Hey People,

S1 E16
Did you know David was awesome? I always knew. I knew the first time we met him, which is why I was so devastated when he was killed. He solved another tattoo so I'm hoping the tattoo that he solved is also on the puzzle or we'll never know which one he solved.

Weller is officially dating Siobhan Allie and Jane was right she is good for him, but now tree guy is telling her that she needs to get closer to Weller so she can be the only one he trusts. What type of plan is this? Tree guy and Jane have sex, but tree guy is doing it for love and Jane is just doing it for sex. Bet you she was thinking of Weller the whole time.

The tattoo of the week led our team to uncover a smuggling of chemical weapons out of the country. Good thing is the cans were caught in time and no one was hurt other than the bad guys. At least they were only selling to our allies and who knows how long they'll be our allies if Trump becomes president.

Reade is still heartbroken over his breakup with Sarah and Sarah has officially moved out of Kurt's apartment probably because she thinks he had something to do with them breaking up. He tried, but we all know that's not the reason why.

I can't believe Zapata is back to gambling again. Didn't she learn the last time. If she gets in trouble again. I will not mourn for her if she gets killed. Go look up the definition of insanity.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S1 E17 & E18
E17
Flashback! Someone isn't dead. So it looks like Alex's father is still alive at some camp and her and J'onn are going to rescue him. Hopefully, they rescue everyone over there as well.

I think half of this episode was flashbacks which wasn't too bad because I got to see Dean Cain. I don't know if Alex and J'onn going on a journey means they won't be in the next episode but something tells me we'll see a glimpse of them. Lucy is now in charge of the DEO and she now knows Kara is Supergirl. Does this mean there's a chance for Jimmy and Lucy to get back together? Possibly. I'm glad she's back in the fold with the group again. I'm hoping she can become a main for next season.

And then there was Siobhan, who just figured out she has powers. I mean she had to accidentally go over a roof to figure it out, but all that matters is she figures it out.

E18
The Flash came to town! I knew The Flash would show up on Superigirl, but I didn't know how they were going to explain it. It was explained that Barry was from another universe, which is why Kara never heard of The Flash and his posse.

Siobhan became the Silver Banshee. It turns out that her family is cursed and the only way for her to get back to normal is to kill the person who enraged her in the first place aka Kara Danvers. Siobhan teams up with Livewire to take out Cat Grant and Supergirl since they're both protecting Kara from harm. Good thing Barry was in town. Although in my opinion, The Flash didn't really do much but get his ass kicked; however, Barry was a huge plus. He was funny, smart, and didn't annoy the shit out of me. First time ever, the people saved themselves and the heroes.

So here's my problem right. I was reading the comment sections and it turns out I'm not the only one who doesn't like Jimmy and Kara and think they have no chemistry whatsoever. I mean even throughout this episode I was thinking damn Barry and Kara have great chemistry. Too bad he has his own show on another network (big ups to Cat for calling out the CW). I also don't like this Jimmy version at all. He's suave and I just want nerdy Jimmy back. I talked about this problem before when I initially saw the premiere episode and that hasn't changed for me. I don't think many people are rooting for Jimmy and Kara to be end game. So far Barry, Winn, and Cat's son all have better chemistry than these two in descending order. James sucks plain and simple.

Now I thought we were going to get a glimpse of Hank and Alex this episode, but instead, we get Non initiating his plans just after Jimmy and Kara kiss. I'm hoping that everyone can forget that kiss even happened. And I really hope that the writers figure out no one wants to see Jimmy and Kara being a couple.


S2 E15 & E16

Finale, Rogelio was saved from his stalker! And it was so cute how he didn't want to cry so much over the ordeal. Super glad Jane decided to stick around even if it meant skipping her engagement party, but this only mean to me that Jane and Michael are doomed together.

Meanwhile, Rafael bonded with his brother who may or may not be using him. Even the awesome narrator doesn't know the answer. Speaking of bonding, Petra wasn't bonding with the Frozen twins, but by the end of the episode she had a moment with one of them.

Alba got sexy with the bad luck guy. I actually don't believe in bad luck. I think the world has a way of balancing itself out, but believe what you want either way the Villanueva women have a huge ass pipe to fix in their bathroom.

As for Jane, she learned a valuable lesson. Not everyone is going to like you and to lose who don't tell them to fuck off. It makes you feel better when you say it out loud. Trust me.

I'm hoping the season starts picking up soon because ever since Michael and Jane got back together the show has been doing par. I used to look forward to this show. I'm nowhere near quitting, but I expect more from this show.

E16
Jane and Michael were looking for the perfect place and they finally found one with the help of their guardian angel Petra. Who would have thought that Petra would start being nice to Jane. Now Rafael doesn't have to bitch about Mateo being away from him.

Rafael and Michael are working Rafael's brother to see what he knows about Mutter. Xo and Rogelio are on better terms and we got to see Charo! Alba was briefly engaged to bad luck guy, but I didn't think he was bad luck because it seems he gets lucky all the time.

As for poor Petra, I don't know if she's leaving for awhile or if she's selling the babies. Okay, not selling them, but giving them up to someone else. Damn, Petra's mother is a cold bitch. The fact that Petra was packing up her suitcase makes me think she's leaving and just when Jane and her were becoming good friends.


S1 E14 & E15
E14
Zapata went undercover to stop a human trafficking ring. Like I always say, sex is easy to get if you have to pay for it, you're not doing it right. Okay, I don't actually say that but I should. Anyway, they shut it down and it just goes to show you that rich son of a bitches really should spend their money more wisely. Try saving the earth or something.

Jane pretty much sat this one out and because of that the tree guy had to send an untraceable email to the FBI so it would lead them to the human trafficking ring, which also happened to save a man from death row. As Zapata put it, the tattoos are helping. They would have never found those girls if it weren't for the tattoos.

Remember that phone call Zapata got at the end of the last episode? Well it turns out some other office was listening to her to catch the CIA douchebag director and they really want to know why he was so into Jane.

Weller still hasn't changed his mind about Reade and his sister and Reade and Mayfair are still looking into douchebag CIA director. So glad Reade got knocked out at the end of the episode. I thought it was the tree guy, but he was busy talking to Jane so I have no idea who knocked him out.

At the the end of episode, we find out that if Jane didn't cooperate with the tree guy (I really don't care for his name) and the people he works for will kill Weller. Well damn, that's not fair. Now she has to play.

P.S. Weller and Siobhan, I like it. I know I'm crossing different shows, but that woman is Siobhan to me and speaking of Siobhan, Banshee just came back and I have to go watch the last premiere for the show.

E15
I knew once we didn't see Cade's body that he wasn't dead. I don't know why tree guy lied. It only means Jane is still in danger. Long story short, Cade was part of the original group to make the tattoos but he defected once he realized the team was no better than those they were fighting against. And so he's trying to kill Jane to end it all because apparently once Jane dies so does this mysterious plan. But now we know a little bit more and so does Jane. However, they just took a huge step back because they now think Cade is dead.

