Weekend Catch Up Pt 9: Comedy Premiere and Drama Finales

Here's this week's Weekend Catch Up with two finales and a premiere of a new show.


The Carmichael Show: "Pilot"/"Protest" 

It's the latest new comedy from NBC this summer, The Carmichael Show brings a spiced up comedy that is like All in the Family and The Cosby Show put together. In it's one hour premiere, the show turns out to be hilarious from the start.

The show is about Jerrod Carmichael and his life with his girlfriend and his family. The show makes fun in a conversational way of issues from religion to race and marriage to politics. It takes light of the issue but also takes some seriousness too.

Jerrod is hilarious along with David Alan Grier and Loretta Devine as his parents that remind me of The Bunkers and the Barones in a way.

The is hilarious with some hysterical jokes and the performance. I would have to say this series might be funnier than Mr. Robinson.

You can catch The Carmichael Show Wednesday nights at 9/8c after the LIVE America's Got Talent Results on NBC.

Suits "Faith" Summer Finale

In the summer finale of Suits, someone is about to leave but who would that be and will they go quietly?

As an emergency meeting to remove Jessica from the firm, Louis and Jessica try one last effort to get support. But Louis goes to the big problem and makes a threat but that back fired with two threats of the guy's own one being sued and the other taking over his sister's company after buying it.

Harvey couldn't be found as Jessica was desperate for his help. But he was with his therapist discussing the situation and why he couldn't back down. We get a back story to his past with his father and mother and the situation that his mother has caused on the family.

It kind of left a bad taste to his mouth. After the session, Harvey makes it back to the meeting before the votes even started. He makes a statement about how a termination is in order and talked about how this firm has been a real family with Jessica in control.

That speech worked and saved Jessica from being dismissed.

As for Mike, he had to face his demons back at home. We get the back story of the moment his mother and father died in a car accident. He was never the same after, going to catholic school and becoming a real trouble maker.    

He goes back to the school and talks to the father that still there when he went. Wanted to ask for advice but got a real life lesson when he realized that he should make a fresh new start and that's what he did.
He resigning from the firm and told Harvey first. That could have been the feel good moment of the episode, with them talking and hugging it out.

As Mike tells Rachel of his resigning, as soon as he packed all his stuff, he then gets arrested for fraud and is taken away. I'm surprised that Rachel was just standing there from that time like a deer in the headlights.

I should probably say that there were two people that were leaving. As Jessica thanks Harvey, he gave her another surprise that he too is resigning.      

This was a real turner for the show, now that Mike is no longer with the firm and arrested. Who turned him in? I've never seen Harvey sacrifice to anything until now to save someone from the job.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10. The summer finale was very good and Harvey and Mike had the best story lines in this episode.

Suits will return this winter on USA Network.


Hannibal: "The Wrath of the Lamb" series finale 


Drop the mic!! The series finale of Hannibal literally dropped the mic.

As the Red Dragon confronts his darling "girlfriend" of who he is. He plays with her mind by feeling his chest, removing the key, walking down to the door and opening the door. He comes through the front door and has her go back to the bedroom.

He plays with her mind, thinking that he shot himself in the head, but that's not at all true as Will gets a visit from the Dragon himself.

Will has a plan to get the Dragon and that was to release Hannibal as bait. The bait was set but not in any terms of the Dragon's wanting as he ambushed the police and release Hannibal. Hannibal takes Will to his get-away house.

There Will and Hannibal have a drink but shots are fired hitting both Lecter and the bottle of wine (sad).
The Dragon who look like was going to kill Hannibal, he turns the attacks Will by stabbing him in the face with a knife.

Right there, become one of the most epic fights I've seen on television. Will and Hannibal taking down the Red Dragon. There were a few moments where I thought that they couldn't take him but after slicing and dicing they manage to take the Dragon down.

And after seem like a Thelma and Louise moment when Hannibal and Will hugged and leaned over the cliff ending it with a scene shot from the cliff and the song "Love Crime" by Siouxsie Sioux. It was so beautiful and eerie that went so along with not only that scene but the show itself.

As for other characters, Bloom and her wife took their son to another place to get away from things. I don't think that she will ever be happy but this might come close to being as happy as she can get. And for Fredrick, the poor man is getting skin graphs, but nothing else for him.

Overall, I give this finale a perfect 10/10. It was beautiful, it was remarkable, it was all-in-all the best episode that felt so much like a ending finale.

