"They're coming, they're coming!" 12 Monkeys "Paradox"

12M_detail_2560x1450_1280x725_369254467869



I'll be quick and brief with this recap of this episode.t

Cole is alive but still dying; he lands in 2015 with Cassy and Aaron. He's recovering, but soon, Cassy brings a special guest to help, the 2015 version of Jones, who is pregnant then. They get her to check Cole out.

Jones comes up with an idea to get some blood of Cole from his past, and since he was born in 2009, he's about nine years old in this time setting. Cassy and Jones search for Cole and his father. They check out the car shop where his father is at. At first, he didn't believe what Cassy was telling him but soon felt her and went to help Cole from the future.

The other is how Aaron makes a deal with the group, warning him about Cassy and the virus. I'll say this: when he tries to get her to come with him, and she headbutts him on the nose, they're done with.

Frost's daughter now had the power of her daddy's company and is acting quickly as a little joker, too.

As Cole got his blood into him, it was like a beam of light came out and exploded, sending the two guys that would take him out excellently flying through the house. Plus, when Cassy comes to see if he is alive or dead, Cole is lying on the floor, butt naked, with light burns like it was from the Terminator. It was awesome!!!

In the end, we see a bit of an emergency when Whitey comes back with a head of his guys, telling her that they are coming. I might forget who these guys are, but I'll label them as the army of the Arrowheads since they look like the hero from Arrow. No pun intended.

It seems like the season finale will not be to miss. Everything is led up to this and soon Season Two. What will happen? What will the outcome be?

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

Resurrected: Chicago PD "The Three G's"


If this episode was about one person in this task force family, it would be no other than Al. When a six year old unsolved case comes back, it will drive Al to a familiar place of dark times.

When Erin and Al  have breakfast together, a call comes in about a distributing smell from a warehouse. They go and investigate it until they found a bunch of girls chained up to the wall, dead.

This gives Al a bit of deja vu from an old case of a man who brings families children for money. As for the rest of the squad they were ready for the hunt.

The guy they're after is Dennis Lee. When they get to his nephew, he gave them where Lee will show up but that turned out to be a set up.

You can see that Al is getting upset and frustrated every minute that Lee is out there. His wife had to call Voight and have a talk with him as he was in the garage looking for the old case files that he had of the homicide case. He tells Voight that he wrote something down but couldn't find it.

Since this series started I've never seen Al get so upset like this before. Al has a dark side and I know that we don't want him going there.

When a tracker picks up a gang member that Voight made a deal with if he was going to see Lee. That lead up to a hotel with guns a blazing. As Al makes a surprise on him he takes him out back in the hallway and freezes just wanting to pull that trigger. But Voight stopped him.

For one we get to see Al's character grow this season. Yeah there might be a few minor story lines but this one was huge for his character.

At the end, we see Al eating with his family. Hes quiet and doesn't say much. His duaghter was about to go upstairs and study for a test until the door bell rings and it's her boyfriend. Al's duaghter had plans of going with him while he's touring with his band. For one Al becomes a hero and the father of the week in one night. How about that?

The next episode will be the biggest crossover event yet. Check it out: Chicago PD.

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

Welcome to Chicago Med: Chicago Fire "I Am the Apocalypse"


This week's episode takes us from one situation to another problem. This episode opens up to the possible spin-off of Chicago Med.

When a call came from a factory and a chemical spill, rescuing two others from the roof, the gang from 51 took everyone to Chicago Med to get treated. Almost every day in the ER is busy, which isn't new to the folks of Chicago Med ( I know because I was used to it at County General's ER).

When Med gets the call, they try to make things as smooth as possible. When 51 came with patients, things started to get heck and by the time April, the head nurse of Med, tries calming everyone down and giving directions, a patient walks up, gets on a chair, and yells that he is the apocalypse and that he has something worse than the elbow virus.  

Then he tried to blow himself up with a bomb, and Severide ran to stop him, knocking him down, and the patient went boom.

Welcome to Chicago Med comes to my mind after that scene.

Things went from bad to worse; patients needed treatment fast, and others feared the virus and tried to leave but were blocked by the rest of the 51 outside. Chaos ruled the event, as you could see—Casey and the rest inside attempted to maintain the fire situation. 


But it was Severide that took a toll on the rest of the story that he was hurt, and even Will, the doctor, and Halstead's brother, was just to let him die. Oh, hell no, he wasn't going to do that.

Lauren Holden's character comes in and tries to help and save Severide, who, while under, saw flashbacks of Shay, who was moving and thinking to himself that he couldn't die. 

But Severide makes it through and will make a full recovery. 

The suspect who blew himself up happens to be carrying a virus that didn't grow into what he had hoped it would have, and no one has been exposed to any virus. He came from an experiment factory that was testing viruses as weapons. 

I think one or maybe two things to take out of this episode is that one: this is an excellent episode for the spinoff to Chicago Med. Maybe one more episode dealing with the Chicago Fire and PD wouldn't hurt. It's so that we can get a bit more into these characters. But all in all, I'm in for the series. 

The other thing #2: Casey and Dawson are back together!!!! YEAH!!! And boy, did they miss each other. 

I loved and enjoyed this episode. It was the most intense episode so far that it had you holding your breath. I love these characters from Chicago Med; I thought that they were exciting, and one thing to point out is that I do wish and maybe hope that Dylan Baker would make an appearance. He was the guy who had us thinking of the Chicago Med spinoff. 

In the next episode, it looks like that Mils is leaving. What the heck, man? Being a paramedic is good enough for you? Also, the band is back together this coming April 28th, baby! That's when Fire, SVU, and PD become one in another star-stunning crossover event, and this time, it looks more significant than the last one in November. Who can't wait for this?

You can catch Chicago Fire on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC

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.
