The Player Series Finale Review

Hey People,

I don't even know what to say to that. It didn't wrap up anything and left you with this big question of why Ginny has so many weapons in her possession. This show just proves to me why I don't like watching shows that I know aren't going to get a satisfying ending.

I'm not even sure what would have happened next because the player doesn't even want to be the player anymore since he has no reason to play if the house can't even help him get the info he needs to find his wife, who up and left on her own accord, but then was taken. I say who cares. If Ginny left because she wanted to leave, then let the bitch leave. Why does Alex have to find her? She obviously had tons and tons of secrets that she didn't tell him.

Hey People,

I'm seriously thinking of just doing away with my Thursday lineup because most of the shows that are I'm currently watching are either sucking or getting cancelled. So I'm making tonight a do or die night. I think it's the best time to do this because it's their fall finales and in The Player's case series finale. Oh, how I hope someone can pick this up. I would trade How to Get Away with Murder and The Blacklist for Forever and The Player.

Okay I was half asleep while I was watching not because it was bad or anything, but because I was just really really tired.

The player vs. Two gangs put against each other by some weird other guy. A girl dies who wasn't even in the game and the gang member who loved her put an end to the guy's life. That's all I can recall.

The dealer revealed where the ex wife had been hiding out, but she has already moved on. The player realized the dealer has only been trying to help him and then reveals the mysterious key. The dealer and the player are now working together and the pit boss don't know about it, but we all know he'll find out eventually, we just don't know if it'll be by the end of the series finale.


S2 E8
Omg, everyone was having sex. Ugh, I hate when they do this. I don't watch this show to see people groping each other, I watch to see these idiots try to get away with murder. There isn't too much gay sex, there's just too much sex in general in this show. End Rant

The incestuous son who was given up for adoption is actually working with the adopted girl. Lovers maybe? I don't know. Catherine is a good liar.

The prosecutor had Catherine and Caleb thinking of taking a plea. The bugged pen was a genius idea to be honest. Bonnie was missing and the absence of her presence was missed.

P.S. How bad are the cops? They had a search warrant and they still couldn't find the gun that was actually in the house. The vents are like the first place the police look, right next to under the bed. The writing is starting to get lazy.

P.P.S. Nate's abs. That is all.


S3 E7
I think it's time for me to quit this show. How do I know? Because last week was probably one of the better episodes of the season and I didn't care. That's how I know. I could tell I was watching a good plot even though I called the brother being the terrorist since the beginning. It was still good. But I know it's time for me to move on. I'll check in now and again but this is my goodbye.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S1 E7
The Player vs. a vigilante out for revenge on those that took his house from him. In the end, he stops the vigilante and saves other people from dying.

The Pit Boss was in fact a player and all previous pit bosses used to be players. Apparently this pit boss is the legendary favorite and Alex is on track to beat him. The Pit Boss's friend got killed who was part of the council which means none of them are safe since someone is after them.

The Dealer was dealing with locating Ginny, but the lead went cold.


S2 E7
Annalise needs to make up her damn mind if she likes Nate or Eve. I say go with Eve just because she's a nicer and more fun Annalise when she's with her. Nate was in court yet again to protest the test on his wife's blood that would show if she was murdered or not by pills. In the end, Eve got him off and she got a rendezvous with Annalise. Well played Eve.

Wes found Levi's gun and is keeping it just in case, but we see that he or someone else uses the night Annalise gets shot. So what's so special about Annalise and Wes? There is definitely something going on between the two and Eve knows what's up and proud of Annalise for it. It's still not her son I don't care what others say.

Oliver now officially works for Annalise and Connor isn't like it one bit and he has every right to feel this way. Save Oliver, Connor! Now more than ever since the rejected son from the foster kids' case has shown up on Oliver's doorstep and just invited his ass in. If Oliver dies, it's his own damn fault for not heeding warnings.

I was right about Asher. He was a bystander and because of Bonnie's past, it doesn't sit with her. Speaking of Bonnie, I believe it was revealed that she killed the prosecutor in last week's episode, but I'm not 100% sure yet. It showed her standing at the balcony, but something tells me she didn't do it. THEORY: I have my money on Asher being the one that pushed the prosecutor over the edge.

Laurel and Frank are still getting on my nerves. That is all folks.


S3 E6
There are no redeemable qualities in Tom. He just sucks all around now. Kills a guy who was being blackmailed just to get to Karakurt.