Plus, the post-credit was remarkable too. Bedelia is seen at the dinner table with a meal that was yet to be served. It turns out that the main course is a leg but it was until we see a shot of her and that she lost her left leg. Did she do it to herself? Is Hannibal still alive? I couldn't get enough of that scene.

Weekend Catch Up Pt.8


Here's another edition of the weekend catch-up.

Suits: "Uninvited Guests"

The 
In this week's episode, things could take a turn for the worst for not just Rachel and Mike but for Jessica and the firm.

With Mike and Rachel's wedding still in the planning, Rachel's mother has some ideas and dates for the ceremony. But when she shows Rachel the list of who's invited, it puts her on the defensive and to protect Mike from his secret.

Of course, there's always an argument between mother and daughter, but the mother wants to give what her daughter always dreamed of. I find it a perfect story this wedding might not happen. This is when Mike and Rachel finally talk and discuss it after Mike has spoken to her mother about this situation. But they love each other, and it looks like they're still in the process.

Meanwhile, Harvey apologizes for his action towards Louis as the partners will vote to either not suspend or to suspend Harvey. It was split, and Harvey stayed. And well, hell's lazing when Jack mentions that Daniel Hardman has made a deal to take back his firm.

It draws both Harvey and Mike to take care of this, and with Mike's ideas, one shitty and the other brilliant (something he's been doing to Harvey for a long time). They stop the bleeding of Daniel from coming back, but it just puts more and more pressure on Harvey and Jessica.

Harvey talks to Charles, who's in prison, trying to scare him, but it doesn't work. For this to stop, Charles wants Harvey to resign from the firm. As for Jessica, she double-crossed Jack, thinking he would be a partner in the firm, but not quite. It turned into a heated match of words. Jessica is never afraid, but she should be when Jack votes for her to leave.

This episode leaves up to a perfect season finale. This episode had plenty of drama carrying from last week's episode.  There's no doubt that things will happen. Things are differently going to change. Will Jessica be voted out? Harvey Quit?

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch the season finale of Suits Wednesday night at 9/8c on USA.

Mr. Robot: "eps1.8m1rr0r1ng.qt"

Last week's episode was jaw-dropping. This week's episode was yet another.

So, in this case, Mr. Robot is Elliot! Holy Shit!!

This episode had some backstory when Mr. Robot had an electronic store called "Mr. Robot." And when a customer comes, he says his kid took $40. Robot doesn't take this crap and tells the guy to leave. It was then that he called out his son, Elliot.

Of course, Elliot has been freaking out since he kissed his sister Angela. So, Elliot has been talking with his dad, going from his place to his old childhood home. He was thinking that we saw Elliot push Mr. Robot through the window. We see them walking to the cemetery, where they stop at a grave, and Robot sits down, but just before, he tells him that he loves Elliot and that they're trying to take him away from him. From then on, it was getting too freaky until Darlene and Angela found him, and soon, Robot was nowhere to go.

Elliot freaks out and soon realizes that he's Mr. Robot.

In the meantime, Tyrell is a father and soon gets fired. How interesting is that when joy comes to you, and soon it's taken away?

Soon, Tyrell goes to Elliot's apartment and talks to him about what has been happening with the hacking and all. Also, he killed his neighbor and had discussions about that. So, Elliot shows Tyrell the place where everything has been happening and tells him that he's the one who's been doing it.

It seems like Tyrell wants to help Elliot and get revenge from Evil Crop for his firing. I guess Tyrell was right in the pilot that they'll be working with Elliot in the future.

I enjoyed this episode. This show is a lot different from any other television show this summer. Some so many twists and turns keep me interested and wanting to watch more. I think that something big is coming, and when that happens to Elliot, it will be something he can't stop.

I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch the season finale of Mr. Robot on Wednesday night at 10/9c on USA.


Aquarius:  "Old Ego Is a Too Much Thing"

In the season finale of "Aquarius," Ken and Hal return to Charlie for help. Hodiak tries to deal with his son's service records, and life and death come into play.

Ken gets into such deep stuff that involves a dead girl. He goes to Hal's place and tells him that his girl wasn't there that night, so he had to settle with this girl. Suddenly, things go wrong, and he leaves the body at Charlie's place, which isn't a good idea because Charlie will use it as leverage for both of them.  We see a flashback of both guys in 1959 when this incident happened, and Charlie made Hal kill the girl.

Hodiak tries to save his son from his actions of telling the truth about the war. Arranging a meeting with an officer with a good enough deal, his son goes to LA Times and soon gets arrested and taken away.

