The Father Committing the Deadliest Sin: Chicago PD: "Start Digging" Season Finale


The phrase I love to use for any season finale that like this is would be "It's the season finale where all hell is breaking loose." That was quote for the season four finale of ER during the final episode of Seinfeld back in 1998. For this season finale, it might as well be that but a 2.0 version.

For the last few episodes, Voight's been hearing that his son, Justin, has been in Chicago, without him knowing about it. Now we jump to Voight's grandson's first birthday with Justin, his wife and Erin there. Voight gives the kid an old child's toy of Justin that he has kept. Later on they they talked about his visiting in town without seeing him and Justin responds saying that it's nothing to get worked about.

Soon, Voight and Erin get a call of a female gunshot to the head and tied up with barbwire in the trunk of a car. They find the victim's address and heads over there but no one was home until a sitter came to them with the victim's son.

During the investigation, they found that the victim was only helping out home robbers of homes. As they dig in dipper they found a car that matches one of the suspects that they are looking for and as Erin and Voight head out there, what they find wasn't the suspect at all, but as they opened the trunk, it was Justin, in the same as the previous victim. Boy did Voight turn upset unlike any other.

Erin and Voight get Justin to Med where things don't look good. Voight told Erin that he wants everyone back at the station, in a voice that I haven't seen him since he and Casey first met. Just before Voight talked, Antonio tells everyone that if they feel uncomfortable just tell him and he'll handle it. Voight overhears and gives a speech that if anyone doesn't feel that they can't pull a 110 percent than take a couple of days vacation.

Everyone's all in and gets word to their CI that they're money for the whereabouts of the suspect that shot Justin. Word from someone that the suspect has a brother and they unit goes out and takes him. Voight soon gets the whereabouts of the suspect and gives it to the unit for them to get, but by the time they got there the place was empty and no one was there. When Erin gets word, she knows what's really going on, Voight is taken the guy for himself.

Voight, who's at his confession spot in an abandoned factory, awaits his retired buddies for the drop off of the suspect. He takes him and drags him to one spot and cuts him free and tells him to start digging a hole. He starts digging and tells him all this bullshit stuff that Voight doesn't buy it. Anything he tells Voight, Voight replies to him to keep digging.

Erin gets there and tries to talk  Voight out of it but when Voight tell Erin to go back, the look on his face was unlike we have ever seen. The eyes, the expression, Voight was gone and knows the one thing that needs to be done. Erin gets back to the car and drives off in tears. Voight hears one more thing from the suspect and as he does, he walks towards him and without seeing what happen, we hear a gun shot as Erin is still driving.

Voight fills the hole/grave back up with dirt and all is done. I mention this on twitter during the episode that it seems the father has to commit the deadliest sins.  

This episode was flat-out amazing. This was one of Jason Beghe's best performance so far. He and the writers have really take Voight to a whole new level that maybe he'll have to suffer from this or not in the next season. This was all Beghe's episode along with a few good performances from the supporting cast.

Also not to forget, Roman has left the CPD and heading to San Diego. Last week's episode he asked Burgess to go with him but tells her that she should stay instead. Hey maybe there's a chance for Burgess and Ruzek to get back?

After the season finale, TVLine has learned that Brian Geraghty won't be returning for Season 4 of Chicago PD.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10 and this season a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago PD when the show returns in the fall Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

A Twist for the Heart: The Blacklist "Alexander Kirk (The Conclusion)




Everything has been leading to this episode, this very season finale that not only had so much emotion but humor and never to mention the very twist that only The Blacklist can bring to this very finale.

Red's plan is just as plan sight as his hat, take out Alexander Kirk and to do so he had Senator Diaz to indict him for questioning. Kirk sees the news coverage and doesn't take the bait. That's until Red has his team and FBI to switch illegal oil onto Kirk's company gas truck.

