The Perfect Match: Victoria "The Clockwork Prince"

Image result for victoria doll 123



When it comes to love, what seems to be a mismatch connection becomes a real love connection.

"The Clockwork Prince" was pretty much an episode of how Albert and Queen Victoria bonded and fell in love, in a way that was interesting and engaging. Even if we knew from the start that these two were to be married, it played so well with the characters, mainly Victoria of her feelings towards Albert.

Given that she doesn't play but challenges him as Albert does the same thing as well, making it 100 percent better than watching any of The Bachelor shows. Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes chemistary felt so real, that after watching this episode I drove right into episode five to see how things go.

And even Hell Hudson's character gave us an interesting story in this episode, showing how she's helping a family memeber and her child with money issues. As she tries to steal a few items from the Queen and that also includes a piece of her uniform.

The writing of the episode was so well written and really had my attention from the beginning to the end. Not only the performances from Coleman, Hughes and Hudson were amazing, but the rest of esnemble cast was as well. The senes when Baroness Lehzen brings in a new guy, who speaks German, plays with the rest of the house servents and gets a taste when the head speaks to him in German.

Overall, as I said before I really mushc enjoyed this episode very much. The performanes, chemistry and even story was really good. Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Victoria on blu-ray and DVD availble now.

The Night Shift Season 4 Episodes 1-6


This season so far has been pretty much excellent for the fourth season of The Night Shift. Week in and week out, they really put their characters in situations and tell such rich stories and if you haven't seen this season yet, you need to.

The fourth season really kicked off with a big bang, as in it picked off two days after the events in the thrid season finale. With T.C. thought that he had died along with Syd, turns out that they weren't and finds an army base where no only Syd goes home, but TC decides to stay and help out along with a doctor who helped him find Syd.

The season really tapers back and forth to TC and Jordan and the Team in San Antiono very well and just as if everything was going to be find after the second episode, Jordan gets word that Topher (who was fired from Paul's father because he thinks that Topher was performng wrong of what the hospital needs) died in a car accident. It not only brought a sad tone but set the tone for the season for Jordan to run the ER and TC on not coming home til he deals with his buddy's death.

As I said before, the show brought some rich stories that the characrers have buld up on, from Jordan on being the head of the ER, Paul deciding to come back after his father tells him that he won't be his boss and father but his father. Drew gets his mother to meet his and Rick's daughter (but first they needed to save people from food poision and save a pregnant mother and her baby as well). Paul and Shannon dealing with relationship issues.

Kenny goes through a lot this season, dealing with what we thought was a new nurse, but turns out to be one hell of a doctor in Cain Diaz (Mark Consuelos). The two butted heads but have found common ground. And even Scott had a very good story, when he tries to save a young paitent, who wanted to remove the tumor on her face but her grandfather wouldn't because he was a Jehovah's Witness. The episode really brough back the Scott Clemmens that we saw before.

And even when TC got back to San Antiono, not only watching him talk to Jordan about Topher but watching them pick up the car of Topher and driivng off listening to one of his horrible music he had on. Not only was the light hearted but funny as well.

The fourth season so far has been nothing but exciting, entertaining and compelling. This esemble cast does such an amazing job along with what the writers have given as well with such powerful characters and storytelling.

Tonight the show returns with an episode unlike anyother, that's stars, directed and written by those that served in the arm forces. From what the promo has show I have no doubt that this episode will be such a moving factor.

You can catch The Night Shift tonight at 10/9c on NBC.

CBS Addresses the fate of Donna on Kevin Can Wait

Well, the fate of Donna has been reviled.

On Tuesday, CBS answered the question about how Kevin Can Wait's Erin Hayes' absence will be addressed after she was dismissed and replaced with Kevin James' former TV co-star Leah Remini.

"The character will have passed away," said Senior Exec. TV of Programming Thom Sherman, before adding that Season 2 will begins with a time jump (but not a big one as daughter Kendra is still planning her wedding when the show returns.)

CBS' Entertainment President Kelly Kahl later added that Donna's death "will be addressed tasteful" and "with dignity and respect." He calls Hayes "a terrific actress," but added "when everybody collectively saw how Leah and Kevin worked together in those last couple of episodes (the season finale), there was just an undeniable spark there. Kevin, the studio (Sony) and the network wanted to keep that magic and chemistry going forward."

Even the regards of speculation that the show could turn into The King of Queens, Sherman addressed, "No, I don't think so. I think the show speaks for itself and stands for itself. Obviously, the chemistry (between James and Remini) was amazing in the stunt episodes."

In the two part season one finale, retired cop Kevin returns to the force as part of an ongoing undercover case with former partner Vanessa Cellucci (Remini). After the case was closed, Kevin returned home to learn that Donna had quit her job as a school nurse because she was passed up for a promotion, meaning that both of them were now unemployed.

Kevin Can Wait Season 2 premieres Monday, Sept. 25 at 9/8c on CBS.

Arrow-verse Crossover Event Set for November

The CW has announced on Wednesday at the Television Critics Associations Summer press tour that the network will air another Arrow-verse crossover event.

The event will take place across four shows on two nights. The action event will kick off on Monday, Nov. 27 on Supergirl, followed by a special Monday episode of Arrow. Then it'll continue into Tuesday, Nov. 28 on The Flash and concludes that night on Legends of Tomorrow.

There no storyline details right now but that could change later today as assorted #DCTV EP appears at TCA panels.

"We felt that it would be better and tighter in storytelling...This was the best way to go," said CW boss Mark Pedowitz, explaining why the scheduling change up of the special Monday episode of Arrow.

"Next year we may go back to four nights," Pedowitz allowed.

The Arrow-verse began in December 2014 with a crossover event that took place on The Flash and then Arrow. Then in December 2015, Legends of Tomorrow villain Vandal Savage targeted Central City's barista Kendra Saunders, triggering the involvement of Flash and Arrow heroes once again. And last year's four show, three night crossover event folded in Supergirl, as the Super friends were battling the alien race known as The Dominators.

The Good Place & The Blacklist Get an Early Start

Image result for The Good Place NBC



Looks like The Good Place has been granted with a heavenly Season 2 launched date.

NBC has announced on Monday that the Kirsten Bell-Ted Danson comedy will kickoff the second season a week early, Wednesday, Sept. 20 at 10/9c with a special one hour episode that follows immediately of the high-rated two hour season finale of America's Got Talent. Then the following week, the show will settle into it's regular day and time, Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8:30/7:30c after Superstore.

The Good Place isn't the only one starting it's season a week early, The Blacklist, which is to kick off it's fifth season on Wednesday, Oct. 4, will start a week earlier on Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 8/7c. It's replacing a special standalone Blind Audition episode of The Voice, which will be placed into the normal Monday-Tuesday installments.

What do you think of the early moves? I was wondering who was going to get the special after AGT season finale spot as I had The Blacklist, but The Good Place is another great choice.