Meanwhile, a case breaks, and he and Shafe go to the suspect's home, where guns are a blazing. Hoak took one of the suspects who was caught and used him to stop his brother from shooting, for which he shot him a couple of times. Then Hodiak tackles and fights with him until he breaks the guy's neck.

Shafe and Hodiak were awarded a medal for their duties in this killing case. Soon after Hodiak was awarded, a guy from internal affairs came and told him he had questions because a witness saw what happened.

Grace and Hodiak are a couple now after all this mess went down. She finally gives up on her daughter after being in jail and just isn't listening to her. I did predict that Grace and Hodiak would wound up as a couple.

Charlie, on the other hand, became a father, but the baby wasn't breathing. Then, one of the girls, who was jealous of Charlie, steals a baby from the local hospital and brings the child back.

This episode was pretty good. There didn't seem to be any closing storylines except for Emma and her mother—a cliffhanger for Hodiak of the incident.  I look forward to seeing what Season Two will bring.

In this episode, I give it a 6.5/10.
You can catch "Aquarius" On Demand at NBC.com

Hannibal: "The Number of the Beast is 666..."


HOLY SHIP!!!!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE WHAT I'VE JUST WATCHED!!!!

The hunt for the Red Dragon is still on, and Will and Jack have an idea. With the help of Fredrick, they're going to draw the guy out and attack them by putting out an article describing the dragon.

That did work, but instead of going after Will, he went after Fredrick (who, in my opinion, got what he deserved). As Fredrick was heading out, the dragon snatched him and took him to his place, where it was the episode's best scene.

The dragon is talking to Fredrick, making him fear him. Soon, Reba comes by with chicken soup but tells the dragon how much she likes him. After that, the dragon shows pictures of his work to Fredrick and soon gets the photo of him and Will.

The dragon takes the video camera out and records, telling Fredrick what to say, and soon, the dragon is unleashed and goes to Fredrick, biting off his lips and fashioning the shot of Fredrick screaming with blood and teeth, showing so gruesome but so fantastic.

But if you think that was the end of Fredrick, not at all. The dragon later poured gasoline on him and lit him up on fire, pushing him down the pathway toward the water fountain.

Hannibal, of course, might have set it up for the dragon to hurt Fredrick. After all, he did get his lips in the mail from the dragon and ate one before Jack could see it.

Never have I seen such a gruesome scene in my life on television. This episode is as gruesome. Hannibal mentions that the lamb will soon be a loin. I think that in next week's episode, that lamb will become something of a loin.

I enjoyed this episode so, so much—mind-blowing scene with Fredrick and the Dragon. And Hannibal and Jack's conversation was good as well. The actors were just so damn good.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch the season finale/series finale of Hannibal on Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Sports Talk:

What a weekend the Chicago Cubs have had, sweeping the Atlanta Braves and winning today's game 9-3. 

The player of the game, Kris Bryant, hitting two home runs today, was flat-out remarkable. 

Cubs seem to be hitting at the right time, and pitching is good enough to get through. But I can't stress enough on the offensive side that this team is red hot. 

I know it's getting my grandfather, a Cardinal fan, worrying about how they're playing. 

We've only had less than 40 games; things can happen. But I do hope that what the Cubs are doing keeps going and hopefully shows a tremendous playoff run.

Playing it Like it was You Last: Weekend Catch Up Pt 7

Mr. Robinson: "Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog"/"Love the One You're With"

This week's episodes of Mr. Robinson was simply hilarious that I couldn't get enough of and wanting even more.

In "Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog" has Craig dealing with his brother's uncleanliness and behavior in his apartment. So when he heard Jimmy was looking for a place to live, Craig took him on and enjoyed the nice of a clean apartment plus Jimmy bossing Ben around to do stuff. But all good things come to an end when Ben turns Jimmy into one of him and ruins Craig's apartment.

He had to get Jimmy out without breaking any rules. He goes to what Jimmy wrote in an ad for the things he doesn't like and Craig and Ben performed those in the apartment. But Jimmy saw it and told Craig that all he had to do was ask and he would have understood.

Meanwhile, Principal Taylor volunteer to dog sit her boss' dog. But when she takes the dog to his apartment the dog jumps out of the window and causing her to have everyone to help from teachers to kids. Eventually the dog was found thanks to Ashleigh and Samir, that the dog landed in the garbage truck and just in time delivers the dog back and got him clean too.

