The Eye in the Sky: The Blacklist "The Artax Network"


As the FBI is on their own when tryingto find Liz's killer as Reddington sees someone to give the bad news.

Cooper and the team aew on the hunt to who wanted Liz Keen. Without Reddington it would really take longer than what this episode would give. Aram hook into s system that had them seeing what the killer was seeing when watching Liz. I like to call it's God's eye because he can see everything from any camera.

They have one suspect that turns out to be the next target but by the time Ressler and Samar get there the suspect is ambushed and is almost killed but Samar saves him. But let's not forget that the person that was trying to kill the guy was the same person from the nuclear bomb theft episode and boy did she give Samar a good butt kickin.

With no idea who could be after the guy, they look back at the cameras and found a mysterious woman talking with the guy. Cooper asked Tom to follow the Attonry General Panabaker who is spotted talking with the mysterious woman. As Tom and Cooper looked at both photos, Tom thinks it could be Liz's mother.

For the team, they did find where a satalitte network that has been dead but still in use. Amar hacks in and located where the spotter is at. But by the time they get there it was too late as everything got distoryed.

On the other hand, Reddington drives to a wooden house in the woods. There he sees an elderly man and informs him about Liz's death. Turns out that he's Liz's grandfather and you can see that she has his temper. He infomers him about Liz's child, happy but not to pleased that he won't see her but in photos.

Red tries to find a way with the help from Liz's grandfather. He looks through some old things like gliter, board games along with clothes and dolls.

Red still looks lost but when Amar comes and ask for his help, he turns him down. So Amar recalled what Red told him awhile back about how this grave that they were standing could have been Liz's if he had not saved her from the cubal. Amar asked for him to repay his debt but Red turned him down.

After a talk with the grandfather, Red apparently repairs the old man's piano and leaves. I guess whatever the man told him got his edge back because by the end of the episode Amar gets a knock at his door with Red behind it. Red looks like Red and tells Amar that they have a job to do.

Red is back baby!!!

This was a very good episode and it's nice to see how the FBI worked without the help of Red. I was moved from performances from Lennix and Arison. Cooper given the eulgoy at Liz's funneral was emotional and heartfelt and Aram's speech to Red was remakrable. It's his best since the episode back in January.

Overall, I give it a 8/10.

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

The Father and Gone Girl: The Blacklist "Cape May"



OH MY GOD! That was just my first thought after watching "Cape May." This was by far the best written and acting (from Spader) of the year.

With the exhaustion and damage, Reddington leaves a Chinese restaurant after spending what I assume days after killing the doctor who tried to save Liz. He leaves and looks lost, but until he stops a taxi in the middle of the street, he gets in and asks for a trip to Cape May and pays the driver.

As they drive towards Cape May, Red reflects on the events of the death of Liz in those final moments and his discussion with Tom about how Red will never be near the child. As soon as they get there, Red takes the driver's cab, takes it, and drives towards a diner for breakfast. He spots a woman sitting and leaves her seat when a man comes towards the diner. He comes in and looks for her, but no luck.

As Red gets to the beach shack, he walks around takes a beach chair, and heads towards the beach. Red looks at the ocean and soon spots the same young woman barring something in the sand, and then runs towards the ocean. Red yells at first but then runs towards her to save her.

He brings her out of the ocean and later brings her to the beach house. The fireplace is set, and Red covers the lady with a blanket. He tries to cuddle with her to keep her warm and she speaks out that something that seems to be the reason for her suicide attempt.

Red wakes up, chilly, and looks around for the woman.  Finds her upstairs and she sees that someone is out there. Red goes out, and as he looks at what looks like someone from behind him, he takes a swing, and we learn that it is a kite.

The two looked around the kitchen and had dinner. And the two talk, Red talks about the decision that he had to make to save one life or lose two. The way Red tells it looks like he's trying to find peace with it by talking to her. She sees that he had to make that decision and soon gets interrupted by a cop.

