Beyond The Events Around Us: Weekend Catch Up Part 13

iZombie "Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blue

When a murder of a country singer is found strangled, takes on as a country singer and a very good one at that.

Not only does Liv get that country singer in her but she also wrote a song based on her relationship with Major, who I thought they were going to break their relationship off again. They asked the boyfriend and even the creepy bar owner who was hitting on her but in the end, it turned out that the victim was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Turned out to be a robber, who just pulled a robbery at a store and dropped the gun at the same neighborhood.

Not only does Liv rediscovers love, but Clive experiences it to with an FBI agent looking into missing high profile cases. Also I can't put more stress on it that I've very much happy to see Peyton and Liv back together as friends. And just thought Liv and Major were done for, they came back to each others arms, or should I say that Major came back to her arms.

I enjoyed this episode so much that some of the phrases that Liv keeps say stuck in my head, mostly the "well, butter my button and call it a biscuit

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10

You can catch iZombie Tuesday nights at 9/8c on The CW.

Arrow "Beyond Redemption"  

When a task force is killing and stealing drug money, its up to the Green Arrow and the team to stop them and get some help from Lance. Also Oliver makes it official on running for Star City mayor.

For an episode to tell this kind of story, it feels more like a fell in than anything. Yeah the criminals were cops trying to make more at what they are making. I can understand that. I feel like the only thing that got done in this episode was that Oliver and the team got new digs, Laurel shows Quentin that Sara is alive.

But probably the only thing that got the episode any taste was the head butting of Oliver and Quentin, not only asking for his recommendation for Mayor but talking about Quentin's relationship with Dahrk. I will say that this was Paul Blackthorne's best performance so far. He had a lot on his plate more than any other character in this episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Arrow Wednesday nights at 8/7c on The CW.

Code Black: "Doctor With Borders" 

When a epidemic of respiratory illness comes to the hospital, Neal and the team race against time to treat and figure out what this illness is. Also a patient comes in with barbwire in his leg.

This episode showed it's best for Raza Jaffery as Dr. Hudson. On top of the epidemic, finding out that his mother is suffering too. He deals with not only professional but also personal when his dad butts in as well. I was very astonished from Jaffery's performance.  

It soon turned out that it's not a deadly virus but a chlorine based where it burns through the throat, creating air from getting out.

Also watching Angus and Mario butted heads again was once again okay. These two are a bit of a bossom buddies rivalry. I have to hand it to Angus that he stepped up and never backed down from what he thinks and believes.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Code Black Sunday nights at 10/9c on CBS.

Heroes Reborn: "June 13th Part 1" 

In this part one of the two part episode, there were questions that were answered in this stunning episode.

Noah and Hiro tracks back to the event of June 13th 2014 at the Submit. Mohinder receives a message from Angela about Erica's plan. Noah and Hiro try to find Claire until Noah relives some of the events that happen before the event.

Angela gets to Hiro and Noah and informs him that Claire had called her that she's in the hospital. Noah goes with Angela while Hiro stops Harris along with Mohinder. They couldn't stop the bombs from going off.

Meanwhile, Noah finds out that Claire has died not from the blast, but from childbirth. And here's another shocker for ya, they're twins, a boy and a girl. Noah finally understand why he couldn't remember the event that took place, because he was hiding the whereabouts of Claire's kids.

Both of the kids were gone to separate ways, Nathan went to a nurse and Malina went to someone else. Nathan is who we know as Tommy.

So the point of this season I'm guessing is Save the Cheerleader's children, save the world.

This was hands down the best episode so far. There were a lot of questions answered and even though there are still more, it was literally the best hour of television, along side with The Blacklist.

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch Heroes Reborn Thursday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

The Player "The Norseman" 

This show is more entertaining than any other new drama show. After watching this episode, I can't believe that a lot of viewers aren't watching it.

When a bet is on to take down a killer, Alex not only takes him down but does it twice. The killer is more of witchcraft kinda of guy that needs to kill for the spirit. But after Alex take him down once, the killer gets revenge and takes his niece to do the final task.

Alex is furious and goes after the guy. After a few bumps and cuts, he comes and beats the crap out of him. But doesn't kill him or take him into custody. Alex stop him from killing after midnight and won the bet. That leaves The Dealer to come and clean up.

Oh my god, Wesley Snipes is amazing. I can never tell if he's good or bad but that fight scene was superb the best fight scene in a while.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Player Thursday night's at 10/9c on NBC.

A Battle of Rights: Doctor Who "The Zygon Invasion"

What a perfect time for this episode to air in the US on Halloween night.

This episode opens up with a flashback to The Day of the Doctor when the Three Doctors made UNIT and the Zygons made peace. We see Osgood back and making a video of how they made a peace treaty, along with showing a box to indicate if anything goes wrong.

The Zygons kidnapped Osgood, and it's up to the Doctor, Clara, and UNIT to scatter to free her. The Doctor goes to the Middle East, Clara stays in London, and Kate goes to New Mexico. But when things start to rattle, and the Doctor has caught a Zygon, a surprise comes about and leaves the episode with a giant cliffhanger as the Doctor is on his Presidential plane.

It's hands down one of the best cliffhanger episodes yet. I didn't even see this one coming at all. Who knew that Clara was a Zygon and was held in a pod? I was stunned and amazed.
And I should say that it's great to see Osgood back, even if she is a hybrid of a Zygon and Human, something that's been a lot in this season. Osgood is one of my favorite supporting characters, even with her wardrobe, wearing the scarf to the questions on her collar.