Reade and Mayfair still don't trust Jane, but Reade now keeps his thoughts to himself since he got threatened by a mysterious guy who told him if he doesn't stop looking into the douchebag director that he'll kill his girlfriend (Weller's sister). Reade broke up with her by the end of the episode. It's really sad when the only part of Reade that I like is when he's associated with Weller's sister. I guess it's back to full on hating him again.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S3 E18
Someone is looking hot with short hair. I have to say, I prefer short over long; although I look better with long. Now Stef looks like Robin Wright and that's not a bad thing at all. She decided to get the implants, which is totally fine. #Boobgirlforlife

Jesus and Mariana were connecting with their biological father, but too bad he was left with Mariana and the cops stopped by and ended up arresting him since he was alone with a minor. It'll get cleared up by the end of this episode.

Brandon and Callie are still in love with each other. Please let your boyfriend/girlfriend go. It's unfair to them and it's unfair for us, the viewers, to watch these awkward scenes of you guys together. As for Mat and Mariana, just get back together. Yes, Mariana is a cheating bitch, but she regrets it until this day and let me just tell you that I've been cheated on and that person wasn't as nearly as sorry as Mariana is, which is why I dumped their ass. #LivingSingle (if you get the TV reference double points for you)


S1 E16
Damm, I almost teared up at this one (key word almost). We all know about Red Kryptonite and how it made Superman an egotistical maniac. Well the same thing happened to Supergirl, but the sad thing is unlike in Smallville, this will have long lasting effect on Kara's relationships. I mean look at Jimmy. He doesn't want anything to do with Kara. Supergirl on Red Kryptonite is equivalent to a drunk man--they tell no lies. This is what Kara really thinks and we all think bad things sometimes, but Red Kryptonite makes her say them out loud. I take that back she's not like a drunk man, she's like Donald Trump #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain

In other news, Hank revealed himself to be an alien to help stop Kara. Too bad, I had hope he would get with that government girl. I'll still be rooting for them. As well as Assistant #1 and Winn. Even though she was a bitch what Kara did was uncool, which will probably bring out the villain in her finally.

As always Cat is the shit and she probably shitted in her pants when she was thrown off the balcony. I laughed, but even I have to admit that shit was crazy.


S1 E13
I am so glad that prick of a dick was the mole, you have no idea. Weller was the only one to believe in Jane's innocence, which is why she no longer wants to work with tree tattoo guy anymore. Mayfair and Reade are back to not trusting Jane because they don't know about her whereabouts the night the douchebag director of the CIA died. As for Zapata, she received a phone call from whomever bugged her.

In other news, Weller told Reade to end it with his sister because he doesn't want his sister to lose another person in her life. It's true what he said, but it's not up to him. As much as I dislike Reade, I think he's a nice fit for her, but what do I know.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

Okay I'm starting to really hate myself. I thought I released this and it's sitting in my draft. Consider me caught up. I thought I would make it back in time from work to write the rest out, but that didn't happen.

S1 E11 & E12
E11
It's so good to have Blindspot back. I forgot how good it was. So Jane really is Taylor Shaw and she did in fact do this to herself. Can we start calling her Taylor now or is she forever dubbed Jane? How about Jane Shaw? We'll figure it out later. For consistency of this post I'll just keep it to Jane for now until the show starts calling her by her actual name.

The tattoo of the week led the team to a a missing plane and of course terrorists got their hands on the plan and were planing on disarming the US's GPS and our team had to stop them, which of course they did. While I think it's impossible at the angle that they were coming in that they would be able to land safely, I'll let it slide because it was exciting and it helped prove to the douchbag that Patterson is vital to the team. Man did that dude suck balls. He really is gunning for Mayfair's job.

In the end, what I said in my review was spot on. I predicted correctly and that's always a win for me. Jane will have to decide which team she'll help, which will be very interesting to see because we, the viewers, don't know if Taylor Shaw is a good guy or a "good guy" as in they think they're good and doing a good thing but they're actually just fucking people over. We'll have to wait and see and I can' wait. Bring on the next episode!

E12
Tattoo of the week led out team to a crazy militia that was experimenting on soldiers to make the ultimate soldier. Of course, our team stopped it, but sadly Weller killed the drugged soldier before he killed Jane. I agree with Jane I don't think he should have died, but if she wanted to stop him, she should have mentioned his mother before the fight even began. The good thing about him being drugged again is he wouldn't remember Jane lying to him.

Jane is starting to doubt if the FBI are the good guys. I don't agree that everything is black and white like Weller said and I'm hoping that his talk with his father made him realize that things aren't always what they seem--his father wanted to commit suicide (really sad but well acted scene). I'm guessing Jane switching the pens was a trust test (or maybe there really was something to the pen), either way she's in for it now. And it turns out she was in Orion as well, but she died. Is Jane a super soldier? That would make a lot of sense.

P.S. Loved what Mayfair said to Patterson about when it catches up to her, and it will catch up to her, it will only hurt more.
P.P.S. Reade is dating Weller's sister. He's a dead man.


S1 E14 & E15

Supergirl was hating hard last week. She was hating on her new coworker and she was hating really hard on Hank. Poor Hank. He didn't kill Astra, but Supergirl thinks he did. Eventually, Alex is going to crack and blurt out the truth. Kara will be mad for a bit and then get over it because she's her sister. I would like this storyline to go another way, something different perhaps, but for now that's where I see it going.

Jimmy Olsen wants to come clean to Lucy about Kara being Supergirl and I have got some news for Jimmy. Telling her that Kara is Supergirl will not fix his relationship with her, it will only make matters worse, especially if she already figured out Kara has/had a crush on Jimmy. Girl isn't stupid, which is why I like her so much.

As for the lesson of the week, justice is justice and everyone deserves it even if you know they are guilty, which tide into the villain of the week who was executing escapees from Fort Rozz.

E15
I love how when Supergirl knew Hank killed her aunt she didn't even want to be around him, but when she finally finds out her sister actually killed her, she gives her a great big old hug. Hero's sometimes make no sense. We all knew the forgiveness was coming, but I wish they went the different route just to see what would happen. And it also wouldn't have made Supergirl look like a hypocrite.

Kara figured out she needs to DEO just as much as they need her. Stronger together people, just in case you missed it the first few times they mentioned it throughout this episode.

Apparently, Jimmy is in love with Kara and Kara is in love with Jimmy. Hope Lucy doesn't go anywhere. I don't know about you, but I am totally not rooting for this couple. Winn on the other hand, I am rooting for. Who knew Assistant #1 would turn out to be someone I like.

P.S. Wasn't it great to see 2 Supergirls in the same episode? Would have been even awesomer if we saw 3, if you know what I mean. I'm glad she's not dead.
P.P.S. Wasn't it super awesome to see the fort?