In "Love the One You're With" has Craig deciding whether if he's happy doing both jobs as a teacher and musician or that he should cut one of the out of his life. This is when he has been behind in paperwork. And when Victoria said that she has a friend that wants to see him perform, it kind of lends to a decision.

Craig decided that he was quitting teacher and that's when not only Victoria but his students put together a video to show how much they like him.  It was sweet and funny at times. Eventually, Craig did come back to do teaching and coming back having the kids perform the beat to "Uptown Funk."

I thought that both episodes were pretty hilarious. I like when Jimmy gave Ben the worries when he tells him that they were going to bunk together and to clean their rooms. Also I couldn't get enough of Principal Taylor at times, especially in the second episode where she was drunk from middle episode through.

Overall I give "You Ain't Nothin' but a Hound Dog" a 8/10 and "Love the One You're With" a 8.5/10

You can catch Mr. Robinson Wednesday nights at 9/8c on NBC

Suits: Mea Culpa"

After last week's blow out from Harvey on Lewis (for which I do think it's much deserved). Pick things up right after the fight were Lewis is feeling rage and upset.  Lewis goes to his voice and tells Donna to make a phone call.

Donna tries to calm him down but doesn't work.

After all of this mess, Harvey talked to his therapist about it and made a choice to talk to Lewis and open up. He did and well, let's just say it didn't go the way it did.

When Harvey came back for Mike's partnership vote, Lewis stabs Harvey in the back and ask for a vote to suspended Harvey.

Boy did that just set fuel to the fire. And Jessica wasn't to pleased at what Lewis has done. Later on, things did get settle but  I don't think for the long hull.

Meanwhile as Mike becomes the youngest partner int he firm's history, Jessica give his a case. Rachel helps Mike but when he takes a look at who the lawyer is, it's a blast from his past and he leaves it all on Rachel to do.

Rachel was put on a sticky situation and dealt with it with care and determination with the help from Mike.  Even though their secret was almost exposed about Mike not graduated from Harvard. Things were all good.

This episode was as I would say it good. I think the only thing that probably made any progress is Mike and Rachel's relationship. Seen Harvey and Lewis go on and on  and I don't get tired of it, it's my entertainment.

Overall, I give this episode a 6.5/10

You can catch Suits Wednesday nights at 9/8c on USA

Complication: "critical condition" season finale  

Holy crap!!

What a season finale (and let's hope it's not a series finale) that turn out to be.

Everything has lead to this and we finally get the answers to all.

John tries to figure things out after his wife tells him about her relationship with an old friend. Soon John decides to talk to the detectives about a deal or nothing.

Soon, Gretchen goes to check on the little boy but soon Detective Holden comes and brings a gun that was in evidence bag.  John rushes down and calls Daruis to tell him about the situation.

They race down and Gretchen tells John that the kid was in distress. John help the boy's airway and soon Holden comes through the door and shoots Daruis.

John talks to Holden and calms him down but nothing seems like things would be calming down at all. But John makes a quick move to his bag and shoots Holden. Holden is dead and also we learn that he was the guy who started the gang war.

John and Gretchen help settled the war and seems to be over. He gets his dad out of jail and return with his wife and kid to the log cabin.

Soon John and Gretchen back at work and soon he gets a call from a guy who's the owner of a cancer clinic that John destroyed a while ago. And demanded to meet him and after that we're left with a cliffhanger.

This was the best season finales, there was a lot of closer to stories and a lot of answers too. But there was that ender that I hope that there will be a season two because I think that with each season there's is a complication situation that John and Gretchen will get into.

Overall, I give this season finale a 9/10 and the entire season I give it 9/10.

Well, until next season, we hope!




Hannibal"...And the Beast from the Sea" 


Will Hannibal help Will and the FBI capturing the Tooth Fairy?

Will was so close to capturing the Tooth Fairy in last week's episode but escape. Now, looks like he wants to kill Will's family and asked Hannibal for help.

He goes to Will's house, where he poison the dogs and soon creeps in the house looking for them to kill them. Will has a smart wife with the way she keeps calm and get her son out of the house

After they escape from the Tooth Fairy, the guy look really upset. He failed to "change them" and eated himself for it as if the Red Dragon was kicking his ass.

I have to handle to Hannibal, he tries to help but deep down he really wants to mess with people from Will to Jack.

After he told the TF that they were being listen on the other line, Bloom decided to take away everything from Hannibal and that includes the toilet. Well, that probably won't bother him as all.

