Look I'ts Supergirl!!!
Checkout the trailer for Supergirl that will come to CBS on Monday nights this November.
I'm very much liking it so far. I can't wait to see where this story will be going. Calista Flockhart looks amazing and totally badass as Cat Grant, Kara's boss.
Melissa Benoist looks very cool and interesting as Kara Zor-El. She looks a bit like Barbara Gordon, which I hope those two meet later on if this series goes far.
Jimmy Olsen is in this series as well. And is best friends with Superman that he gives Kara the blanket that came with him when he was a baby in that space shuttle, which will turn into Supergirl's cape.
I'm looking forward to this series. This will be on the same time as Gotham that's on FOX but the difference is that at least we get to see the superhero. As I said before I can't wait to see where this series will go. What villains will she face and issues that will follow.
This show will be on my list to watch this fall and probably on my DVR.
Supergirl debut on Monday nights this fall to CBS.
UPDATE: CBS has announced that the series premiere will air Monday, Oct. 26 at 8:30/7:30c right after an episode of "Big Bang Theory" and then will move to it's regular time Monday, Nov. 2nd at 8/7c.
Realizing and Wondering: Chicago Fire "Spartacus" Season Finale
In the season finale of Chicago Fire, there are twists and turns, a few surprises, and a cliffhanger with us asking one question. Let's take a look.
Since Rice had come to House 5,1, there has been tension between Truck and Squad; Otis thinks that Rice has been ducking during scenes, and Sevride doesn't like him since Rice is one of his best long-time friends.
During a call about gas leaking in the house, Squad goes in when the place is unreliable and could explode. They go in, and Otis also goes in and turns off the gas. Severide gets in and out quickly. The elderly lady who lives there and her dog are also there.
After, Boden was not too pleased with what happened. Things get a bit intense between Squad and Truck, and as they return to the house, Otis decides to sit at Squad's table.
That pissed off Severide and the Squad, but they left to get gas for the truck. Casey wasn't too pleased with what the rest were doing. But they were taking a stand. Cruz seemed to be and didn't join until Otis told him to sit with them.
Meanwhile, Casey talks with Boden, along with Antonio and Voight Ab, outgoing undercover, to bring down Jack and his prostitute trafficking. This is after their first attempt, which went well. Boden allowed it and shook hands with each other. But not watching out; someone was watching them from a distance, Jack.
Casey goes back to the club and talks to Jack. He doesn't seem pleased at all. They talk, and Jack wants to know if he's been talking with PD about anything. After Casey gives him his world, he doesn't enjoy it. They shake hands, and Jack tells Casey to come back tomorrow. But as Katia was going to walk Casey out, Jack wanted to speak with her.
Chillie and Herrmann's product has finally been made. Chilies Champagne was a hit at the house, giving Herrmann an idea of who to sponsor it. Scottie P...n. This might be Scottie's second appearance on a Chicago-based TV series since ER during season two.
After a heated talk with Casey, Severide discovers that Rice had lied about the hihasroken mask. Kelly conf confronts Rice with Boden. Rick explains that he's scared of losing, which might be okay but isn't. So Rice is gone, and a surprise announcement comes that Cruz is now a member of Squad. Shocking, right? Wait, there's more.
After a call about a warehouse fire, everyone is on deck. Otis is now the driver for Truck 81. Two firefighters and two workers are trapped. When Dawson goes in, one is out the window; she doesn't escape.
She dragged the other victim, but soon, she would be out of oxygen. Boden boldly moves to go back in there and save not just Dawson but Severi, who was there to save Dawson. Then Severide's oxygen ran out. Trying to stay alive, they take slips from the water hose, but soon, the fire chief decides to shut down the hose and hose the building.
Cruz makes a bold stand, so he threatens what he does. He does, but Boden gets to Dawson and Severide on time and gets out safe.
Asafelye'se team returned to the house, and the Fire Captain awaited the firefighter who threatened a chief. Cruz admitted, but then Otis followed by everyone else. It was a real Spartacus moment.
After that t, there was a party at Molly's. Everyone was celebrating until Chile and Herrmann saw the commercial for their product, which wasn't good. Someone else stole her idea. But Herrmann calmed her down and encouraged her not to give up. This might be a good case for Chicago Law to come in.
As the party continued, Dawson, who hadn't been feeling well, didn't like the smell of pickles. But she realized, and we all learned, something was up. She goes back home and takes a pregnancy test. When she sees the results, he runs to Casey's place, where the door opens. She goes in and sees that everything is dark; there seems to be a fight with a lamp on the floor, and he sinks running water.
But she soon finds Katia on the field. The shocking part is, Where is Casey? That's the question we want to know. This isn't suitable for Dawsey right now.
,tion: Brett and Roman hook up after she had an intense event during that warehouse fire.
