I'm very much excited for tomorrow night. I know that Game of Thornes could take everything, including for best comedy too. But I really think that this year's Emmys will be so hard to see who's going home with a win. Could Julia Louis-Dreyfus win for Veep one last time? Will it be Chernobyl or When They See Us take all the awards? As much as I do think Game of Thrones will win Best  Drama, don't be surprised if This Is Us wins, I think they could be the dark horse that no one believes they could win it.

You can catch the 71st Primetime Emmys Sunday, Sept. 22 at 8/7c on FOX.

Change of Heart: Shades of Blue "Good Police" Season Premiere

The season premiere of Shades Of Blue was as intense and chilling as it could be and leaving us with some shocking moments.

After getting a quick recap on how we got here, we see Harlee speaking in front of a council about how to NYPD is dirty and even talking about how herself has been involved too. But we jump back three weeks proper to that event and see Harlee, Loman and Woz trying to get the drug dealer that's dealing and had that kid who shot Woz in the season finale. That was until gun shots were heard and the three headed over there.

As they come to the scene, Harlee and Woz see mainly everyone dead, while Loman chases someone that was running from the back of the diner. As Harlee checked the back, someone runs out the back and she chases him. He stops and turns and with a moment look Harlee shot him thinking that it was Stahl, but it wasn't.  Loman comes just after the shots and helped Harlee out, the same way she helped him out in the pilot.

Harlee tries to help figure out who would come in a shot an officer til she thinks that it had to do with the Intelligence unit doing. After the funeral of the police officer from the diner, Harlee and Loman tracked a suspect to take him in and questioned him, but the Intelligence gets in the way and gets to Woz asking for an exchange between Harlee's suspect and Woz's drug dealer that he's trying to get.

After Woz tries to get Harlee to turn her suspect in, she follows the orders but changed her mind and doesn't exchange like Woz was hoping she would do. Instead, she takes him to protective custody with James talking to him about it. As soon as Harlee meets with Woz in his garage, she talks about how it's the intelligence unit that got their own shot.

But as Harlee heads home, she gets a call from James about how they need to meet and that it was about what their suspect has to say. But when she heads there, she seems to be followed by a taxi and quickly she pulls over and follows a man in a hat that looks like someone, maybe Stahl. She follows him from the subway and out but loses him. She walks out and gets a taxi to meet with James til police cars were rush over and she too rush over to see that the suspect was killed along with James too.

This episode was so good with the intense, dramatic moments and the shocking final moments. But mainly I was moved with some of the scenes that mimic from the pilot episode from Loman helping Harlee out after she accidentally shot the suspect to what she did helping Loman out. Also the Woz-Harlee scene in his garage and the thunderstorm coming too. It does feel the show is coming to an end along with going back to the events that will lead up to Harlee testifying in court. Anyone thinking that some might not survive? I didn't see Woz in court with Harlee and others. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

You can catch Shades of Blue Sundays at 10/9c on NBC.

A Night with Stars: Timeless "Hollywoodland"

With the moment that we all been waiting for comes with a twist at the end that maybe no one could see coming.

 With no Emma in this episode, the Time Team tracks the Mothership to the 1941 where Rittenhouse tries to steal the work-print of the movie Citizen Kane and trying to sell it to William Randolph Hearst (who's the film is based on). Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus bumps into Hedy Lamarr, who doesn't taken as a fool and figures out that they aren't really who they are, but helps the team search for the man, who's taken the secret films.

In the meantime, Jiya, gets examined for her condition that Agent Christopher has only found out and comes to the concussion that she's fine and even better that her heart murmur is fixed. Which kind of leads to Mason dealing with something new then what they had dealt in the past. Lucy and Christopher tries to get Flynn to help again, but if they want him to help he needs to get out before Rittenhouse kills him in prison. After given a tip, Christoper helps him with a breakout that Time Team sets up in his own prison cell 50 years later.

But with the hunt for the secret films, Wyatt and Lucy share the moment that we've all been waiting for as they kiss and slept together. The two seem to be the item now in the relationship, but a twist comes at the end of the episode that really would take the fans in shock as Wyatt escapes the compound to see someone at a local tavern, where he walks up to Jessica, his wife who's alive and well.

"Hollywoodland" was an action-less episode that still delivered a story that it worthy of watching that had a lot of fun, educational and dramatic moments. From learning of what Lamarr did for WiFi and to even what Citizen Kane as about (check that film out!). There were many memorable moments from Lucy singing in front of a crowd while looking at Wyatt to Lamarr and Rufus discussing her scientific ideas foe the future. I'd very much enjoyed this episode. The performances from the cast from Spencer, Lanter, Goran and even Claudia Doumit as Jiya.

Does anyone think that the kiss from Wyatt and Lucy might have changed history to make Jessica like she had never died? With Jiya's seizures not seem to be life threatening now, would that make it to help them in advice against Rittenhouse? And how crazy would it have been if Jurassic Park was made back in the 1940's?