I don't know people. I thought this season would be really good because Red and Liz are on the run, but compared to all the other shows I watch, this has to be at the bottom of the list. I'm not looking forward to this show like I once was. Even comparing it to newcomers like Blindspot and The Player, I prefer to watch those than The Blacklist, which is in its 3rd season and therefore I should have more loyalty to it than the others. Also, Blindspot has given more answers and is less formulated than The Blacklist. Blindspot is making The Blacklist look bad to be perfectly honest. Like I said folks, I don't have as much time as I used to and before I cut a show out I always ask myself if I'm okay not knowing how the show ends and right now I can claim okay with not knowing. But for now, we continue. I'll let you know about my final decision.

Anyway, Red and Liz steal Mr. Kaplan's getaway money and offers him deal to which he declines. That's all that really happened. There was more action than that, but that about sums up the episode. Yes, taking smart people's brains to an ark (plane) to store them and transfer them to a new body was also a plot point, but when the guy got killed so did the dream.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

Stayed up all night doing this and finished at work. What I do for you people.

S1 E5 & E6
E5
The Player vs the boy, actually it was more like the player vs the Chinese executioners since they were the ones after the boy. The boy was a genius and created another Silk Road, but since being caught he turned good and was trying to secure the American government by finding cracks in it and he jut so happened to find a virus that would let the Chinese control missiles, drones, and other dangerous weapons. Alex helps the boy not get killed because he's the only one who could recognize the code. In the end, the boy was exonerated from all crimes and promised to help the government. 

We find out that Ginny is still alive and I have no idea what the fuck she's doing. Chick was talking to somebody. The dealer saw Ginny's body was switched for another so now she definitely knows something is up. As for the pit boss, he was handling the million dollar gambler who was breaking the rules by not only gambling on a bet he had a personal stake in, but he also was gambling on the side. Apparently, if you break the rules twice, the price is death. 

This game is too high for my blood.

E6
The Player vs weird deity lover who kidnaps his annoying niece. Okay I'm going to say it since no one else is. That girl was annoying. "Oh, I wanted to steal a snow globe as a present for you." WTF kid? Was it wrong for me to wish the guy actually did cut off her head? Yes, but it would have been well deserved.

Anyway, this probably was the worst episode so far just because of the annoying kid, but on the bright side we did get to see the Pit Boss kill a guy with such ease and he's actually helping the Player find his ex-wife. I still don't get what the Pit Boss is up to.

If you haven't heard The Player was reduced aka the show is being cancelled, so enjoy it while it lasts. I still think this is an incredible show that has such potential.  

S2 E5 & E6
E5
So much happening! Annalise is losing control over everything. Nate finds out about his wife trying to commit suicide with Annalise's help and she thought this would be a perfect time for him to come clean about Wes and him working together, but instead he keeps silent. Annalise eventually confronts him about Wes and I guess we'll see the result of their talk tonight.

Since Levi got arrested for drug possession planted by Frank, I'm guessing he's out of the picture, at least for now. Wes and the group follow up on another seed Frank planted and it leads them to a ton of cash. I would be satisfied with this, but I'm guessing Wes won't be. What will they do with the money. Split it among themselves probably.

Connor doesn't give 2 shits anymore about what Annalise thinks; however, maybe now him, Michaela, and Laurel will be submissive to Annalise's warning. In their defense, their suspicions were warranted, especially when theyc ould have been avoided with Annalise just telling them the truth about Bonnie.

Speaking of Bonnie, we find out a lot about her past. She was a sexually abused child, which kind of explains why she's always seeking approval from Annalise. The theory could still be in play, but this also could explain things as well. Asher still believes Bonnie killed Sam and he was going to turn her in because he believes the truth will eventually catch up to your lies. I'm guessing he's speaking with experience, yet we still don't know what the experience was. I'm not going to lie to you folks. I actually did not hate the prosecutor this time around. She was actually making some sense about how killing is wrong no matter the reason why and Annalise should know better. I also have to say I liked the judge because she didn't buy into Annalise's bullshit. Oh, I just find it on my desk. Oh, please Annalise.

The biggest surprise was in the future Asher was their at the house with Bonnie. So glad he's not the sober guy in The Hangover and misses out on the fun everyone's having. The only problem is Asher goes to the police requesting to make a statement. This isn't good.

P.S. I love how Michaela now always thinks if she finds her boy toys with another guy, her mind automatically thinks he's gay.

E6
Again, I don't know why people think Annalise is Wes's mother. That should be squashed by now. I also hate how Annalise blatantly lied to the boy about Rebecca. And she doesn't understand why the boy doesn't trust her.

