Friends in Low Places: Blindspot "Persecute Envoys"




When two cops are murdered with a message, it seems that Jane has a tattoo about this event occurring.Can Jane and the team stop the killer and can Kurt trust Mayfair after she tells him about project Daylight?

A tattoo of a knife and the number 65 got the attention after two NYPD officers were gun down with a message saying "butchers are butchered." Getting a little freaky, they FBI team takes over the investigation from the NYPD.

As Kurt and the team talk to one of the victim's partners and talked about the cameras that they're wearing. When the look back at the video tapes from the victim's camera, they see pro football player Ricky Holt pushing at him with threats.

Kurt and Kapata try to talk with Holt but when Kurt showed his badge Holt ran and ran he went. Both Kurt, Reade and Zapata couldn't get him until Jane comes with a nice tackle. Jane seems to know how to take down a guy even if she did trip him.

Holt told them that he was threaten by what the cops had on him and asked for over $50,000 in return. All because of photos of him with a guy.

Soon word got out that the victim's partner was killed with the same message as her partner had. So what they were thinking was that its coming fro inside the NYPD. And it did with two cops making a run to clean up shop. They make to one of the victim's house to try to talk but when Kurt called they raced to get there.

There was war when Kurt and Jane got there. Jane takes the victim's member with her outside til Kurt gets sonic blasted. Jane gets one while Kurt shoots the other one dead.

Mayfair tells the Captain about what just happen, he freaks out and needs to see the wounded suspect. She takes him to her when on the ride there, Mayfair figured out that the Captain was in on it too but as she tries to get her gun, he pulls one on her.

But she pulled a fast one by crashing her car and injuring the captain.

After the arguing since last week's episode and today's Kurt and Mayfair might have settled down the hack just a bit. We also got to learn a much need backstory of Mayfair as she and two other deputy officers as they were assign Project Daylight. Mayfair had a relationship with one of the deputies but when things weren't looking good she wanted to leave but Mayfair didn't.

But we found out that Mayfair's girlfriend committed suicide because of the stress of what the project had become.

Jane tries in the episode to get close to Kurt by having him open up but he tries to by making a joke of his lost hearing. Also, Jane and Zapata have made quite a bond. After their night out, Zapata gets stop by the CIA deputy and demands her to get information on Jane as the return favor from borrowing money to pay her debut. Zapata is in big trouble.

Overall, I enjoyed this episode. Enjoyed watching the backstory of Mayfair with project daylight that took away her relationship. I kind of understand why she does what she does. I think it's going to take a while for Kurt to trust Mayfair.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

We're just one episode away til the Fall Finale. Things look like are going to pick up quick and twist are coming.

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

Spectre review



Bond is back. James Bond reporting for duty and this time we get to dive a bit more into his past as he works undercover from MI6.

In the aftermath of the death of former M, Bond is on a mission that not even the new M and the team don't know about, that she had asked him in a video to hunt and kill a man that's link to a dangerous organization. With Bond blowing the crap up in Mexico, it doesn't give the MI6 a good look as a new enforcer comes in to take over their place.

As Bond hunts someone of his past, but the name at first might not be familiar to everyone but when he gives his new name, you will differently remember him. And when him and Bond meet, Bond finds out that he was the one who sent out the villains from Casino Royal, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall and deaths just to make Bond feel more pain.

There's a lot of action and great dialogue in the film. I was amazed of the car chase scene. Just watching Bond drive just makes you think that you are him driving that beast of a car. Along with the cars, the fight with M. Hinx was amazing and made me think of the characters Jaws and Oddjob.

The Daniels gives a great performance along with Waltz as the villain. Plus Ben Whishaw as Q, he got a lot of story time in this film. It's probably the first time that I've seen Q in a lot of scenes since Licences to Kill.  But I was stunted by the performance of Lea Seydooux, who playing a strong female character that she could be ranked up to the top with the other Bond Women.

I can't leave out the opening credits "Writing on the Wall" by Sam Smith. After Adele's Oscar winning song of Skyfall, Smith wrote and made another masterpiece that brings thrills but haunting to the movie that gets me excited. I believe this song will be another award winning hit.

Overall, I was amazed out this film came out and didn't realize that through out Daniel's Bond films that it was a trilogy after all. Well, it had the feeling to it, if none of you agree on that. If Daniels does decide to leave (which I think he'll do one more) that he leaves it all on a high note.

Overall, I give this film a 9/10.

Spectre is in theaters everywhere now and in IMAX.

Michael: Happy 50th Anniversary Days of Our Lives!!!

War & Talk: Doctor Who "The Zygon Inversion"




In part two of this episode, the zygons are trying to take over the world and look for the Osgood box. While the Physician and Osgood are on the plane, the Zygon version of Clara is shooting rockets. But the honest Clara, who's in a pod underground, can still communicate with the Zygon.

The Doctor and Osgood escaped the plane before the blast. The Doctor thinks Clara is dead, but when he gets a text from her, Osgood believes that she may be alive.

The zygon, or Bonnie as she calls herself, tries to find the Osgood box so she can cause chaos. She realizes Clara can still control the body and goes to her pod for information. Clara challenges Bonnie, but Bonnie makes threatens her life.

Bonnie takes Clara to the Tower, while the Doctor and Osgood get attacked by zygons but saved by Kate, who pretends to be one of them. Kate is upset and wants to destroy the Zygons, but the Doctor doesn't, and when they get there, he makes a perfect case.

There in the tower are two boxes. Heck, you know there isn't just one, and both Kate and Bonnie try to make the decision. But the Doctor makes a case for not to do it and that he's seen what it's like and almost destroyed his people, but Clara helps him see it.

The two stopped and ended the battle. Yes, I'm still calling it a battle. Bonnie lets it go and gives every one of their kind a chance at freedom, while Kate forgets this had ever happened.

Meanwhile, we still couldn't get an answer from Osgood if she was a human or a zygon, and then came another one. Here's my point: who cares if she's a Zygon? Osgood is here and isn't leaving. Having two of them should be twice the fun and twice the more Doctor wardrobe.

I was amazed at this episode. Give a lot of credit to Peter; he gave an outstanding performance when talking to Kate and Bonnie. I was moved and amazed.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

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