S3 E15, E16, E17

Privatization is not always a good thing. For Justina to use charter schools as an example was horrible. charter schools are still public and if they don't meet their requirements the government can shut them down. If you privatize adoption, how would that fix the current problem of kids not speaking up about their bad homes? And even if a kid did speak up, then the government would have to get evidence and then sue. It's not as easy as Justina makes it out, but that's for Callie to figure out.

Speaking of Callie, she's moving forward with AJ, which is just horrible since they still have no chemistry whatsoever. Brandon is also moving forward with the mom, but as discovered in this episode, it's not so easy taking care of a kid. A kid is basically taking care of another kid.

I guess everyone is starting to date other people because Mariana finally went on a date with that jerk, who almost killed them in a street race. That guy is nothing but trouble. Go back to Mat, Mariana. Jesus also went on a date with Lexi and all I have to say to that is #whothefuckcares. I understood that Jesus was curious about his father, but when he wants nothing to do with you, I say move on.

As for the parents, Stef is recuperating from her surgery and everything went well. Stef and Lena are still good.

E16
Monte you are dead to me. It's one thing to try to get with the VP especially when there were mixed signals (that are no longer mixed anymore), but to kiss a high schooler, it's on bitch. That's definitely a line you do not cross and I can't believe she crossed. I mean I was thinking that this storyline might happen, but I tossed it aside because Monte has problems with boundaries, but I didn't think that extended to age. And I don't think the girl is lying either. She has no reason to lie since Monte has been helping her with her school project. I think it's time for Lena to become principal.

As for Stef, she's having issues handling her anger because of her mastectomy and it looks like Jesus is having the same problem because of his father not wanting anything to do with him, but they'll get over it eventually. I don't know if Gabe will serve a bigger role in the show because of he's a registered sex offender and his kids are younger than 18 and I don't think it can be expunged because he already served the time, so I don't see how, but you never know with this show. Maybe I'm missing something.

I have to say as much as the douche is in fact a douche, him and Mariana have more chemistry together than Brandon's or Callie's new love interests. I really thought the argument against Romeo & Juliet was really stupid. It was called a stupid play so I was saying to myself that if she thinks it's stupid than why would you think teenagers would follow it. Let's admit it, Romeo and Juliet were both stupid with what they did. Oh let me drink this and act like it killed me and not tell you about my plan. It is stupid, but I don't think there is a correlation with kids committing suicide because they read Romeo & Juliet. Just like I don't think games make people violent. If games or even plays makes you hurt someone or yourself than you were messed up before you even picked up the controller or book. So I'm glad that show will go on.

E17
I can totally feel the heat coming from the previous post. I wast steamed about the Monte kiss, but it turns out it wasn't Monte at all. I didn't even consider the fact that the girl could actually be gay. I'm ashamed at myself and I apologize to the fake character Monte.

It was Mariana's and Jesus's birthday and dang if I had a party like that for my birthday when I was younger I would have been legendary. Mariana is trying to get Gabe off the sex offender list so he can reconnect with Jesus and her. I guess Ana seeing Gabe made her think of the journey not taking and she ended up getting high. Hopefully, she gets back on track.

Brandon and Callie are just horrible people when you think about. I get that they can't be together, but no one wants to be 2nd either. I mean it speaks volume when they both meet with their boyfriend/girlfriend and they can clearly tell something is up between the 2 that there is unresolved feelings still lingering. How in the world does no one in the family not see it when 2 strangers can see it as clear as day? This will be a slow kill.

Poor Jude. I mean the fact that he didn't know that basically every kid learns about sex through porn just screams to me that he's either way behind or too innocent. If he was shocked about his search on porn, then he should definitely not see my searches (whatever you're thinking I'm not that kinky).


S2 E12, E13, E14

I heard that Michael would be back in the picture, but I didn't know the extent or even how it could possibly happen especially because he kept his distance from Jane, but now it make sense. But what doesn't make sense is why we are going in circles with this relationship. If Michael and Jane are end game, then just let them be together no more other people coming in the mix anymore. I honestly don't care who she ends up with anymore, whether it be Michael or Rafael, but please let her choose and stick with it. I'm glad she shut the door on Rafael. It has to be like that sometimes. It's the only way to truly get over someone (when you know there's no way it could happen). Close the door and don't look back Rafael.

So Jane couldn't lose her virginity because it wasn't with the right guy and she needs her first time to be with the right man. Even though Alba didn't save herself for marriage (say what?), she wanted Jane to, but I'm glad she told Jane that if she did, she wouldn't judge her. Now Jane might possibly have her first time with Michael now that Rose is out of the picture and can no longer hurt Jane or Mateo. But with this show, it's never that easy. And how will Rafael react when he finds out?

As I said before, I knew Xo and Rogelio would break up. There is no compromise when it comes to wanting kids or not.

Petra and Jane being friends was everything I hoped it to be. They are friends with the fakeness and I love it. I hope we see more of them in the future.

As for Luisa, maybe she won't forgive herself over what happened to Rose, but then come to realize that she cared more about the detective getting shot than her ex dying. One can only hope. But I'm really going to miss Rose and Luisa's epic love story. I can't believe Mutter killed her own step daughter. Then again Rose killed her husband. This family is fucked.

P.S. What was on the disc was not so bad. Rafael being a gigolo is actually not surprising to me.

E13
"I've never met J.Lo" has never sounded so scary in my life before. I totally forgot about Rogelio's stalker in the last recap, but man is that bitch scary. I'm thinking Misery is about to happen to Rogelio.

So Jane and Michael are officially back on and Rafael hates it, but can't stop it from happening. He went directly to Petra when he was told it would be happening and thankfully Petra knew what he was doing and finally realized how much she was worth.

Rogelio and Xo officially broke up this time and in a way, Jane did chose to comfort Xiomara instead of Rogelio and that hurt him. It's hard to choose, but like Rogelio said, when you choose, you have to commit.

As for Lusia, she needs to go back to rehab and when she gets out, Barnett will finally take her out. Sadly, this means we won't being seeing Luisa for a while. Sigh, I wish she had a bigger role on the show.

E14
I think this episode would have been dubbed a filler for me if it wasn't for Petra giving birth to the Frozen twins. I admit, I still have yet to watch that movie. The shame. So Jane deals with the fact that she chose Rafael over Michael at one point. She really shouldn't regret those times. There was a reason she did it and I'm glad Petra was the one to make her see that.

Xo finds out that her mother wasn't a virgin before getting married and she was pissed that her mother was such a hypocrite, but they make up in the end and Xo was inspired to invite Alba's lost love, who apprently has really bad luck. But no one has as much bad luck as Rogelio who is still kidnapped and no one knows about it.

Rafael was sexing up anyone women he met, but now he's focusing all his energy in capturing his mother by searching for his half-brother, who is supposedly also not a good guy.

