Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Has a Birthday" & "Kimmy's in a Love Triangle" recap

In episodes nine and ten of the hilarious Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, we find Kimmy in a joyous mood as she's about to celebrate her 30th birthday. However, turning 30 and being an adult significantly differs from celebrating when she's 15. Plus, the two men in her life (besides Titus) will have to decide which one to date and which she can't see anymore.

"Kimmy Has a Birthday" 

Kimmy turns 30, and she hasn't had a real adult party. She's so excited to buy alcohol that she tries to buy some from a guy who has some in his van but is stopped when Titus arrives.

Complete with joy, Kimmy plans to have a fantastic party. Until her father comes, or step-father, with her sister Kymmi, who's jealous of Kimmy. Her stepfather was searching for Kimmy, but the only problem was that the man couldn't find anything or anyone. This character probably can't find the nose on his face.

Kimmy demands them to leave, but before they take off, her stepfather gives her a gift. It turned out to be a necklace of her mom with her and Kymmi's picture on it, and it had Kymmi storming out and leaving for Olive Garden.

Meanwhile, Titus figures out what to give Kimmy on her birthday. He tells her that she's written a song for her, but when he tries to come up with a song, he quits and finds a cute mummy unwrapping his costume.

As Kimmy gets ready, she has two men who want to give and be there for her: Dong and Logan. Logan gives Kimmy 30 gifts. One of the funniest scenes with them is when he calls and mentions that the iPhones are out. Just before they hang up, he tells Kimmy that they need to get the new ones before the older models fall apart, literally!

But with Dong and Logan at the party, it became a hilarious moment for the two of them. They try to fight, but no one can hit one another. Dong tries to kick him but lands through the wall, and Logan tries to boot but is stopped by Dong's hand holding the other.

Kimmy was furious and had everyone out. When Kimmy's step-dad shows up high on heroin, Kimmy figures out where Kymmi could be, and when they reach her at the Olive Garden, Kimmy tells Kymmi that she doesn't want her to hate her. She gives the necklace back to Kymmi and eats out.

When Kimmy gets back to the apartment, Titus gives Kimmy her gift, in which she has no clue of any songs before she was taken. So Titus performs the song "Fireworks."  Kimmy liked it but had some fundamental criticisms of the song. Poor Titus, but poor Katy Perry, right?


Kimmy did get an adult birthday party that had so much drama going on, but it was simply hilarious. Watching Dong and Logan fighting for Kimmy's love was just hysterical. Man, Titus indeed has some great taste in music. Also, not to mention that Kimmy and Kymmi look like they could be best friend sisters someday.

"Kimmy's in a Love Triangle" 

In this episode, Kimmy's sure in a real pickle when deciding who she wants to be in a relationship: Dong or Logan.

Logan has plans with her to meet his parents. But they end their conversation on the phone, and Kimmy tells Logan that she chose him as her boyfriend. The weird part was that he was horseback riding on a small horse, more of a phony.

In the meantime, Kimmy finds Dong but learns he's fired because the immigration people came and took everyone. Kimmy takes Dong in and has him spend the night at her place.

But all in, when Logan came to pick Kimmy up, he admitted that he was the one who called the immigration people and informed them about the illegal workers at the restaurant. Kimmy leaves Logan and finds Dong at the bus, but just before he agrees to stay, for him to survive, they'll have to get married. Yikes right?

But one of the best scenes throughout the episode was of Titus wanting to be Dr. Frankenstein at the restaurant, but when someone gets the part because he passes as straight. So Titus goes to a guy who teaches gay actors to be straight, and it turns out the guy is Dean Norris as M. La Loup, the straight coach.


It's that story in the episode that made it its best so far. I couldn't stop laughing when watching Titus learning, and going through those exercises was the best and funniest. 

I think that Kimmy and Dong could be a great couple. Heck, heck, they had a fantastic montage of Friends that they did and also the Breakfast Club as well. 

I give "Kimmy Has a Birthday" a 9/10 and "Kimmy's in a Love Triangle" a 10/10.  

The Hunt is On: Aquarius Season Premiere

It's probably one of the best new and exciting summer series on network television so far. Aquarius brings a lot more than just hunting Charlie Manson, it gives more stories around the hunting of Charlie Manson. In it's two hour premiere the episodes  "Everybody's Been Burned"/"The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game" give some surprises and even some historical moments.

