A Tale in Space: Doctor Who "Sleep No More"

"Sleep No More" was a very different but exciting episode. It started with a video message that looked to be a distress call and explained what had happened, along with meeting the rescuers who were to attempt to rescue whoever was in that empty ship.

Then the rescuers bumped into the Doctor and Clara, and they searched for what the hell was in that ship. Hell, it looked like a family of sand monsters with no faces. But one by one, the team lost each other, and it came down to three. Of course, the scientist, at the beginning, turns out to be the guy who has caused all this to happen.

With the Doctor, Clara, and the other soldier escaping in the TARDIS, the scientist made one last remark before sending it to everyone. But as he was nearly done, he scratched his eye, and it turned into dust, and soon his head was coming apart.

To answer the scientist's question, yes, I did enjoy the show, and no, I don't think my family would enjoy it unless it's my brother and me. I'll say that this was a very different episode. It was like Ghost Hunters meets Tales of the Creep. I loved how the camera was part of the character's viewpoint at times.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

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

Blasting Through the Tunnel: Weekend Catch Up

iZombie "Max Wager"

When a victim dies due to high-end gambling, it's up to Liv to find out who gave him the cut.

Liv and Clive investigate a murder; they find that the victim is in deep debt. Hell, the guy was friends with a famous college and pro basketball player, played by Rick Fox. When Live dives into the victim's mind, she gets that same itch to bet, along with meeting a couple of folks and winning some cash.

It turns out that with the help from the victim's college buddy's tip to Liv about betting on Arizona the NCAA Basketball, that put the screws in for him to confess and gave two other people, one a former ball player.

Meanwhile, Liv and Major get deep into sex playing, from live face chatting to getting close to having sex, but nothing happens. Ravi couldn't develop a cure for them, but I think they're pretty well off doing play for now.

Blaine gets a visit from his old man and takes his business for only a short time until Major kidnaps him and puts him in the freezer.

For now, the Liv and Major relationship is back on, and I can deal with it. I'm pulling for them, but it gets a bit tiresome watching them going back and forth from the past season and now. I did enjoy the episode to full benefit, and I thought that Clive's relationship with the FBI agent was awkwardly excellent when they and Liv and Major bump into each other.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch iZombie on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on The CW.

Donny! "pilot"

Everyone should know who Donny Deutsch is: a well-known guy in the ad business who gives tips and advice on what not to do or to do in bad situations. Hell, I remember him when he was on the Today Show, and now he has a sitcom, and it's kind of what I have pictured him to be.

In Donny!, Deutsch plays himself as a Dr. Phil-like talk show host, but what he perches on the show, she doesn't do outside of the show—doing sexting and trying to come up with a fresh idea for the show. It's like one of those "oh my god!" moments that you can't believe that he's doing or even saying it.

Somehow, Deutsch reminds me of Paul Reiser from Mad About You. It's how Deutsch sounds and explains things; my head is wrapped around that. I enjoy the cast, from Donny's Angels to his children dealing with this.

Overall, I give the episode a 7/10.

You can catch Donny! Tuesday nights at 10:30/9:30c on USA Network

Arrow "Lost Souls" 

When it's time to rescue a friend, it's probably not the best time for a motherly visit to come suddenly.

As Felicity is searching for Ray, she gets a video message from him of his whereabouts and that he is, in fact, alive and very, very small. Of course, Ray Palmer is the Atom trapped in a giant glass held by Darhk.

But when Oliver buts into Felicity's family, inviting her mother to come isn't the most excellent idea in the world to do. But it makes some hilarious scenes of them talking about it. One of the scenes comes as they're about to go into a warehouse and steal a gadget to help Ray.

The Arrow and Darhk meet again, and this time, Arrow seems to have the upper hand even in pulling a fast one. But it appears that what Felicity and the team left behind is something to their use.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10. It was good, with some scenes and some lagging a bit.

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

Chicago PD "Forget My Name" 

Talk about mixing secret government high-tech and homicide, and you might have one hell of a thrill in this episode of Chicago PD.

When Intel informs Halstead and Dawson of these missing secret chips, the team follows the lead and sees the exchange and a murdered body.

I mean, this is real Blocklist meets Person of Interest stuff that it's unlike any other. I was amazed at how this episode went and how far it went. Besides the case they were working on, Halstead and Lindsay had some perfect moments, one being in the van as they watched the lead suspect at her home and the other when the lawyer for the government company gave Halstead her number after the two went a couple of rounds. He tears that paper up and tells Erin he has no clue what that is.

All I had to say was, kick her ass, Erin!!!

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Chicago PD on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The Blacklist "Zal Bin Hasaan" 

This was one of the best stories of a supportive character in this series. We finally get a backstory on Samar and her family.

In this episode, we get to see Samar gardening with her brother. When a man comes into their home and kills their parents, she promises to be with him forever. We learn that she lost her brother in a bombing in 2009, but he is alive.

Not only did she find him, but he was in a warehouse where six/five people were held hostage. That's where she finds him. She talks to him about what happened and asks for Zal Bin Hasaan, who's been the blacklister who's been doing this whole hostage thing.

