What If: The X-Files "Founder's Mutation"

On the second night of The X-Files two night premiere, Mulder and Scully gets a case that will take them through another personal journey.

"Founder's Mutation" was suppose to be the fifth episode but decided to air it as the second episode, proves to be a smart decision. I will say that this was a lot better than the first episode because it hard more of a case story than what we say in "My Struggle."

The one thing that made me enjoy this episode was the fact that Mulder and Scully's investigation had them dealing with what would have happen if they had kept their son, William. The case dealt with a mysterious death in a government owned program by the Department of Defense, studying the different defects of children.

Scully thinks of what it would have been if she kept William. She would have taken him to school, than quickly move toward when he gets hurt and is taken to a hospital. And in the last sequence, she gets a waking yell from him and asked what's wrong with him as she sees his face turn white with no nose and big eyes, like an alien, or one of those Flesh people from Doctor Who.

For Mulder, they spent an evening watching a movie and asking about how these apes were acting like; than moves toward when they're going to blast a rocket up in the sky and Mulder gives his best JFK impression of his speech of going into space. And the final one was just like what he saw when his sister was taken, William floats in the air and is suddenly gone.

Such a well-told story that gave these two characters the idea of what it would have been like, even though what they have done for William was probably for the best. (If you don't know about the story of William, I best recommend you watch Season Nine or see this clip).  

Besides that storyline, the case story was also intriguing. This wasn't just a kill for the top government secrets, but a secret for a love one. A kid searching for his sister that he has never met before, but both of them have unique abilities.

Kevin, the searcher for his sister, has the ability to get into people's heads but the bad part is that the person that he's in hears a bad high pitch sound. Mulder was one of those that he was communicating.

Mulder and Scully find Kevin and brings him to where her sister is at, the same hospital that they were just in asking questions about these experiments. The doctor takes blood and than takes him to his sister but wasn't really her and that just freaks him out and searches for her. They found each other and but in that scene as the doctor tells Kevin to back off, he pulls that pitch sound in his head. Scully tells him to stop and Molly forces her to the wall and also Mulder, forcing him to go all the way back.

Kevin gives the doctor one terrible bleed from both ears, mouth, nose and eyes. Mulder did say that he saw his eyes pop out, which would have been so cool to see that in there, but there are standards. The DOD takes over and is searching for Kevin and Molly. In the meantime, Mulder kept the blood sample that the doctor took from Kevin at the end.

This episode was really good and way better than the first episode. David and Gillian's performance was just outstanding in the scenes of where they are with their son. It played so well into this episode. Smart move to move this episode up from it's original airing.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

The next episode is consider from critics "an instant classic." That's what the promo said. Hell, I can argue with that since as Scully tells Mulder, "it has a monster in it." I love it when they show monsters, its my favorite thing of the show.

You can catch The X Files Monday nights at 8/7c on FOX.

The Devil Can Solve It: Lucifer "Pilot"

We've all heard the phrase, "The devil made me do it." For Lucifer, it's more of the devil helping solve it. Here's my thoughts. 

The Truth Is Still Out There: The X-Files "My Struggle"

First, let me just say that I don't think I was only one who gotten goosebumps from the very beginning of this first episode. From the catch up intro to seeing Scully and Mulder for the first time, just makes me glad that the show is back.

The premiere episode, "My Struggle," deals with the persona of both Mulder and Scully coming to grips with what they thought to believe that turns out to be the complete opposite. Can something that you once believed be a lie?

For Mulder, he's summoned by Tad O'Malley, who's like Bill O'Reilly meets YouTube, wants his input on a case that involves his source, Sveta, that she's been abducted. Not only did Mulder go but Scully went too, and it felt like love at first sight again. But you can see in their eyes that they haven't been together.

As Mulder and Scully listens to Sveta, Mulder seems to be interested again but for Scully, she doesn't seem to want to believe it anymore. When Scully takes some blood from Sveta for testing, Sveta triggers Scully about her and Mulder's life, Mulder looking depressed and telling her that she doesn't know how it feels about being abducted and tested. Scully leans forward with eyes wide open telling her that she does know.

