The Blacklist "The Harem (No. 102)

"The Harem" has to be one of the fun and interesting episodes of the season.

We've seen a lot of Blacklisters from men to women but now it's a team of bad women who love to play and steal to the bone. When a list of those that are in the witness protection project has been stolen, it's up to Liz to go undercover and get it, but could she make it in the group of The Harem"?

As I said before The Harem is like an Ocean's 8 style of women (shorter number though), who steal and make a name for themselves. Jill Hennessy (Crossing Jordan & Law & Order alum) guest stars as the leader Margot, who's planning to steal the list of witness protection people. Red gets Liz and the FBI involved and used Margot's brother to get Liz in with the group.

After passing Margot's test, Liz was in the group, but not her brother anymore. The group starts off slow and moves on. Liz gets involved with another member, Emma (Anastasia Griffith (Royal Pains & Trauma)), is one of Margot's trusted members, but also turns out to be Red's old undercover who went cold on him for the past couple of years. When the Liz and Emma talked, they had a deep plan of what they were going to do, until things went south that Emma caused in China and took the list for herself, leaving Liz and other members by themselves.

After escaping, Liz and the FBI make their move and caught Margot. Meanwhile, Red meets with Emma and is given the electronic list of the witness protection. Red tells her if she was in trouble that she should had come to him sooner and gave her a place to stay and money to have as they watch her son practice soccer that he has no clue she's his mother.

In the meantime, during this episode, Red tries to get his business moving by helping a curse ship business help carry some stuff around. But things took a tumble when one of his guy's died of a heart attack and someone else had purchased and helped the cruse line ship. Someone seems to be making moves on Red's business and it seems that this is only the beginning.

But let me just end this with one of the highlight notes of this episode, Liz and Red meet at a restaurant and he gives her the list. Liz tells him that she knows that he killed Mr. Kaplan and soon he tells her why he needed to get that list. It wasn't for him, it was to keep Kaplan's sister hidden. Liz tells him that it doesn't count for what he had done to Kaplan and he knows that, but it seems that after he tells Liz about it and that she knows about Kaplan that it was a bit of a relief for him.

I loved this episode, that I even watched this over and over for the last week since this episode aired. Hennessy and Griffith was amazing along with Megan Boone as well. All three stole my hearts in a way. It's just fun to watch strong female characters do some bad ass things. Overall, I enjoyed that scene with Liz and Red near the end of the episode. The writing was good as well as the directing too. Overall, I give this episode an 9/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Flashback: Timeless "Karma Chameleon"

Going to back to stop from a killer being born is one thing, but going back to stop someone from meeting is another in this week's episode of Timeless.

After coming back from their previous mission, Wyatt asked Rufus to help him stop his wife's killer, meaning that they had to stop his parents from ever meeting. Sounding dangerous, Rufus agrees but Wyatt tells Lucy about it before everything was a go.

Wyatt and Rufus sells it like Wyatt made Rufus stealing the lifeboat. The time: March 1983 and Wyatt and Rufus look like an early look of Sonny and Crockett, in my opinion. We see a whole lot of flashback shows from The A-Team to Manmianl (my favorite even though I was born in 1989).

Wyatt finds the killer's mother and purses to have a relationship, but the bartender tends to be the killer's father too. Every time Wyatt tries to separating them, there always seems to be something else comes between them, like a drunken passenger from a previous flight or a cop that got in a way. Also let alone there was a storm coming too.

After Wyatt was help free from the cop from Rufus, he runs towards the mother's hotel room where she and the bartender were getting it on. Wyatt rushes in and pulls the guy out and takes him out for a drive but the winding being too strong couldn't get his keys and the guys makes a dash until he trips, flies over a car and landing on the parking stomp on his head, killing him. Wyatt devastated about it tells Rufus that he didn't want it to have it like this let alone his own wife too.

They come back and he gets the news from Lucy that his wife is still dead and that they killer hasn't been found. Seems like Flynn played him very well and watching Wyatt react and being taken away was just painful to watch.

Meanwhile, while Wyatt and Rufus was having flashback to the 80's, Lucy gets to have a meeting with Anthony about how all of this mess that Rittenhouse has caused could all end, blowing up the lifeboat with C-4 in Oakland. But it turns out that Anthony was shot dead and that the lifeboat is gone along with Flynn and Emma (who knows a lot more than Anthony anyway).

But after meeting with Anthony, Lucy learns from Agent Christopher about the man that Mason has been meeting with, the man that turns out to be her father. After the accident, she meets with her father again and confronts him with all of this Rittenhouse, which all is true and he comes forward with the truth. Also that all of this Rittenhouse is her legacy, that's in her blood and it seems that it looks like that he'll be part of her life now more thane ever.