Blindspot Midseason 1 Finale Review

Hey People,

Finally, I get time to write this one out. I'm late on congratulating Blindspot for not waiting forever and a day to get their leads to share a kiss. They are already a thousand miles ahead of Bones and Castle in that department.

We had a typical Russian spies as the bad guys for the tattoo of the week, but I guess David, Patterson's dead boyfriend, is what made this episode so special. He got killed and Patterson was driven to find his killer, which led them to the Russians, which led to some Russian spies dying. Patterson made Jane realize that when you have something special you shouldn't waste time not being with that person because before you know it he's gone. This made Jane go to Weller's apartment and kiss him.

Hey People,

S2 E6
After watching the episode, I just needed some time to think what just happened because so much happened and I have to say BRAVO to the writers for making it seem so seamless with the time jumps. I heard there was going to be a time jump, but I thought it would have been an earlier and then thought I just read it wrong, but I guess I just didn't read when because it totally happened in this episode and it turned out to be the best episode of the season and may be the best of the series for me.

Jane starts graduate school and she has to balance her school life with her family life. To make matters worse, Mateo develops a flat head (didn't even know that existed). Rafael steps in and fills in when Jane has school work. She misses out on a couple things but nothing major like talking or walking. Jane also has to deal with Michael no longer being in her life. Speaking of Michael, he was kind of missing for most of the episode. He called up his ex-partner to help him find Sin Rostro and destroy her since he blames her for everything that has recently happened to him and after a couple months has passed, he just shows up out of the blue at his old precinct. I bet you, he's switched sides. It would actually be much more interesting if that's what happens. It would also give Michael something to do as a character.

Luisa was missing from the episode completely, but I'm pretty sure she's with Sin Rostro and is living it up with her. Oh Lusia, I should hate you, but I just can't.

Anyway, even though Rafael wasn't chosen, he still wants to give it a go with Jane. I was kind of upset because I really don't understand why he would still be pinning over a girl that made him 2nd, but he tries to start something with Jane again, but Jane keeps it real with Rafael and admits to him that she still isn't over Michael. Time passes and eventually he starts dating another girl, who also has a kid (man is going to have 10 babies by the end of the series). I was glad that Rafael started dating someone new. He needed it. But, all it took was Jane gaining a fever for him to fall for her again. Who knew Jane could be so bitchy, period. Rafael admitted to her that he still wanted to be with her even in her bitchy state. He wanted to start over and go on a date and because so much time had passed, Jane was willing to say yes to his proposal. I think this time will be different because Rafael and Jane are no longer in the fantasy stage. They have acted bitchy towards each other, they've learned to compromise (Mateo's trust find), and they have become good friends. I can't wait to see what's going to happen between these two.

Can you say twins? Petra is going to have twins. That's 3 kids and no sex for Rafael. That's blue balls to the extreme. Thanks Narrator! Her mother is out of jail and helped her get her husband locked up in jail as well as ridding themselves of those grenades. However, Magda lost a hand and an eye in the process. I can't believe they're turning that woman into a pirate. She's apparently keeping another secret from her daughter and to make sure her daughter didn't find out she had to kill the guy that they held captive before. I swear, Magda is nothing, but trouble for Petra. Upside though, Petra and Jane could be potential friends and most people agree that it would actually be refreshing to see them as besties. Yes, Jane has one already, but she doesn't have one that's a mom, which is something I think she needs. Speaking of friends, that gay guy who's gathering info on the people in Jane's life is up to no good. I'm pretty sure he's writing a book about her life and will just change the characters' names around. What a bitch!

Rogelio's finished with his telenovela. I thought I missed an episode because I didn't know it was ending, but apparently they don't go on forever like the American soaps do, but Korean and Japanese don't either so I shouldn't be surprised. Anyway, he pitched an idea to do a Spanish version of Mad Men and even though it wasn't supposed to be a comedy, everyone thinks it's comedy gold. Rogelio has done it again! This inspires Xiomara to pursue her singing career once again.

I didn't think this recap would be so long, but what do expect when so much time passes? Yet, it was so good and so well done that I don't mind to write it. Tonight will be the fall finale and people are already complaining how it will be one big commercial for Target, but I don't care. Someone has to display how crazy people get on Black Friday in America. People die! And seriously it's ruining Thanksgiving, so screw Black Friday and go enjoy the holiday the way it was intended--giving thanks to the people close in your life. Don't forget to watch tonight!

*NOT THE FALL FINALE TONIGHT*


S1 E9
Patterson's boyfriend, David, noooooo! He just had to die by the end of the episode, but to be fair he was trolling pretty hard. I mean, anyone within a block could probably tell he was following that girl. If Patterson didn't feel alone before, she'll definitely start feeling it now.

Weller and Jane go undercover as Mr. and Mrs. Smith aka a married assassin couple. A guy self-named Rich DotCom (I agree with Zapata, dumbass name), stole 2,000 names off the witness protection list and was selling it to allow others access to it. The guy was a total douche reminded me of another guy in the movie Ex Machina (don't watch it, it has a horrible ending). There was a total douche in that movie too. In the end, the team takes down the douche and recover the list. I'll just add in there was a great fighting scene in there too.

Jane remembers that she used to be engaged to probably the tattoo of a tree guy, but she gave the ring back for some reason. Let's not forget about Jane's curiosity of Weller's past with actress Trieste Kelly Dunn's character (If you haven't watched her in Banshee, I highly suggest you do. Great show!), who tries to start with Weller again, but realizes he only has eyes for one girl, Jane.

Zapata was given an ultimatum of either planting a bug or probably her job and she decided against the former. Good for her! She would have just been dragged down the rabbit hole further.

Tonight is the fall finale. Don't forget to watch the #1 new show on television.

P.S. This was a nice way for Jaimie Alexander not to wear the tattoos and I will allow it because it was an awesome episode.


S1 E4
Mama is coming to town and you got to love mama when she's the original Supergirl. Supergirl has always had it easy when it came to her foster mother, but Alex always felt her brutal force even if it was something Supergirl did wrong and mama was not happy about Supergirl coming out of the closet.

During Thanksgiving dinner, Alex puts everything on the table and tells her mother her true job is to protect Supergirl and all humans. Her mother reacts less than pleasant, but that's only because Alex's father also used to work for DEO and Alex's mother thinks her father died of foul play. Now the sisters don't trust the DEO and will find out everything they can on how their father died.

The villain of the week used electricity and she only got her power because Supergirl tried to save her and got electrocuted while doing so and transferred the electrocution to the villain. But this villain really brought Kara and Cat closer together. She'll still treat Kara like shit, but at least now she knows about Kara's parents dying in a "fire". Is that what they call an explosion of a planet nowadays? Maybe Cat will start to groom her to follow in her footsteps.