For Scully, tries to not want to believe anything going on and tries to warn Mulder of what could happen if he goes forward with this investigation. She gets the blood test and not only has Sveta's results but her own as well, just to make sure. And even though she lied to Mulder and Sveta of the results, it turned into a chain reaction of the government destroying everything from the spaceship that O'Malley showed Mulder to taking down O'Malley and even taking out Sveta with a spaceship.

Mulder sees that everything that he and Scully have been working on is a lie from the government, that it's not aliens that are hiding but the government using alien tech on humans. He chatted to a doctor that was apart of one alien experiment that happened in 1947 and the outcome just pushed Mulder to get to the bottom of this.

Mulder meets with Scully in the parking lot and looks like hell. After telling her about what's been going on, she tells him that she lied about the test, but they have one who is positive with alien blood and she wants to help take down those SOB's. But soon they get a text from Skinner that they must come in at once.

Looks like The X-Files have reopened once again and a certain someone isn't too happy about that at all. I'm talking about the Cigarette Smoking Man, which has me asking, how the hell did he get out of that blast in the series finale?

This was a very good solid episode. Watching both Mulder and Scully deal with their struggles of getting back to The X-Files. Both David and Gillian were fantastic and looks like they never missed a step when it comes to doing scenes with one another.

It was a real treat to see at the end, CSM still smoking with some assistants and saying that they have a problem.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch The X-Files in it's regular night and time Monday nights at 8/7c on FOX.

Meet Fred: The Blacklist "Mr. Gregory Devry (No. 95)"

Is it possible that after two and a half seasons in, that the Red we all know could be a fake? This episode gave one great twist that even gave Aram a headache during the episode.

Spoiler Alert!

Liz is just getting settled in back to normal life after everything the past three months. She turns in her badge and every gun she owns as she takes on being an informant for Cooper and the team. For Liz it gets every hard not to spring into action.

She meets Red at his place, where Mr. Kaplan just informed him of a message that someone knows what he's done. Red talks to Liz about Shell Island, a place where groups top criminals get together and have a meeting. Telling her that someone put together a meeting and gives Liz some names to go through.

As they Liz and the team goes through each member, one name pops up and spotted his location. Ressler and Samar get there but a twist that comes into play as the guy that they picked up is named Raymond Reddington.

Boy talking about deja vu all over again. Raymond gets placed in the same box as Red was back in the pilot and Liz got to talk to him. He tells her that the Red that they have know is a fake and that he's the real one.

Red gets there and even though he is flattered, he knows that Raymond was the one who informed the meeting. And soon he left but just before anything, Liz talks to him about how long this is going to go for. Red shows her a world map that has spots of each dangerous crime organization, powerful than the Cabul and gives a Hydra reference.

Soon, Liz talks to Raymond and agrees to let him out and help them go to the meeting. But Red beats him up there to Shell Island and talks to them that someone has been stepping into his business. That is until one of the members confront that Red is working with the FBI, that is until Raymond comes in with the game just getting started.

Liz and the FBI sitting outside, Red makes the case that Raymond is impostor and works for not only the FBI but one of the crime lords. As soon as Red tells them that Raymond is wired, the FBI goes in. With minutes to spare, Red kills the crime lord and Raymond too and sneaks out of the building, fooling the FBI that they were going to the roof thanks to helicopters going by.

Red tells Liz that Raymond was a con-man by the name of Gregory Devry, a cons con if you say. Even though it felt so twisted and made me think that the idea of Red could be a fake was smart.

Other mentions:

Not to mention that Liz tries to get things back in place, getting an apartment (after having some trouble getting one), Tom proposes to Liz on the spot and have sex in his boat again. And near the end, she gets beat up by some punk. But as she's in the hospital, she gets news that she's pregnant.

And Tom meets wit Red and informs him that he is never to marry Liz again. And Tom mentions again the word, father, which brings that question once again, could he be Liz's father and also who is Mr. Kaplan to Red?

I was amazed how this episode went, showing Liz's struggles and surprise throughout the episode. Jake Weber was really good being the doppelganger of Red, even though he had hair and taller. This episode opens to many questions down the road, mostly for Liz.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Daytime Attraction

Since May 2015, I've been staying at home, caring for my grandmother, and keeping myself busy before I go insane. I'm usually taking classes to continue my education, but I've taken a detour and chosen the right thing to do.