That my friend was one of many hilarious moments. As Red orders hot dogs that takes about 10 minutes or so, he's distracting the trucker as Tom and team switches the trucker's tank with the tank of oil.

As things went to plan, Red and Cooper had a chat about that Red's gonna kill Kirk. And gave this one of the most beautiful speeches in the three seasons of the show. So good that it felt like a finale.

The plan does work until Keen slips way from Kaplan and takes off on a airplane to Cuba. Kirk has a guy, who is a remembrance to Javier Bardem's character in "No Country for Old Men," following Tom and the baby. Follows him towards Cuba and tell Kirk about it. As Kirk's plane lands in the U.S., he heads to Cuba while his lawyer takes on the questions with the Senators.

That moment when Kirk wasn't there surprised Red as he was going shoot him in the head. Red calls Aram about it and he later finds that Kirk left on the plane to Cuba. While with Aram on, he asked what plane and company that Keen took.

As Red got the name of the company, he heads towards the owner, a friend, and slaps him with his own golf club. The guy thought that Red had ordered the plane, which he didn't, and told that Kaplan was the one who told him.

Kaplan betrays Red. It wasn't a pretty site to see when Red and Kaplan had a talk. He tells her that Kirk is on his way to Cuba and that Keen and Agnus aren't safe, until she responded with and someone else.

Keen gets to Cuba and heads towards a very nice place. He walks in with Agnus and as the camera cuts to the white curtains, who other than Liz pops out. Just to let all of you know I was still in shock, even though with all the talk about she's alive and all.  The three are together for now.

Red and Kaplan are on the plane and Red ask her how this all happen. Kaplan explained that she had to do it to protect her, that she and the baby wasn't protected under him. She talked to the doctor and he had a way to make things look like she was in need of an emergency. He gives her a dose to have her stop breathe for two minutes and after she was taken away in a body bag, he relived her.

My god Kaplan! My god!! She broke his heart. She broke my heart too.

Tom comes back from the store and sees the window broken. He looks around and finds a man in the baby room and kicks the crap out of him until  the big guy knocks him out.

As Red and Kaplan get there, the place is empty. There's broken glass and bottles, there was no sign of anyone. Red comes up to Kaplan with his hands and gun on her head and ask her what should he do with her. In a way, it felt like that scene from The Godfather Part II where Michael grabs Fredo.

In the final scene of the episode, Liz is in an empty room tied to a chair. Kirk comes out and walks towards her and the only thing she's asking is where is her baby and Tom and are they safe. Kirk calls Liz by her real name and tells her that she knows him. He tells her that he is her father. SHOCKING TWIST!!!

What a great finale this turned out to be. IT had enough humor, along with so many twist and emotional turns that writing this took me a day and a half to grab my thoughts together.

This was literally the best season finale that the series has done throughout it's run. The executive producers and writers have done a splendid job that not only answering some questions there's a whole lot more that is asked. Spader, Lennix and Klattenhoff gives a great performance.

I couldn't get those scenes with Red and Cooper along with Red and Ressler out of my head. I kept watching those scenes that still was so beautifully performed as well. It's great to see Megan Boone, because let's face it, it's not The Blacklist without Liz and Red together.  It's so great to see her once again.

I give this episode a 9.5/10. And overall the season a 9.5/10.

What did you think of The Blacklist season finale? Was it good? Was it bad? How excited are you for next season? Any thoughts?

The Blacklist returns this fall same night, new time: Thursdays at 10/9c. It's part of a great new line with with Superstore, The Good Place, Chicago Med.

The Great Indoors - First Look




Coming to CBS this fall a new comedy starring Joel McHale ("The Soup" and "Community"), who's a renowned adventure reporter for an outdoor magazine who must adapt to the times when he becomes the desk-bound boss to a group of millennials in the digital department of the publication.