In the first episode "Everybody's Been Burned" gives us an introudction to the characters that we're going to see. Emma sneaking out and into her boyfriend's car. They're off into a party when someone sees her and takes her from him. Four days later, Emma's mother calls her friend and Lieutenant Sam Hodiak (played by David Duchovny). 

Hodiak is an old school cop as he forces and gets questions ask. This isn't Agent Mulder but a buffer and edgy Mulder, but still cool. He goes investigating but gets held back due to the style and nature of what the late 60's has become. 

He finds a narc-cop Brian Shafe (played by Grey Damon) who just got miss-arrested. Hodiak talks to him and they become like old cop/new cop style. They have a style that you want in a cop drama series.

They hunt down and gets a name Charlie and later gets the full name Charlies Manson. They find where he hangs out but goes undercover and use a female cop as bate. But when one of Manson's top guys wanted to take her before meeting Charlie. Shafe takes him down as they go in the back. 

Relazing as the investigation in this missing person's case goes on, Manson's name is tied to a person who has gotten him out of trouble, which turns out to be Emma's father Kenneth Karn (played by Brian F. O'Byrne).

It's then we see Charlie meeting with him and has a bit of a meeting. He wants names of record producers and artist because he wants to be bigger than The Beatles. He threatens Ken and mentions his daughter but also as he grab him, had a razor held to his neck. Manson almost about to have sexual intercourse until a car comes by. 

That had to be one of the most weird and yet shocking moments of that episode. 

When the show continues with the next episode "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game." It introduce of what each episode will probably be from now til the end of the season. As Hodiak and Shafe looking for Emma another case winds up on their lap of a lady being murdered from head trauma. 

We got to see what Hodiak really was in this episode as he finds and makes more enemies for himself. A man who is dying from brain cancer tries to blame a murder to someone that lives in the neighborhood. Eventually, Hodiak saw it and to get him to confess to the murder, he had arrest a person who was interfering with his investigation.   That man goes by the name Bunchy and boy was he sure pissed when Hodiak was using him for bait.  He even though wasn't arrested and was release, he threaten Hodiak. 

In the meantime, Hodiak got the husband to confess on the murder of his wife. Hell, he even got him to think that he could walk off if he written down what he did. That's Hodiak I guess, a character playing the game. 

Shafe didn't like how Hodiak did that. They butted heads about it and than asked if he could give him a ride home. Shafe actually showed Hodiak his family, who's a mixed race family. After that Hodiak and Shafe go out and Hodiak ask if he still would help him find Emma. Looks like they're on the case. 

Manson on the other hand, had to teach Emma, who had no idea what to do for the group. He drops her off at a clothing store and tries to steal a coat for him but gets caught. Charlie comes in and takes care of the owner who loses his eyes. Yeah, the show's that dark.

As for Ken, running for office, throws a party for his campaign. He walks and spots Charlie right be hind him. They have a bit of a chat. Ken starts to lose it but when he drove over to Charlie's place, they have  much longer chat, more like kissing. Yes there's a relationship between them and almost to a surprise that Emma almost walked in. 

The series is a real dark drama that gives a good dose of historical moments during the timeline. The characters in the series seem to be both non-fictional and fictional. I'm pretty surprised that Charlie and Ken are both former lovers. I might not know a lot of Charlie Manson expect for the Manson Murders. 

I do love Duchovny in this series. He's like a buffed up, old style cop with a bit of Mulder in him. I like it and enjoy watching this character. I also think that maybe, just maybe that  the relationship between Hodiak and Emma's mother, Grace, would move up a to friend to maybe lovers. They seem to be not in a good marriage anyway. 

I'm looking forward to watching more of this series. For this two hour premiere, I give both episode a 9/10. I'm into it and can't wait to see the next episode. 

You can catch Aquarius Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC
And to watch the entire series you can go to nbc.com or download the nbc app.

The Surprise and Shocker:Chicago PD "Born Into Bad News" Season Finale

In this season finale of Chicago PD, there's nothing but intense, emotion and even a surprise or two that will have you stun.

So, Erin is not quite herself since Nadia's death. She's turn to her mother and got into a bit of a relationship with an old friend. That didn't turn out the way we hope.

Erin wakes up hangover, late to work as well. Voight and the retired Captain had a meeting about his nephew getting in some trouble with another task force.

When Voight gives the intelligence the download of the situation. Erin comes in late and after talking about the whole situation, Voight ask Erin to come in his office. He tells her that he needs her to be on top of things, notice that she's been late. She tells him that she's fine and is on top.