Red and the lady go back upstairs to check the bathwater. She gets in while he sits in the other room. As they had a chat, she asked him if he had ever killed anyone, and he admitted that he had killed those who deserved it.

Soon, someone breaks into the house; Red checks looks around, and goes back up to the bathroom. As he looks at the tub, the lady tells Red that he's behind him, and we see them fight, but it is the lady who finished the job-killing the guy. They take care of the body, but soon more will come, and they get ready for more of them.

They set up traps like that in Home Alone. As they get ready, Red tells her that he isn't leaving without her and tries to convince her that suicide is a mess. The one chilling point from that scene is when he asks her for her name, which he still doesn't know, but apparently, she knows his name as she calls him "Raymond." Creepy and chilling, right?

After the two had one hell of a battle, Red goes out to get the car, but as he does, everything looks different from what he had seen. There was nobody, and the tire of the jeep was flat. He rushes back and sees that there are no dead bodies, and as he looks out of the window, he sees her again running towards the ocean.

He rushes out there, but it is too late. He spots a treasure hunter and asks if he has seen a woman. The man replied that he had not and that the only person that he had seen for the past two weeks was Red. Hold the freakin' phone. He thinks back to what happened last night and that everything he went through was him and his imagination.

If it was all in his head, then who was that woman that he was talking to that happened to know his name? As Red sees the guy finding a necklace in the sand, he asks for it and takes it to the ocean to wash the sand out. He sees the name Katarina Rostova, Liz's mother. He tells her that he keeps her life in that child and calms him down with her hand on his face.

As Red looks around and at the beach, he answers the man's question if he's alright. Red replies that he has someone to see.

What a great episode this turned out to be. It had that Gone Girl sense. James Spader give his best performance ever since, well, the pilot, and draws every emotion that he can put on Reddington as he tries to deal with the loss of Liz.

Just give Spader every acting award from Emmy to Golden Globe. Also give credit to the writer, Daniel Knauf, who wrote the episode. I literally didn't know until Red read the name of the necklace that he was hallucinating.

Overall I give this episode a perfect 10/10.

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

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Gives Up!"/"Kimmy Drives a Car!"




Episodes 5 and 6 serve as one of the best episodes so far. There's a throwback commercial to even catchy tunes that makes me beg Tina Fey and everyone to release a soundtrack.

Kimmy Gives Up!

Episode 5 has Kimmy returning to her GED class to take the final test. Not receiving a letter of it, she gets Dong's and decides to take it to him, personality. Lillian doesn't think she's doing it just to be nice but to win his heart again. 

After dropping the letter off, Kimmy is spotted by Dong's wife and comes in. Dong is mad at her at first, but it's when he tells her that he and his wife must go to a meeting to convince her that their marriage is real.  So Kimmy helps by taking them to certain spots for photos to make it look like they've been on vacation as a couple. 

But it doesn't go quite well, and Kimmy accepts that she and Dong aren't meant to be right now. But maybe in two years, they'll be the couple we want them to be. As Kimmy says, "It's hard to get over Dong."

In the meantime, Lillian sees that Titus has been singing many, many show tunes that even I've never heard of, but they're so catchy. Lillian suspects that Titus is finally happy with the relationship and such. That brought him pretty down until Lillian brought him back up with a show tune that he was surprised to know. 

And as for Jacqueline, she deals with being a parent for the first time with her son. With no Kimmy, Jacqueline goes to the doctor for help and is advised to give her kids a drug to calm them down, which calms Kayne West's behaviors. 

Given Buckley some meds, he turns into a calm zombie-like child along with the other children. When Jacqueline tells Kimmy, she convinces her that it's good, and tries it. The worst part is that she tried it just before her private outfitting and did not see the colors of the dresses as everything turned gray. But she awakes with an outfit that's hilarious and colorful, I don't think even MC Hammer. 

Jacqueline realizes she misses Buckley's misbehavior. She goes out to get some clothing, and after being asked to leave and what size she wears, she and Buckley go to the store for fun.

