An Awaken Moment: This Is Us "Three Sentences"

"Three Sentences" might be a confusing title at first for what the episode stands but it really doesn't matter the episode really delivered once again.

Let's just dive into Randle and William. William seems to be like he won a million dollars and he should be after being off chemo and radiation. As William is taking every second of every moment to do what he loves and enjoys. Randle faces a challenge from a co-worker at work about a project, but William comes in and ask him to join him to do the things he wants to do, so Randle agreed, even if he didn't like it.

The two spent a lot of time clothes shopping, cream soda searching and even taking the car and listen to his song that he heard at a record shop when he was a kid. He tells Randle how he wanted to be the owner, who drove a cool car. There he realize and has William drive the car, but instead of driving around (because he hasn't had a driver's licence). Randle had William drive around the park, literally around in circles.  

The flashback portion was of the big three's birthday party. After seeing old clips of the past birthdays and traditions, Kate and Kevin wanted to have their own birthday party, Randle too. After going through memory lane, Jack asked Rebecca about having another kid. That conversation went back and forth a couple of times, but decided no.

When the party was going on, Kate and Kevin had their friends, but Randle had only his friends not his classmates. Jack and Rebecca tries to get some of Kate and Kevin's friends to join Randle's party but Randle was fine with just having his own friends at the party.  But that didn't end as Kate decided to be by herself for a while and Jack tries to cheer her up, even though he did a great job, she still wanted to be alone. Jack and Rebecca asked Kevin why Kate's friends were at his party, it was because he loves Kate's friend Sophia, who happens to love the Princess Bride, for which Kevin ask to have for a theme for his party.

That does leave to Kevin and Kate, for which I thought stand out the most in this episode.

For Kevin, he realizes that Sloane doesn't want to be around someone that thinks he has to be with her. So that left Kevin in a bad mood but hey Toby was there to help guide him to what he really wanted and that was to go to the person he truly loves....Sophia...his ex-wife. Yeah talk about a left turn, right?

He goes to her place and asked that they have a cup of coffee and talk. From her look it doesn't look like she was in the mood talking but she's gonna give it a shot.

Meanwhile, Kate decides not to go with the surgery and was given a chance to go to a camp for those with weight issues. Thinking that this was going to be like the biggest loser type of camp, it wasn't it was most of therapy camp. Thinking that it wasn't for her, she gets  pushed to do it from some employee there, who happens to have a crush on her.

After going back to the group exercises, she starts doing, listening and even going back to a dark moment in time, for which was the moment with her dad and cutting it to Jack's funeral. After viewing those moments, Kate starts to do her exercise faster and then screams loudly. Just watching that scene was probably the oh my god moments of the episode, probably the season as we kind of figure out Kate's emotional state.

I thought this episode was very, very good. The writing was as good as the previous episode. The cast was amazing and I thought that Chrissy Metz gave a great emotional performance.  The only thing that I might have an issue is the title, for which I don't get, after watching it three to four times. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

With Great Power, Comes Great Teamwork: Powerless "Wayne or Lose" Series Premiere

It's a great concept: "It's a superhero world and we live in it."

Powerless, the first comedy from DC Comics, dives into the world where normal non-superpower people who lives with superheroes battling villains everyday and suffers from it. That's where we meet a team that tries to help those in those everyday crisis.

Emily Locke becomes the Director of Research and Development at Wayne Security to help inspire her team to come up with something new; instead of making some kind of knock off from Lexcrop or just changing a color to something that has already been made.

But when Bruce Wayne calls and tells his cousin, Van Wayne, that he's fired everyone. Emily tries her best to get inspirational with her team, but they don't seem to want to get creative now that they're fired. After a moment alone with Jackie, Van's personal assistant, talking, the idea pops that got the ball rolling from an invention that tracts someone's whereabouts before they get there.

I've really enjoyed "Wayne or Lose." The writing is amazingly strong with such interesting characters. It's fresh and it's just a different fun perspective of the normal people in a superhero world. Vanessa Hudgens really shines! Even though this is her first time at comedy, it's like she has been doing comedy for a couple of years. Plus the way her character is presented, she's gotten me motivated to do something too. The ensemble cast is amazing and brings a lot to the show. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Powerless Thursday nights at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Bugged-Eye Grimm: Grimm "The Seven Year Itch"

Well, this episode will probably make you bug out one way or another.

"The Seven Year Itch" may not have enough story development for one thing but it was entertaining anyway.

The monster of the week happens to be one mother of a bug, that calls itself that party monster. This wesen happens to come out every seven years and goes out to hunt for an plus size female to take with him to feed while underground, nothing wrong there, right?

It just so happens to be one of the founders of the park over 150 years ago. The story plot was fine for this, it develop well until the end, when Hank, Nick and Wu were battling it in the park and all of the sudden the victim that the Wesen was taken happen to be a Wesen that look like a Rhino. I find it too quick but yet one of the most WTF moments of the episode.

Other moments during the episode: One we all waited for Monrosalee baby, what are they gonna have? Well, it turns out that they're going to have triplets. I think I called that in the preview (just because triplets are a hit on NBC (This Is Us)). I enjoyed that moment the most.

Adalind and Eve: That would probably be the nerve wracking moment. Just seeing those two together after all of this mess. Diana tells Adalind that Eve was in the wall and is sick, Adalind helps her up and tries to nurse her but Diana goes in the tunnel and sees Eve's art work of what she saw. Adalind tells Eve she apologizes  and just as she does Nick comes and talks to Eve. Nothing else happens after that, even though Eve thinks she doesn't belong there, you think?!

Probably the one thing that could probably develop more was Renard's story line wit Meisner. After a long night, Renard goes to a pawnshop for help to get rid of the evil spirit from his body. Doing so with a giant toy box shape, Renard gets in (and once again gets naked) and the spirit comes out but does so attacks the shop owner and changes to Meisner.

Meisner then turns the machine on high and it seemed to burn Renard til we see him fully clothed and in shop with everything all gone. I really couldn't tell if Renard was in another world or Meisner was back in the real world. I would love to see more in this episode.

I enjoyed this episode with the writing to be good, but not as it was in the previous episodes. I think the one thing I'll remember from this episode would happen to be the bug Wesen, Monroe and Rosalee and even the Adalind/Eve moment. But I will say this that Renard and Meisner does have another humorist moment during the first scene together. Plus Nick, Wu and Hank at the park investigating the crime scene of a dead body at the park that happens to be naked. Overall, I give it a 7.5/10.

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."