Overall, this was one of the best season finales. At least no one went into a building, and it exploded. We don't have to worry about everyone but just one, Casey. There were excellent tied ends to some storylines; more interesting ones will come when the new season starts. I give this episode 9/10.
As for the overall season, this was their best season. The writing was superb, hitting every note a television show could hit. We started with an emotional death to trying to move on; relationships take a tumble, one decides to leave, and a shocker in one connection. This was a perfect 10/10.
I know that show fans are happier that the new season starts in November. I know it's a long wait, but the waiting makes it better—more hype. Heck, start talking about the show throughout the summer to get folks time to explore the exhibition.
You can catch the new season of Chicago Fire in November.

Avengers Age of Ultron
If there's one word to describe the Avengers: Age of Ultron it would have to be INCREDIBLE!!! This second Avengers movie comes on strong and leaves me wanting more. I literally didn't want it to end.
First off there should now be a massive fan base for James Spader. The guy was amazingly awesome as Ultron. I loved every freakin scene that Ultron was in and yet I didn't want him to die. I felt bad for the character.
We each got to see each Avenger's back story, mostly Black Widow, which is one of two of my favorite Avengers characters along with Captain America. This is just me but I think that Cap and Widow would make a good couple. It was just what I've seen and feel after Winter Solider.
The best scene of the whole movie was when the Hulk went bonkers and Iron Man had to calm him down. Putting on the Hulkbuster, it turned out to be a real rumble in the jungle. Loved when Iron Man kept punching Hulk many times and saying "go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep."
And then as he picked him up and begin to fly out, Hulk deferred to a hotel building. After saving the folks in the elevator, Iron Man uses the elevator and hits the Hulk and then punches him in the face. And the look that he gave Iron Man and spit a tooth out. Iron Man quietly says "I'm sorry." The best reaction of the film.
Even before seeing the movie, I learned the Quicksilver was going to die. But if I didn't know about that I would assume that Hawkeye would die because we saw his family and that this was going to be his last time in battle. Usually that's a give away.
Also I can't leave out the first scene of the movie, the fight sequence. Oh my god!! That was totally freaking amazing. I've never seen anything like it, maybe on a animated movie or so but not like this. LOVED IT!!
Overall, I love the film a lot. I even saw it a second time with m brother and we couldn't stop talking about it. He's much of a Marvel fan than I am as I'm between both Marvel and DC Comics type of guy.
I can't wait for Captain America: Civil War. My brother think it's going to be amazing and hopes to see Spiderman in it. I can't wait either.
I thought it was a great movie. I give it a 9/10. I really couldn't find any issue with the movie at all. I think that this might be the best Avengers out of the first one. As I said before I can't wait to see the next movie.

The Unexpected Turn: The Blacklist "Karakurt"
It's one of the most unexpected twist so far this season and yet next week is the season finale. When Liz and the FBI are hunting for man known as Karakurt who plots to use a dead virus, the hunt could be someone in the FBI.
This blacklister is probably one of it's deadest so far. Karakurt is on a mission to take down a senator by using a deadly made virus that will only take on one person. But when Liz and the team get close enough to get him, Connolly threatens Cooper to mislead the team or his wife will suffer.
That misleading information lead to Liz getting suckertackle or blindsided at the Union Station. But whoever it was that took her down was gone.
If Cooper had a chose, he knew what he was getting into when he got that medical treatment trail from him. As Red told Cooper that he lost her moral.
But that did change as soon as they knew where Karakurt was going, Cooper talked to Connolly about it.
Given him the scare that he knows the target and will stop it. Of course Connolly showed some worry but brushed it off.
In one intense moment of the episode, Liz and Ressler looking for Karakurt, who was in disguised to be an photojournalist. When Liz spots him about to shake hands with the senator and runs and stops it.
She gets him in the car with Ressler, just when you think that the senator is save under their hands, all of the sudden the senator somehow caught the virus.
With Karakurt in the FBI's hands, Russler and Liz talk to him and gives them nothing. Apparently he is clean with no virus in his bloodstream.
When Red got word of the virus but also talked to an all friend about what he knew about Liz's mother. He tells Red that two other guys called him and asked about her.
That's when Red called Liz and told her that she needs to leave the FBI Post Office now. Liz is carrying the virus and that Connolly and his men are on the way to get her. Freaky, right?
It was Red that was being hunted but now the tables have turn on Liz. This has to do with Liz and her mother, who was a KGB agent.
Now Liz is on the run and from what the promo shows, this looks like the season finale that everyone will be talking about all summer. Here's the promo: The Blacklist season finale "Masha Rostova"
You can catch the season finale of The Blacklist next Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.