Jack (McHale) has led a thrilling "outdoorsy" life exploring the edges of the earth while chronicling his adventures for Outdoor Limits. But his globe-trotting days end when the magazine's charismatic founder and outdoor legend, Roland (Stephen Fry), announces the publication's move to web-only and assigns Jack to supervise their online team of "journalists."

Jack's eager 20-something colleagues include Clark (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a tech nerd who knows everything about surviving on Mars and a zombie apocalypse; Emma (Christine Ko), their social media expert who views Jack as the uman version of dial-up; and Mason (Shaun Brown), a hipster-lumberjack who hasn't spent any actual time outside.

Jack reports to Roland's daughter, Brooke (Susannah Fielding), an ex-flame who caters to the sensitive staffers by giving them all throphies just for working hard. Jack's best friend, Eddie (Chris Williams), runs the local dive bar that's popular with the younger set and helps Jack "decode" his co-workers. Jack is baffled by the world of click-bait and listicles, but if he's patient, he may be able to show these kids that the outside world is much more than something on a screen... if he doesn't beat them with their selfie-sticks first.

Mike Gibbons, Christ Harris and multiple Emmy Award winner Andy Ackerman are executive prodcers for CBS Television Studios. Ackerman directed the pilot.

Get a first look of "The Great Indoors."

Remembering the Good Times: Chicago PD "She's Got Us"




When the Intelligence Unit takes on the murder of a family, the only witness is the family's youngest child. Can the team find the murderer in time?

With Roman off duty, probably Burgess too, Erin and Jay take on some overtime patrolling the streets until they get a call of gunshots at home. As they get there, they see a bloody mess. They search until they see a body move like a little girl, all covered in blood. She was underneath her sister, and as she stood, she fainted.

Voight and the team get there to have a look as Erin goes with the little girl known as Polly. The team goes from a support cult group, Horizon, to interviewing a man who knew the victim by advising him to go to Horizon.

As Erin waits to talk to Polly, Jay brings her some clothes and, to keep her mind off the case speaks about apartments. Jay needs a lot of help if he enjoys having a toilet next to the stove.

Soon, Erin gets called by a nurse that Polly has gone off. She runs over there, tries to calm her down, and puts the knife on the floor. As soon as she does, the nurse comes in, drugs her, and takes her to her room under the order of Dr. Charles. And you know that Erin was upset about it, even with the no sleeping and waiting to talk to her.

Charles finally lets Erin interview Polly. When she does, Polly tells her about the house and that she knows the man because she's seen him at the cabin. Erin looks for the cabin Polly is talking about, and when she finds the right one, she, Polly, and Jay head over there.

It seems that Voight and Co. are having a little bit more fun than Erin and Jay. They get a new suspect, who happens to be a robber at the time of the murders. They get the guy in a very relaxed fashion with Al, and Hank, who's wearing cool sunglasses, spots him and puts him in the van back to the House. The guy's in the cage, and Voight and Al bring in a battery with plugs to scare the man. But soon, he gives up someone that the team has met, who owns $800.

So they talk to Gerald, whom they met before. He wasn't home but found a gun in his room that happened to be his dad. As Gerald returns home, he runs off but gets knocked down by Atwater. They interview him, and he convinces Voight and Ruzek that he didn't do it and tells them to check that the gun hasn't been used.

As Erin and Jay get to the cabin, the girl looks around and starts remembering the event that she saw the man. They showed her some photos of some suspects, but none of them were. She tells them he was older with a beard and a red truck with no top.

At the House, the team found a 911 call made twice with someone describing the red truck and only giving three numbers off the license plates. Mouse found footage, saw the truck, and ran the numbers.

They find where the suspect is, but by the time they get close to the house, the suspect starts shooting at them. Failed to talk him down, they smoked him out, and Dawson took him down, with Voight getting the last kick to the face.

The suspect was a friend of the victim, who happened to owe him money, but the victim didn't give him any. But instead, he gives him a pamphlet on Horizon.