Voight has a plan to get these guys caught but is going to need Erin to be part of it. She goes and meets with the unit. She asked them a question that grills them. She tells them that Voight has a job for them to do. They meet with Voight at a bar and they agreed on the job.

Erin goes with the guys as Voight and the gang are watching from all four corners of the house. They go in and threaten the dealer of his money. He only had a few thousand dollars but it was when the dealers child come outs and the leader of the group puts a gun to the child's head and threatens.

Erin took to heart to stop this and shoots the guy. Voight and the rest head in and takes down the guys, getting them on taking money and selling drugs. The charges against the group of cops didn't stick because of Erin not being there and not taking the drug test because she would fail.

Worst part is that Bunny comes in the Station and ask for Erin because she has a gift for her, a photo of her and Nadia. Boy did Voight had her removed from the building. The lady just can't take a hint at all. Erin  is grieving and she's using that to get close to her.

Voight finds out about Erin when she came back. He relieves her from her duties and goes home.

Voight gets a phone call from the retired Captain. He tells him that he has his nephew and that they need to meet with him until a gang circles them and shoots them. The nephew comes out alive.

Voight and the gang takes a look around. He then talks with the nephew of what he's hiding, because the one of the guys mention an address that they hit. The nephew took some money.

The gang makes a moves in on a Latin drug kings, demanding on where these guys are hitting. They mention that they're going to take out a lady cop, which is  Erin.

Erin gets home with bag of grocery and her friend is there with beer and booze hoping to have some down time. When they go in, the gang is there and hits her friend in the head.  Erin is like totally cool and scared.

Atwater and Roman get there in time, Atwater takes out one in the leg and saves Erin. Just before that scene happen, you can see Erin just in like she's embarrassed with what's going on.

The leader apparently wasn't there and Voight makes a one ride there to his house and they have a meet and greet. The guy leaves out almost a million dollars on the table and throws a deal to Voight about taking half of it and letting him go. That wasn't going to happen. Voight gets him to put the cuffs on and he's off to jail.

Meantime, there's been some shocking moments that I've left out. One of them was that Al keeps getting phone calls and messages from a old friend that turned out to be an ex-lover when he was married. But he gets a phone call from a girl in jail, apparently her mother is the one he worked with and turns out that she is Al's daughter.

The other came near the final scene when Voight looking for Erin. She's at her mother's bar drinking a beer. Voight talks to her and tries to convince her to come with him. She's been thinking that she can't do the job anymore, that people that she has cared about have gotten hurt.

Even Bunny got on it too. Erin can't do the job no more. Voight tries to take her out and than demands that as her boss to get back to work but what she did was that she handed in her badge. And oh my god season three will be something...


I felt more compelling towards Erin in this episode. She's in a bad state of mind right now. The death of Nadia has really taken a toll on her and the meaning of her job. I think I speak with all fans of this show that we all care for her.

Also I have to mention that there might be a CPD Wedding with Ruzek purposing to Burgess. Well, at least something happy has come out of this episode, right?

I enjoyed this episode a lot. So much emotion with Linsey's story line and some intense scenes with Voight having a nice heated chat with one of the drug kings.

All in all, I give this season finale a 9/10. And as for overall this season, I give this season 9/10 as well because this season was full of character development and exciting stories that just takes my breathe away and blows my mind.


Chicago PD will return in the fall. You can catch episodes, clips and other things of Chicago PD at nbc.com.

Love and Rouge:The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Corner Store Crossfire" Season Finale

The season finale of The Mysteries of Laura shows not only that this is a police dramedy but also that it has some heart. The first 

In last week's shocking cliffhanger, Jake gets shot by an unknown robber. We cut to as Laura rushes to the hospital and demands to see Jake, as she's in a precarious state now. Laur Sees him as he exits the elevator and runs to him. Stop by the doctor; he tells her to wait in the waiting room and let him do his job, which she'll do for Laura.

Billy, Frankie, and Meredith are at the scene; Laura comes in and takes over by questioning the store clerk who saw it all.  Laura was determined to find Jake's shooter, even if she had to play a bit dirty.

The team arrested a DJ who had robbed a couple of other places. Billy and Laura questioned him and got him to spill some helpful information, even though he wasn't the shooter. They looked for the clerk at the shop but couldn't find him. But they did find his girlfriend, who's keeping their relationship on the down low because of his family. After she couldn't say much to Billy and Meredith, DJ was brought to talk to Laura, who was not in a perfect mood.

