Awkward Teamwork: Timeless "The Capture of Benedict Arnold" Fall Finale

Image result for timeless nbc

It's the fall finale and it doesn't come with a few surprises too.

We find out about that mysterious letter that Flynn found in a secret clock at the museum from the previous episode. It so happens to be a letter by Benedict Arnold about Rittenhouse and a meeting.

When Lucy and Co. get word about Flynn, they headed to 1780 and when they tried to see George Washington, they get caught instead. Just as they were waiting, Flynn comes in and gives them the opportunity to work together after telling them about the letter he found that was written by Arnold.

After some convincing words, Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus agreed to work together. They had to go to the other side (Great Britain) and fool Arnold about joining their side. When they were alone, Flynn and them tied him up and demanded answers about Rittenhouse. Here comes the shocking part (if you were think it was) that Rittenhouse is a person, not a group.

The man is David Rittenhouse, and he is a disgusting jerk as you could ever have met someone back in the late 1700s. When Arnold takes agreed and took them to Rittenhouse, things didn't go the way Flynn wanted it, that was for sure.

Apparently, they weren't the only ones trying to kill Rittenhouse. Caught in the act, everyone gets held up expect for Rufus, who's outside with the workers of the house. Rittenhouse kills Arnold and tries to kill Wyatt and Flynn til Rufus comes in and shoots the bodyguards. Then after Wyatt and Flynn were free, Flynn shoots and kills Rittenhouse but as he said that killing him wouldn't stop it. That gave Flynn the go after Rittenhouse's son, John.

When Flynn goes after John, Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus runs after Flynn to not let him kill the boy. But when Flynn gets to the boy, Lucy gets in front of him and talks him down til the boy leaves. That made Flynn grab Lucy and take her to his time machine and leave to where ever the hell they were going. I guess this would be the part in Lucy's journal that she would be traveling with Flynn.

I thought that this was a very good episode. We finally learned about what or who is Rittenhouse. I really thought that it was a group of people trying to make things their own. I thought this was a very good episode between Lucy and Flynn, as it was more of these two. The writing was good and I learned something more about Washington that I didn't know, he was called him a different name then just General.

Now this kind of open up the possibility of what will happen next. Where did Flynn take Lucy and how will Wyatt and Rufus get her back. I think we're in for a real ride when the show comes back in the new year.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10

Chicago Med: Someone's Leaving, but Who?

Image result for Chicago Med Season 2

Well, Chicago Med fans, start speculating now and get your theories on because someone is going to be leaving the NBC hit medical drama by the end of the season.

Reported by TV Guide,  someone is leaving at the end of the season and it won't be on any good terms. The exit will occur sometime a few episodes before the season finale and it will be a "tragic" one that "has a profound effect" on the recurring character's colleagues.

This sudden loss will cause a huge shake-up for the staff members at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center and leave a vacancy that may create a new, much-needed career opportunity for one of the remaining staffers.

I know it maybe too early to figure this out who but this isn't the first big loss in the Chicago series. From Leslie Shay on Fire to Nadia Decotis on P.D. If I had to choose between three of the members I think it would Maggie, Goodwin or Choi.

Chicago Med returns with new episodes Thursday, January 5th at 9/8c on NBC.

A Shocker and Betrayal: Blindspot "Why Let Cooler Pasture Deform" Fall Finale




Everything has lead to this episode, so many twist and turns that I want the show to come back now.

At the end of the previous episode, Jane was kidnapped and taken from her brother back to Sheppard because he gets a message that she has betrayed them. Taking her back to the compound, they meet with Sheppard and tells Jane that they've moved up the timeline for Phase II. Sheppard and Roman leave Jane in the room, alone, to handle something, which gave Jane time to look around and try to get a few snapshots and make a call to Weller.

Weller and the team get Jane's message and they see that they're gonna blow up the power grids. So as they get their team together and head to where Jane is located, Jane gets caught red handed by Sheppard, who had the idea that she would do. They take her down in the warehouse, tied, and tell her that Phase II wasn't going to happen but Phase II for her team (FBI) was going to happen when they get to the compound.

But before Weller headed out, he gets a phone call from Allison's boyfriend that she was in the hospital, but when he gets there, there was no record of her being there from an accident. It was a distraction so he wouldn't be with the team, of course he figured that out when he was driving to the compound and telling Patterson to inform them, but was too late.

Sheppard tells Jane that she's disappointed and from what she has done, she's gonna have Roman kill her. Of course, do you think that will happen, even after he has done some crazy stuff to people and hearing the story of him not being able to kill the bunny...he tired and aimed the gun at Sheppard but there weren't any bullets. Sheppard was even more disappointed in him, and soon turns into one of the most mother vs daughter vs son fight on television. Roman shoots Sheppard, only injuring her, but Jane takes him and runs off.

But before the they'd fought, Sheppard told Jane, how they knew she was working for the FBI, from someone who works in the FBI. Their spy...no other than Dr. Borden! And all this time I thought it was Nas.