An upset Will talks to Lecter about the TF and his doing. We learn that he's not killing them but changing them.

This episode was pretty good. I can't get enough of the visual effects with the Red Dragon for one.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10. It wasn't my favorite but it does carry the intense drama and story telling.

You can catch Hannibal Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC

Crushing the Past: Weekend Catch Up Part 6

Here's another edition of Weekend Catch Up.

Suits "Hitting Home" 

In this week's episode of "Suits," we get to learn why Harvey is what he is when it comes to dating and other relationships.

Seems Jessica seems to know what Jack Soloff is up to with trying to take away her company. When Jack tries to make things right, she has Mike helping with him, but more of keeping an eye on him instead. But Jack seems that even if he tries to help and not give information to another company, he has a change of heart.

Harvey on the other hand finally opens up about his past. He tells the story when he found his mother sleeping with a "cousin" and ask not to tell dad. This was when he was sick and coming from school. That moment triggered what Harvey is today and it shows when Louis' sister ask him to help with a lawsuit and than a date.

Harvey turns her down both times. She tries to open with him but he shuts her down cold. When she goes to tell Louis that she can't go with him and Donna. Louis soon figures it out that Harvey and her slept together and it turned into a heated battle.

This happens to be one of it's best episodes as for Harvey's storyline. It as well told and give a great explanation of why Harvey is so Harvey.  Also I don't think that Donna and Harvey could be friends with what just happen here. She wants t help give advice but he doesn't want any advice from a friend.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10
You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on NBC


Hannibal "And the Woman Clothed in Sun" 


Holy crap!! The ending to this episode was amazing and thrilling when Will and the Tooth Fairy finally meet and had a nice five second dance before escaping.

The Tooth Fairy had his conversation with Lecter and even had a flashback with him. It was kind of mind blowing when he blossomed into the Red Dragon in front of Lecter like that.

Also, taking his ray of sunshine, the speech therapist with him and had a stay in date night after going to the zoo.

And I couldn't forget Gillian Anderson's role in this episode, with her character's conversation with Will about if you came in front of a wounded bird would you help it? Both agree to help but she would crush it, because everything and everyone needed to be crush and she tells it with so so cold.

That had to be my second favorite scene in the episode. This episode was really well written and flat down mind blowing with the special effects with the Tooth Fairy and his therapist when she pets the tiger.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch "Hannibal" Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Sports thoughts:

I thought that this is Sunday that I would put in a couple of sports thoughts today in this post.

Cubs on a Roll
The Chicago Cubs are on a roll. Sweeping the San Francisco Giants 4-0 this weekend and winning today's game 2-0 in a dramatic ending.

The Cubs look great and are in the playoff hunt for the second Wild Card. Maybe Back to the Future could be right, the Cubs could win it in 2015?

The Lost of a Giant
I want to take this time to give my thoughts and prayers to the family of Frank Gifford. News today that he had passed away this morning, it's just heartbreaking. Frank was on the great giants of the NFL. Heck, I think he was the definition of what the NFL stood for, when he played.

I enjoyed watching him and Kathie Lee together on The Today Show. He was such an amazing legendary broadcaster, football player and human being.

Perspective of Fear, Rage and Horror: Weekend Catch Up Part 6

Once again another weekend catch up. Here are this past week's episodes.


Royal Pains: "Lending a Shoulder" Season Finale  

In the season finale (hopefully not series finale), a life, a death and a perspective life relationships and meanings.

Hank encounters someone from his past, his ex-fiance. As Hank treats a paient that's about to get married it turns out to be Nikki. Things blow over broad when Hank thinks that it was her that caused the break up but he realizes that it was his fault.

Divya doesn't make it in time to she her grandmother but makes a life perspective when she helps save a motorist in an accident and tells Hank that she wants to go to medical school. Plus her true love comes back to her.

As for Evan and Page, as the baby was coming, you can sense that somewhere soon that the mother was going to change her mind and keep the baby. But watching both Evan and Page go through that was tough to watch.

But the ending of this episode was far brilliant and felt like a true finale when Hank and Evan watched the sunset while drinking a beer. Hank can't get over how Evan has grown so much in the past seven years of them being together in the Hampton's.

This was a really good season finale. Some laughs and a lot of really good moments that I can't say enough about.

Until next season (Season 8) or as we love to say it "next summer." Which I would think that this season eight could be the end of the series. It will make it's 100th episode and each of the characters seems to be near the end of their journey and being happy.

You can catch "Royal Pains" next summer on USA Network.