I loved this episode a lot. I think it's one of the best episodes so far. Titus's performance, just singing many tunes, makes me want to beg Tina and the producers to put out a soundtrack album for the show. Also, I couldn't get enough of Jane's performance too. Also, I loved how Kimmy mentioned that she's still waiting for Nickelodeon to come to her school, and so am I. I love how they add 90s references in this season. So many memories!   

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Kimmy Drives a Car   

In episode 6, Kimmy juggles two jobs: being there for Jacqueline and her job. Kimmy as she is always there for her friends. But it will cost her to gain a new job.

When Jacqueline demands Kimmy to do too many things while she has a job at the Christmas store, when Jacqueline loses a tooth, she asks Kimmy for help but goes by herself to get into the dentist without success.

Putting on a mitosis in place of her tooth, she tries to convince the secretary to get her in, but with no success. She loses her mitosis tooth as it drops into the secretary's diet Coke bottle. She later puts in a fingernail (big mistake) and demands Kimmy to take her to the dentist she knows, who turns out not to be an honest dentist.

Kimmy tells Jacqueline that her attitude isn't helping her at all. So, after a bit of a fight, they agree that Kimmy works for Jacqueline but nursing a friend and drives her to the costume shop, where she gets a sexy Joe Biden outfit and uses the teeth.

As Kimmy waits for her outside, someone gets in and thinks that she's an Uber driver. She is an Uber driver. But does ask Jacqueline to be her friend.

While this was going on, Titus and Kimmy agree to do an AIRB and agreed to their apartment for some money. Lillian doesn't like the two renters and asks Titus to get rid of them as she doesn't trust them.

There were some great guest stars from Kennan Thompson and Zosia Mamet. I enjoyed this episode as well and thought that it was about time that Kimmy put her foot down to Jacqueline. This was such a great episode for the entire cast. And I would like to thank the writers for the remainder of the mitosis commercial jiggle; I can't get it out of my head now.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix now.

Jason Bourne - Official Trailer (HD)


He's back and you know his name. He remembers....He remembers everything.
Matt Damon has return to his iconic role as Jason Bourne and this time it looks like he doesn't seem to be going after the US. Julia Stiles is back as Nicky Parsons, which is awesome!!!!

Along with these two are Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones.

This trailer looks amazing. Jason looks a lot older and a bit meaner in his years. There's so much action shown, which I love and doesn't ruin anything for me what so ever. I literally can't wait to see this film.

Here's the Trailer:

You can catch Jason Bourne in theaters July 29th.

USA Network Announces Date For Mr. Robot Season 2





When July comes, we'll finally get to know who's at the door.

On Wednesday, USA Network announced that last year's hit acclaimed drama Mr. Robot will return for it's second season on Wednesday, July 13th at 10/9c.

At the end of the freaky series ended it's first season with the trouble hacker Elliot suffering a psychotic break, before receiving a knock at his apartment door from an unknown visitor. 

Executive producer Sam Esmail said at the TCA in January that Season 2 will be zeroing in on the "emotional journey" of Rami Malek's character: "For e, the headline for season 2 is, 'How do these two guys (Elliot and Mr. Robot) reconcile? How does Elliot reconcile with the fact that he's been seeing a delusion, a fantasy?' That's a tough pill to swallow, and we're really going into the mind of a person who's just become aware of that. Will twists organically derive out of that? If I were a betting man, I'd say yes."

The second season will contain 10 episodes that will includes some new faces from Sandrine Holt (Fear the Walking Dead), Craig Robinson (The Office) and Grace Gummer (Extant), while two recurring actors from the first season, Stephanie Corneliussen and Michael Cristorfer, have been promoted to series regulars as Joanna Wellick and Phillip Price. 

You can catch the first season of Mr. Robot available at USANetwork.com.

NBC Announces Aquarius Season 2 Premiere




It was announced on Tuesday that NBC has set the date for the Season 2 premiere of Aquarius, but with some killer arrangements.

The network's David Duchovny drama, of an LAPD cop on the hunt for serial killer Charles Manson, will return on Thursday, June 16 with a two hour, commercial free premiere at 9/8c.