But this isn't about that at all. This contains what I consider a new leap into my television viewing. I watch morning television like The Today Show Me and shows on Primetime and the fun times of Late Night, but in the Daytime, I rarely view often, except when hanging with someone like my grandfather and his late friend or at a doctor's office.

Daytime television is something that I wouldn't say I like to get into, and more importantly, the soap operas that are on the airwaves. I always thought they were shows that use every element in the book to get people to watch. I learned this past summer that I was wrong; with two soaps, I enjoy the Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives.



For a good nine months or so, I've been addicted to these two soaps. The one thing I'm hooked on is some of these characters: Adam Newman, Chelsea Newman, Victor Newman and Jack Abbott, Mariah Copeland, Kevin Fisher, and Phyllis Summers. I do enjoy watching Jack and Victor go at it with one another. Probably have them sit in a room with a chessboard and have at it with their charm talk.

My favorite "It couple" of the show is Adam and Chelsea Newman. These two try to find happiness, but things get in the way now. Adam is kidnapped and wants Victor to deliver Natalie, Kevin's business partner in this billion-dollar project that they made investments with two people, one being Victor and the other being a question mark to me.

Another reason why I like Adam and Chelsea is that Melissa Claire Egan and Justin Hartley are just amazingly brilliant. I root for them for happiness.



Days of Our Lives has been playing in my house since I was little. I can't get enough of the intro with the hourglass. I've always criticized the show for what's being shown. I mean, a mysterious island and such is just weird. But then I started getting into it when my grandmother was in the nursing home for a while. It's the only soap opera I will discuss, as she watches General Hospital.

I was impressed with what they did for Day's 50th anniversary. I'm glad that they brought a lot of the characters from the past back, but I also loved how they came in and just went just like that. Hell, I was so rooting for Bo to kick Aiden's ass, as he was going to kill Hope.

Also, the necktie killer was good too, but it had me rooting for Chad to find Abigail and kick (the necktie killer)  Ben's ass, too.

I should say that Chad and Abigail are my "it" couple of Days. To me, they're just like Bo and Hope or John and Doc.

Also, not to mention that there have been a lot of deaths this year from Will to Bo, to Dr. Dan, and even Stefano. I was stunned to see Stefano go, but I could understand why. This is the new Day and not my grandmother's Day anymore. The writing has gotten sharper since the summer, and the stories have been so good.

I never in my mind go to the dayside of things. In the past, the only daytime shows I would see were after-school shows like Oprah, Rosie, Dr. Phil, and such. So, I guess my television viewing is now all over the spectrum from morning, noon, evening, and late night.

 I still don't know if that's good or bad, but it seems fine.

Don't Throw Stones at Families: Supergirl "Blood Bonds"/"Childish Things"

In the episode, "Blood Bonds," Kara is in a sticky situation when Non defeats her and take Hank as a hostage to exchange for her Aunt's return and safety.

With Hank gone, Alex is incharge of the DEO but that's changed when General Lane comes in and takes over from the orders of the President. Kara tries to talk with her Aunt of the whereabouts of where Hank is being held at, but no answer.

Lane and his men give Astra an ejection of kryptonite to tell them where Hank is being held at, but no answer. Kara, feeling with defeat, has another issue on her hands as if she doesn't come clean about being Supergirl that Cat will fire her. With one second of the ultimatum, Kara quits.

Soon, Alex and Kara make efforts on the whereabouts of Hank, but turns out to be a trap and Kara made quite an impression with one of the commanding solider, when she saved him from the blast.

He's impression help go against Lane's orders and help Kara and Alex deliver Astra to Non for Hank. At one point it looked like a smooth exchange but Non had setup an ambush with his crew to attack them. But Astra ordered them to stand down and left.

Astra made her crew not to attack for the time being due to the act that Kara has showed her. It does show that when they talked about how they are blood bond, that everyone is blood bond no matter what kind of who you are. Everyone is equal is the same.