Stitchers: "Fire in the Hole" 

In this week's episode, a scientist is dead due to a virus that she was working on. But when Kristen and then gang try to find out what happen to her, things don't go the way they hope; not even on Kristen's birthday.

In this bottle episode, the gang tries to figure out the deal with the virus and the cure. The lab shuts down and one by one each member shows symptoms of the virus.

They can't get into any lab, so Camille goes inside the vents and unlock the door, but in this hilarious moment she encounters a rat and freaks out. I would too.

When hope feels lost, everyone makes a phone call to their love ones except Kristen as she tries to figure things out. Until her and Cameron talk and soon figure out that the virus can be killed by the heat.

There were some questions answered and mostly it was between Kristen and Maggie as she told her the truth about her and Kristen's mother.

Good episode, as I said there were some questions answered. Allison's character was once again hilarious. Her humor pulls off great and still reminds me of her on Warehouse 13.

Overall I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.

Complications: "Fever" 

Where does the line end for John? Just how far can he go doing these things and not get in trouble?

In this week's episode John is face to help a friend to get out of jail while stealing some drugs for business. When Gretchen's friend/collage is in jail and need bail money, only one guy can help but it will cost dearly to do so.

When Gretchen ask John for help, he really couldn't but when she tells him this plan she has about stealing chemo drugs for this guy, John still says no. But when John has a meeting with the guy, he not only talks to him but blackmails him as well.

John didn't want to but came up with three or more plans to get the job done but that didn't work because Gretchen likes to wing it. As they stole up to nearly ten boxes of drugs, John saw what the guy was doing and pretending to pass on fake stuff as the real stuff.

That set John mad and blows up the lab and goes into his rage again. I think he like being angry, he looks like he's enjoying it.

Meanwhile, John's wife was informed that the cop watch was going to end and freaked out that a gang car drove by slowly. When she talks to her dear friend about it, he tells her to look into what the detective has on her husband.

This episode was good. Love how Gretchen and John always argue about how they help and that it's for the same but in a different manner of helping.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA.


Hannibal: "The Great Red Dragon" 

It's the episode that we're all dying to see, Red Dragon aka the Tooth Fairy baby!!!

This episode started off with the introduction of the Tooth Fairy, exercising and getting his tattoo of The Great Red Dragon.

Meanwhile, we jump three years ahead in the story. Hannibal, of course, is in his special jail cell, Jack is still working for the FBI and Will is happy with his wife, son and dogs at the cabin.

As the Tooth Fairy strikes, Jack needs help from Will and pulls him back into the game. Will, who doesn't want to, decides to help on the case of this fugitive.

When Will checks out the murder scene, Will does what Will does best, vision his design and it look great. But in some why, he doesn't feel quite right about ti. Even dreaming about the murder family.

But it was at the end of the episode that Will goes to Jack and tells him that he's going to need some help, more of an opinion on the case. He wants to see Lecter and oh boy did that first meet since he was captured look great.

Also not to forget, Fredrick comes in and talks to both Lecter and Dr. Bloom. Hell Bloom had a talk with Lecter too and mostly was about Mason and how he kept his promises about Will.

This episode was great. The introduction of the Tooth Fairly was amazing well done. Hell I couldn't have wanted it either other way. Finally we get to see Will's  wife and son and not to mention Will being a profiler that he once was or is.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch "Hannibal" Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The Capture and Dinner: Hannibal: "Dolce"/"Digetive"


In the episode "Dolce" Will and Jack are hunting down Hannibal. Hannibal, who is recovering from his wounds from Jack, is thinking of a way to get back.

Later, Jack and Will find where Hannibal's been staying at and talks to Bedelia, who was drugged up. Playing that she isn't who she is and all that Will goes on the hunt for Hannibal while Jack stay and soon a French policeman talks to both of them. A really conversation as Jack leaves and Bedelia stays.

In the meantime, Verger wants Hannibal and founds out that the detective who was going to catch him is dead. Along with that, Dr. Bloom and Margot make out and hopes that Bloom could help her get a sperm from her brother.

As it draws near, Will and Hannibal walks out and Will is shot by Chiyoh. Hannibal takes will to a place and soon Jack comes in and Hannibal cuts his ankle. Both are tied for what they'll be having for dinner. And before it was going to happen I thought that he was going to cut Jack's skull off but no, it was Will's. But just before Hannibal cuts through Will's skill, we're taken from Italy and into a butcher's cooler and see Verger welcoming them to his place.