I thought that this episode was fabulous. This episode was interesting from the time we had a Lucy-Wyatt moment to the end when Lucy's father explains Rittenhouse to her. Even though we learn more about Rittenhouse, I this episode was more about Wyatt and his mission to get his wife back. Matt Lanter really does a great job in this episode along with Abigail Spencer and Malcolm Barrett. Love the music and clips of shows from the 80's (who doesn't?). I thought the writing was really good. Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

There's only two more episodes before the season finale. You can catch Timeless Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The Good Place renewed for Season 2

Here's some forking good news to those that love The Good Place. NBC has renewed the Kristen Bell-Ted Danson comedy for a second season with 13 episodes.

The Good Place average a 1.9 rating in adults 18-49 and 6.1 million viewers overall in Live plus 3 day ratings.

Last week's finale ended with one of the most shocking revelations this season that Eleanor Shellstrop has actually been hold up in The Bad Place the entire time.

Creator Mike Schur told TVLine that a second season would follow the mold of the first season with 13 episodes.

"When I pitched the show to NBC, I felt pretty strongly it was kind of a big swing, and everything was gonna be really heavily serialized," Schur said. "It just felt like it made sense to keep that to a shorter season. And they very kindly and reasonably agreed with that."

"Mike Schur has always had one of the most fertile and imaginative minds in comedy, but what he brought us with the first season of The Good Place was just extraordinary," NBC president Jennifer Salke said in a statement accompanied the renewal announcement. "We absolutely caan't wait to see where these characters go, literally, in Season 2. A big thank you to Mike, the writers and cast for delivering a series in which we all take such enormous pride."

Timeless "The Murder of Jesse James"

Not only does this episode was a lot of fun to watch, but also it dived deeper into someone from the past.

Our three main characters face their not so good moments in the beginning of the episode, Wyatt meets with his wife's killer. Rufus gets a kiss from Jiya and news that she'll be operating the time machine (but not too soon) and Lucy dream of having a bad conversation with her sister.

They get a call that Flynn has gone to April 3, 1882, for which was the date that Jesse James was murdered by his own crew, for a pardon from the government. But before that even ever happen, Flynn stops James' crew from killing him and instead Flynn kills the crew, offers him a drink and ask for his assistants.

When Lucy and company get there, they were a bit too late. So with no clue what to do and being a couple steps behind, a dazed and lost Lucy figures out who they could help them, U.S. Marshall Bass Reeves, aka The Lone Ranger. They also get to meet his side kick Grant Johnson. Wyatt does call him another name, but insults him because it means stupid or slow.

Anyway, the Lone Ranger and crew set off to find Flynn and James. With no clue what Flynn was doing, we do get an understanding in the present after Jiya does some okay testing of driving the time machine. She looks into the video history files of what she could learn from and finds someone who is declared to be dead after a bad accident. It turns out to be someone Rufus worked with before Wyatt and Lucy came.

Flynn and James gets to the place and soon they are getting attacked with gun fire. Flynn tells James to stand down, while he goes and has a talk with the person. That person happens to be the same person that Jiya saw in the video and has worked with Rufus, Emma. She appears has a lot of electronics for someone in the 19th century. Flynn offers her out of here and for to help him. They leave while given Jesse James a deadly gun that he has never used before and waited for Lone Ranger and crew to get there.

As they get there, Rufus was shocked and amazed that Emma is alive. Soon James starts shooting up the cabin, hitting Grant and killing him. Wyatt and Bass goes out there as Wyatt shoots James in the shoulder. Wanting to kill him, Bass talks him down but Lucy shoots James in the back as history calls it but this time in a different way.

After that event, Lucy gets the award money for killing Jesse James from Bass. He tells her and the guys that he doesn't believe in killing but holding the law to those that broke it and that they should face it. Rufus tells him that he should tell his stories so people will remember them, because someone like Disney would have someone else known as The Lone Ranger and someone like Johnny Depp playing his sidekick (EW!!).

As the crew gets back, Rufus tells Mason and Agent Christoper about Emma's alive and is with Flynn. Soon, Mason joins with Jiya at the time machine lifeboat and discusses what she had done and threatens her. But they move on with Rufus watching almost all of their conversation. After that, Wyatt comes to Rufus asking to use the Lifeboat to do something...kill his wife's killer for which will be an adventure for next Monday's episode.

If I had to use one word to describe this episode...fun. It was just down right run to watch this episode and the writing was so damn good. It kept me amazed and interested. Coleman Domingo was amazing as Bass Reeves, "stunning" as one person who watched it with me calls him. Annie Wersching playing Emma, was a really good choice, even though she didn't have a lot of lines, only a few but her expressions really can say it all. I recommend to everyone to watch this episode, this is popcorn episode viewing my friend! Popcorn viewing episode!!! Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch and watch Timeless Monday nights at 10/9c