As soon as they got him, Erin showed the photo of him to Polly and told her that he was the guy. Polly and Erin talk before her aunt and uncle get there, talking about moving to St. Louis and how Polly enjoys traveling. It's one of those heartwarming/heartbreaking moments you can't turn away.

In the meantime, during this episode, Roman has been doing physical therapy and has surgery to get the leftover bullets out of his neck. Well, the department declined to do that when the doctor saw that it was near the spine, which would cause much damage afterward. That doesn't sit well with Roman, and decides to ask Burgess if she would go with him to San Diego, CA. She hasn't answered him, but I assume she will in next week's episode.

This episode was terrific. I can never get enough scenes with Voight and Al or Voight and the suspects. It's like watching theatre. I loved the moments that Erin and Jay got in this episode, from talking about apartments to even the toilet near the stove; it was a hoot. I want more and more of their relationship to grow.

Next week's episode is the season finale when Voight and Erin find someone they know in the trunk of a car. Voight goes out of his way to stop and kill whoever has done whatever to his son. It's the season finale, where all hell will be breaking loose. Here's a promo.  

You can catch the season finale of Chicago PD next Wednesday night at 10/9c on NBC.

Weatherly stars as Dr. JAson Bull in a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, the founder of one of the most prolific trail consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick.

Bull employs an enviable team of experts at Trail Analysis Corporation to shape successful narratices down to the very last detail. They include his quick-witted brother-in-law Benny Colon (Freddy Rodriguez), who plays a defense attorney in mock trails; Marissa Morgan (Geneva Carr), a cutting-edge neurolinguistics expert from the Department of Homeland Security; former NYPD detective Danny James (Jaime Lee Kirchner), the firm's tough but relatable investigator; haughty millennial hacker Cable McCrory (Annabelle Attanasio), who is responsible for gathering cyber intelligence; and Chuck Palmer (Chris Jackson), a fashion-conscious stylist and former ALL-America lineman who fine tunes clients' appearances for trail.

Kevin's retirement plans consist of chilling with his family and having epic adventures with fellow retirees Goody (Leonard Earl Howze), his former partner and close friend, and Duffy (Lenny Venito), his oldest pal, as well as his brother Kyle (Gary Valentine), a fireman whose closet encounter with a blaze would be a grease fire in the firehouse kitchen.

"Together We Make an Incredible Family:" Chicago Fire "Superhero" Season Finale




In this season finale, will Dawson be approved to adopt Louie? Can Casey decide what's essential in his life, politics, or family?  And will there be a showdown between the chief and the paramedic? There are a lot of sparks in this finale. Let's recap.

With a second chance to adopt Louie, she needs to find her place so the place can get inspected and approved. Casey offers, but that doesn't seem to be what Dawson wants if he's offering. She finds this lovely place a bit over budget, but she takes it. But later, the offer falls through and goes to the landlord's daughter.

So Dawson took up Herrmann's offer of the place upstairs of the garage. When visiting the joint, it needs more than just a fixer-upper. So, with a team from 51 over to help, they put their love and soul into assisting Dawson to improve the place just in time when the inspector arrived. Things may not go as planned, but when Dawson tells him how much love was given to put in this place, it is the same that Louie will get if she's approved.

Let's jump to Casey briefly as he goes to Springfield to get the big guys on his side. The only way to is to talk and have a drink or three. Susan pushes him through and through with meeting a lot of politicians. And just when it was over, they talked for a bit of the fun he had had. Soon, she moves in, kisses him, and walks away, leaving a napkin with her room number on. Now, will Casey meet her or not? I'll hold that to the end.

Jimmy has been through a lot since the death of his brother. We saw him very emotional and full of anger at Bowden. There were a few times both of them met, and I felt chills down my spine when I thought that Jimmy was going to give it to Bowden (yelling at him mostly). Jimmy's brother's squad didn't help with the cause either, as they blame Bowden, too.