After spilling this, her boyfriend made a gun from the 3D machine and gave it to the shooter, asking for it. Billy and Meredith found the guy and got him to talk, but it was too late that he gave the gun to the shooter earlier.

They found the guy near the JFK airport at an auto shop. In that scene, Laura was bound to get answers and even took on a tall and big guy. But with him looking at another person, that gave Laura a hint that he's the guy. Of course, the guy ran but didn't get any further as Laura turned on the car wash machine and captured the guy.

It turned out later that he wouldn't use the gun but deliver it to another person. Someone was going to use it in the courthouse. They sweep the place until Laura knows and sees it through the security cameras of the person, a mother who lost her child to this guy on the trail.

Laura and the gang rush into the courtroom and talk to the mother down. Laura looked like she was relieved that this case was over. After the case, we see her talking with her dad about how she's been excellent as a single person and expects that she and Jake are divorcing.

Jake comes out of his coma; not only did he suffer from a gunshot to the chest, but suffered a head injury. He might not remember any after he says things like when Jake asked Laura to give him one last chance to be the husband and father he can be. Laura did admit that she still loves him. She tells her boyfriend that they might need a break, and he agrees and tells her that he'll be waiting.

Laura then comes in and sees how Jake doesn't remember that she brought his seat pillow to him. She walks out for a bit and sees everyone in the room that this family//this dysfunctional family is probably the best thing she has.

This episode starts quickly, like I saw in the previous episode, and then cuts to Laura in the ER. Emotions run high in the beginning for the first half hour. I couldn't get enough of Debra Messing's performance; she was in a more serious role.

It was a case of revenge from a mother who lost her child and wanted to take out the murderer that I didn't see coming.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10; it was perfect. Robert Klein came back as Laura's father, funnier than ever. It wasn't a disappointment at all.

Overall, this season, I think it's been one of the best new series in a while. I don't care what other people may say about it. This series is excellent as it is. I find it to be like that Saturday Evening Mystery show. It's a simple series that you can sit, relax and follow. Debra Messing is unique, and so is this cast.

The series will return in the fall regularly, on Wednesdays at 8/7c, still part of the Woman Crush Wednesday with Law & Order: SVU and Chicago PD.

David Letterman: A Late Night Icon

As the hours countdown to minutes and those minutes countdown to seconds, we're not that far away from saying goodbye to a true late night icon, David Letterman. 

David Letterman is a name that's been part of my life since I could really understand what Late Night was all about. I was around eight or nine-years of age when I first saw Letterman and the first impression that I got was that he looked a bit like my grandfather. Okay, maybe not to some but to the naked eye they do look alike.

When I first watched him, his jokes sounded angry and very sarcastic, but it was funny. He can make a joke into a conversation and it would be funny. If a bit doesn't go well, he can make it funny. 

I've watched the Late Show during my childhood. I always stayed up til watch the Top Ten List or even when he was making funny of Dr. Phil and he had a segment called Dr. Phil's Words of Wisdom and it would just be hilarious. Hell, I would tape it and memorized it for class the next day and yes I did say what they played.

His style of comedy help me open up a bit and surprised mostly when I was in school. I was never a talkative person and using comedy kind of help open that wall of hiding and being afraid. I looked up to Letterman and also Jay Leno too for any comedy idea from their show and style.

And I can't forget another of Letterman's segments, Rupert Jee and his deli, who couldn't forget the things that Dave had him do. Oh my god, just think that Dave started that, not Ellen, even though she does it with celebrities.  

Letterman isn't just a late night hose or a television personality, he's an icon. With Leno gone (one of my favorites too) that only left Letterman to be the top guy and only top guy America knows and understands. With the Jimmys and Colberts and all, there's no one that's quite like Dave and there will probably never will be one ever.

That one or many things that I would take from watching Letterman is that he's one of the best communicators on television. He's such a great interviewer, asking the hard questions, the questions that are the most interesting and questions about his guests life and work. That what makes Dave great. 

Not to mention that when something bad has happen in the world like 9/11, Dave was there to give us some prospective of this tragic event. He's like our father figure.

And not forgetting that he created "Late Night" on NBC. He changed the landscape of late night television, creating that was opposite of what Carson's Tonight Show was then. Doing stupid and silly stuff was and still is smart, given way to three host of the franchise: Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.