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Timeless returning in two weeks from Sunday at 10/9c on NBC.

Driving and Finishing: Timeless "The Darlington 500"

Nothing like driving in the fast line back in the 1950's to get your blood pumping right?

This week's episode takes our #TimeTeam to Sept. 4, 1955 where the Mothership is Darlington, South Carolina, thanks to Flynn's tip-off about a Rittenhouse-affiliated address. That's where they make the discover that Rittenhouse is after a NASCAR race driver Ryan Millerson, who is to race at the Darlington 500.

But at the track, they realize that Millerson is one of the sleeper agents for Rittenhouse and just before getting into trouble again with Emma, black race car driver Wendell Scott saves them from being killed. The team finds a bomb in Millerson's car and learn that it's intended to murder the automotive executives that are attendance, so that Rittenhouse could take over the auto industry.

But when they get Wendell to sneak them back into the track to stop Rittenhouse, Wyatt kills Millerson, not before the bomb is armed and drives the car with cops on their tails back to Wendell's garage. With the cops passing by, Rufus defuses the bomb.

Meanwhile, back in the present, Mason makes a bold move of making a public appearance that's against Agent Christopher's orders. She comes in just before he goes on and makes a sense of his arrest and takes him back to the compound. Along with that Jiya as been seen visions of what the future may be looking as she saw Rufus's arm looking burned, but when he gets back from 1955 his arm was burned.  But Keynes reveals his vision to make a perfect humanity by cutting away the flaws.

"The Darlington 500" was an amazing storytelling episode of not only what NASCAR was back in the day but what it's like for a fan, like Wyatt. You really see Wyatt's character light up with excitement as a fan would when meeting their heroes. I couldn't get enough o Wendell Scott in this episode but also learning about him as well.  It still give that thrill and intense with the car chase, the surprises of Millerson being a sleeper agent and what's to come next that really give this show something to look forward. The writing was good and the performance was strong. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Timeless Sundays at 10/9c on NBC.

The Gang is Back! Timeless "The War to End Al Wars" Season Premiere

It's the season premiere that we've all been waiting! Timeless is back and premiere doesn't disappoint let don't let off on the gas.

When we jump into season 2, Mason Industries has been bombed almost leaving Wyatt and Rufus in the time machine in danger, but they do survive thanks to Agent Christopher, who relocates them to an abandoned military compound. Wyatt wants to look for Lucy, thinking that she's alive while Christopher doesn't want him to get his hopes too high. But Lucy is alive and with her mother, who we learned in the season finale that she's with Rittenhouse.

After the bombing, we jump six weeks later finding Lucy with Carol and Emma traveling to the Battle of Saint-Miihel, France in 1918 to find an injured solider, Nicholas Keynes and bring him back to 2018. But Emma puts Lucy in a tight position when she wants her to murder Keynes' squad-mate, who's was asking way too many questions seeing things being done.

While repairing the Lifeboat, Wyatt and Rufus find where the Mothership and get there to rescue Lucy and when they get there, they find that she's trying to sabotaged Carol's mission. But in the meantime, Wyatt and Rufus comes in between a member of Rittenhouse and after kicking some butt, find a copy of Keynes's 1910 Rittenhouse time travel manifesto from a modem Rittenhouse agent that's fully integrated into the past.

While in the present, Mason, who feels useless, tries to develop an algorithm to track the Mothership's movement and Jiya's illness continues to get worsen.

To help save Keynes, Lucy gets Marie Curie and Irene Joliot-Curie, who using a "petite Curie" radiography unit (an x ray). But when they left and discover the Mothership, Emma threatens to kill them. Lucy stops her and comes in between them, but Emma would kill all three if Wyatt and Rufus didn't get there in time but with an exchange. With the Curies fleeing, Emma, Carol and Keynes left while Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus are back together and get back to 2018. 

Back in the present, looking at the manifesto, Wyatt thinks that Rittenhouse had placed sleeper agents throughout history thinking that Emma, for example, was placed there not by accident but to get things moving. Meanwhile, Carol wakes up Keynes, who we learn is her grandfather. And in order to get help, Christoper goes to the one person who knows what Rittenhouse will do next, Flynn. But he will only talk to Lucy about all of this mess.

The season premiere opened up like a fright train that was't going to stop for one second. The episode really sets the series in an amazing direction for these characters and some mind blowing moments, with Keynes being the great grandfather of Lucy. But the moments for me have to be watching Lucy reunite with Wyatt and Rufus for the firs time since leaving with her mother and the almost kiss moment between her and Wyatt was nothing but intense moment. Just like last season, I'm all in for this season with where this show will be going. Good character development and the writing was good as well. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Timeless Sundays at 10/9c on NBC.