But after Bowden tells him about giving him his brother's badge number, things did let go, and I think Jimmy found some closure. We see that when Jimmy confronts his sister-in-law with his brother's stuff from the firehouse and tells her that it wasn't Bowden's fault and that his brother did what he thought was right. He died as a hero.

Let's jump into Stella and Kelly as their relationship seems on the go, but one person keeps bumping into them...Stella's ex-boyfriend Grant. It's over to come back, please. It has been a headache to watch. I wanted Severide to tell him straight. When Stella gets a text that doesn't make sense, she calls him, and he sounds crazy. They find him in the park and take him to me for an overdose. Kept at Med, Stella tells him it's over, and he gives it to her, yelling at her and pleading for her to return as she walks away. Will this be the last of him? Find out soon.

After last week's event, Bowden had everyone writing a letter to their loved ones with any regrets or messages. Dawson had a hard time writing one because she was focused on Louie. After a call, when Dawson is hanging off a burning building, she returns to the firehouse, and a surprise comes as it is Louie. After a couple of hours with him and Louie is napping, she finally writes the letter to Louie about how many changes she had to go through and how looking at him was all worth it.

We listen to her as she writes the letter, and we see Casey thinking about going upstairs to Susan. As we see him walking up the stairs, the only thing I had in mind was to slap him if he was at Susan's door, but my friend fell through as he was at Dawson's door. There they hug, and the waterworks come for me as I want to hug them, too.

But the episode didn't end on a happy note, and why wouldn't it? As Stella and Severide enter her apartment, the two exchange kisses and head for the bed. Dr. Charles sees that Grant isn't in his room, and as he calls Stella, her phone vibrates, and we see Grant sitting in the chair in the living room with a knife, listening to the two in the bedroom. HOLY CRAP!!!!

My god, it has been one hell of a season. First, this felt like more of a finale, like season one, than the other seasons. It was still good, and I loved every minute of it. Overall, for the season, I think you have to give credit where credit is due, as this season has been Monica Raymund's best performance, as we see Dawson gone through so much this year. Please give her an Emmy!!!!

Season Five can't get here any sooner, and I hope it'll start in September instead of the middle of October. I hope!!!

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10 and the season a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire as it'll return in the fall on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Ghostbusters Official Trailer #2 (2016) - Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy...




Will I answer the call to see it? HELL YEAH!!!!

I'm so excited to see this film. I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan. With all the haters hating on it, they're gonna eat their words come July 15th. This isn't a reboot, the original cast is in the damn film so why would this be some reboot if they're in it?

House of Lies Cancelled by Showtime




The writing was on the wall and the truth finally came down today.

Showtime has announced that House of Lies will come to an end after the show's current fifth season. The Cuba-set series finale will air Sunday, June 12th at 9/8c.

Showtime President David Nevins said in a statement, "House of Lies is a comedy that has frequently been ahead of the curve. Over the course of its five seasons, it has tackled such hot-button topics as gender identity, wealth inequality, white privilege, police brutality, interracial relationships, and code-switching with honesty and a biting sense of humor. (Series creator Matthew Carnahan and Don Cheadle have been dream partners and impeccable leaders. The core cast of Don, Kristen, Ben and Josh are one of the best comedy teams on television. They have brought the series to an incredibly satisfying conclusion with this historic final episode shot in Cuba."

Carnahan added, "Creating and running House of Lies has been a true dream gig, a creative apotheosis. Working with the remarkable team that Jessika Borsiczcky, David Walpert and I were allowed to put together, along with the incredible cast and crew, coming to work every day was a joy. Getting to work with heroes like Don Cheadle, Kristen Bell and Glynn Turman, breaking out amazing performers like Dawn Olivieri and the shockingly funny Josh Lawson; seeing Ben Schwartz, already so well-known as a comedic actor doing a deep-dive into really complex work; watching great actors like Matt Damon be willing to skewer versions of themselves; and then going out on the high note that is shooting in Cuba - these are all the kinds of reasons I got into this business in the first place."