When Weller gets to the compound, the place was in rumbles. A few people comes out and he spots Zapata, they try to find Nas and Reade until he felt a vibration in a large steal pipe that Nas has been banging for help.

Meanwhile, Jane and Roman get away from Sheppard but they come to an area where there's syringes and meds around. Jane talks to Roman and tells him that they only way to help is to start at the beginning and sticks him with that stuff that they gave Jane on losing her memory.

But at the end it leaves a complete cliffhanger when Paterson finds out who the mole is in the FBI. She's sneaks into Borden's place and hears him talking on the phone. She confronts him about it and tells him ht's under arrest. But it didn't end just there, they two chased and fought until one gun was in between them until it goes off. Who got shot?

This was a very good episode that delivered on suspense and surprises for a fall finale. Did it end the Phase II storyline, no that still looks like it's gonna continue. But the shocking reveal of Borden being the mole in the FBI was a complete shock. I had a thought that it was Nas with all that stuff she's doing and listening in on the tapes of everyone's therapy sessions. I thought that writing was really good and felt that the acting was good, no one really stood out as a performance of the week kind of the thing.

So what will happen, I think the one that got shot would be Patterson. But Borden will help her and take care of her from the injury. I think with understanding, that Weller and Co will forgive Borden for what he has done in efforts to help them. Jane will take Roman to the FBI and probably either get him ready to prep him to work for them or send him back to Sheppard (highly unlikely). Who's in favor of the three love cross between Nas, Jane and Allison for Weller?

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Blindspot when it returns Wednesday, Jan. 4th at 8/7c on NBC.

Love Is What They All Need: Timeless "Last Ride with Bonnie & Clyde"

Image result for timeless nbc



A hunt for a necklace key holds must hold something that Flynn is after, but the issue comes when it's in the hands of the one and only Bonnie and Clyde.

After an embarrassing dinner with her fiance, Lucy's called to go back to May 22, 1934 in Arkansas and find Flynn who's after Bonnie and Clyde. When Lucy, Rufus and Wyatt get there, the three split up, Rufus walking around while Lucy and Wyatt walk into the bank. But it wasn't too long before Bonnie and Clyde showed up and soon guns go a blazing.

Wyatt and Lucy tell them that they too are bank robbers and joined them in their own getaway car, without Rufus. Rufus gets caught by Texas Ranger Frank Harmer, who questions him about why he was there and not to make things worst, Flynn was working with Harmer too. But as Rufus was being asked if he's name was who Flynn says he is, he shows him his ID that says he's Wesley Snipes. HA! I can dig it!

Well, Harmer let Snipes go and brought in Henry Methvin, one of the Barrow gang members, and tells Harmer where Bonnie and Clyde are at. Rufus uses that information to head over because Wyatt and Lucy were with them there.

Hanging out with Bonnie and Clyde and listening to them how they met. They asked about the key necklace that Bonnie wears and that Clyde stole it from Henry Ford and that it must be valuable because Ford offers $50,000 for its return. Soon the two asked Lucy and Wyatt how they met and their first time. Wyatt tells them in a great amount of detail how he met Lucy. Probably one of the most heartwarming moment that Wyatt has been this season, probably using the story on how he met his wife.

After a night of drinking and woo ohhs from Bonnie and Clyde, Wyatt and Lucy waited til they fell asleep to grab the necklace. Until a knock at the door came, it was Methvin coming to stale them til the rangers and Flynn get there. Soon Rufus comes and inform Lucy that Flynn is coming but too late as Clyde brings them in and thinks they are working with the cops. Trying to get them to believe them, Rufus plays a recording of Methvin telling Harmer where they would be at. Of course, Methvin gets shot, but then Wyatt takes his gun and demands the necklace nicely, but the two wouldn't go without a fight.

The rangers start shooting and Bonnie and Clyde leave and shooting everyone, going out gun a blazing. Clyde gets shot first and as Bonnie stays with him, Flynn picks her up and takes her necklace away and soon she holds a gun and dies right there gunshot from one of the rangers.

The three come back empty handed, Agent Christopher, who's been investigating Mason and his company talks to Rufus about it. Rufus tries to tell her that she needs to back off or someone she loves (like her daughter) will get hurt. But she won't take no for an answer so he tells her all about Rittenhouse.

Meanwhile, Flynn sneaks into a museum, where the key opens a box, with a couple of timey whimy stuff opening it til a folded paper with a red stamp on it. He opens it and the scene goes back. I think it has to do with the fall finale episode. That has to be a message from the queen or king.  The question is what does the letter say?

Oh man this episode was good. It felt like one of those old films where you revisit the 1930's gangster era, which I love. I thought Matt Lanter was rally good in a couple of scenes, including the one where he was talking how he met his wife Lucy to Bonnie and Clyde. I feel like something big is going to come in the next episode, something between Lucy and Flynn.

Overall, I give this episode 8/10.

You can catch the fall finale of Timeless Monday Night at 10/9c on NBC.