Also the cat is out of the bag when Kara learns that Hank is an alien known as J'onn J'onzz and gave her some help with a Cat problem. Supergirl comes in to talk with Cat but before Cat tries to tell her that she knows that she Kara, Kara comes in her office.

I have to say that finally knowing that Hank is J'onn J'onzz is a bit of a relief. The reason why is that he was such a pain in the ass, almost like the character from Homeland. Another good performance from Melissa Benoist.


In the episode "Childish Things," Win's father escapes and making a living nightmare for Win. Hank and Alex tries to see what Lord is hiding.

Word is out that Win's father, The Toyman, has escape from jail and the FBI is on the hunt for him. They think that he's contacted with him, which they are right, but doesn't tell them but tells Kara about it.

Win tries to meet his father around an amusement park, but when the FBI comes in, the situation gets gassy and Supergirl comes in and sucks the gas and releases. Toyman wants to make Win happy as he told him that he's his greatest creation. Something that might have to worry down the road with the phrase like father like son.

But when Win and Kara find a clue to where Toyman might be at, Supergirl gets there but is trapped from his quick sand in a box. And as he leaves, has what sounds like a kid in a box about to get cut up but it turns out to be just a voice recorded doll.

In the heat of the moment, Win talks to Kara and as they talk, Win kiss her. Embarrass from the kiss, Win leaves and is taken by his father. His father tells him that he wants him to kill his old business partner with a toy gun or if he doesn't than he'll blow up the place.

Win tries to do it but shoots in the air, FBI comes in and stops Win but Supergirl saves him. Win tells her that there are bombs, so she tries to get everyone on the other side and breaks the water sprinklers and uses her freeze breath to use it as a shield, which worked. And soon stops Toyman.

To figure out what Lord is doing, Alex sets up a date with him, how creepy right? As that goes on, Hank transformers into Lord and tries to get in the secret locked room. As he goes through the door, he sees a girl being treated with blue dye IV and soon opens her eyes.

Hank gets into a situation with the security, but uses his mind control to erase his mind completely. But doesn't stop Lord from seeing who broke in and also not to mention put a camera on Alex's purse, spying on both Kara, in her outfit, and Alex.

Also not to mention that Win finally express his love for Kara but Kara wants them to be what they have always been, best friends. Win also mention that he doesn't want to be like his father, who kept his feelings in and being afraid.

This was a very good episode that show a lot of development in Win. I was impressed with the Jeremy Jordan's performance in this, also not to mention Melissa Benosit too.

Also having Lucy Lane working in the same building with her boyfriend, that sounds complicated with the relationship with Kara.

I feel like this show has really gotten into a really nice shape of storytelling and where it's going, since the pilot.

Overall, I give "Blood Bonds" a 7/10 and "Childish Things" a 8/10.

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

Red's 11: The Blacklist "The Director Conclusion"

After keeping Liz alive last week, now its time for Red to assemble his team of choice and save Liz.

I really do call this episode Red 11, because just watching Red inform the team about how and what they are going to do to save Liz just makes me think that this is from Ocean's 11.

Red's plan, which was from the beginning of hostage at the dinner or should I say since the beginning of this season was to rumble the Cabul's feathers and get them to a weak point.

Red's plan is to get The Director to his marriage therapy appointment and make him think that he's in the office but not. How do plan it was that they recreate what the 6th floor (the hallway and office) and place it to the eighth floor. To get him there they give his wife a coffee that was drugged that made her a bit freaky.

On his way, by the time he gets to the office, he sees a bowl of apples instead of a statue that is normally outside the office. Kaplan and others were nervous but Red thinks its going to work and it did. As Red says "Everybody loves apples."

The Director is escorted to the room and sees Red, gets drugged and is taken quickly out of the building in a real Ocean 11 fashion. There the director wakes up on the plane, sees Red and is told that he will be the first American   to be convicted on War Crimes.

There, Red makes a call to Hitchin to make a deal for Liz's freedom. Red's lawyer gets there and goes over what is the best deal possible, drop all counts expect the Connolly shooting, for which she will serve three years probation.

Red accepts the deal and talks to Hitchin alone, she ask for him to do a favor and get rid of the Director. And for that he just did, after a really nice chat that he knows why he's with Liz. And for that a family gets a nice gift for dinner as the Director crashes into their home.