I mention that the writing was one the wall. I was wondering after news was out that Kristen Bell was starring in a new series with Ted Danson "The Good Place." That just got picked up and is schedule for Thursday nights this fall on NBC right after Superstore.

Twist, Turns & Death: Blindspot "If Love A Rebel, Death Will Render"


This is the episode before the season finale and boy did this leave us wanting so badly to see the finale.

We jump into the moment with Jane telling Oscar how they had her betraying Mayfair and getting her arrested. With in that moment, Sophia pops up and both her and Oscar repeat what Jane had to them before losing her memory. And from that moment we jump two weeks ahead.

A mysterious man runs to a government building and drops off a bag, which inside was a baby. But this baby isn't just a regular baby, this kid has a tattoo on it's wrist that Jane has. Kurt and team pick up the case but they go under the temporary director (Dylan Baker) til he finds a replacement. The reason why is because he's told Kurt that the Jane Doe project is done.

So Kurt and team look into the baby and see that it's DNA is connected to someone, who happens to be the son of the former Presidential candidate, where him and his wife have a sick son. After getting in trouble, Kurt and team jump back on the case but Jane is out of the FBI.

Jane goes to the child protection services where she knows two people standing near the door and a woman goes through security. Jane follows the two guys to the elevators and soon kicks their butts. But she's too late as the baby was taken from that woman.

Kurt than has the wife of the suspect to come in and tell them anything that could help them. She tells Kurt that there's this company that's experimenting by using genetics and babies. They were going to use a baby to help their son with his illness.

Jane gets to the company before Kurt and soon all hell breaks loose when Kurt and team get there. Jane fights off that woman and shocks the hell out of her with a defibrillator and shocks herself too.

Later the director wasn't to happy but was accepts that they solved the case. Jane had to turn in her badge and as she goes to her locker her and Kurt have a nice talk and they kiss (YES!!). As soon as they were going to walk down to the victory celebration, Kurt gets a call from his father's nurse as he was yelling out his name.

Kurt get there and his father apologies and tells him about a shed. That there's a body under there and he gives the name Taylor. And Kurt is shocked as probably so are we. So Jane might not be Taylor Shaw at all.

Throughout the episode Mayfair has done her own investigation. She figures out that set up with Alexandra from Sophia. She gets Sophia's number and has Reade and Zapata look into it. As we get to the end of the episode, Jane is alone in the building and hears the door open, think that it was Oscar. Nope, it was Mayfair and soon she starts asking questions and points a gun at Jane. But Oscar shoots Mayfair and tries to get Jane out of there but wouldn't. She tries to help Mayfair but she tries to take her out but fails. Mayfair told Jane that Kurt is going to be so surprised while Jane is crying and shocked.

This was so good of an episode. So many shocks and turns that opens up to probably one hell of a season finale. I didn't think that the case wasn't gonna be a big one even thought there were babies involved. But it made a very entertaining for an hour. The writing was sweet and give performances from Alexander and Sanders and Jean-Baptiste.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Note: Blindspot will be back in the fall on a new night and time, Wednesdays at 8/7c.

CBS Renews Code Black, Beyond Borders and Odd Couple.






As the Upfronts are underway, CBS has winnow i's bubble show list for those that get renewal and cancelled.

CBS has announced that Code Black, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders are renewed for a second season and also renewed The Odd Couple for a third season.

Code Black and Beyond Borders have performed not just in the ratings but creatively and performance as well.

Expect to see some changes come season two for Code Black with new characters and such.

The Odd Couple have performed both Thursday and Monday nights  well and found it's stride.

I'm guessing CBS will be milking the Friends mini-reunion when Matt LeBlanc's new series premieres.

As for popping the bubble, CBS announced that Rush Hour will not get a second season. Rebooting a film to television isn't going well but that won't stop networks trying from FOX's Lethal Weapon.