Yes that's right commercial free premiere. The Peacock Network announcement says it "will have absolutely no breaks for commercials or network promos, with the only stoppage coming for a one minute local news break during the show's second hour."

But when the premiere moves to online and digital platforms the next day, normal commercial breaks will air.

On June 23rd, Aquarius will move to it's normal time slot, 10/9c.


Chicago Fire Showrunner on Chili's Exit





We've known that at Firehouse 51 that there has been some changes ever sine Chicago Fire premiered. There has been a lot of personnel changes because of death from Andy Darden to Leslie Shay or even the ones that departed from Peter Mills and Scott Rice.

But when it comes to the most recent exit that took many viewers off guard was when Chili (Dora Madison) was unceremoniously fired by Boden. No doubt that disciplinary action was a long time coming for Chili since she was coming in late and drinking pretty heavily following the death of her sister. With that in mind, off screen, the decision to boot Chili was a bit of a surprise given that Madison's promotion as a series regular at the beginning of the season after joining the team as Brett's new paramedic partner at the end of the third season.

"(There are" no plans for Chili come back right now," showrunner Matt Olmstead tells to The Hollywood Reporter.

He explains that the decision behind the mid-season exit was to keep the viewers on their toes.

"You can't just save up the big moments and departures and entrances for characters at episode one and episode 22," Olmstead says. "It's almost conditions the audience to be like 'OK, we'll tune in for the first episode and tune in for the finale because not much is going to happen in between because the writers are too timid to make any kind of moves.' So you can threaten people leaving and you can kind of rattle your saber here and there, but unless you follow through on it, no one is going to believe you."

Chili's downfall, which also came at the expense of her romantic relationship with fellow newcomer Jimmy (Steven R. McQueen), was discouraging for the entire house. And even though those who tired helping her were those of her partner Brett and Dawson.

"You think you could have helped her out, but shes on this path of self-destruction," Olmstead said. "It got us some good stuff midway through the season as opposed as to waiting for a finale to have the character exit."

The firehouse has since filled the void left by Chili as her former beau Jimmy is now the paramedic and the firehouse has welcomed a new female firefighter in the form of Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo). However, Olmstead explains that it wasn't such an easy deisicion to write Chili out.

"It's hard," Olmstead says. "We liked the actress a lot and she did a great job."

You can catch Chicago Fire as they return tonight at 10/9c along with a new Chicago Med at 9/8c on NBC.

To Play and Love: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Goes to a Play"/"Kimmy Kidnaps Gretchen"




Kimmy Goes to a Play

In episode three, things take off again for Titus and Jacqueline as they try to find their new purpose in life and relationships.

For Titus, he's trying to find something to do with his money from his ex-wife. Kimmy advises him to put on a show about his life, and when that idea comes, it's not just about Titus but one of his past lives. His one-person show called "Kimono You Didn't" tells the tale of Murasaki, a sorrowful Japanese geisha.

He thought the play would be a hit when searching the internet, but when he clicked on a website, it turned out his play was hated. Hated by racial groups, Titus doesn't think he could do it, while Kimmy tries to help but gets a "Chandler message" from the group back.

"Chandler message" is what you call being excellent in a sarcastic way.

When Titus begins his show, everyone from the group boos, but it doesn't stop Titus at all and sings his song. After a minute, one of the members prevents everyone's boos. That one member accepted Titus and apologized for what they'd done. Even one member evaporated from thin air after apologizing.

Weird, right?

Meanwhile, Jacqueline's got her new apartment with certain items that'll help keep her rich friends from judging her. But when Mini comes in looking crazy as she always does, she shows Jacqueline that her ex-husband has already found a lady of his own. And that angers her to go out and find a rich man.

After looking at a fancy place, searching for a rich guy. Kimmy tries talking her down, which gives Jacqueline the idea to date her dog's massage therapist. After a day and another piece of advice from Kimmy, Jacqueline broke up with the massage therapist after spilling red wine on the expensive rug.

