"The Flies Don't Lie" Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Gintars"




As Jake helps Charles with a family problem; Rosa and Terry think that Amy and Holt's favorite forensic guy could be a fraud. Here's a recap!!

When Jake noticed that he and Charles are being followed, they lose him just enough to surprise him. But it would be a surprise to them as it was Gintars, Charle's adoptive son's real father. Charles lets his son bond with Gintars and soon it starts to worry on him. After hearing all the moaning and groaning, Jake tries to help and gets Gintars to confess that his GAPE clothing company is fake and gets him arrested. After stopping the whole arrested with Gintars, Jake fixed it and apologize to Charles for his  helping, but added with two best friends hats that happen to not fit/

As Rosa and Terry have a hard time closing a murder case of locating blood; Holt and Amy summoned Dr. Yee, a forensic guy that specializes with flies that can indicate blood. Of course, Amy and Holt go gaga over him but Terry and Rosa have a feeling that he's not all that great til Rosa got to try them out and learn that Yee's flies can't indicate blood. Yee confesses to Holt and Amy and apologize, but Rosa got to use those flies by getting a confession out of the suspect.

Meanwhile, Terry has been going throw bug issues at home; and not only shaved his eyebrows but bleach his goatee as well. Even with a peel on fake eyebrows it still didn't help as everyone still made fun of him.

"Gintars" was a very good episode. As much as I enjoyed the Amy/Holt/Terry/Rosa storyline; it was the Jake/Charles storyline that was one that I enjoyed the most and probably one of my favorites between the two characters. The episode had strong writing and performances from Samberg and Truglio. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"You Get What You Get" A.P. Bio "Nuns"

Could Jack get away of taking back of what is his even though it belongs to the church? Here's a recap!

After becoming the new Driver's Ed instructor, Jack sees an opportunity to take what belongs to him when he learns that before his mother died donated money to the church for a statue. Trying to get his class to help him pull it off, none wanted to do it. That was until he gets three of them for the driver's class and gets Victor to drive to the church.

Anthony, who goes to this church, doesn't want to help but after a little convincing he does. But the next day, Ralph and Helen informed Jack about the church called about their statue was stolen and a witness saw the school Driver's ed car. Thinking that they would send a priest to interview Jack's students turned out to be nuns.  A freakout Jack worries and gets his students to lie at their best, but these nuns can see right through them, but without telling them anything.

Jack learns that Anthony left his retainer at the church and decides to get the students to return the statue while he talks with the nuns. In the process, Jack gets interrogated by the nuns and comes clean that he could have been a better son to his mother. But before confessing, the nuns get a call that their statue had returned.

"Nun" was a good episode that probably would bring back so memories of a childhood encounter with nuns. Even though the chemistry between Jack, Victor, Heather, and Anthony is amazing and they play one another perfectly in the episode. The chemistry between Ralph and Helen is unbelievable; even if they were in the episode for a short time. The episode had good writing and good character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

After getting their downgrade Fitbit watches, our beloved Cloud 9 store coworkers not motivated to do the challenge; Amy, Dina, and Jonah come up with a way to get them to motivate: telling them that another store is making fun of them.

After the first-day things were looking good; Amy and Dina took it to another level. They get the gang to think that Bel-Ridge sprayed painted the outside store with profound names. That led to everyone hating Bel-Ridge and not only calling out a customer, but some of the employees went to Bel-Ridge to make their store a mess and dump hot deer urine.

As Glenn got word about what happened at Bel-Ridge; Amy confesses that she wanted everyone to participate in the challenge because she wanted to win and also Dina wanted to beat Colleen but she didn't admit it.  Genn tries to write a letter to the Bel-Ridge Cloud 9 store manager with Garrett that turned into an "I love you" letter in a way. As things were looking good; Jonah let someone go in their breakroom. Didn't realized that Bel-Ridge made a comeback at them by destroying their breakroom.

"Steps Challenge" was such a hilarious and memorable episode. There were many moments that made this episode a standout; from Amy, Dina, and Jonah discussing how the other stores doing the step challenge; to Glenn's accidents plus writing a letter to the Bel_Ridge manager with Garrett's help.  Strong writing with great character development. The ensemble cast gave a great performance. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Waiting, Waiting and Waiting: This Is Us "The Waiting Room"

Image result for this is us the waiting room


Waiting is the hardest thing to do! Tuesday's episode made it the definition as the Pearson family were waiting for any news of Kate and the baby. Tension rises, admission admitted, and emotions go all over the place in this week's episode of This Is Us. Here's a recap!

"The Waiting Room" was an intense emotional drive episode that really depicts the reality of what it's like to be waiting when you worried about someone; but also have so much on your mind. Waiting to see if Kate will be okay and the baby would make to full term; we learn from the doctor that things are looking good and that it's just a waiting game.

As the episode progress, we see Kevin worried; but also the discussion of his drinking that later Zoe tells Beth that he's still drinking. Randall and Beth's working hour situation that even got Rebecca and Miguel involved thinking that they could help them, but they have other plans. They do work things out.

Miguel tries to relive the tension with a game Ranch or Chocolate that some of the foods which seemed fun; but got annoying along the way. Even Madison comes and brought donuts and even talked to Miguel about how Kate planned to have a doll of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in front of him so he can have a strong female figure.

But during Randall and Kevin's argument, Rebecca, who has been quiet, hasn't eaten and not moved from her seat, finally spoken out and talks about what she went through with Jack before he died; but tells them that they are here for Kate and the baby and everything else needs to check out the door.

Soon Kevin gets word that Kate is in emergency c-section, but soon Toby comes out and tells everyone that he's here and very small, but alive. The baby is in the NICU and as we see the episode close; Kate grabs Toby's hand and talks to her father to introduce their little guy, Jack. And asked to help their baby to make it through.

This was a very special episode with one clue being that the intro music wasn't playing. This could be one of the strongest bottle episodes in a long time; the performance from Mandy Moore but Chrissy Metz and Chris Sullivan were amazing with high emotions and strong character development. I would really consider for Moore, Metz, and Sullivan to enter them in this episode at the Emmys. Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch This Is Us Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

The Blacklist Renewed for Season 7


It looks like Raymond Reddington's life will be spared after all.

TVLine has confirmed that NBC has renewed The Blacklist for a seventh season. Deadline, which is TVline sister site, first broke the news, that the core cast that includes James Spader, Megan Boone, Diego Klattenhoff and Harry Lennix will all be back for Season 7.

"Congratulations to our amazing producers, cast and crew, all of whom continue to work at the top of their game and make The Blacklist one of NBC's signature series," said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, co-presidents of scripted programming at NBC.

The current season sixth of The Blacklist is currently airing Fridays at 9/8c. In recent outing on March 8th, Reddington pleaded guilty to the numerous criminal charges against him and was sentenced to death- a fate made even more worrying after he failed to escape prison later in the episode. (But with Spader's commitment to Season 7, we can assume that the forthcoming lethal injection doesn't go down as planned.)

The current season is averaging a 0.6 in demo rating and about 4 million total viewers, besting only Blindspot and the already canceled Midnight, Texas among all NBC dramas. The Live+7 DVR playback, those numbers go up to 1.2 and 7.3 million.