In other news, Jimmy came back from his trip with Lucy Lane and Winn is grateful that he has Supergirl in his life, since his dead is all locked up in prison. I bet you his father is a major villain in the series.

Hey People,

S1 E3
Supergirl wants to be Supergirl and doesn't want Superman to come rescue her when she's in trouble. Fair enough. I mean you can't blame the girl for wanting to step out of her cousin's shadow. Speaking of her cousin, Supergirl let it slip during the interview with Cat that they were cousins. I didn't think it was a big deal, but everyone was in an uproar about it.

The villain of the week had a grudge against Superman because his wife died at a power plant that they both worked in. Superman saved millions of people, just not his wife. He got exposed to all the radiation, so in real life he would have been dead by now, not blowing power from his that could take down Supergirl, but whatever, I'll go with it. This is a show about an alien after all. Superman could barely handle this guy before and so Jimmy (I refuse to call him James) bat signaled Superman to come to the rescue. Supergirl was pissed, but in the end she took down the bad guy something Superman couldn't even do.

So what did we learn? That the Kardashians live in our universe and their universe (oh how I wish they were fake), Homeland is still a show, and some techie that works at CATCO knows Superman and Supergirl's secret. Honestly, why would they talk about their identity when they're at work? Don't they know the company can see all that you do on your company computer? They may be strong, but they're dumb when it comes to tech.


S2 E5
To all those that quit JtV because Jane chose Michael, aren't true fans of JtV. I would have still watched and I did watch. I hate that she chose Michael, but he's not a bad guy that is until this episode. Man, I didn't know Rafael got under Michael's skin so much to the point that he would push a guy carrying a baby. What the hell was he thinking?

No, Jane will not end up with Michael and I'm still pretty sure Michael will die. Let's not forget what the best narrator ever said before. He will love Jane until his last breath. That spews he's going to die. Why else would you say that? Anyway, Michael is out of the picture for now and he was taken by Nadine anyway. Since he just lost his job, it would be fitting for him to join Rose and Nadine. What else is he going to do? I don't think Jane will choose Rafael right away especially since he knows she didn't choose him and she didn't believe him so there is definitely stuff they have to work out.

Xiomara had a felony that will get expunged so she can be Alba's sponsor and Rogelio got over what Brittany Spears did to him (made him look stupid at a latin music award) because he called the paparazzi on Brittany when he was with her one time.

As for Petra, she got married to Milos, who is smuggling weapons to sell them. The marriage was doomed before it began.

P.S. Brittany did an okay job at acting the good thing about this show is you can over-exaggerate your lines so it worked out for her.

P.P.S. It was great to see Petra and Jane getting along. I look forward to seeing more of that.


S1 E8
So Mayfair is gay. Got to admit did not see that one coming. Anyway, she wasn't originally down with Daylight that's basically code for PRISM that the NSA uses. She rounded up bad guys using info received illegally and used it to put guys away masquerading it as if the bad guy we found in the woods was a CI giving her all the info. However, her girlfriend and that douche of a guy from the CIA talked her into it. Eventually, her girlfriend saw the error in their ways and ended her life because of it.

Weller doesn't trust Mayfair anymore or her decisions because she abused her power. He kept 2nd guessing her and just because they had a nice chat at the end doesn't mean to me that this conversation is over.

The tattoo of the week had our team trying to find cop killers and as it twist it turned out the killers were other cops. Sounds fitting to me. They were using their body-cameras to blackmail people. One of them being a closeted footballer. The pro said if he came out no one would want him. Yea, he could tour daytime shows but at the end of the day, he wouldn't be able to get signed. Here's what I think about that. If he is a good football player, I don't think anyone would give 2 shits. If anything, they'll just say how great you are at handling balls.

By the end of the episode, we got to see a girl's night out and I hope we get to see more of them in the future. Patterson is such a lightweight. Zapata gets a visit from douche face about the file she gave him. He blackmails her saying if she didn't provide more info, she can kiss her career goodbye. Oh Zapata, never make a deal with the devil and think it'll only be a one time thing.

GOOD NEWS: Blindspot has been renewed for a 2nd season! So it will definitely be back next year. At least I hope it'll be back next year. There has been rumors going around that their set isn't the happiest place on earth right now. Makeup artists and hairdressers are being fired. Jaimie Alexander (Jane) is being called difficult to work with, allegedly believes the tattoos on her body are toxic, and supposedly doesn't get along Sullivan Stapleton (Kurt Weller), and therefore tons of body-doubles are being used (I'll keep an eye out for them). Please tell me these rumors aren't true. The last thing I need is another diva on set ruining a good show (I'm talking about you, Julianna MarguLIES). As long as the story isn't influenced by the drama on set, I'll continue to watch. But just for the record, no one likes a bitch, no matter how good you are.


S8 E6
For the future, if they can't get Stana Katic to be in an episode, don't do an episode. It's just so weird to not have her in one. They should have just gone another week with a repeat. It just proves to everyone that the show may be named Castle, but Beckett is just as big of a part than he is. But it is what it is so let's get to it.

Castle reunites with Slaughter, who is being accused of killing the victim of the week. It turns out the victim was mentoring a kid that was a genius and could hack his way into any door and so the victim got the kid to hack into a building that was impregnable. Someone piggybacked off of their heist and stole money from a private bank to avoid taxes. This person turned out to be the guy in charge of the mentor program and he also had a grudge against the company.

The 1 thing I didn't care for in this episode was the police giving a shit about the rich guys money. Yes, it was stolen, but the man was hiding money to avoid taxes. I wouldn't give 2 shits about getting that money back for him.

Of course by the end of the episode someone had to tell Castle that Castle and Beckett were made for each other. Ugh, I'm just getting really sick of this. On the upside, Slaughter has a sensitive side.

Tonight is the night. It's do or die time for Castle. All Castle has to do is make sense of the reason why Beckett chose the case over her husband. The writers said everything would make sense by the end of tonight's episode and that's what I'm hoping for because if not, than I'm out for good and I'm going to act like this season didn't happen and that Castle ended on the last episode of season 7.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

Wow just noticed the only network I'm not watching tonight is Fox. Welcome back Castle, maybe you can wake yourself up from the dead.

S1 E2
Supergirl has some corny moments, but I can't deny that I still find it charming, and therefore I am adding it to my list, probably because of nostalgia.

Anyway, it turns out you really can't become a superhero overnight. It takes practice. So Supergirl starts learning the ropes. It turns out in the baddie we saw in the premiere wasn't her mom, but her mom's twin sister, and she's trying to save the world like communists try to save the world--world dominance.

Supergirl learns that she can't do this alone and she can't rely on her superpowers to help save the day. You need experience.

Biggest surprise of the night, the guy in charge DEO is not human. I repeat, there is an alien among us. There is an alien among us!