Seeing that she sees herself in him as she was with her ex.

It was another hilarious episode for Titus and Jacqueline. I enjoyed more of Titus' storyline a bit more than Jacqueline's. I couldn't believe how many past lives this guy has had, from a dog to a Japanese lady. And, of course, I couldn't get the best line from the episode: "Who's that Kimmy knocking on that door, eating pickle chicken on the hospital floor."

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.


Kimmy Kidnaps Gretchen

Can anyone change? That's what Kimmy asked Lillian about in this episode as not only her but Titus deals with it in this hilarious episode.

When Kimmy gets a call from Cyndee about a video, she has to see it. Kimmy runs to the library to see a video commercial for a cult, CosmetoloCruseuse, and she spots no other than Gretchen there as one of the members.
The e
Just before Kimmy tries to rescue Gretchen, the most adorable and brilliant video of Bunny and Kitty comes on. The video and the lyrics had me saying, " Drop off, please!!"

As Gretchen gets on the ship, she sees a sign with her name and follows it until Kimmy stops her and takes her out. Performing an intervention, Kimmy explains how bad it is to be in a cult but realizes that Gretchen has never been alone or decided what she wanted to do. So they went out to do whatever Gretchen wanted to do.

After some crazy stuff, from ice cream to pit bulls, taking a cop's gun, and even doing drugs with Time Square's Elmo, Kimmy stops it and later advises her to start her cult.

As for Titus, he's never really had a successful relationship. He has a lot of stuff from his exes, from clothes to passports and even a prosthetic arm. But when it comes to going out with Mikey, Titus thinks this might be another disastrous date, even for a first-time gay dater.

The date didn't go off right for Titus, but later on, it did as they talked about their favorite movie (The Lion King). The next day, Titus doesn't think the relationship is going anywhere and breaks it off on the phone after Mikey calls.

Lillian goes to talk to Mikey and explain to him about Titus, but he thinks that it's too much for him. But he comes back because he somehow forgot his tool that helped fix Titus and Kimmy's stove. But after Mikey and Titus talk, Titus kisses Mikey, and things look promising. And that broke Titus' streak of men not coming back.

 Thanks, Lillian!!

I thought that this episode was hilarious. I felt a bit of a reference to 30 Rock with the montage of what Gretchen wanted, from the dog to the gun and the scene with Elmo. There was a lot of character growth with Titus and for the previous couple of episodes as well.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch Season Two of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix right now.

The Return of Kimmy & Co.: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: "Kimmy Goes Roller Skating"/Kimmy Goes on a Playdate"


It was last year's best new satire. We can reenact the fist pump freeze frame from The Breakfast Club as Season Two of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is now available on Netflix.

"Kimmy Goes Roller Skating"

In the first episode of the season, we come to a Christmas party with everyone from Kimmy, Titus, Jacqueline, and even Mini. But soon, an incident comes, and we go back three months to where we follow our beloved characters.

Kimmy tries to move on after Dong gets married. Lillian tries to cheer her up with a skating party and goes to the store for some stuff, and who just so happens to be there...Dong. Kimmy and Dong talk for a little bit awkwardly. If Dong stays married for two years, he'll become an American citizen; the only issue is that they both still have feelings for one another.

Even Lillian invites Dong to their skating party with her former flame, Bobby (played by Fred Armisen).  Kimmy tries to move on but goes for one last time, and this time, it is at Dong's party where Dong's marriage officer is there to ensure they are a complete couple. Thank god she didn't. Kimmy and Dong kissed in the bathroom after some dead swordfish fell on her.

In the meantime, Titus faces legal issues with his wife, and he leaves her on the dance floor. When Kimmy talks to his wife, all she wants is an apology. But when the lawyer contacts them back, she owes Titus money instead because she tells everyone he is dead.

Also, we get to learn Titus' real name, Ronald Wilkerson. Kimmy hopes that Titus doesn't do the same thing as he did with his wife. She tries talking some sense but realizes that he won't after he walks towards Amtrak and apologizes and dances with his former wife.