It turns out that Hasaan is Samar's brother, and after trying to take him down, Red comes to the rescue and takes him away from her as he needs him to get a meeting in progress to help Liz.

But if you thought that was it, think again. Ressler has been on The Director's tail since last week and has taken Solomon for an interview. Of course, the Director interferes and takes care of it. But after informing of what he has been doing,  The Director has been fired from teaming up with the FBI.

Also, Tom and Cooper had one hell of a storyline in this episode. Try keeping a man hiding from Cooper's wife. I'm enjoying Tom as a hitman for once. I can't stop laughing at anything he does to someone.

With what went down with Ressler and Samar, they talked about it and ended up together in one of their apartments. Yeah, I know. I didn't see that coming, too. That was an OMG moment.

But I think that big ones will be coming in the Fall Finale. Jon Bokencamp and Dave Metzer said it will be "unexpected" and brimley."

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch the Fall Finale of The Blacklist this Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.

The Flames of Politics: Chicago Fire "Regarding This Wedding"

After last week's emotional episode, we're back to normal where Dawson is back at 51, but politics are getting in the way.

Dawson opens up to Chaplin about what she went through and how she feels about it. Again, Monica gives an excellent performance in that scene. But she's back to work and back at 51. But there's one issue in the way, or should I say person: Chief Riddle.

Riddle appears at  51, complaining to Bowden about how House 51 is running like a public servant to people and pushing Bowden's buttons with the gossip that "he's not listening" but brings it up.

Riddle meets with Dawson to discuss her review as she's fit to come back. He pushes her to the limit about the baby and Casey and advises them to take time off, which upsets Dawson. Riddle is coming after 51, and he's making a mark on it.

He also gets into Severide's case when he's up to get his job back after answering a question wrong about letting the public into the firehouse with a wedding. Turns out Severide answered wrong and didn't get his job back.

And as soon as Riddle leaves with Patterson, he tells him a job might open up. After what's been going on, I've been thinking that Patterson has been a pet set to push Bowden and Severide away, but then during the wedding, he's helping by playing music. Patterson is a flip-flop of a character that I can't tell if he's good or bad, but one thing is for sure: Severide isn't going away.

Meanwhile, the House plans a wedding for a couple who lost their ceremony in a fire. The husband was admitted to Chicago Med and treated by Halstead. After a few complications, the wedding was set, and the couple got married.

Also, Chili and Jimmy have made a connection. After Chili states that she doesn't want to get married, she tells her story about her folks. Jimmy feels sorry for her but continues to talk about the subject of marriage. Soon, at the night's end, they leave Molly's, and Chili kisses Jimmy after a day he has had.

The rivalry between Severide and Patterson is getting heated up. And in next week's episode, the heat will rise, and the flames will be scorching.

I enjoyed this episode. I enjoyed Rayund's performance in the first scene of the episode. It reminds me of how she opened up about the loss of Shay (sorry to bring that back up). Also, I see the tension between Severide and Patterson a lot. I feel that sooner or later, the two will punch it out. And what can I say about Britt's performance? I turn my chair if she wants on The Voice. I didn't know that Killmer could sing.

Overall, I give this episode 8.5/10,

You can catch Chicago Fire on Tuesday nights at 10/9c; plus, you can see the premiere of Chicago Med next Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.

Confidants: Supergirl "Fight or Flight"

As Supergirl is still getting the hang of being a superhero, as questions are being ask if she needs her big cousin Superman for help when she can't handle it.

After giving an interview to Cat, Kara gives her some information that was accidentally said: that she's Superman's cousin. When word gets out, it triggers one of Superman's enemies, Reactron.

Reactron seeks revenge after losing not just himself but his wife as well in a nuclear accident. The battle between them didn't do well in the first two, as they both equally match. But it was during the second battle that Kara had to be rescued by her cousin thanks to Olsen.

Upset that Olsen doesn't think she can do it, Kara makes a case to him and everyone that Supergirl doesn't need her big cousin for help. That came during Cat's party of the showing of her magazine cover of Supergirl. Reactron comes back looking for Supergirl.

Not only did Supergirl came, but got a little bit of help from Olsen as he was bait of getting Reactron out of the building. Kara gets word from the DOE of how to defeat him and uses lead to stop the reactor in the guy's chest suit.

Kara isn't the only one who's learning how to fight crime, that includes Olsen as well. Olsen got scared of the dangers that Kara could be in and mentions that he has called Superman way too many times in the past with his watch that he gave Olsen.

But I think that Kara has overcome the odds to what Olsen and even Cat had in her article.

I really enjoyed this episode a lot. There is so much growth going on so far after the pilot that I'm amazed how its coming along. Kara is falling in love with Olsen but as soon as she tries to ask him out, his ex comes back, Lois Lane's sister, how awkward?!

The one moment that I really like was when Kara gets a message from Clark congratulating her on beating Reactron and also that saving her was not going to happen again. Along that she's grown so much from how he first started out. That's got to be real comfort. That kind of set a tone to her and build confident.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

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