What the.....?: The Blacklist "Vanessa Cruz"


If you missed this episode of The Blacklist, what the heck man?! This week's episode had nothing more than pure drama and a shocking ending that will leave you in shock.

We see Liz talking with Tom as he's on the run from the German guys. He's begging her to give him his passports and stuff. Of course, Liz won't do it and as she opens the door to let him out, good old Red shows up with a gun pointing at Tom. 

Tom leaves and Red tells Liz that he doesn't think she's thinking clearly. She tells him that she is and then Red tells her about a new case. 

I think that the women on the Blacklist so far seem to be very dangerous then the men. This blacklist is killing businessmen and framing them. Looking like the Red Dragon character with wings on her back.

You think that she's doing it for the money but think again. She's after these men and one other for revenge of the death of her husband. And just before she starts to kill one guy, her own love, another woman who works with the guy walks in. 

This is the first time, I believe that a blacklist has escaped, but I think we'll see her again soon. Heck, she has an offer from Red's team to do something. So stay tune seeing her again. 

Meanwhile, Tom and Liz are still at it again. As Liz asked Red for help, for his help he needs the fulcrum, but she won't give it. Soon, she talks to Tom and ask for his help in exchange for his passports. 

But Tom, who isn't suppose to tell Liz anything about those passports does and admits that it come from Red. 

That lead to Liz meeting with Red, who ask him to give her a firm answer. He admits that he had Tom watching her. That freaked her out and didn't want to see Red anymore. Well that led to when Red was about to talk when a "BANG!" came and we see that Red has been shot. 

That was the most shocking ending to and episode so far this season. Who did it? Was it the group that's after Red for the fulcrum? Could it be another blacklister? Or has Red played another card in this game that has just gotten heated. 

It was by far one of it's best episodes. The drama between Tom and Liz is unbelievable and I feel a bit bad for Tom. 

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

Love and Debunked: Tuesday Night Comedies



Unbreakable "An Imaginary Torch Walks into the Bar"

If there's any life lessons in Rom-Com movies it's that there's always a do not and a really do not stuff to do. For this week's episode Justin's ex comes back and breaks the news that she's engaged.

That throws Justin off completely and trying to think of a way to tell her that he still loves her. As Danny tries to tell him that it's not a good idea to pursue, Justin does it anyway from having the engagement party at his bar.

Until Danny and the gang takes Justin and hold him off til the end of the party, for which really turned into one of those embarrassing rom-com moments. Justin does go and makes a speech but if you think it was to his ex, think again as it was to Danny. Ah how cute that speech was.

This episode was not as the season premiere episode but still it was good. A lot of rom-com references to joke about what each movie and other show has done.  If I had to rate it, it would be 6/10. There was some good and hilarious moments and there were some what moments.

You can catch Undateable Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.





One Big Happy "Crushing It"

It's never easy to know if someone is gay or not but after a couple of weeks or so at the gym, Liz thinks that one gym member has been eyeing her just as she has been eyeing her too.

This week's episode deals with Liz and going for a relationship with someone that's been eyeing her but the question is, is she gay or not. She is but there's a twist after there first date at the bowling alley.

When Liz and Luke went to their doctor's appointment, the nurse turns out to be her girlfriend. Awkward!!

Soon she confronts Liz and tells her that she can't date patients who are seeing her boss. But when we see them again for another appointment, turns out there she will be counting the days until that child is born.

This was a good, hilarious episode. It had me laughing from the beginning to the end and I thought that the character of Liz was amazingly funny.

One joke that went on through the episode was what should Pruedence be called when the baby arrives? I think maybe Prudy Britty.

You can watch "One Big Happy" Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.

The Witness is....: 12 Monkeys "Shonin"

12M_detail_2560x1450_1280x725_369254467869



This episode was a mind-binding drama that you must sit and pay attention to. And most of all, it was fantastic!!!

Both Cole and Ramse went back to Tokyo in 1987, as Ramse was to do what he felt was right, and Cole was to stop the development of the virus and Ramse. But things soon turn, and we see Cole and Ramse fight to the death.