And, of course, Jacqueline is back at home with her native family, but she doesn't seem quite to fit in. After switching from a smoking pipe to a viper and her parents asking her to do a traditional dance in the cornfield, she takes the hint that she needs to go back.

This episode never missed a beat, as it still had that odd humor. I thought that Kimmy, Titus, and Jacqueline had perfect storylines in this one. You can catch the rating down below, along with the second episode.

"Kimmy Goes on a Playdate"

In the second episode, Kimmy looks for a job at a Christmas store and gets the job as the helpful elf. Soon, Jacqueline comes crashing in front of her apartment and asks to stay with her and Titus for a few days.

Jacqueline thinks that having $12 million from the divorce is a bad thing for her reputation with other wealthy friends. She asked Kimmy to pick up her son, find her friend Deirdre, and set a play date. After Kimmy sets up the play date, she tells Jacqueline that it will be in her apartment, and the reaction from Jacqueline is like the Terminator busting through the walls.

Jacqueline acts like she has more than what she got from her husband and tries to play the rumors of her down. At one point, she, Kimmy, and her son get in a car, escape from the other side, and head towards the bus.

She explains to Kimmy that she wants to do right and make a charity to get back with her family. Kimmy thinks you have to make them believe you are rich by playing with them, like when Jacqueline bought a painting at an auction. That also helped with Jaqueline's stepdaughter, who didn't want to leave the house.

While that was going on, Titus came to the realization that he had way too many clothes in his closet after they fell apart. After trying to give them to Goodwill, he returned them after folks made fun of him. Hey, the shorts that are longer than pants are my kind of style!!!

After he throws his clothes in the dump, someone picks them up, and he follows them to a construction worker's truck, Mike, who is the guy who hit on Kimmy and Titus last season. Mike tells Titus that he's gay but hasn't come out yet due to the guys he's working with, but he asks Titus for a date.

I thought this was another fantastic episode. I loved the references from the Ninja Turtles on who wrote that, and a photo of Chuck Lorrie shows up. I thought that this was another great Titus and Jacqueline episode. I still believe that those shorts longer than pants could catch on. I'm not ashamed to say it.

Overall, I give "Kimmy Goes Roller Skating" a 9/10 and "Kimmy Goes on a Playdate" a 9/10.

You can catch Season Two of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, available now on Netflix.

The Ringing of the Bells: The Blacklist "Mr. Solomon " (No. 38)"/ "Mr. Solomon: Concussion"




Mr. Solomon (No. 38) 

There's a wedding in the air for Liz and Tom, but those church bells won't be the only ones ringing in this episode.

As Solomon is being transferred to another place, it turns out that he's about to get taken out from his previous employer. But that's until gunshots go off, and a mysterious car comes and takes Solomon.

As Solomon is on the loose, he plans to steal a nuclear weapon from the government. Red informs Liz about it and also cancels the wedding. Of course, you know that wasn't going to happen, as she tells Cooper and the team about it and lets them go while she and Tom get prepared for their big day

After Solomon and the team take the weapon, Ressler and the team spot where they are at a motel. As they try to ambush Solomon's counterpart, they too get ambushed with their squad but catch the counterpart as she is in a jeep but having trouble getting the car to start.

Ressler talks to the suspect, but the suspect informs him about the military's information of the decay of the weapon travels. That worried the army, and they gave her anything she wanted for whatever information she gave them.

Tom gets a surprise visit not only from his ex but from The Major as well. But it didn't last as Tom's ex shot The Major and had him clean it up.

As things get moving for the wedding, Cooper weds the couple, Samar and Aram, the bride's maid and DJ. I would hire Aram to be the DJ for my wedding. And, of course, Red tries to convince her to cancel the wedding. That led him and Dembe to leave, but that gave Red something to think about when it came to that jeep the suspect was trying to escape.

As soon as Red saw the jeep and was told that it ran fine, he called Ressler as they were about to detain the bomb that wasn't there. Red tells him Solomon is after Liz and needs to get there as quickly as possible.