Meanwhile, Liz, who's going through a lot of emotion, writes her will as she fears if she wasn't going to make it out alive. Ressler protecting her until her hearing, also informs a journalist that a break in the case will be revealed soon.

Tom brings Karakart to the court, which also helps Liz get a deal. As Liz looks over the deal agreement, she talks to Red and discuss it. Liz always wanted to be working with the FBI but she'll now have to be an informant just like Red and work together taking down more blacklisters.

She signs it and as Liz gets her things and walks out of the building, there seems to be no one there. But as soon as the bus passes, Red is across the street waiting for her. As she walks to him, she hugs him and I think not only me but everyone probably felt relieved that this is over, for now.

Everything is back to normal, Liz and Red are still working for the FBI, Cooper is back as the Director of the unit and that leaves with  one question, why was Red and Hintchin having a drink together. What's their connection? Is Red part of the Cabul?

Next week's episode looks so good. A guy that dresses, acts and talks like Red is being played by the actor from Medium. Also looks like there's going to be a twist that no one should miss out.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.      

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

Netflix Renews Jessica and Kimmy

On Sunday, Netflix announced that it'll renew Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for a third season during the TCA winter press conference.

The second season of the Tina Fey created series will makes it's premiere on April 15th.

In the upcoming season, Kimmy will have to face "deeper emotional and life issues," teased Fey about season two and also will make an appearance too, but not as her Marcia Clark lookalike character.

Meanwhile, it's also announced that Netflix also renewed Jessica Jones for a second season.

According to Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos  that the sophomore run Krystal Ritter led series will run another 13 episodes, but won't debut until the new upcoming Marvel series The Defenders wraps up it's first season.

"The complex (part) is running into The Defenders. (That) production schedule will effect a lot in Season 2 and Season 3 outputs (for other Marvel projects)."

To me, this is an exciting news. Both shows made my Top 10 List of 2015.  I literally can't wait for the new season and see where both characters will go.

You can catch the first seasons of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Jessica Jones now streaming on Netflix.

Fox renews Scream Queens

After months of whether or not it will get cancelled, it's official that Scream Queens will be back for a second season.

The network on Friday announced that the Ryan Murphy's slasher comedy was renewed for a second season, ending the speculations of it's future due to it's rating challenge.

"It's going to take place in a hospital and explore some of the most interesting medical fascinomas," says Fox boss Gary Hewman. "This is something Ryan Murphy loves and had a lot of fun with on "Nip/Tuck, and he, Brad (Falchuk) and Ian (Brennan) are going to infuse that sensibility on Scream Queens."

"Ryan definitely intends to bring some of the actors from the fist installment back," adds Fox's Dana Walden. "I believe they will be the same characters."

Scream Queens ended it's first season in December with the long-awaited reveal of Lea Michele's Hester as the dreaded Red Devil, who was terrorizing Wallace University.

Though the series average just 2.8 million viewers weekly and a 1.1 demo rating. But Fox notes that only 30 percent of its audience watched live, with 26 percent caught up on DVR and 44 percent viewed the show via VOD and Hulu.

The Name of the Game: The Blacklist "The Director No. 24"

The Blacklist is back and the name of the game is to keep Liz Keen alive. This was the most intense episode so far and it was done was well.

Liz awaits for Ressler as she's being moved to the Post Office until the U.S, Marshall get there to take her to her hearing. She tells Ressler that she won't make it to that hearing alive.

The Director and Hitchin go over the plan on how to make Liz not make it to her hearing. It would be under the Director himself taking her to a unknown location and make her run and then shoot her. Making it look like she was getting away.

Ressler gets a call from Red and has hard headed he is sometimes. Red tells him that his protection won't keep Liz alive for long and that he has a plan. Ressler declines Red's offer.

As Ressler and Liz get to the Post, Liz gets put into the same box cell that Red was put in in the series premiere. Then the Director make's his appearance with his men and want to take Liz to her hearing. Ressler doesn't approve and talks to Hitchin about it. Also asking the whereabouts of Wright.

