The X-Files 'I Want To Believe' promo





On Thursday, FOX aired a new promo for The X-Files that's coming this January 2016.

It's only a few seconds of footage but it does give some excitement of what to look forward like the "I Want To Believe" poster that's walked on on the floor.

Here's the promo.

You can catch the premiere of The X-Files as they return Sunday, January 24, 2016 right after the NFL NFC Championship on FOX.

Family Matters with or without Demons: Wednesday Night Summer Drama




Suits: ""No Puedo Hacerlo" 

When it comes to family, it matters no matter what your position is as a lawyer.

As Lewis gets a visit from his beautiful sister about a legal issue, she asks him to get her Harvey. Of course, Lewis and Harvey aren't in good terms but even though it's unethical he goes and ask Harvey.

Harvey takes the case but didn't realize that he had already met her early that day. Learns that this case is a divorce but also fair share. After the first meeting, Harvey has his client come clean about it and they discuss it.

After talking, they get to the bottom of it and as Harvey realize that this should not be about money at all. This is after he was looking at Donna across the glass window. After his client agreed to the terms, they went out for drinks.

Mike on the other hand, can't let the insurance lawsuit go. As he and his future father-in-law tackle it together. There will be butted heads in this one, no doubt about it. Mike doesn't like the offer and tries his very best to find a loop and get a better deal. There was no way of fixing it but Mike did save his father-in-law from a bad business idea.

The one thing taking away from this episode was that Harvey has accepted that Donna is gone. As soon as he talks with Lewis about the lawsuit agreement and Lewis tells him and his sister. Harvey goes up to Donna and thanked her for 12 great years. He finally accepted it and walks away. Heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

This episode was intriguing and very good. The fight between Mike and Rachel's father was really good, plus seeing Lewis' sister was completely surprising.

Overall I give this episode to 8/10.

You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on USA



Mr. Robot: "eps1.2d3bug.mtv"


In one of it's most bazaar episodes yet, demons do follow you no matter if you're good or not.

As the project to take down Evil Corp's company, Elliot has this idea on how to go in without killing anyone and blowing it up. But there's one issue, he's a bit high and need more of his morphine for help. His now addiction has got the best of him and held the plan for another day pissing off some of the other guys.

As Mr. Robot tries to get him off the drug, Elliot  goes through some crazy stuff from thinking that he's getting high, getting shot and even trying to show his monster side. He's demons got the best of him and after a good while of the episode of him going through a lot of hallucination.

Meanwhile Angela and Shayla spend some time with one another, walking Elliot's dog and even going out and party. Hell, Shayla gives Angela a little something and had a real moment. I was amazed by how those two were in this episode. Both important women of Elliot's are having spending time.

Elliot does get over the rough stuff and there was a moment when he was alone that he was scared. But Mr. Robot comes out of the shadows and tells him that he's not alone. One of the guys mix a drink for Elliot that he has to drink more than seven of them.

As I said before, this episode was bazaar but it was well crafted a well. Even if there was sliver lining out there, the lining might not be all that pleasant as demons from past or present does creep back up to you.

Overall, I give this episode 9/10. If was so well done.

You can catch ?Mr. Robot" Wednesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network

The Unexpected of the Unexpected: Stitchers "The Root of All Evil"




The unexpected was clearly unexpected in this week's episode of "Stitchers."

Probably one of the most shocking moments in this episode (I should say two) was that we get to learn that Kristen has a boyfriend. They have this long distance relationship and everyone from Camille to Maggie was in shock.

I will say this that Scagilotti's performance in this was hilarious. She's amazing at what she does to make a scene humorist. When she's first introduce to the guy, she goes gaga all over and throughout the episode still does and has some fun with Kristen.

For the case of the week, a Jane Doe is found and as Kristen looks into her memory to find out who she is and who killed her. Just remember that the first time they stitch is not always the best. Kristen thought the girl was rich but than sees she lives in a rented apartment.

Mistakenly taken that she lived in the mansion, they interviewed the couple that live in the house. The husband gives a sense that he might have been the guy, but another surprise comes.

I should say that the scene between Kristen's boyfriend and Cameron was little funny. I don't think that Cameron should feel bad about himself after seeing the guy's ab's.

Okay I mention that there might have been one or two but now it's three. There was three surprises that was unexpected in this episode the other is a marriage proposal.

Not to forget that when Camille told Maggie and all them about Kristen's boyfriend, Maggie had her snoop into the guy. Of course she calls the mysterious guy to look into it because, in a photo with Kristen's boyfriend.

There were surprises and some good humor in this episode. I'm learning a little bit of Kirsten and boy was I surprised with her boyfriend coming in.  Scagilotti, I think stole the episode with her comic humor.

All in all, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday night at 9/8c on ABC Family.

Aquarius and Hannibal Moving to Saturdays


Today as it was first reported by Wall Street Journal media reporter, Joe Flint, on twitter that the NBC Thursday series "Aquarius" and "Hannibal" are moving to Saturdays. TVLine.com has confirmed the report.

Since Hannibal was recently cancelled, it makes sense to burn off the rest of the episodes has it did with "Smash." But it doesn't quite make any with "Aquarius" as it was picked up for a second season.

Flint also reported that the reason for the changes is that the "appease (NBC) affiliates not happy with their numbers."

When "Aquarius" premiered in May, it averaged 5.7 million in total with a 1.0 rating. By it's most recent July 3rd episode, the numbers had sink to 2.4 million/0.4.

"Dateline Thursday Mysteries" will take over the 9/11pm time slot that was once held by Aquarius and Hannibal stating this Thursday. With "Aquarius" airing Saturdays a 9/8c then followed by "Hannibal" at 10/9c.

Sherlock's Special teaser




Just last week, a teaser was released for the upcoming Christmas special of Sherlock. From the looks of it, it will take place at the time when Sherlock once lived back in Victorian times. This would be a great special, taking Holmes and Watson.


Hell, I get a kick out of watching Miss. Hudson and Watson arguing about the stories that he's written. That he had to grow a mustache so people can recognize him. Yeah John, the only way people will recognize you is by your mustache.

Here's the teaser.

The Special will be it's own thing and won't be part of the fourth series. I don't know if this will air on Christmas on PBS. It would be awkward if it did with Sherlock and Doctor Who airing at the same time. But it would be great to have them air in one night back to back with each other too.