The Step Up and Downfall: Wednesday Night Drama
The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Crooked Clubber"
This week's episode takes Laura and the gang in searching for the murder of a young man that was part of a robbery of the rich and famous. This case really took everyone for a ride.Laura and Billy examine the dead victim and when there was a clue of substance in the victim's shoe, Laura had some idea where that might have lead to. Laura discusses to Jake about going to this club that the rich people or kiddies go to. But when discussing it, Frankie wanted to go and as they get there both Frankie and Laura dressed up as 80's teens that are about to go to a party.
But as Laura when looking, Frankie saw the bartender give something to someone so she investigated that by asking him for a drink and a good time. The guy soon gave her her water but soon admitted that he put something in it and soon Frankie was a totally different person. Laura soon put her in jail for a night so Jake wouldn't find out.
The case when left and right at times but when they figure out when was the next bank robbery, they got in front of it and had Frankie and Meredith working the jewelry shop. The two robbers showed up and both Frankie and Meredith couldn't do anything due to a hostage. But Laura came in with a plan and drove the van into the building having both of them arrested.
The two robbers turn out to be were questioned until they didn't want to talk. Which gave Billy and Jake the perfect time to go get lunch. Billy brought a Subway lunch to one of the robbers and left them alone. Soon they were arguing about confessing until Frankie showed up and asked for the robber's cell phone.
That almost ruin the whole thing until it really didn't. It gave Laura on who did it which turned out to be the victim's own brother that killed him. The brother was ashamed as his brother for what he was doing, going to parties and dressing up weird.
I thought that this episode was pretty good. We did get to see Frankie and Laura together in this episode and Frankie who is was Wisconsin, wants to show Laura that she can be a better detective than we all assume.
All in all I give it a 7/10 this week. There was a lot of humor, twist and hunger with that Subway.
You can catch The Mysteries of Laura Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC
Chicago PD "There's My Girl"
After the events of last week's episode, it's hard to come to terms of a lost of a member of the team.
This week's episode deals with a bombing in a neighborhood, the CPD went to investigate it and found nothing much, but Jay knows a witness that seen it all but she's only 12.
The teams learns that the bomb was made out of same material as was the bomb used at the Boston Bombing. They soon get a suspect. As they went to the suspect's apartment, both Erin and Jay see the suspect and chase after him.
After chasing him for a good mile and one hell of a joy ride I would love to have been in, they caught the guy. Atwater and Dawson interviewed him. As Dawson left, Atwater talked to him and soon left to give him time to think it over.
It was until Voight goes in and sees the suspect had cut his throat with a soda can that Atwater left in there. This isn't looking good for Atwater at all.
Later on, Mouse found out that someone had planned it and it turns out to be the guy who was looking for his wife at the time but later on in the episode his wife died. The team learned the guy's history on how his first wife died in a car accident that he set up. So Voight had him in the cage and boy did he give him one heck of a talk. But the guy confess of doing it.
Throughout this episode, Trudy has been trying and waiting to get an accepted order for Nadia's memorial stone. When she got word that the department is going to allow it. Boy did she showed her temper but also emotion as well. She really and I mean really left the Chief had it but the guy said no.
She talked to Voight and had Roman and Burgess go get a file for him at a warehouse, which had information on the Captain and one of it was his little special time with a showgirl. Well, that turned it around and Nadia got her memorial stone.
But I think the main part of this episode was about Erin and her dealing with the lost of her best friend that she had saved. She acts tough, she's sad but acts tough about it. She even let Halstead drive the car because Nadia told her that she should let him drive.
After the case and after the memorial, she was invited to go to Molly's with Jay and them but she didn't go there at all. She went to her mom's bar, talked to her and started having shots. She admits to her mother that she was the one that got Nadia killed. Oh she's in a very dark place and this is what Voight was talking to her about back at the house.
She's not even suppose to be near her mother at all. Erin is going into a deep dark place. She's going to be thinking about what she's going do next: be a cop or leave?
All in all, I loved this episode. This was such an emotional episode of the aftermath of Nadia's death. I think it was Trudy that kind of stole the emotional scenes. Just seeing her act like that was something you don't think or see of her at all. I give this episode 9/10 overall.
You can catch Chicago PD Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC

The Men and Honor: Tuesday Night Comedy & Drama
Undateable "A Live Show Walking Into the Bar"
ER, The West Wing, Will & Grace, 30 Rock, and now Undateable is part of the history of shows to do a live episode. But it was a first for a sitcom to air a whole hour's worth, and it wasn't a disappointing hour.
Justin, still upset about his ex-girlfriend getting married, outcomes in Amanda (Victoria Justice), and soon he and Henny fight over each other to go out with her. Plus, Candice tries to stand her ground on her ex-boyfriend.
It was one of the most hilarious episodes in a long time. I think they surpassed the number of guest stars that 30 Rock has had. Not only Justice makes a camo, but Ed Sheeran, Zach Braff, Donald Fusion, Kate Walsh, Minnie Driver, Christa Miller, Scott Foley, and many, many more.