Hitchin tells Ressler she doesn't know but tells him a name that she told her and it triggered that Hitchin is also working for the Cabul. Ressler then calls Red back and tells him that he's needs help. Red tells him that Harold and Tom have the one major piece of the puzzle to help Liz free from this mess. But Ressler needs to get to Tom and Harold.

But just before leaving, Ressler tells Aram to change the codes on the doors and don't let the Director or anyone until he or the Marshalls get there. Ressler drives to the cabin where Tom is at trying to warn him that the Cabul are coming.

When Ressler gets there, Tom wasn't too pleased but when he was informed that they need to get out it was too late. It turned into a real Bunny and Clyde situation but smart as they are, they got out alive and also arrested Solomon too.

As for Red and Samar, they try to get their hands on the package that him and Liz were trying to take. Red certainly had a plan using drugs to lure the evidence truck to the scene and take the package and leave. Smart and who knew that Red had so much drugs and even the best meat in the world in his storage. Amazing!

With all of this going on, I believe that the most intense and outstanding performance came when Aram trying to keep Liz alive and within the Post. As both of them talked, Liz starts to have trouble breathing. Losing air in the her cell, Aram has to make a choice to either give the codes or let Liz die and in this situation he had to do what he had to do, he gave them the codes.

As the Director and team taking Liz, Aram did the most bravest thing ever in the three seasons of the show, pulled a gun and aimed it towards the Director. Hell, I wanted to blow his head off too. Liz had to clam Aram down and told him that it was okay. He was pushed aside but just in time the U.S. Marshalls came and told the Director and Hitchin to back off because they don't have orders to take Liz anywhere.

Liz is saved, Solomon is in jail (for now) and Red had a really nice chat with Aram that even my own mother thought wasn't going to end well.

Aram meets Red at a grave that was dug up. Red tells a story and just for a second you would think that he was going to shoot Aram, he doesn't it. Red tells Aram that if it wasn't for him keeping Liz alive that this grave would have been filled and for that he will be deeply in debut under Reddington.

Hell, I was both scared and emotional after that scene. But this episode doesn't end here as Jan. 14th will be the second part of the episode. The Director will be getting what's coming and from what the promo gave, it looks like it's Blacklist meets Ocean's 11 type of situation. I literally can't wait for the concussion of the episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

As Herrmann is stable, the 51 gang gets back to work and gets a call of a fire that's started with a gas leak. But when Casey and Dawson checked the basement to shut the gas off and spots a lady covering her face with a plastic bag.

As they bring the victims to Med, the gang goes back to check on Herrmann. Meanwhile Choi takes a look at the lady that was trying to commit suicide. He's puzzled and gets help from Halstead and Charlies for help.

Meanwhile, being treated for smoke inhalation, Cruz leaves and tries to find Freddie on his own. He stops in a bad part of the neighborhood where he forces his way up but gets stopped by a member with a gun. Just in time, Severide gets there and Cruz leaves with the rest of the Squad. In a Severide way, telling him that he doesn't want to have another person in the hospital, I take that as an apologize.

As everyone waiting news from Rhodes, Rhodes told everyone that it's going to take time and that surgery is in store if something goes wrong. Herrmann asked for Cruz to come in alone and in one of the best scenes of the episode, Cruz gives his fullest apologize of what had happen with Freddie and that he wanted to kill him.

Herrmann tells him that he doesn't blame him for anything that he did, but appreciates for what hes done to help Freddie. And Herrmann won't forgive Freddie and soon crashes and Rhodes takes him to the OR and opens up to Med.

Rhodes tries to get things going to save Herrmann. He calls for Zanetti for help and as she comes in, she gives him crap about the decision he made of course of treatment for Herrmann and that he could have save a lot of blood.

The case of the suicide patient gets looked at and Reese has an idea for a test to give her, and it as the test results came, it showed that this patient doesn't have cancer.

Later on, Will's brother Jay asked him about his opinion about Herrmann's treatment. Will says that he didn't see what was going on but he probably would have done it differently. Severide make sure Rhodes knows that and the two gives the dirty look that they're about to rumble.

Soon Rhodes gets called to a trauma along with Halstead and they treat a lady who suffered a seizure and got hit by a car. She died right there and soon gets called from Charlies and Goodwin about the case and asked to autopsy the body to help prove his theory.