S2 E4
I can't believe I forgot about Luisa and her kidnapping last recap. She thought Rose kidnapped her and it appears to be an enemy of Rose that has. At least, she was let go, probably because her kidnappers were sick of her demands and wasn't gaining anything from keeping her, but if I had to take a real guess, I would say it's because Rose made a deal with her enemy, which led to Luisa being set free. Oh the relationship between Rose and Luisa is crazy one, but somehow I still root for them anyway, even after Rose killed her father and kidnapped Jane's baby.

Jane has finally made a decision and she chose Michael. The sad thing is Rafael also knows who Jane has chosen and he won't be happy about it. I'm actually interested to see how he will handle the situation.

So Rogelio used to be a Scientologist. To each their own, but still... Anyway, Rafael made a lot of confessions and I think we all know Xiomara will get her hands on them and binge the shit out of them.

Milo is back in town and demanded Petra marry him. Maybe Petra and Rafael will get back together, not because Rafael loves her (he made that perfectly clear), but because he needs to make Jane jealous and Petra needs a way out of her marriage proposal. But JtV is too smart for that, right?


S1 E7
When I need a show to deliver, I look to Blindspot and it fills the void, unlike some other shows I can name right now. This time Jane's tattoos lead them to a treasure hunt. Damn the person who inked her planned out everything to the T. The team had to extract a man from the woods that couldn't be found for years. Along the way, Zapata breaks it down for Weller that he's more invested in Jane than needed and worse of it is that he doesn't know that he is. We also find out that Jane knows how to fly a helicopter, but doesn't like flying when someone else is in control.

I said it before and I'll say it again, I love the side characters in this show. Patterson following the clues with her boyfriend was super cute and I'm upset that they broke up. I don't hate on Patterson for putting her career first, but I hope this isn't the last we see of her boyfriend. I was hoping he would be hired as a consultant. They obviously work well together.

As for Mayfair, the lies have caught up to her and she'll finally have to disclose to Weller the truth about Daylight. Now can we find out about Daylight?


S8 E5
Okay they may still not be together, but let's put that to the side for now and just talk about how funny that episode was. We got an ass shot and fart. Juvenile, yes. Funny, hell yes.

For the record, I will always claim MadTV > SNL so when I saw Stephnie Weir was in this episode, I l knew it was going to be funny. I'm so glad she was in most of the episode because she was hilarious. She used her nose to sniff out the killer, but in the end, like always, it took Castle and Beckett to come together and solve the case. The case was pretty good too. A transporter stole a painting from another transporter, but then gave a fake painting to other transporter when he asked for it back. The transporter with the real painting was then going to give it to the family that it truly belonged to, but the brother of the transporter, who painted the fake, killed his own brother to sell the painting and settle his gambling debt. Sad really, but at least the Van Gogh ended up at a museum. But I really want Stephnie's character to stick around. Maybe she can be the Castle's assistant at his PI. Make it work writers. You have nothing going for you except for this episode so far.

Okay back to the mess of the season, Beckett came back to get her stuff and while she was there she sniffed Castle's shirt. When Castle returned to his studio, he saw a Beckett's shirt and decided to sniff it. Everyone was in a sniffing mood. I'll say it in every single recap. Bitch still does not make any sense and it's even worse to be reminded every episode how everyone keeps telling Castle that she's still madly in love with him when she says the things she says to him to push him away and he's there standing like an idiot and thinking of ways to get her back with the help of Lucy, who I think is fucking pointless to have around. Lucy can suck trash from a trash can because that's where she'll end up in my house. Bitch is annoying too, but mostly pointless.

Finally, let me take the time to say I told you so. Well, I didn't really completely tell you so, but I did guess right that one of the boys would become sergeant. I just guessed wrong on who it would be. Esposito is now officially Ryan's boss and I have to say I really wish it was the other way around. Ryan is more boss material (most of the time, in this episode he was just saying all the wrong things), he's more mature (again, most of the time), and he really needs the money. But there has only been a few things the writers have gotten right this year so I really shouldn't expect much. Now who's ready for session 1 of therapy?

2 more episodes to go until D-day.

P.S. Hayley was around, but really wasn't important to this episode. I like the actress, but can we switch her with nose girl?

Hey People,

I looked at Supergirl before in the summer and this is what I thought. I'll be watching again, but I'm still holding out on putting on the list so far.

S1 E3
Jane had a huge decision to make on whether she should go back to school after 3 weeks of giving birth to Mateo. In the end, she made the right decision and chose to go back to school. No one should hate on her if she chose to stay with Mateo a little longer, but I think this is the right thing because you don't want to regret things in life and this would have been a regret for her.

Rafael also had a decision to make. He could either 1) let Petra get an abortion, 2) give the baby up to a Russian orphanage, or 3) co-parent with Petra. He and Jane decided on 3 (that they both will co-parent with Petra). This will be interesting because Petra thinks she can still get Rafael back, but you know that's never going to happen, especially since Rafael just kissed Jane and for some damn reason Petra took a picture of it.

Xiomara had to deal with some green monster since she saw a passionate kiss between Rogelio and his ex-wife for the show and Rogelio had to finally get over his ex. Eventually, he figured out that Xo was more important than the show to him and made an E.P. decision and fired his ex from the show, but not so fast Rogelio. She has a video of you doing something. A sex tape? Nah Rogelio wouldn't care about that. He would probably release it himself. It has to be something else and something stupid at the same time. What could it be?

Okay, Michael is acting like a best friend and not a boyfriend. Instead of him being worried about Jane not seeing him as Mr. Macho he should start thinking that maybe Jane will only see him as a friend since he gives such good advice. I bet you Michael will get friend zoned the way he's going. Friends don't kiss you, but they do give great advice.

The episode revolved around Mateo being baptized, but you should already know what I think about that.


S1 E6
Jane vs Companionship. I feel bad for Jane. She wants to be normal and have friends and sometimes even a lover, but she can't have any of these things. Therapist can be really bad at their jobs sometimes. The tree symbolizes deep roots in relationships. Umm, no she obviously had sex with the tree tattoo guy and was dreaming about it in her dreams. So who is that guy? I have no idea just like I have no idea what's going to happen next in this show and I like it.

Weller and Jane tried to keep their distance from each other and set up boundaries, but it felt awkward and weird for them just like it felt for us viewers that were watching them. I liked the girl hacker in this episode, who Jane connected with because she was out in the world by herself, and I hope that we get to see her again in a future episode. Maybe she can come on as Patterson's sidekick. Speaking of Patterson, she told Weller about her founding on a case Mayfair led so maybe we can finally get the ball rolling on that lead.

The tattoo-of-the-week led the group to a girl hacker, who thought she was helping the NSA, but was really helping bad guys target government cars. With her help, the team shut down the app.

"Dirty money is dirty money." Reade only sees things in black and white, which is why he sucks so hard. As for Zapata, she paid off her bookie and vows to never bet again. Good for her. Now that her side of the story is over, can we focus on Reade and find out why he's such an ass?