And I couldn't get enough of the Doctor, not only playing Amazing Grace in the TARDIS but also confronting kids at a park. It looks so weird and wrong from a stranger's perspective, but it was hilarious.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Doctor Who on Saturday nights at 9/8c on BBC America.

Michael: Happy Halloween!

A Treat Unlike Any Other: Friday Night Comedy

Undateable "Halloween Walks Into a Bar"

This Halloween episode of Undateable had all the tricks and treats to fill that sweet tooth of comedy. When Danny makes a case that Justin is too romantic with Candice, it gets him upset even though he's in love with her.

Talk about the hug toll and rubbing her shoulders in bed whisper "I'm still here." Justin gets advice from Danny and the gang, and gets him to dress up as a superhero to face Candice of her little chat. As Justin faces Candice, she expresses her feelings about how annoying he is with certain things but not a moment later that she expressed that she's in love with him.

This episode was a very good and yummy treat. I loved each cast members costumes from Danny as a horny horse, Brett as Captain Smith from Titanic, Adam as the Jewish Wolverine with some heath issues and Shelly as Winnie the Pooh. The funniest scene was when Justin answered the trick or treaters and it turned out to be the gang and Shelly spots apples and toothbrushes and that he's going to burn the his place to the ground and dumps the bowl.

And a surprise guest appears which I believe Whitney Cummings came on as Danny's love interest, dressing up in the same outfit as him.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Undateable Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Truth Be Told "Big Black Coffee"

When a babysitting job turns horribly wrong, is it best for the babysitter, who's male, to tell them what had happen?

When Mitch decides to babysit not only his kid but the neighbor's kid too, the situation goes from wild to uncanny when he takes them to Russel's house. There the neighbor's kid comes into a bathroom where Russel so happens to be taken a shower seeing everything.

That got everyone upset in what to do with this situation. They choice not to tell so it lead to the neighbor's own babysitter to be fired.

Meanwhile with that situation going, Tracy is trying to put on a great birthday party for her little girl that the moms can enjoy. She had a plan but the plan backfired and almost turned out too be bad until Russel comes out dressing up as the mascot from the frozen yogurt that he was auditioning for until his pants ripped and showed his little carrot around the kids.

This episode was hilarious. Probably better than last week's episode. I can't get enough of Paul and Vanessa, they are amazing together. They used the phrase BBC which means a totally different term than just British Broadcasting Company not to mention that I'm still trying to figure out what CSPAN would mean.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Truth Be Told Friday nights at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

The X-Files "The Truth" Promo (HD)

Here's another latest promo for The X-Files miniseries.

The X-Files "Spooky Experience" Promo (HD)

Here's a new promo for The X-Files.

Blazing in Shock: The Blacklist "Aroich Cain"

Tonight's episode was full or suspense and surprises. This was literately one of the best episodes of the season.

The episode opens up to Red and Mr. Kaplan cleaning up things in an airport warehouse. Soon, word is out in the news that Liz is dead and a photo is shown. After that, we jump 12 hours before where Red and Liz are making a run. Liz waits for ride while Red informs Ressler about a bounty on Liz.

But just as Liz gets to the car, shots are fired and things go from "WTF?!" to "OMG!" as Liz tries to escape the shooter. The way that she does was break in a car, lay vertical, hot wire the car , break the rear-view mirror ad drive in a totally badass way.

Liz meets up with Red and goes to a source that knows that shooter. They get some answers and heads towards the shooter. They get to his room and the guy shoots the door and runs for it. Liz chases him until he makes a deep leap to the next building but hangs, but with a help from Red, he tells him that if he's dead there will be more coming for her. The guy was let go.

The bounty gets more serious than everyone thought, as it's on a website and money goes to the winner. Think of it like kickstarter for killers.

As Liz and Red are on the move, they thought they were going to meet Dembe but it was Vargas. He tells him that Dembe died from Solomon and took him to the airport where Solomon and his gang. He takes both and tries to show Red how he should be fearing him while he's about to cut Liz up.

That's when a surprise comes out a blaze...Dembe!!! Another great scene when seeing him shooting like glory and than comes to Red and hug it out. But he was still wounded from the bullets and was taken to the hospital.

That's where Mr. Kaplan comes in and tries to clean things up and also make sure that the public know that Liz is dead. It did the trick and a code was shown for to access. That's when Red and Liz moved to where the place was located and if you thought that it was the guy, guess again. It was the guy's daughter.

She tells how she lost her mother and blames it on Liz, but she has no clue about it. But she made a promise to find the killer in exchange for Liz to be off the website. And now they're off and out of the city.

Meanwhile, Ressler had to appear in front of a US Committee to testify of what's been going on with the investigation. From where it was going I thought it was going to be smooth but at the end, the ruling came down that the FBI and the CIA will be working together, that includes sharing information with The Director.
Its nice to see Aram get to be the badass for once when he interview the suspect. Him and Samar worked great handling the case while Ressler was away.

And I'll just say this that Red and Mr. Vargas are done doing business with each other.

The show started off intense and it rode so so high as I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Oh my god, there were so many moments from Liz driving the car to Dembe coming out blazing a shooting to even the daughter wanting to have Liz killed. It was a classic Blacklist episode.

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

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