The Twist in the Tooth: Blindspot "Bone May Rot"


The risk of the world is on Taylor's face, as the Weller and the team try to stop a weaponize virus from spread throughout the world.

As Jane Doe learned that she's Taylor Shaw, her and Kirk talks about it in a session with the FBI therapist, but nothing much was actually prepossessing expect that we've learn from Kirk that he was there when she was kidnapped or he was supposed to be watching her. After that the session ended.

Patterson, one that brings a bit of humor to the series, gets a little help from her boyfriend solving one of the tattoo puzzles. This one with two leaves together making a sign that is to the CDC where it's on the corner of two known leaves.

That help give the Kirk and the team, that includes Taylor, to go over to the CDC and check things out. But as soon as they get into their contamination room, a three numbers of codes where written on Taylor's face under ultraviolet light.

Those codes are of the highly contaminated viruses that they locked down in their Level 4 area, which is directly in the same building where they are in. With Kirk and Taylor going down to Level 4, Reade and Zapata stay and asked questions.

Taylor and Kirk along with one of the scientist finds out that one of each container is missing from its box. That was until someone pulled a called a lockdown in the building.

Kirk had a moment waiting for the lockdown to be over. He kind of freaks out being in cooped in a room for a longtime. The lockdown took more than two hours but soon that it was lifted, Reade and Zapata gets word to talk to Rebecca who was the one that started the lockdown took the vials of deadly diseases and set them in a suitcase at the airport. They couldn't catch Rebecca by the time they caught her, she killed herself and her husband.

The episode got intense when Kirk, Taylor and everyone tired to find the suitcase at the airport. As the everyone was evacuating the airport, they soon found the suitcase. As Reade, Taylor and Zapata get back to contamination, only Kirk stayed. As the head of CDC makes it in there to help, Kirk gets word from Patterson that the CDC guy is not  but as the fight goes on, Taylor comes in and taglines with Kirk and knocked the guy down.

Once again, that scene was totally awesome. Kirk battles and than here comes Taylor and bam bam bam knocked out. There's something between these two that just seem so great with chemistry.

I was amazed how Reade gave a compliant to Taylor. But also talks about how he's not worried about how she does on the field but how Kirk is acting with her along. He explains that before, he was the guy that pulled crazy stuff in a split second, but until Taylor came, he's been careful.

But a twist at the end sets up more questions, Patterson talked to Kirk in private. Patterson tested the tooth that was left at the safehouse, she tested it and it come out that this was a baby tooth and that she was born in Africa. Kirk didn't believe it that he knows where she was born at, because he was there when they brought her home. Apparently Taylor Shaw isn't Taylor Shaw, so she's back as Jane Doe. The twist from the tooth.

And meanwhile Mayfair is getting pressure from CIA Tom Carter for him to meet with Jane. He needs to know that no one else knows what project Daylight is about, which seems like he wants to do something to her.

This episode wasn't disappointing at all. There was some intense scenes and of course some shockers that Jane isn't really Taylor Shaw. It seems that Kirk and Taylor work very well off on one another. I can't see where this is going and with a full season pick up something tells me that this season is going to have some really good moments.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode. 

You can catch Blindspot Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC

Heart to Heart: Sunday Night Comedy & Drama

Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Boyle's Hunch" 

Love is in the air for Boyle when he meets a beautiful lady at court, while he and Jake are waiting for a case.
Boyle meets Genevieve Mirren-Carter (played by Mary Lynn Rasjskub) hit it off well with Boyle but she had to go into court but by the time she came  out, Boyle was going to ask her out. The problem is that she's serving ten years in prison for fraud.

Boyle, who's upset about Genevieve going to jail, determines to investigate the case with the help of Jake by his said. The two interview her and talked about her boyfriend, an artist who's having a gallery showing. Jake and Boyle head towards the gallery showing undercover.

They not only talked to the ex-boyfriend but it was his secretary that looked odd and not that she was in latex, but that she was glad that her boss' ex-girlfriend's stuff can be taken.

But on the bright side of this storyline, Jake solved the case that it was the secretary. Jake did it for Boyle, which was very nice and buddy cop like.

Meanwhile Rosa was upset that someone's been eating her ice cream and tells Terry who she thinks it is, Hitchcock and Scully. But Terry and Rosa couldn't prove it, so they interrogated them a but but they also tested the spoon sample that was left in the trash. The two did confirm that they ate it by running towards the bathroom. Let's just say it's not a good win for Rosa and Terry when Hitchcock and Scully go running towards the bathroom.

And Captain Holt wants Amy to be the face of the NYPD to show that they care. Gina doesn't think it was a great idea and she was right. Amy brought a poster that had artwork done and it wasn't pretty. Holt did fix it with a poster of how they can help and an email address.

This episode was very good. I thought that the Jake and Boyle story. I couldn't get enough of Boyle and Genevieve talking to one another. Those two could hit it off. Also Rosa and Terry are hilarious little storyline about the ice cream. I love it when Rosa gets upset. I didn't care much for the Holt, Amy and Gina storyline. It was funny at times but more of a light humor story.


Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine Sunday nights at 8:30/7:30c on FOX.

CSI: Cyber "Heart Me" 

Two cases, one solved and it's all about one thing: revenge.

Raven and her friend, Marcie hangout at a club one night. While there Marcie get's asked by a guy named Holden, who liked her very much but was turned down as she lied to him about having a boyfriend.

But that wouldn't be the last time she would see him as he stalks her and causes a whole mess of problems. Marcie lost her job, lost her apartment, and her band account, so she turns to Raven for help and the Cyber team. Raven hands it to Amy and they check on the guy that they think could be the suspect. Turns out that the suspect is dead in his own home.

Marcie is a suspect with her fingerprints around the crime scene. Soon, D.B. and the team do some fingerprinting from the two phones that were left at the crime scene. Seem that there were two different prints.

As Marcie was hoping to get money, Holden had cancelled her transfer from her mother. And slashed her tire and offered her a ride. It was then that she was arrested and brought in. She talked to Amy and told her what had happen that she could remember.

Amy doesn't think that she did it. Of course, she didn't do it Amy, this is all about someone getting their feelings hurt because he didn't get what he wanted. As soon as Marcie was released, Raven gives her a laptop and phone that no one can access, not even Raven. That turned out to be wrong, as Holden messaged her by phone. That was due to her connection to Raven from HeartMate app.

Raven informs Marcie about it and Marcie turns the tables towards Holden and gets him to meet at a spot til the FBI catches him. Raven had to talk Marcie down when she had a box cutter in her hand, wanting to kill him. Close one no doubt there.

I should mention that Van Der Beek's character goes through some emotional state. Last week we learn that his dad has cancer and doesn't want to be treated. It was when he picked up his daughter that he had a really good emotional moment when he broke down and his daughter tells her that it's going to be fine.

Not to forget, the other case in this episode wasn't solved. Trying to take down a website that shows revenge photos of women that send sexy photos to their boyfriends.

I enjoyed this episode well. I loved that Raven got a good episode. I could never get enough of D.B.'s inventions.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch CSI: Cyber Sunday nights at 10/9c on CBS.

Doctor Who & Weekend Catch Up Part 10



Doctor Who "Before the Flood"

In the second part of this two-part story, the Doctor travels back to the 1980s during the Cold War to see where the spaceship is and who has landed. It only took two crew members and left Clara and the others behind due to the security doors.

This episode occurred before the previous episode, as the Doctor explains in the beginning, and again at the end. This is called the "bootstrap paradox," a time loop. We've seen it in other shows and films. But he mentions only Beethoven, who wasn't a natural person until he, the Doctor, gave sheets of music to a man who called himself Ludwig Beethoven. That was a fun part of the episode. It was beautifully well-performed and made.

The Doctor had to battle with the Fisher King, the one trying to get from that point in time, 2199. Killing O'Donnell, the King faces the Doctor, who looks scared when looking up at the King. But so on, the Doctor talked and told him a lie about the ship, for which the King went back to and realized that the Doctor lied to him. Along with the dam being destroyed.

As Clara, Cass, and Lunn try to stay alive from the ghost, they come to the white box in the control room. It opened up and out popped the Doctor along with his sonic sunglasses.

I have to say that this was a very, very interesting episode. I had to watch it twice to keep understanding it, but it was a lot better watching it the second time. The time loop did get me at first. That was until I put it together from the first scene of the episode to the last scene of the episode. It is brilliantly done and probably one of its best and brightest episodes.

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights at 9/8c on BBC America.


Arrow "Green Arrow" 

(WARNING: I HAVE NOT SEEN SEASON 3 BUT WILL THIS WEEK; THIS IS ALL FROM WATCHING SEASONS ONE & TWO AND THIS WEEK'S SEASON 4 PREMIERE).

For how long are we going to keep seeing Oliver leave and come back?

I get it that fighting bad guys, saving the city, and protecting the ones that you love is all a huge risk when being a hero, but watching it after every season does get tiresome at times. I think that after this season, it will show that maybe he'll stay as the hero for a long time.

Oliver seems to enjoy the retired superhero life with Felicity in a nice neighborhood. Diggle, Laurel, and Speedy are carrying on the Arrow's name while trying to stop a group of guys known as Ghost.

It wasn't until Speedy and Laurel thought Oliver should return that Diggle believed otherwise. He's still upset about what Oliver did to him last season. They ask Oliver for help right when he is about to ask Felicity for her hand in marriage.

Well, Oliver and even Felicity agreed to help. Hell, Felicity has been helping them for a while, and it quite upset Oliver.

It seems like there's a new villain in the city, and his name is Damion Darhk, who has a very supernatural ability; not only freaking Speedy and Black Canary out but also me as well with his sucking the life out of one of his men.

And did you watch Arrow and Darhk's fight that looked like Bane vs. Batman when you seemed to lose your touch in fighting? But the shocker is that Laurel's dad works for Darhk, so that doesn't seem to go down well.