Amazing, well-done and so so good. This episode was remarkable with tension and shocking moments especially the ending of this episode which I didn't know what the hell was going on. I thought it was just a dream.

In "Digetivo" The Florentine police breaks into the dinner of Jack, Hannibal and Will and taken Lecter and Graham, who's injured, to Mason Verger's place Muskrat Farm in Maryland.

Just before the police could kill Jack, Chiyoh saves him by shooting them from the roof tops. But Jack is worried about how he will get out of the city without having the police kill him.

Mason has Hannibal and Will for dinner and tells them his plan for them. Eat Lecter piece by piece while keeping him alive and the other is to cut Will's face off.

While Margot talks to Mason, they discuss about child and that he already has a surrogate for her. And I don't want to spoil anything but it's one of the most shocking moments in this episode and bar far the creepiest.

Lecter is rescued by Bloom, who cuts the rope that he's tied to and help rescue Will from Mason. He does it in a beautiful way. Once you think that Will's face is being cut, it's a complete turn around.

At the end, Will and Lecter have one more conversation and Will tells him that he doesn't want to see him anymore. When Jack comes with his troops, Will tells him that he's gone but Lecter comes out and surrenders to Jack. He wants Will to know that he knows where he could find him.

This episode was literally the best one bar far. Love the interaction between Lecter and Mason at the dinner table. The shocking surrogate and most of all the surrendering of Lecter to Jack.

I give "Dolce" a 8/10 rating while "Digetive" gets a 10/10 rating.

Aquarius and Hannibal Moving to Saturdays


Today as it was first reported by Wall Street Journal media reporter, Joe Flint, on twitter that the NBC Thursday series "Aquarius" and "Hannibal" are moving to Saturdays. TVLine.com has confirmed the report.

Since Hannibal was recently cancelled, it makes sense to burn off the rest of the episodes has it did with "Smash." But it doesn't quite make any with "Aquarius" as it was picked up for a second season.

Flint also reported that the reason for the changes is that the "appease (NBC) affiliates not happy with their numbers."

When "Aquarius" premiered in May, it averaged 5.7 million in total with a 1.0 rating. By it's most recent July 3rd episode, the numbers had sink to 2.4 million/0.4.

"Dateline Thursday Mysteries" will take over the 9/11pm time slot that was once held by Aquarius and Hannibal stating this Thursday. With "Aquarius" airing Saturdays a 9/8c then followed by "Hannibal" at 10/9c.

Listening to the Lies and Cheaters for the Unbelievable Turn: Weekend Catch Up Part 5

Another week has past and so has these shows. If you missed them here's a recap of this past week's shows.




Royal Pains: "Voices Carry"



In this week's episode, Hank takes a trip to New York with Olympia, but their date doesn't go to plan. As Olympia has a League of Nations with the health summit.

When Hank meets one of the doctors from another country, he sees his assistant in trouble and helps her.

It gets weird when that same assistant, starts having a stroke during the meeting.  Hank figures it out that the cause of the stroke was that of her boss's voice.

Meanwhile, Evan finds a secret that Boris has been keeping. This is after Evan feels left out of doing the work that he is suppose to do.

Dyvia in the meantime, is dealing with three men on her own and finally gets the divorce settled but who does she want to be with?

For one thing the medical situation in this episode was great. Vanessa Williams was excellent as Olympia and both her character and Hank hit it off quite well.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Royal Pains" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.





Stitchers: "Stitchers in the Rye"


When an former agent who runs a food truck business that was murdered, Kristen and the team found out who killed him in this very interesting episode of "Stitchers."

As the team investigates the murder of a former CIA agent, Kristen searches for what the victim did and what searches did he hide. When she sees where he kept his secret government files, the team rushes down there to retrieve it. But as Kristen takes on file, the truck was in self destruct mode and blew up.

That only left with a file that can only be used in an old Apple computer to say. Kristen remembers her past with Ed when he had a bunch of computers in the garage. She finds one and finds out that the victim had the files on the stitchers program. Talk about weird, right?

But as this goes on, weird events start to unfold, like Kristen receiving a book "The Catcher and the Rye," and receiving strange spam text messages. That would all piece together as Marta was luring Kristen and trying to take her away from the program.

This episode was probably one of it's best. There's a lot of tension between Kristen and Maggie right now and at the end you kind want to just kick Maggie's behind after talking to a mysterious person in the garage.