The one moment from this episode that I truly love is when Red walks into the chapel with his gun and walks towards Liz and Tom, almost like it was a father saying, " I've eject!"

Solomon gets there, and he is about to set foot. Everyone takes cover, and Solomon and Red have a nice chat to hand to Liz. The one thing that Red and Tom can agree on is not to give her up. As things get heated, guns are blazing, Ressler makes his move, and soon, Liz and Tom rush out and drive away in the wedding car.

Liz looks back, looking like one of those runaway brides,  and they drive off.

"Mr. Solomon: Concussion"

When they say a bombshell, they mean there will be one. HOLY CRAP!!!

The episode picks off as Tom and Liz drive away. Red and the team are still at the church fighting back, but soon Solomon and his team leave to find Liz.

We see that Solomon's new employer or helper, which, for now, I call "God's Eye," helps Solomon track and give direction.

Solomon and the team find Liz and Tom and try to stop them. Watching a pregnant Liz shooting at Solomon's car reminds me of Bonnie and Clyde. They crash into a moving truck but escape before Solomon arrives.

Liz and Tom walk into a nursing home and hide for now, and after they dodge Solomon, things go wrong for Liz as she starts bleeding and rushes to the hospital. Red calls, asking where they are, and tells Liz he can't protect her and everyone else in that hospital. They leave just in time.

Things get complicated for the baby, and Liz has to have an emergency C-section. The baby is born, a girl, but at first, doesn't breathe but soon recovers and screams like hell. The happy parents take it all in, and then Red comes in. Liz isn't happy and wants him out; Mr. Kaplan tells Red that she'll talk to her.

But soon, Liz isn't doing well and is put on a by-pap machine for breathing. The doctor would need a lot of stuff, and Kaplan provided it, but it wasn't enough, and they needed to rush her to the hospital. Red comes up with a plan to distract Solomon, which it does for a short time, but catches Red and them.

Guns are blazing, and Red moves towards the back with the doctor and Liz. Things aren't looking good at all. Liz goes into cardiac arrest.

Soon, Ressler and the team get there, Solomon escapes (see him in the spinoff), and Ressler and Dembe head towards the van when they see the bombshell of the year...Liz is dead. The doctor had to call it, and we see the most emotional image and scene as Red holds her hand and lies near her. Ressler tells everyone to move back. Kaplan tells Red that he needs to leave.

Red gets out, Ressler puts his jacket over him, and Red tells Kaplan that he doesn't want Liz at the morgue.

We see Ressler walking Red towards the car in a slow fashion. As he gets to the car door, he faints, and Dembe catches him. That look that Spader gave through that scene was remarkable.

The music playing was so eerily and haunting but sweet in a way. The reaction from Cooper, Aram, and even Samar is just heartbreaking. Even when Kaplan pulled and closed the sheet over Liz and walked her toward the van, I burst into tears.

And at the end, we see Tom and Red discussing what to do next. I'm sure Tom will be a great father once he gets the hang of it. That baby is so cute.

Now, where we go from here, I have no idea. But one thing is for sure: I can't wait to see how Red deals with this next week. Is Liz alive or dead? I can't tell, and to keep in mind that this is The Blacklist, and she did die in between scenes.

I thought it was going to be the baby for some reason. I didn't expect Liz to die. I played so much with my emotions that I haven't felt like this since Shay was killed in the season 3 premiere of Chicago Fire.

The first episode brought the suspense, while the second brought us not only suspense but also emotion as well.

Overall, I give each a 9.5/10.

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

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows | Trailer #2 | Paramoun...

The latest new trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been released and it looks totally rad!!! 

The story dives int the ooze that help made the turtles and Beepbob and Rocksteady. But if the turtles tied it, they would turn human and it looks like Ralph is the only one who wants to turn human. 

Hell, I can't wait for this film. Looks like they dive right into the television series with the colorful tone than the previous film. 

TMNT Out of the Shadows comes out on June 8th.
