would be like Nick Jonas, who isn't dead. And the question still leads on who the killer is, is it Munsch? Gigi? Chanel? Grace and Zayday? I can't put one finger on it without changing it after each episode, Ryan Murphy and Co. have made this series a great mystery series.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Scream Queens Tuesday nights at 9/8c on FOX.

For Love and Family: Chicago Fire "Your Day is Coming"



Two lives hang in the balance, while one firefighter gets to the bottom of the arson case and a candidate help saves the greatest place in Chicago.

Moments later after last week's episode, Dawson arrives at Chicago Med with Bowden. Casey gets there in time and Halstead takes care of her, but after finding the problem he needs to take her to the OR. Dawson was bleeding where the baby is located and when Halstead gets in there, Dawson will be the only person to save.

After Dawson came out of surgery, Halstead tells Casey that she's alright but the baby is gone. That really upset not only Casey and Bowden but the entire 51 family. Hell, I was heartbroken too. Casey tells him that he wants to tell her about the baby, but when she comes around he tells her but doesn't seem to be there.

When Bowden and Britt come in, she asked about the baby. Casey gets Halstead at the same time she started to crash and needed to go back in the OR. Another bleeding that wasn't detected, a common thing in medicine these days.

Meanwhile, Severide searches for the files that apparently were deleted from Dawson's computer. He goes to his study buddy but she gives him some advice to get a tech. He then goes to Mouse and gets something on the computer. Thought it might have been Susan but it turned out to be Duffy.

Duffy acts like nothing is wrong and gets to Med to give Dawson a get well gift til Severide talks to him. Duff deleviers boxes of the files and leaves him a note. Severide gets a bad feeling and heads over there but sees cops at the bridge and who's there? Duffy with a weight. Duff jumps and so does Severide too and saves him.

Not to forget, Otis and Hermann gets news that Molly's is being closed because of code viiaoltion. But with a help from Jimmy, getting his cousin to help, turns out that Molly's will be open for a very long time. SO TAKE THAT PORTLAND!!! STILL JEALOUS ABOUT NOT TAKING MICHAEL JORDAN!!!!

It was near the end that got a lot emotional and teary eye. After Dawson comes out from surgery, Casey talks to her and she cries. Casey comes out to talk to the guys and tells them thanks and they headed out. But it was when Casey and Bowden looked at each other, I thought that Bowden was going to hug him and Casey was going to cry. But instead they sat down the hall and just sat there quietly. I say that Bowden is like a father figure to both Dawson and Casey and Co.

Everyone at Molly's Hermann gives a great speech about what had just happen. But it was his speech to Dawson that it the waterworks at full stream when he told her a story about how him and his wife lost their first baby but gain five and one that is already grown up. Words aren't enough to express that scene but the best word would probably outstanding.

Dawson and Casey talk about how this will effect them and to him it doesn't even he wanted kids. He only wants her and that what makes him happy.

Also to throw this out, 51 gets a call of an electrical wires down at a party, a kid is in an air castle. The teams gets there and Severide saves him within minutes. After the kid comes to the House and gives Severide a thank you card that he made. Severide was grateful and tells him that he made his day.

This episode was outstanding! The emotions were riding higher than ever. Hands down Jessie and Monica's best performance. And can't forget David Eigenberg was outstanding , McQueen who's character Jimmy is growing into a really good candidate with some tricks and even having a crush on Chili. And what about that guy who came back from the dead, I freaked out.

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

Next week's episode seems like a one not to miss. Looks like the House is going to get cleaned up and not in a good way.

You can catch Chicago Fire Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

A Hunt in the Woods: Blindspot "Set on Tour"




As one tattoo leads to a former FBI agent, it not only leads to a search and captured but also to stay alive as well.

When Weller finds a file on a former FBI agent Sal Guerrero, he wants to capture him and see what he knows about Jane. Mayfair won't talk about him and thinks that he's hard to capture.

