Defend with No Fear: The Blacklist "The Pharmacist (No. 124)"/"The Pawnbrokers (146/147)"

"The Pharmacist (No. 124)"

As Red is being prosecuted, he gives Liz another blacklister, Dr. Stark, a bio-scientist, who's in need of help after reports of an unauthorized human trial for MCDD has killed people. Liz and the team learn that Stark is not aware that his assistant is the one ruining the trails because of another company in competition. Later Dembe asked to see Dr. Stark and talked to him about his deal with Reddington. 

Meanwhile, Reddington goes alone to defend himself and pulls a big move of letting the judge that he has an agreement with the FBI. After things were looking good for Red, it turns out that he vailed the terms by of the FBI agreement and is taken into jail for a small time till another hearing is scheduled.

"The Pharmacist" was a very good and interesting episode. The blacklister of the week wasn't as thrilling like others but it was interesting to see that one isn't what you would call a killer, but a man trying to find a cure. Also, I think he might be apart of something for Reddington down the road. The trail was one that I couldn't get enough of and boy was it a thrill. Even though I knew Red was going to jail one way or another, but the way it was going it looked like he was going to go free. Good writing along with a strong performance from Spader that remains me of his character from The Practice and Boston Legal.

Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

"The Pawnbrokers (No. 146/147)"

Red is in jail and is making some friends, while Liz and the task force deal with a couple that has something that they shouldn't. Here's a recap!

As Red is settling in jail, he quickly strikes enemies with Alfonso, as they threaten to kill him. But Red doesn't fear them and finds a way to get in touch with Dembe; getting help from a rat and the prison sewer pipes. While there Red makes friends with a young kid, who becomes a bit of his right-hand assistant. But as the day came instead of fighting, Red speaks to everyone about why Alfonso is in jail and it wasn't for killing anyone. Soon Alfonso gets word that he's been released and later gets killed from the boss that he cheated on.

Meanwhile, the blacklisters of the week happen to be a married couple, who owns a pawnshop and takes in stuff that no other pawnshops take exchange for loans. Liz and the task force sends in Samar undercover to retrieve highly confidential information. But just as Samar gets it, they are all both ambushed by the Chinese but stops them just before they get to the embassy.

And Jennifer and Liz found what is their biggest lead to Reddington's past so far; thanks to the computer tech, once he gave it another shot.

"The Pawnbrokers" is such a brilliant episode and is one that defines that this show still has teeth for their characters. Just watching Reddington being put into a different environment still has its thrills and enjoyment. The performance was very good and the writing was as good as it could be. The slowly growing Jennifer and Liz storyline is making me want to see more and more happen. The intense is really killing me.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Fridays at 9/8c on NBC.

Throwback Moments: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Fights the Fire Monster"/"Kimmy Is In a Love Square!"

"Kimmy Fights the Fire Monster" 

Opening up with a 90's throwback style introduction to Titus's sitcom idea, "Magic Boy," we see that Titus has been following around Ilan from the car wash to the grocery store. As Titus makes the first move, they get to know one another. But apparently, Ilan isn't who he says he is, as he's working for Mr. Frumpus and trying to get dirt on Titus so he wouldn't talk about what had happened

Meanwhile, as Kimmy tries to distribute her children's book, she reunites with Donna Marie. But she isn't too pleased to have seen her and tries to get distance with her projects. With their past in the bunker, Kimmy tries to give her a friendship bracelet. Donna didn't want it until they talked and kicked a surprise birthday Elmo with sparklers that reminded them of the bunker. Donna realizes that she's not over and accepts Kimmy's bracelet.

After meeting a young man, Jacqueline hangs out with Lillian at a Bed, Bath and Beyond type store where younger men win over 40 and older women. But she realizes that the man Jacquline sees is her friend's son, and everyone shuts it down.

"Kimmy Fights the Fire Monster" was terrific from the beginning to the end of a return episode. I couldn't pick one storyline in this episode as both match point to one another as funny and robust character development. I couldn't get enough of the "Magic Boy" intro. It made me want to watch a 90's sitcom; the Jacqueline and the girl's montage at the store was hilarious, and Kimmy and Donna's montage in the bunker kicking the fire monster and kicking Elmo was so funny. And even  Jon Bernthal was as hilarious as Ilan. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"Kimmy is in a Love Square!"

Should he tell, or should he not? Titus learns that of reports against Mr. Frumpus, and it causes not only a #MeToonys movement but denials from news networks like Fox Kids. Lillian tries to get Titus to speak to Roman Farrow after he had called to interview Titus, while Jacqueline tries to tell Titus not to go for it. But after filling in for a commercial for Dairy Queen, Titus decides to speak out. At least he got his story out, but he had no fame when going to the Tonys.

Meanwhile, Kimmy goes out on a date with a co-worker, Josh, but instead of liking him, she wants his parents. It becomes a triangle affair and one that Jacqueline finds weird. It gets to the point where Kimmy and Josh's parents go behind Josh's back to hang out together, from watching late-night TV to playing board games. But Josh catches them, and Kimmy leaves Josh's parents.

"Kimmy is in a Love Square!" was an excellent episode. It had hilarious moments, mainly Kimmy hanging out with Josh's parents. The episode took another stab at the #MeToo movement that had a balance of funny and serious at times: good writing, performance, and character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch all four seasons of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix now.
