Promos:

I am so ready for the return of This Is Us. As much I enjoy a nice hiatus (due to work and other things), I'm ready to get in with what looks to be a Kevin center episode. Does anyone feel that we're in the Big Three trilogy for this season? Because after the previous episode with Randall, I'm thinking we're in the part of the season where we dive into these three characters. 

Emotions were high in the previous episode for me and it looks like this upcoming episode will be as high as well.

Callback: Chicago Fire "Funny What Things Remind Us"

 

After this week's episode of Chicago Fire, I craved donuts. 

Intense Pressure: Chicago Med "In Search of Forgiveness, Not Permission"

This week's episode of Chicago Med was once against very good as they pushed these characters to new limits. 

Tomb Radar Anime Series Coming to Netflix

 

Looks like Lara Croft is taking her adventures to Netflix. 

TVLine and The Hollywood Reporter have reported on Wednesday that Netflix adding more of its anime series with Tomb Radar. 

The streaming service giant will be picking up after the events of the highly successful video game reboot trilogy, the Tomb Radar that was released from 2013-2018. Tasha Huo, of the upcoming Netflix's The Witcher: Blood Origin prequel series, is set to write and executive producer the series.

Grey's Anatomy vet Camilla Luddington was the voice of Lara in all three of those rebooted trilogy. There's no voice casting has been announced yet.

Not to mention, Netflix's partnership with Legendary will create Skull Island, an anime series based on the 2017 movie Kong: Skull Island.

I'm so freakin excited for this news. I'm a big Tomb Radar fan (yet I've only played one game that happened to be a demo for the PS1). But I've watched my brother play the reboot series from the Xbox. 

I hope that Camilla Luddington would still be the voice for Lara in this series, it would make sense if it's a continuation from the video games. 

Also, I'm a fan of Kong Skull Island, and while I have mixed emotions about Kong vs Godzilla. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do with the series.

The Moment: Chicago PD "Tender Age"

 

Talk about stealing the moment at the right time. 

"Tender Age" was an intense and dramatic episode that pretty much succeeded my expectations from the previews. I couldn't get enough of it, which I thought had seemed to be another great Burgess episode until that final scene. 

Burgess and the intelligence unit pick up a homicide case that leaves a little girl the only witness who might have seen what had happened. As the case unfolds, they linked the connection to the little girl's father, who only wanted to be with his daughter. Burgess bonds and protects the child, probably giving her second thoughts about having children. 

But let's talk about the big elephant in the room from this episode; just when I thought that Burgess won this episode, a curveball came when Upton and Halstead finally talked about her contract with the FBI. Upton asked Halstead where or not she should go, and of course, he only wanted what was best for her. That ended with Upton telling her feelings for Halstead,, and the two kissing. It looks like she's not going to the New York FBI taskforce (sorry, CBS!). 

I loved this episode so much. Burgess was a force of nature doing anything to protect that child and to take down the suspect. It also gave us some perfect Burzek moments, mainly the boat discussion, which I found hilarious. Just when I thought that this was another Burgess-winning episode, which serves right to be. I didn't see the Upton and Halstead relationship take effect just like that at the end.  

I released a poll on my Twitter page a couple of days after the episode aired to ask who had the best first kiss during this season of #OneChicago: Brettsey or Upstead. The results came in, with 56.7 percent choosing Upstead and 43.3 percent picking Brettsey. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Much Needed Space: Chicago Fire "Smash Therapy"

Nothing like smashing stuff to get the anger out, right? 

Reunited: Chicago Med "Do You Know the Way Home?"

 

Well, that had happened!

"Do You Know the Way Home?" was another fantastic episode with many excellent stories that some of them couldn't get out of my mind after watching and rewatching. 

From Ethan and April's tension after he ordered her to work from the COIVD wing to the ED because they needed the staff that leads to her and Dr. Charles taking care of a patient that could have been abducted years ago. The outcome of the story was so memorable with April and Dr. Charles getting Ethan to help but seeing the patient and her biological mother reunited that just gets you to grab the tissues. 

Another tissue story in this episode comes to Will and a patient that seemed to be quantified for his new heart treatment drug but the patient's daughter and his caretaker didn't want it and ordered that Will stop treating him. But just as her father was about to have a severe risk surgery, his heart starts to act up and Will steps up and saves him doing a slow and intense procedure. 

As Natalie is on FactTime duty with patients, who call about their health problems, one has shown some serious concerns and that she must become to the ED but wouldn't. After calling back a few more times with even more serious conditions the truth comes that all she wanted was to talk to someone as her son hasn't visited or called her in years. That was another tissue moment. 

Crockett receives a patient who happens to be his ex and tries to fulfill her wishes or no surgery but she would later need it. As they reminisce about the old days, Natalie sees that he was a bit sad; even after he sees his ex's fiance. Natalie talks to Crockett on the roof and tries to show not only friendship but maybe a romance with a kiss on his back/his shoulder. 

Overall, I enjoyed this episode very much. I don't know about you but I'm getting tired of Ethan going back and forth from being strict to breaking the rules here and there. He's been on the show for six years and still doesn't trust his colleague's judgments? 

While I thought Will pushed the drug trial on the elder patient and deserve the reaction from the patient's daughter. After the trial drug might have clouded his judgment to taking care of a patient, he gained much respect. 

I don't know what to think of the Natalie and Crockett relationship. I think the kiss might have been too much even if it was on his back. I think maybe a hug would have been a better outcome to show friendship. But I do see how Natalie wants to help him move on from his pain. Well, see where that goes. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10,