That leads to Patterson finding the next thing in the tattoos, one that looks like a shell, and a county in Michigan to a remote place in the woods. The only problem is that the residents there don't like authority. But Weller and the gang will take the chance with a made up excuse just to get in.

When the get there, they find a guy who turns out to be Guerrero. A set up? I think not. Someone wants them to find Guerrero for a reason. Soon, the residents slashed their tires and gas-line and taken their guns. So they decided to walk their way out. They come off with a few more men shooting at them.

Jane spots a place that will help them get to safety. An oil tower, which is on her back near her neck area. They walk up there with an empty place. But they come to a floor board and find a box with a lock and used the named KURT to open it.

They find supplies from water to vest and even guns. Also a map to where it leads to a helicopter. But Weller finds out that Guerrero is being traced and takes his watch and the team splits into two. Weller and Zapata goes one way while Jane and Reade follow the map direction.

Jane shows that she really wanted to go with Weller. There's a bond between these two that still have me scratching my head, in a good way.

Jane and Reade hack up to a Ranger station where they find another map, which leads to the helicopter. But they came back to wait for Weller and Zapata. Both come in fire but Jane and Reade come into more fire with a lot of men shooting at them.

Guerrero is protected by these guys for no reason. But everyone gets together and after Zapata is rescued by the town sheriff. Weller and them get going and made it to the helicopter where Jane drive it out.

Bring in Guerrero in, Weller makes Mayfair interrogate him, but did nothing of the sort and left to her office. It caused Weller to get upset and made Mayfair spill a little bit of the bean but only mentioning Project Daylight.

Meanwhile, we get to see Patterson get out of the office and work on another clue with her boyfriend, David. He wants to move in with her but she doesn't think they would make it past 6 months. Well, he gets involved with the tattoos and they break one. As they try to break a code from a book, they get caught by Mayfair.

This episode was such a thrill. I couldn't get enough of Lou Diamond Phillips as Guerrero. When he plays a bad guy, he plays a bad guy. Even though he didn't do much of killing and such, just his dialogue was outstanding.

Seems like next week that hell is breaking loose and a war is coming. I think its going to be one hell of an episode next week.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

You can catch Blindspot Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Beyond The Events Around Us: Weekend Catch Up Part 13

iZombie "Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blue

When a murder of a country singer is found strangled, takes on as a country singer and a very good one at that.

Not only does Liv get that country singer in her but she also wrote a song based on her relationship with Major, who I thought they were going to break their relationship off again. They asked the boyfriend and even the creepy bar owner who was hitting on her but in the end, it turned out that the victim was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Turned out to be a robber, who just pulled a robbery at a store and dropped the gun at the same neighborhood.

Not only does Liv rediscovers love, but Clive experiences it to with an FBI agent looking into missing high profile cases. Also I can't put more stress on it that I've very much happy to see Peyton and Liv back together as friends. And just thought Liv and Major were done for, they came back to each others arms, or should I say that Major came back to her arms.

I enjoyed this episode so much that some of the phrases that Liv keeps say stuck in my head, mostly the "well, butter my button and call it a biscuit

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10

You can catch iZombie Tuesday nights at 9/8c on The CW.


Arrow "Beyond Redemption"  

When a task force is killing and stealing drug money, its up to the Green Arrow and the team to stop them and get some help from Lance. Also Oliver makes it official on running for Star City mayor.

For an episode to tell this kind of story, it feels more like a fell in than anything. Yeah the criminals were cops trying to make more at what they are making. I can understand that. I feel like the only thing that got done in this episode was that Oliver and the team got new digs, Laurel shows Quentin that Sara is alive.

But probably the only thing that got the episode any taste was the head butting of Oliver and Quentin, not only asking for his recommendation for Mayor but talking about Quentin's relationship with Dahrk. I will say that this was Paul Blackthorne's best performance so far. He had a lot on his plate more than any other character in this episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Arrow Wednesday nights at 8/7c on The CW.