Now that time is running ever so closure, truly it's an end of an era on late night.  I was too young when Carson left, I cried when Leno left for the second time and now this could be another tear-jerking night. 

The Foo Foo Fighters will be the show's last musical guest. I have a feeling that somehow the Top Ten List will be of Letterman's close celebrity friends with a musical twist. The one thing I wish might happen but it would be a long, long, long shot that near the end after Letterman gives his final goodbye that his once best friend Jay Leno comes out, they shake hands and hug each other and Jay says to Dave, "Ready?" And they walkout as the two late night knights that they are. 

As I said, that a very long shot. 

Thanks Dave, your comedy has helped me through the rough times and the good times. A real showmanship, a comedian, a TV personality, a icon.  No other words can describe losing him expect, Thanks Dave!!

Chaos and Emotions are Everywhere: The Night Shift: Season Finale

This short recap is on the two episode season finale of The Night Shift. In this two-part episode, the night shifters not only deal with chaos in the ER but also in personal relationships and even dealing with a deadly sniper that's targeting the Night Shifters.

In the first episode, "Sunrise, Sunset" Topher and TC are over in Afghanistan trying to save and treat a friend that needs a new heart. The task of course is one hell of a dangerous missions, but TC does everything to get Topher's friend even if he has to treat him in the line of fire. 

In the meantime, Paul and Krista have a  bit of a competition between one another when a call comes in about an car accident and needed two doctors. Jake and Paul out there and when Paul sees a victim stuck in  car that on fire. Paul goes to do what TC does and well causes his hand to get burned very badly. So badly that he was recommend to treating patients in and out. 

Jordan, who's pregnant, dealing with a lot of stuff on this shift, one of them being that TC is over seas and the other a patient, who's a dropout to take care of her brother, who's also not happy with her. Taking care of this family really pushed her to help one another. But after treating her, Jordan talked with Scott who just settle with a father and son after a mistake from previous episode. 

But than as Jordan and Scott talk, Jordan collapse and that's what brings us to the next episode. 

In the episode "Darkest Before Dawn" we jump just a couple of minutes after previous episode. Topher and TC are back with Topher's friend and TC is on the edge to get to Jordan.

Jordan was not responsive but was breathing fine. Scott tells TC that she had a stroke and that it might be the cause from the pregnancy. TC and Scott does everything they could to save both Jordan and the baby. 

Meanwhile, Topher and Scott try to get his friend up to transplant to get his new heart but there's an issue, he was spiking a 101 temperature. They try to find what's wrong with him and turns out that it was an bacteria or infection but it was his blood that needed plasma. 

What Topher had done, has probably cause his marriage to go on the rocks. His wife comes tot he hospital and gives it to him that she's sick and tired of this crap. But later even though she's still mad, she picked him up and they drove to their daughter's recital.

The big story line was of the sniper, Jake and Gwen are in the line of fire of where the cops are at and soon they got the guy. The shooter was crazy enough to do crazy things. He even mention that there was a second shooter and there was when Jake and Gwen was treating him on scene. 

Ragosa and Paul got to treat this outside patient that came in because she was pushed out from a shelter and that she's homeless that lived in her car. But from what we thought she was at the beginning, she turns out to be the shocking second sniper. She tired to take a stab at an officer in the ER but that was stopped by Ragosa. But as soon as Ragosa and Paul realized who she really was, they found her in a pool of blood on the floor, stabbed herself. She was saved. 

But as for TC and Jordan, it took a turn for the worst. We got to see flashbacks of when, where and how they met, their first date and the break up. TC got a bit of dose of reality here and even pulled out the ring that he was going to purpose. 

Scott had performed surgery on Jordan after a turn for the worst. Scott saved Jordan but not the baby. TC was a mess and broke down. Jordan did wake up and TC held Jordan and talked. Jordan mentions that she overheard him talking about purposing. And after that he pulls out the box and shows her, he ask her and she says..... 

Well, we'll have to wait til season three to find out.

I thought that overall this season had a mixture of more relationship stories  and medical stories. It was a more balanced out than the first season. I really enjoyed this season. 

There were some great performances from Jill Flnt and others. Some really good guest stars from Trace Adkins and even the First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden. 

I can't wait to see what season three will bring. Hopefully there will be a yes at the beginning of the scene of he season opener. This is literally one of the first medical drama that I've enjoyed since the days of ER and House. But I shouldn't leave out Royal Pains too. 

You can catch episodes of The Night Shift on NBC.com.
