Helping the Soul: Blindspot "Cede Your Soul"



An app that puts on a hit, a relationship tries keeping it professional and more issues comes into one agent's life. This week's episode of Blindspot hit's another mark.

When an assassination leads Kurt and Jane to a dangerous app that allows criminals t track down and kill government agents who are protecting in government vehicles. They most work against the clock to use the app and try taking down the creator.

The one clue that helps them with the app is the owl looking figure that so happens to be on Jane's leg. They track down the creator and it leads to a hacker name Ana Montes, who clams that she's working for the CIA but later learned that she was tricked.

The case takes a turn and gets Ana to help. They track down the man that got her to make the app and tracked him down. The suspect is a bit of a step ahead so their plan was to get two steps ahead which was to explode his power source to cause a fire and get him out. The suspect didn't get out so Jane and Kurt goes back and gets him out.

The relationship between Jane and Kurt are being questioned when it gets more personal than professional. Hell, even Mayfair is thinking that Kurt is getting to personal with Jane. It surely shows but it's not an issue for me. I enjoy watching these two go at it when they try to solve these mysterious tattoos and what happen to Jane.

Kurt's sister gets him to come back home where their father is there. Kurt accepts and sits with them at the table and tells him about how Taylor was found alive. It really look like a ton of weigh has been lifted off of him, since he's dying of cancer.

Zapata deals with her gambling demons and paying her debuts little by little. That payment comes from the CIA work from given information on Jane and the investigation.

Also questions are being asked when Patterson talked to Kurt about information that she had found and hopes to do something but when he asked her to talk to Mayfair about it. Patterson explained that she would but hasn't shown anything. A lot of interesting tips of information has gone towards Mayfair and sure hasn't done anything about it. What the hell is she hiding? We do know about Project Daylight.

And also who's the mysterious man with the tree tattoo on his arm? We see him in the first scene of the episode and the final scene as well. Was that a dream that Jane had with this guy or was it real?

This episode had me on the edge of my seat once again. I enjoy watching the characters of Jane and Kurt grow and learn from one another as each episode goes on. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Patterson and Ana in this episode. Watching two solve the case, makes me wonder if Ana should stay and work with the FBI along with Patterson. Two heads are better than one.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Look Up in the Sky!!!: Supergirl "Pilot"



Hey, look what premiered on CBS; it's not about a bird, it's not about an airplane, it's about Supergirl!!! (Come on, I had to make something work, no matter how cheesy it chimes).

The premiere of Superman's cousin aired Monday night, and the series didn't disappoint, but there are a couple of issues.

We learn the whole origin story within five minutes of the pilot, which is the quickest way. Knowing that when Kara, who was 12 years old, was sent right after Superman left Krypton, but a detour had her stay in time for 24 years and soon came to Earth. Superman rescues her and places them with a family.

Now Kara is an assistant at CatCo, working for Cat Grant, one of the series' Pain in the Neck boss. She seems to be the awkward female that you would see in a romantic comedy, and soon, she'll turn into someone much better. That's kind of what I've got from watching this version.

Kara wants to do something more; she wants to help, and being an assistant isn't quite what she hoped for. That all changed when her sister was on a plane and rescued her and the rest of the passengers. She's excited about what she has done for National City and what to do more, but Alex doesn't think it's a great idea.

That seemed to change after going through a few tests of stopping a robbery and car chase when she battles with Vartox, one of many villains who had escaped from the prison her mother put in. At first, their battle didn't go so well, but come the second round, Kara is still learning what she can still do in action.

With the villains on the run on Earth, the mastermind beyond all this comes from a family member of Kara's aunt, Astra, who seeks to make Kara pay for her mother's sins.

The characters in this series are fascinating, from Jimmy Olsen, who seems to be Kara's mentor, to Kara's sister Alex, who happens to be secretly working for the Department of Extra-Normal Operations, trying to keep Kara down from not using her powers but soon encourages her. Henshaw seems to be the total badass who will treat Kara with little respect because she's an alien.

I did get a hoot when Dean Cain and Helen Slater played Superman and Supergirl. CRAZY!!!

I'm very invested in the series. I see there's a bit of a feminist theme going on, but that's not a massive issue for me at all. I think CBS should at least push the envelope and make it darker, like Arrow. But I think the show will grow as time goes and it will get a bit better.

Melissa Benoist is amazingly outstanding as Kara Zor-El/Supergirl. She brings, I think, not only a new but a fresh look of a hero who still has a lot to learn from being a superhero, even though she's a bit of one of those rom-com girls at first.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Monday nights at 8/7c on CBS.

Once again it's Halloween and Jake and Holt have the ideal to put together a challenge  for the Nine-Nine to steal a crown and be called the King.

Jake and Holt pick members for their teams and they don't pick Amy. Amy feeling upset and leftout, plays it cool to everyone.

Meanwhile, Jake's plan to steal the crown looked fool proof. Having Rosa stealing it, while he and Boyle distracts Gina. But Holt knows that he stole it by putting a wire on Jake's desk.

Holt walks away with it but puts it in the trash can before Jake comes in. But later the crown is gone and everyone is looking for the janitor. They race up to find the janitor at his apartment but it all turned out to be Amy, who had taken the crown and fooled all of them with a very very tight plan.

I enjoyed this episode so much. It was such a trick or treat of an episode. I loved Melissa Fumero's performance along with Sandberg and Braugher.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

CSI Cyber: "Red Crone"

Consider this the a treasure hunt CSI style but what Avery and the team hope to find is two alive boys.

This episode seems to take on from the slender man stories, fake character that invites kids that are the chosen one. When two missing boys happens to be chosen, it becomes a cyber hunt unlike any other.

It's very interesting and a bit scary at some scenes with the artwork that's shown on the Red Crone's website. The case not only takes a toll on the team but more for Elijah.

Following the clues, going to certain places from a water fountain to a grave yard and even an old tree. But when they find the location of where the boys could be at, it turns out to be a decoy for the adults playing the game. When Russell acts like a child and lowers the tablet down, there seems to be another clue and it takes them a theatre where a man, who happens to be a lawyer, held the kids.

It may not be the best episode but it sure kept me glued to my screen. I loved the performance from Dason and Van Der Beek. Not to mention that Braven is the new thing on the show that I certainly enjoyed thanks to Avery and D.B.'s hard thinking.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10

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