There are significant insult bits between Danny and Justin. Even when Danny acted like a wombat over Justin to prove he couldn't get Amanda to go out with him. It was soon that Danny would walk and sound like a wombat which also meant that he pretended to throw poop at Justin, not once but twice.
There were great moments, like seeing Braff and Fusion together again. Ed is performing, but Justin kicks him out; I didn't realize. Ed got upset, and soon, Ed fans came out and slapped Justin for what he did to Ed.
But it was seeing Justice and Bridgit together and singing the song "Undateable" at the end, which was just amazing.
This episode did have an arc to it that will be discussed in next week's episode: Candice might have feelings for Justin. Uh oh!!!
You can catch the one-hour season finale of Undateable next Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.
Chicago Fire "Category 5"
This week's episode of Chicago Fire deals with an accusation of a Squad member ducking during a call. That has gotten a separation between both Truck and Squad.
With Otis's accusation about Rice ducking during a season, Severide isn't too pleased about what's been going on. Later, things became the way it was when we first saw this group of firefighters after the death of their own.
There was a separation between them that you see in high school. But I think that after Severide and Casey talked to Boden about it, it didn't quite go as it did under Casey's view when Severide agreed that he should take more control of it.
Boden did get to talk to Otis about it but asked him if he needed a vacation. Otis tells him no, but then Boden lets him have it with him having a gut feeling about a firefighter ducking calls.
Severide did confront Rice about it, and now that friendship between them is gone.
In the meantime, Casey gets a gift from Jake, who hopes he returns and agrees to do some business. The best gift came when Voight stopped by to ask Casey for help to get some information about Jake. Voight has info that Jake is in some illegal trafficking.
At first, Casey was like, hell no, but after Dawson talked to him about it. He agrees, and I hope to let the past be the past between Voight and him.
Just as he agrees, he takes a cell phone that Mouse gives him, and as soon he sees one of Jake's girls with a worried look. Casey sees Jake and is introduced to the guys. But before any talks, one guy asks to see his cell phone, which goes black screen.
Next week is the season finale of Chicago Fire, which is the one not to miss. From what the promo shows, it will be a jaw-dropping episode. I don't think anyone will die because that's what one of the producers said in an interview.
You can catch the season finale of Chicago Fire next Tuesday at 10/9c on NBC.

The Threat Is Here: The Blacklist "Quon Zhang"
Let's start with Liz, who found a photo of what is her swing with a person but the face is hard to see who it is because the sunlight makes it bright. Liz is determine to find answers and with the help of Tom she gets a bit close until the name Bill Kreshaw comes in.
Bill Kreshaw is a name that Red uses and when she goes back to Red's apartment, she goes all freaky talking to what she thinks is a recording somewhere in the room. She finds it in the small clock and soon Red calls her. Red tells her that it's her mother in the photo with her and not to mention that her mother and father was a KGB agents. And the reason why her mother died or one of the reasons was that she was weak of all the regret she has done.
That pretty much set Liz into an emotional state and goes to Tom for comfort.
Cooper doesn't want to be part of this dirty politics as the new State Attorney tries to tell him how to handle of the events of last week's episode. He wanted Cooper to leak stuff to the newspaper. Cooper doesn't want to do it but too late due to hi wife doing that to save him.
The new state attorney tells Cooper that this thing is bigger than what it is. So I guess we better get our seats ready for the next two weeks.
This week's blacklister is known as The Smuggler or Quon Zhang. From China, he seeks revenge on the person who has killed someone and hunts and kills them. HE has this kind of ceremony type of thing. He gets caught by Liz and Russler, but when he talks to Liz, he tells her that there's an agent that is a threat.
Liz and the gang expected this agent in a couple of days or weeks but Zhang tells them that the agent is already in the states. This is the threat and by the way, he came in a coffin. So there you go!
And I can't end this without talking about Red because it's mostly about him, right? Red is recuperating after last week's injury. He's doing rehab by walking. Let me just say he has that Don Corleone and Ultron thing when he walks. He seems tied and weak but still the same Red as we always knows.
Anyway, he's trying to find a man name Kenneth Jasper, who works with The Director. Red takes Jasper and has him in a room, has a bit of fun wit him. Samar comes and helps. Red had Jasper's tongue taken out and sent to The Director by mail. Playing more of a game that will lead to more and more threats.
I enjoyed this episode a lot. I mostly enjoyed the part when Red tells Dembe the plan to go out and destroy Jasper's boat. It was so good the way it went that it felt like a scene from Oceans 11.
Next week's episode: someone or somewhere will be under attack and who or what it will be who will know but in this promo it just leaves me wanting to see it now. And the creator of the show told me on Twitter that these last two episodes will be "implosion."
You can catch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.