Manning gets a elderly patient who seems to be not there when communicating with her. She's a cancer patient, with a high fever and going into kidney failure. After making some progress, Manning gets called from Halstead and talks to Charlies about the case and advise to do a test and it proves that Manning's patient didn't have cancer.

Charlies and Goodwin talks to Manning and get the CPD to come. CPD opens up with Voight and the crew going through what they know about the three patients. As they were going to look through records, Manning comes in and gives them a  patient's purse so they could look through and save some time.

Soon, the name Dean Reybold is called and Voight makes a sudden stop and so does Erin and Al. Reybold was the doctor who treated Voight's late wife. Now it's gotten personal for Voight and Erin and Jay went to interview Reybold, until Erin's emotion gets the best of her.

The assistant state's attorney Shelby comes in taking the case, but it doesn't get any easy for to get this guy in jail, like Voight and everyone wanted. After two failed tries, Voight comes to Shelby for help and she tells him that she needs the names of Reybold's patients back in the trail. Voight will do that with only one request that he gets on the stand and he did.

Voight takes the stand, gets questioned by Shelby with no results, but when Reybold's attorney questioned Voight, the final question got the door open for the other patients that the doctor treated thanks to Voight admitting that he say Reybold poison his wife with chemo.

With Voight's word, Reybold was found guilty of all charges and sent to jail. As Reybold was taken away, Erin holds Voight's hand as both felt with an emotional toll has been lifted. And at the end of the episode was a video recording of Voight, Justin and Voight's wife back when they looked so so happy.

This was one of it's best crossovers, the emotions were set high and it ended high too. I can't get enough from performances from Jason Beghe, Randy Flagler, Monica Raymund, Oliver Pratt and Colin Donnell.

With each crossover, it just gets better and better. I just can't wait to see the four show crossover with SVU.

Overall, I give this crossover event 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Tuesdays at 9/8c and Chicago Fire Tuesdays at 10/9c and Chicago PD Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The new season of 12 Monkeys will return this April on SyFy.

Two Comedies Worth Watching

Tonight is the series premiere of two new comedies on NBC, Superstore and Telenovela.

Two workplace comedies staring two hilarious actresses, Eva Longoria and America Ferrera. Both series are a workplace comedy.

Superstore, which premieres first, follows a group of workers in a parody Costco store called Cloud 9. Ferrera plays Amy, a 10 year veteran at Cloud 9 and is the floor supervisor. She deals with some very dysfunctional and diverse employees.

The series has a really sold cast, from Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, Nicole Bloom and Mark McKinney as the store's manager. It's kind of like The Office meets Costco. NBC has already aired three episodes as for preview.

Telenovela is a comedy that's about the daily life of a telenovela star, Ana Sofia Calderon (played by Longoria), who doesn't speak Spanish even though she is the center of attention from her co-stars and the crew that's around her.

The series has such a great ensemble cast with Jencarlos Canela as Ana's ex-husband Xavier, Diana-Maria Riva as Mimi, Ava's best friend and the show's clothing designer, Amaury Nolasco as Rodrigo, the co-star who plays the show's villain and Alex Meneses as Isabela, former leading lady and Ana's rival.

The series is like if a telenovela and 30 Rock had a baby it would be just like this. Just like Superstore, Telenovela also previewed three episodes online and on broadcasting.

You can catch the series premiere of Superstore (8/7c) and Telenovela (8:30/7:30c) on NBC.

The Quiet Writer will be Renamed

As of  Monday, January 4th, The Quiet Writer will be renamed The Quiet Corner. 

I had another blog named The Quiet Corner (which was created back in March of 2014). With posting on two different blogs (with the same content) and other things going on right now, I felt that the decision had to be made and thought mashing them together would be the best. 

The idea for both titles came to reflect on me. If anyone knows me, I'm a quiet and shy in person. I use to or still  at times sit in the corner of rooms (a lot during high school and in college).  

I appreciate everyone who views the site and hope you still continue to with the slight change. Nothing else has change, there will still be TV recaps, reviews and The Newspaper will return soon after some retooling and much more stuff I hope would be good. 

Thank you,

Adam Baker