Code Black: "Doctor With Borders" 

When a epidemic of respiratory illness comes to the hospital, Neal and the team race against time to treat and figure out what this illness is. Also a patient comes in with barbwire in his leg.

This episode showed it's best for Raza Jaffery as Dr. Hudson. On top of the epidemic, finding out that his mother is suffering too. He deals with not only professional but also personal when his dad butts in as well. I was very astonished from Jaffery's performance.  

It soon turned out that it's not a deadly virus but a chlorine based where it burns through the throat, creating air from getting out.

Also watching Angus and Mario butted heads again was once again okay. These two are a bit of a bossom buddies rivalry. I have to hand it to Angus that he stepped up and never backed down from what he thinks and believes.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Code Black Sunday nights at 10/9c on CBS.


Heroes Reborn: "June 13th Part 1" 

In this part one of the two part episode, there were questions that were answered in this stunning episode.

Noah and Hiro tracks back to the event of June 13th 2014 at the Submit. Mohinder receives a message from Angela about Erica's plan. Noah and Hiro try to find Claire until Noah relives some of the events that happen before the event.

Angela gets to Hiro and Noah and informs him that Claire had called her that she's in the hospital. Noah goes with Angela while Hiro stops Harris along with Mohinder. They couldn't stop the bombs from going off.

Meanwhile, Noah finds out that Claire has died not from the blast, but from childbirth. And here's another shocker for ya, they're twins, a boy and a girl. Noah finally understand why he couldn't remember the event that took place, because he was hiding the whereabouts of Claire's kids.

Both of the kids were gone to separate ways, Nathan went to a nurse and Malina went to someone else. Nathan is who we know as Tommy.

So the point of this season I'm guessing is Save the Cheerleader's children, save the world.

This was hands down the best episode so far. There were a lot of questions answered and even though there are still more, it was literally the best hour of television, along side with The Blacklist.

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch Heroes Reborn Thursday nights at 8/7c on NBC.


The Player "The Norseman" 

This show is more entertaining than any other new drama show. After watching this episode, I can't believe that a lot of viewers aren't watching it.

When a bet is on to take down a killer, Alex not only takes him down but does it twice. The killer is more of witchcraft kinda of guy that needs to kill for the spirit. But after Alex take him down once, the killer gets revenge and takes his niece to do the final task.

Alex is furious and goes after the guy. After a few bumps and cuts, he comes and beats the crap out of him. But doesn't kill him or take him into custody. Alex stop him from killing after midnight and won the bet. That leaves The Dealer to come and clean up.

Oh my god, Wesley Snipes is amazing. I can never tell if he's good or bad but that fight scene was superb the best fight scene in a while.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Player Thursday night's at 10/9c on NBC.

A Battle of Rights: Doctor Who "The Zygon Invasion"




What a perfect time for this episode to air in the US on Halloween night.

This episode opens up with a flashback to The Day of the Doctor when the Three Doctors made UNIT and the Zygons made peace. We see Osgood back and making a video of how they made a peace treaty, along with showing a box to indicate if anything goes wrong.

The Zygons kidnapped Osgood, and it's up to the Doctor, Clara, and UNIT to scatter to free her. The Doctor goes to the Middle East, Clara stays in London, and Kate goes to New Mexico. But when things start to rattle, and the Doctor has caught a Zygon, a surprise comes about and leaves the episode with a giant cliffhanger as the Doctor is on his Presidential plane.

It's hands down one of the best cliffhanger episodes yet. I didn't even see this one coming at all. Who knew that Clara was a Zygon and was held in a pod? I was stunned and amazed.
And I should say that it's great to see Osgood back, even if she is a hybrid of a Zygon and Human, something that's been a lot in this season. Osgood is one of my favorite supporting characters, even with her wardrobe, wearing the scarf to the questions on her collar.

And I couldn't get enough of the Doctor, not only playing Amazing Grace in the TARDIS but also confronting kids at a park. It looks so weird and wrong from a stranger's perspective, but it was hilarious.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights at 9/8c on BBC America.