At the end of the episode, we jump to six months, seeing Oliver at a cemetery looking at someone's grave, and along comes The Flash. We never did get a look at it, but my guess is it would be either Felicity or Quentin Lance. At this time in Oliver's life, maybe Felicity should get killed. Hell, I want to see Oliver and Laurel back together. I still think that they are meant to be.

I enjoyed this episode. There were a few things that just got boring from Oliver enjoying his happy, non-superhero life and coming back to become the hero again. But he's Oliver Queen and not Bruce Wayne.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10

You can catch Arrow on Wednesday nights at 8/7c on The CW.

The X-Files at New York Comic-Con


Well, it's definitely official, The X-Files are reopened  and Mulder and Scully are not together and the Lone Gunmen are alive.

Three months til it's premiere in January, there was an advanced screening of the premiere episode of the most anticipated Fox revival series as it made it's nationwide debut Saturday at New York Comic-Con.

The first episode titled "My Struggle," introduces texting to the series, not to mention Joel McHale as the conservative conspiracy theorist Tad O'Malley and it hits on several current hot-button political issues, from which creator Chris Carter said that it was intentional.

Carter, along with David Duchovny and Mitch Pileggi attended the East Coast version of Comic Con and talked about the upcoming six-episode limited series that premieres Jan. 24.

"It's a perfect time to be telling 'X-Files' stories," said Carter. That's why I was excited about doing it (again). We knew we needed to make a statement and be bold."

Carter says that the show is back because of Duchovny.

"David was interested in doing the show," Carter says. "I said, 'If David is interested, I am too."

Carter also discussed the Mulder and Scully status.

"I was going under a bridge and on the bridge above us it said, 'Life has many bumps in the road,'" Carter said. "I think Mulder and Scully hit one of those."

As for the returning of the 13 year hiatus break, Duchovny said that "it just felt right" to come back to the show about FBI sleuths investigating instances of paranormal activity. In the years since the show ened, Duchovny was on the dark comedy Showtime series "Californication," and is on the NBC period drama "Aquarius."

The panelists wouldn't say anything on a possible 11th season, Duchovny told Carter: "You've got my number."

But Carter did disclose that the reboot would consist of four standalones and two mythology episodes.

But while Gillian Anderson wasn't there, she did make a quick cameo  via video saying, "I hope you love it!"

The X-Files was on the air for nine seasons from 1993 to 2002, made two feature films.

Season 10 will debut in a special two night event beginning on Sunday, Jan. 24th, following the NFC Championship Game, for which will grab a lot of viewers. And will continue the following night on it's regular Monday at 8/7c.

Undateable "A Will They Walks into a Bar"/"A Won't They Walks Into a Bar" Season Premiere LIVE


The new season of Undateable premiere tonight anything can happen because well, it's freakin LIVE.

The series did a Live show last season and it was such a huge hit that NBC thought it would do well by doing an entire season live. I for one love the idea. I believe that this show can sustain.

Just to let you know that this recap is based on the airing of the East Coast.

Well, in the season premiere Candace and Justin are about to become a couple. Everyone else in the group seems to have someone expect for Danny, who makes a mock and gets Candace thinking that her and Justin shouldn't really be a couple.  The reason why is that Danny doesn't have anyone to be with.

There's a ton of breakout moments from the introduction of the cast in the studio audience, the calling of Danny's cell phone after Justin read out load the real number, the truth battles, the fight/kiss of Bianca Kajilich and Scott Foley.

But Danny comes and chewbacca to Justin of what he's done. Danny comes around and gets Justin and Candace back and now they are together a couple.

Overall, I give this episode 10/10.  You don't know what's going to happen. The story is written but there are some improv that I enjoy so much from the cast.

You can catch Undateable LIVE Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

The Ultimate Postseason Matchup: Chicago Cubs-St. Louis Cardinals Postseason Game

If you thought that the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers battling it out in the postseason was the match up to see, think again when it comes down to these two teams.

Tonight's the night that I've been waiting for and part of me isn't waiting for, I'm talking about the National League Divisional Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.

This is literally the World Series of the MLB National League Central. One the best team this year up against the best young team.

I can't tell you how much I'm so nervous but excited about this match up. It can go either way no matter how you solve the puzzle of this match up.

This shouldn't be the NLDS this should be the National League Championship Series. Sorry Mets/Dodgers fans, but this match up will have more television viewers than yours.

Ever since the second of half the season, the Cubs have gotten the Cardinals number and taken at least half of the games series that goes back and forth.

I'll admit that I'm a Cubs fan. Yes, I'm a lovable loser. I embrace the title no matter how you make fun of it.

I live with my grandparents (my grandmother: Cub fan & grandfather: Cardinal fan) it's hard to be around them when they take it a bit seriously. But we all love each other.

Tonight's pitchers are John Lester (11-12) and John Lackey (13-10). In this pitching match up, I'll take Lester over Lackey. Lester has a better postseason record than Lackey. I remember how not good he can be when it came for pitching for the Red Sox and Angeles.

So for who will win the series, I'm taking the Cubs in 5. This will be a very close match. All I'm hoping is for great series but for the Cubs to go through to the NLCS.

Because as it said in Back to the Future II, the Cubs win the World Series and who hopes that comes true?