Hey People,

I just realized I have 2 Janes I have to watch every night and I love them for different reasons.

S2 E2
Jane loves them both and I can see why. Like I always said, Michael is the safe bet and Rafael is the fantasy that could definitely come true. I always find myself rooting for Rafael so I guess I'm #TeamRafael but I wouldn't be upset if she ended up with Michael in the end. BTW, I loved bachelorette Jane. Annoying at times, but funny.

Surprisingly, Xiomara and Rogelio are getting the annulment even though they both confess they love each other. Xo wants to do it the right way this time.

Big news, Petra is pregnant and Rafael just found out about the sperm. His face was priceless as the best narrator in the world rewound and did a play-by-play. How is Jane going to react to this news? Will this be a way for Michael to worm his way back into being the man of the hour who doesn't have 2 baby mamas?

Just when Luisa was just going to be relevant to a meeting, she was up and taken by Rose's minion. Rose probably wants her back. Now Rick Lachlan can build a building blocking the gorgeous view. Well it was about time he won one battle between Rafael and Petra. Lachlan has been screwed over so many times by them as the narrator also pointed out. Have I mentioned how much I love the narrator?

P.S. Did anyone else cry when Alba did? I'm so glad she's going to get her green card. Fear is not a way to live.
P.P.S. Is there any point to give the executive assistant that promotion now since Rafael found out about the sperm anyway? Can they revoke it?


S1 E5
The tattoo-of-the-week involved a guy who was a CI for the CIA, but when the CIA didn't need him anymore the CI wasn't protected any longer and wanted to get back at the CIA, and so he created a dirty bomb. Our FBI team, of course, captures him, but the CIA wants to have even though it isn't within their jurisdiction. The CIA offer the FBI a deal: the CI for Jane. Mayfair says hell no to the idea because she knows what will happen to Jane if she gets handed over. Actually, the CI will probably get killed too because the CIA wasn't supposed to be torturing him on US soil. Mayfair had a decision to make: either let the CIA kill Jane or let the CIA kill the CI. The CIA are such murderous people. Mayfair chose to keep Jane and lost the chance to question CI about any other involvement he was in. She made the right choice.

I love how involved Zapata and Reade are in the show. Most secondaries aren't really involved in the show as much as they should be. They're there, but you don't really dig into their personal lives that much. We knew already that Zapata has a gambling problem, so it would make sense for her to get paid by the CIA to dish out intel on Jane. And then you have Reade, who hates Jane because she's making Weller lose focus and could potentially distract him out in the field. There is definitely something stirring between Jane and Weller and I don't know if I'm completely down for it yet. I think Jane and Weller are great on paper (met as toddlers, then one is taken away and they reunite 25 years later), but Weller is so closed off, I could even argue more so then Jane. I don't think anyone should be getting with anyone at the moment.

We find another piece of the puzzle with Jane. She remembers being taken into a room and filled with children in their beds. It reminded me of an orphanage really. Other than that girl is still a big ass mystery.

If I didn't mention it before, I want to mention it now. Congrats on Blindspot getting a full season order!

Luv ya,

Hey People,

Okay so I watched Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and even though I didn't like the premise, the trailer, and the actual name of the show, I decided to hold my judgment until I watched. I learned my lesson with Jane the Virgin to never judge a show before watching it and now that I've watched it, I can judge. I won't be adding this to my list. Even though I love the musical numbers, I just can't get behind this crazy bitch. I get she wasn't happy with her life, but to move to a place just to try to be with a guy to the point that she's stalking him is where I draw the line. I can't root or her. The bitch is crazy, funny, but crazy. And now back to our recap.

S2 E1
Before I start remember this? Did you know they do have a category for outstanding narration on a TV show for the Emmy Awards and Jane the Virgin lost? That is just ridiculous.

So I forgot to mention in the finale review that Rogelio and Xiomara got married, but Xo said last week that it would be annulled, but something tells me that it won't.

I knew Jane would blame herself for the kidnapping of her baby, but I'm glad they didn't spend half the season trying to get him back. Rose wanted her brooch and she got it back and in exchange, Jane got Mateo back.

Petra still wants Rafael back and because of Luisa's really bad advise, she inseminates Rafael's sperm. Something tells me it might have not been Rafael's but the sperm of Scott, the assistant. This is a telenovela after all.

I have no idea what's going to happen with this love triangle, but all I can say is this show still hasn't missed a beat yet.


S8 E3 & E4
E3
There are still not together and everything is just a repeat of what happened to Beckett in her mother's case. She has 2nd thoughts about taking the case on. Someone is there to tell her if she continues, it'll kill her. She goes through with it anyway. Same old, same old. The worse of it is Castle being there trying to win her back. PATHETIC!

Beckett: I will always love you, Rick.
Castle: So why can't we be together?
Beckett: I can't tell you. You'll just have to trust me.

Bitch you make no sense right now.

Anyway, the case-of-the-week was a throwback to Veronica Mars involving the inmates vs the prison guards psyche experiment. One of the inmates ended up killing another inmate after they escaped because she really did go crazy. I'm pretty sure she can plea insanity on this one.

Let's not forget about the 21 Jump Street fail Esposito and Ryan did. They weren't fooling anyone. But what surprised me the most is how much Castle pimped out his daughter. He was always against putting his daughter in trouble and now he doesn't mind using her for a case.

SMH to this whole episode.

E4
Yup, you guessed it, they are still not together yet.

Case-of-the-week: Castle and gang track down the killer of a pathological liar. We meet a blind priest (Ugly Betty!), who mismanaged funds which led said liar to city hall to switch not paid to paid, but during the switch finds out someone has been stealing money. But all of this doesn't matter because in the end, the wife killed the liar because he lied about being rich. The End. Even the cases are starting to suffer. Most of the episode was pointless because the slush fund had nothing to do with his death.

Esposito and Ryan are both taking the sergeant test and I think only one of them will pass (most likely Ryan), which will cause some tension for the two.

Beckett is still ignoring Castle and Castle is still trying to win her back. YUCK! How hasn't Alexis or Martha not try to beat the shit out of Beckett yet? That bitch still doesn't make any sense.

I still don't trust these writers and they haven't assured me of anything. Until the 7th episode, I said. That's all they get. And so far I don't trust that they will deliver.


S1 E3 & E4
E3
So Jane really is Taylor Shaw. I'm glad it really worked out this way because I would have been upset if it turned out to be not true. To tell her who she could have been and just take it away like that would have been too much for her. Besides, this gives Weller a connection with Jane now that is deeper than we first realize.

The tattoo of the week led us to a group that steals high end shit and when you get too greedy something bad always happens. In the end, all the team members die and one of them knew Jane. All Jane could get out of him before he died was Orion, which could be many things. Not very helpful dead man.