All in all, I give this episode a 7/10. If you are a fan of "Catcher and the Rye" you might be liking this episode as there was a theme to it.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.





Suits: "Compensation" 



Hell in High Water comes in the Harvey-Donna-Lewis triangle.

When Lewis tries to make things right with Harvey, he does it by standing up to Harvey when Jack proposes of the new pay structure that will have Lewis making more than Harvey. Of course, that back fires and Lewis goes out and shares Harvey's last pay statements. And after all that, things just gets heated up more and more.

Meanwhile, Rachel has dinner with her father. But during hat dinner her father gives her a prenup. This turns heads between both of them and when Mike finds out, he deals with the situation head on  face to face. Does Rachel love Mike with all her heart? Do you think that this relationship will last forever?

"Compensation" was a very intense episode. There were a lot of humorist moments. One of which, Harvey interviewing clients for Donna's replacement. Another is hearing Lewis yelling about his turf toe.

All in all, I give this episode a 8/10. The icing on the cake about this episode is that the new of the series getting picked up for a sixth season.

You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on USA.





Mr. Robot: "Eps1.1ones-andzer0es.mpeg" 



War soon to start!

In this episode, Elliot gets torn between a job offer from Evil Corp and joining fsociety  But he needs to make a decision on whether or not that his decision will to help will harm the people around him.

Watching Elliot and Shayla, I find interesting that even though she gives him the drugs, there could be something between them.

By the way, what is the difference between Blue Cross and Blue Shield? He makes a great argument of that with his therapist.

And someone's watching from the inside of Angela's place.

This episode was by far amazing. I can't get enough of this episode that I want to see more and more after it ends. Rami Malek is certainly going to get nomination for his role in this series, from Golden Globes to possibly Emmy.

Aquarius: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" & "Cease to Resist" 

In this two episodes,, Manson recovers from a beat down from Hodiak. While Hodiak helps Shafe figure out who is tormenting his family in their neighborhood. As for the second episode Hodiak investigates a celebrity's murder.  While Emma and Sadie meet up with someone special from Manson's past.

These two episodes were good and somewhat interesting. There's been to much arguing from Hodiak and his two ladies his ex and his on and off girlfriend.

This series with each episode gets amazing and amazing every week. And I do watch it week after week. Even though I do DVR it.

You can catch "Aquarius" Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.


Hannibal: "Contorno" 


The offer of riches from Mason threatens to put Inspector Pazzi off his quest for redemption. Meanwhile Will and Chiyoh travels to Florence in search of Hannibal and of course Bloom is worried for everyone's safety.

A former girlfriend/friend Chiyoh describes to Will about how she met with Hannibal. She might have a code of not killing but it doesn't bother her.

Jake moves on after his wife's death as he dumps her ashes in the river and throws his wedding ring too.

Hell all I want to talk about is that amazing fight scene with Hannibal and Jack. Holy crap!!! Jack beats the crap out of Hannibal but in the end, Hannibal won when he was pushed off the edge of the window and landed on his feet walking away.

Now things start to get crazy!!!!

Overall, I give the episode a 10/10.

It's another tense episode that's filled with on the edge drama.

Overall I give it a 8/10.

Graceland: "Chester Cheeto"


This week's episode of "Graceland" Briggs tries to keep things under control with Ari Adamian. It does seem to go well at all.

And in a game changer, Charlie struggles with the decision to terminate her pregnancy.

It's a good episode. It's not how the previous one was but it's close to being an average episode with some moments that's fills you up.

All in all, I give this episode a 6/10.

Clipped: "Go Below" 



In this week's episode of "Clipped" Danni suspects that AJ is seeing Charmaine as they take a Spanish class together and in the meantime, Ben has a one night stand with a neighbor.

When Ben feels all alone after the gang leaves to do other stuff. Ben feels left out and drinks his beer, when one of the sisters next door was duping cat poop out the window. As they argued, they decided drink together and there's the phrase "Go Below" comes into play.

As for Danni, when she learns that AJ and Charmaine are taking a Spanish class together. She deals with unfinished business with him. But when AJ  got the hint about how Charmaine's hands are amazing, he checks her out while they are studying and eating Chinese food.

Charmaine does to Danni and tells her that she needs to confront the issue that she's been dealing with. Danni goes to AJ's apartment and tries to be cool with it but the tension couldn't be bare and she went at him and also had a one night stand.

Funny, dirty and some awkward moments in this episode.  Love how they use the phrase "Go Below" as a meaningful term and probably will be used.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.