As soon as Ramse is taken away, we see Cole almost getting gunned down but don't hold your breath on him getting shot. Ramse was taken to jail for three years until he was released. In the meantime of his time, he spent getting butt kicked and receiving letters from that mysterious lady.

Ramse is released and soon picked up by the group developing the Armies of the 12 monkeys. Ramse is the developer of the army of the 12 monkeys.

Along the way, Cassandra deals with Marker, who gets drunk and upset about all this. I would, too, but I wouldn't throw a good bottle at the mirror.

Cole, on the other, isn't dead. Jones saved him and her decision to time-jump him to 2015 even though he could die. He doesn't go so far and lands in Cassandra's apartment.

Others to mention: Jones and Marcus have a moment that look like it was going to go well but ended up heated. No one took a drink. I think the meaning of having a drink is to pour, get angry, and slam it down.

Jennifer, the creator of the monkeys, is picked up by Ramse and the group, and they are using her for the armies.

This episode gets more and more impressive each week. This episode has to be one of the most topsy-turvy episodes, with all the time jumps from the 80s to the 90s and into 2015. Boy, it would give someone a headache if they didn't know this show.

You can catch 12 Monkeys on Friday nights at 9/8c on SyFy.

The Blacklist "The Longevity Initiative"



It's one of the most shocking episodes so far this season. When a scientist is experimenting on humans who are alive but brain dead to find away to bring them back. Red seeks to find him before the FBI does. But that's not the shocking thing in this episode.

Red seeks this scientist from the request of a man who will be an asset to hum down the road. Red mention to Liz that there's something cooking soon and when it comes, they're going to need hum.

Speaking of Liz, after last week's return of Tom, he needs help hiding. When he thought he was going to go on his next assignment, his boss turns a gun on him. But soon the German gang that he was under-covering a couple of episodes ago comes and takes them.

When the gang tries to get Tom to talk, they see a photo of Liz and soon tells them that he can help and that if they even touch her, they would be in trouble. So Tom is going to help them.

We do learn a bit about the scientist and why he's doing these experiments. But when Red picks him up he ask if there's a way that a memory could be brought back from a trouble past. He's referring to Liz and the fulcrum.

There was none and by the time he talks to Red in his home, talking about his wife that he blames himself for killing her, sudden kills himself.

Not to get out of place but it was also Liz's birthday and you could see Ressler trying a little bit to be a bit more friendly to her than usual.  Anyone thinking that Ressler has feels for Liz in a romantic way?

But the shocking part comes near the end, when Liz is at her apartment and as soon as she comes in, who pops up? TOM KEEN!! And he needs her help.

Who the hell saw that one coming? I tell ya that I even didn't think of it.

Net week's episode will deal with Liz to make that one choice: Red or Tom?
Who do you choose if you were Liz?

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

Wednesday Night Drama Night


The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Intoxicated Intern"

After a month off, it's great to see Laura and her gang back and solving crimes. This week's mystery goes from college frat to a social network business.

This episode is a great way to get back into after a month on break. It had just enough humor and drama and a twist to catch your attention.

Watching Laura speaking the tech-social language was just hilarious, along with Meredith, who seems to be the mean one of the bunch, showing her super nerdy side.

That also includes when Laura and her boyfriend will have their time together at the house, and the babysitter comes back twice. The second time was the charm, as it was a murder for her to take.

Many suspects go from the college frat club to having a wife who suspected her husband of cheating with colleagues at work. There were so many turns that it was the victim's assistant.

As I said before, this episode was utterly outstanding. Full of laughs, drama, and just more laughter. I'm enjoying the new character, Frankie. She has been nothing but amazingly funny and sweet. It's just the opposite of what Meredith is when you see them working together.

I believe that this show should be renewed for another season. It might not be a young demo ratings winner, but it does grab the appeal of significant viewers who love this kind of show. NBC doesn't need to do what they did with Harry's Law. That was the wrong thing to do. This show deserves to get a second season. It makes Woman Crush Wednesday something I sure can't miss each week.