The big takeaway from this episode is Mayfair knows things. She is convinced that Jane's tattoos will lead to Daylight. We don't know what that is yet, but apparently only 3 people do. Mayfair would have killed Jane if it weren't for the fact it would draw more attention to the case. Damn it, Mayfair. I thought you were cool like that, but I guess not.

P.S. Jane gets to be on the team and carry a gun. No more wait in the car in her future.
P.P.S. Are will still going to keep calling her Jane or switch to Taylor? I need to know!

E4
Okay I take that back, she is not Taylor Shaw or maybe she is. Ahhh, I don't know!

Tattoo of the week: We find our team at the CDC trying to get a head start on a possible outbreak. It turns out, the head doctors that worked for the CDC were behind outbreaks in the previous years. They were behind the Ebola outbreak in Africa! Crazy! Anyway, the team stopped the deadliest of them all before it could spread.

Weller told Jane about his father being blamed for her kidnapping and Jane realized that Weller has blamed himself for her kidnapping for 25 years.

I like how we're getting to know Reade and Zapata, especially now that we know Zapata is in some major gambling debt. 40K? Damn, girl goes hard! We also find our Reade doesn't really hate Jane, he just doesn't like how Weller reacts when Jane's around. Can he sense that love is in their future like I can? Let's not forget Dr. Patterson's boyfriend. I hope we see more of him and Patterson solving the puzzle.

Theory
I do think she is Taylor Shaw because if she wasn't, then why would she remember bits and pieces of that night? So what about her tooth? I don't maybe they gave implemented false teeth into her, just to make it that much harder to identify her. That's all I got for now.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

I checked out Minority Report to see if it would get better and it's still an alright show, but the ratings for it is anything but alright. I don't think it will last that much longer, but it was a nice try and I hope that Meagan Good can find a show that can actually last more than 5 episodes.

S8 E2
If you haven't read my rant yet, I highly suggest that you check it out.

The showrunners have suggested that fans wait until episode 7 titled "Mr. and Mrs. Castle" before judging. I think the damage has already been done, but since I've come this far, I might as well keep going, but I have my doubts. If by episode 7 I still think this season is a lost cause, I have no problem dropping Castle. The ratings aren't that great for it anymore anyways.

I read that Castle will basically try to win Beckett back and I have no idea why he has to grovel for her to stay. She's the one that just made a huge mistake, she's the one that should be begging for his forgiveness when she finally realizes how stupid she's being and even then I say Castle should still divorce her ass.

Someone suggested to me that Castle & Beckett should have gone into the P.I. business together, which would have definitely been better than the way this story is going.


S1 E2
So Jane Doe might be this Taylor Swift Shaw person that was kidnapped 25 years ago by Weller's father, allegedly. She's the right age and apparently has the right scar. There was a blood test taken and hopefully we get to see the results tonight.

Meanwhile, the tattoo-of-the-week (see what I did there?) led our team to who I think was a good guy. It just that he believed the ends justifies the means. A pilot wanted to stop a drone program that lead to innocent Americans being killed. He wanted to make it public so the program would be shut down, but he went about it the wrong way by killing the people behind the program with their own drone. Obviously, the team caught the guy in time before he blew up their own building and saved a little girl in the mix.

Jane had another flashback of killing a nun, who I don't think was a nun at all. She questioned whether she was a good person in her previous life. Does your past define you? Can a good person do bad things? I don't think it's so easily explained by saying good people do good things and bad people do bad things. It's all about context people, but I think Weller put it best when he said all he's seen Jane do is good things and so it doesn't matter what she's done in the past because right now she's a good person.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

If you want my quick reviews of The Blindspot and Minority Report, I suggest you click here. Otherwise, continue your reading of my post. It's great to be back with weekly recaps.

S8 E1
The premiere episode was like the new poster of Castle--I liked it and hated it at the same time. I like the poster and all, they look great, but it's just old-hashed photos from a previous season. Same with the season 8 premiere, they rehashed another story-line of a partner gone missing and didn't tell the other partner anything. Like what most people are bringing up, why do they keep hiding huge secrets from each other?

I thought it was the most out there plot, but then I realized that nothing can compare to last year's plot with Castle MIA and someway, somehow saved thousands of lives. So it doesn't win the crazy plot award; however, I must admit that I didn't know Stana Katic couldn't be in the show as much for a few episodes because she's working on a movie. I kept on wondering why she was missing so much on the show. This movie better be good because the plot is suffering on Castle.

I don't want to be all negative so let me just say this plot does have potential to be great depending on how they present the reason behind Beckett's current mystery. We're still not sure why Beckett kept it a secret. All we know is that Beckett's team from when she worked as a special investigator are all dead now and she's the last survivor. We don't know why people are after her, we don't know why she's hanging out with some guy, and we don't know why she has to be in hiding and not tell anyone why she's hiding. As long as the story makes sense, I don't mind taking the journey and it seems like it will if they continue down the path I think they're going. It would explain why Beckett had to keep everything a secret because of her time working for the Attorney General, so I'll just wait to see what happens tonight to make my final decision on this.

In other news, Alexis is now solving cases by herself, which means she'll be daddy's little helper at his PI business. Speaking of helper, Hayley Shipton looks like she'll be Castle's new crime solving partner. Some people already hate her, but as of right now, I don't mind her. She can't be Beckett-like because then people would think she's a Beckett substitute or worse that Castle will eventually cheat on Beckett, which was what most people were worrying about over the summer (I didn't feel any sexual chemistry between them). But, they went with the opposite type of characteristics, a person who bends the rules and believes the ends justifies the means, as to Beckett's straight by the book. I mean she is a Beckett substitute anyway since Beckett is now the captain and will be working at her desk than out in the field. I feel like the writers couldn't avoid this bad situation. They needed to progress the story, but that meant that Castle and Beckett couldn't be crime partners anymore since a promotion for Beckett meant desk bound. I wouldn't know how to write this season since the two leads won't be around each other as much. Although, I always found it hard to believe that anyone would want to be around their spouse 24/7 like they are. So I'm looking forward to this season just to see where they take things. We have new show leaders than last year (thank god) and I have to say, I really enjoyed the action from last week. Let's hope they keep it up tonight.

P.S. I don't see how spiders are psychological torture unless they were poisonous which they weren't. Does Castle have arachnophobia? It's a common phobia, but still the scene was stupid to me. He should have let the girl use her knife. BTW, I'm gong to miss that girl. She was hardcore and I liked it.
P.P.S. Funny story, I just watched The Player and saw the girl again, but she just ends up dead, again. Or does she?

If you haven't seen Blindspot, I highly suggest you give it a try because it is definitely worth your time.

I wrote a short review for it over the summer. It was definitely my favorite leaked show by a mile. It premiered very well last week, so there will be no quick to cancellation for it.

I loved it and can't wait to see more tonight.





Luv ya,