You can catch The Mysteries of Laura on Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC

Chicago PD: "Say Her Real Name"

When doing an uncovered job, it's best to leave your side at the front door, right? This week's episode dealt with one member taking a murder a bit personally.

Ruzek goes undercover for a suitable group to make small bombs and protest a foreign leader visiting Chicago. When he meets with a young lady with whom he talks and gets to know her, it becomes an excellent, friendly relationship.

As Ruzek returns to the House, he gets a message from a friend to meet at a hotel. When he and Alarrivee, that same friend, falls and lands in the car.

Upset that Ruzek is, everyone helps to get this person who pushed her off the window. They even stopped the foreign leader to talk, but the FBI called in the way. After the first time, you know the second time is the charm. Voight and Al talk to the guy at a local cop joint. They talk and soon find a bit of leverage that has him a bit of a video with him and the victim. 

Things go from one hill to the other, but as things continue, they find the guy who she was with at the time of her falling. They question him, and with Ruzek in the room, I've never seen him this upset or this intense. He was correcting the suspect on her name and slapping him as he told him that her name was this and not that. 

The suspect confesses, and soon Ruzek is in the locker room and apologizes to Burgess for the next few days and the way shown the last couple of days with this case. It did affect him quite a bit.

It was another great episode with an officer mixing personal and professional relationships. Next week's episode will deal with one man and one man only, Voight, as his card was found in a drug bust, and now he's on the hunt to clear his name.

You can catch Chicago PD on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Tuesday Night Comedies






Undateable "Candace's Boyfriend Walks Into a Bar"

This week's episode of Undateable shows' the character's more maternal side of things when Candace's boyfriend comes into the bar and everyone doesn't approve of him. Until Danny, who buts out of it, soon gives some very bad advice to her.

It's probably one of the most hilarious episodes so far. Justin, who's like a mother figure to the group butts into Candace's relationship life when her boyfriend comes in. Heck, he doesn't like the way the boyfriend treats her.

When Justin tells her about what he thinks of him, she gets upset about it and goes to Danny for some advice. Danny, who's been doing voice overs after been watching The Wonder Years, kind a butts in and gives her some advice of what to do with her boyfriend. That advice wasn't good.

Candace decides to have her boyfriend move in with her. That has Danny and Justin going over and telling her like a mommy and daddy that it's not a good idea. And after they're little talk, she tells her boyfriend that it's not working out and soon he takes a breakup selfie.

This episode was such a good one that with some of the supporting characters had some good small story lines as well.

You can catch Undateable Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC




One Big Happy "Out of the Closet" 

In this week's episode Lizzy tries to move on from a former relationship but when Prudence tries to help by given her a push it goes the complete opposite.

As Prudence moves in, she brings in about 40 boxes into the house and gives Lizzy a massive freak out. When Prudence asked if she could use the closet that Lizzy has some stuff that was from her last relationship. 

That's when Prudence tries helping Lizzy by moving forward and Luke doesn't like the way she's telling her how to move on. He kind of rather takes all that stuff and burn it. 

When Lizzy gets rid of it and tries given it back, the two gets back together but not for long as she stood her up when it came to a dinner the next night. 

I enjoyed this episode so much and this series. I love how Lizzy is such a down to earth, real character. I felt so much for her character in this episode. The one joke that got the most laughs when Prudence found the rooster cookie jar that's also known as her  grandmother's cock. 

This cast is so amazing and hilarious. The writing is awesome and just so witty. There are moments that make you feel like hugging.

You can catch One Big Happy Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30pm on NBC.

The X Files They're BACK!!!


YES! Kill the creepy intro music now! Today it was conformed that The X-Files are coming back to television in a six episode season. 

Word is production starts this summer, which could air sometime late this year or next year. 

Who in the hell isn't excited? Mulder and Scully coming back to the small screen isn't something new since FOX did it with 24 and has had a successful run. 

The band is back together. Chris Carter to even Vince Gilligan coming to with some amazingly spooky episodes. 

One thing is for sure: better go rewatch the show on Netflix before it airs.