Nate decided to end his wife's life and is in depression mode. Michaela was asked out by Caleb. Does this mean the incest rumor wasn't true? Because I really thought it was and they were just denying it. Michaela has a bad taste picking out guys so let's not be too hasty with this one.

Asher seems to be getting used to the idea that Bonnie is a murderer, but Bonnie is going to find out Asher's past that involves a gang rape. Based on the way Asher reacted to Bonnie's rape, I don't think he was a part of it. I think he was a bystander.

Laurel and Frank are getting annoying. I'm actually starting to really hate Frank. He invited Laurel to his families house. Ugh, if Frank could get murdered by the end of this season that would be great. There are times that I think even Laurel doesn't really like him.

As for the future, it seems like Frank is setting up Catherine to take the fall for killing the prosecutor. Man is twisted.


S3 E4 & E5
E4
Ending each episode with Tom is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Ugh, I get it he loves Liz and wants to save her.

The number of the week was a woman who grants people desires and it just so happened that she had two names of people in the Cabal. I kind of felt bad for the woman or should I say man? His father cut off his penis and changed him into a girl just because he's gay. That's fucked up. Was it bad of me that I was rooting for the father to die the entire time? I don't think so.

Ressler and Samar are still trying to piece together what Liz and Red are up to and Cooper and Tom are taking the rich man's route and hoping that some way it connects them to Karakurt. As for Dembe, he got shot by Pee Wee. WTF Pee Wee? I forgot that he was in this show before and now it turns out he works for the Cabal as well? Please tell me The Blacklist isn't turning into The Following where it turned out everyone was a part of the cult. But I am really enjoying this season overall.

E5
Again, the episode ends with Tom. I'm never going to win am I? But at least his storyline is becoming more interesting to me.

Liz was being hunted by assassins because of a crowdfunding website. I knew it was the girl who put Liz on the site. I'm just glad they didn't kill her.

Ressler has to work with a Cabal leader. This is totally stupid. You don't have to be a genius to figure out how unethical this arrangement is, even if they don't want another 9/11 to happen. You definitely don't clear the guy to work a case that he's being investigated for. That makes no sense. Fail The Blacklist.

Dembe isn't dead! For a second there, I thought he was. At least Pee Wee is gone. That mofoing traitor.

P.S. Father/Daughter or May/December? I feel May/December.

Luv you,

Hey People,

I vow to watch Player to the end and I don't do that to many shows, especially one that is doomed as this. Sorry for the lateness people.

S1 E3 & E4
E3
The Player vs. 1000ft sniper paid to kill a group of people because they stole from the mob. The player wins!

We learn a little about Cassandra, the dealer, and how she comes with her own military skills, British style.

As for pit boss Johnson, he was busy the whole episode collecting information Kane had his friend dig up off of that memory card. He gave Kane's friend unusable info to pass to Kane. What I'm trying to understand is why Ginny would leave such useless information on a memory card and stick it inside a picture? I know it's faked, but you would think Kane would be quick to this conclusion.

E4
The Player vs. wife beater who wanted to kill his wife because she wanted to kill him for beating her up to the point that she lost a baby. This game of the week, was a little too close to home for Alex because Ginny helped the wife out after she was beaten. In the end, the wife beater went directly to jail where he will definitely be killed, so no need for the wife to testify now and Alex found out from the wife that Ginny was scared of something in her past.

The dealer dealt with her private life and the pit boss had to tell her that eventually she will learn she can't have a private life outside the game. The dealer reveals she didn't choose this life unlike the pit boss. The only thing we learned about the pit boss this episode is that he grew into his own in Chicago.


S2 E3 & E4
E3
So Nate is working with Wes now to find out what Annalise knows and somehow Nate is now involved in the future, at least he saved the kids from being caught and gave them a ride. I thought Asher would finally be a part of the group since his girlfriend is crazy or should I say ex-girlfriend now. Asher and Bonnie broke up and I'm actually a little upset about it. I guess I am still rooting for them in a sick and twisted way. But I'm glad Asher laid down the law with that prosecutor. She would have just kept blackmailing him about that girl the whole time. It must be serious what he did because Asher went to his father about the situation.

Connor finally had sex with Oliver and Michaela admitted to the group she's never had an orgasm before, but the episode ended with her probably having one with the new guy she's dating. Wes finds out the new guy is the same guy Rebecca knew and now knows Rebecca is Eggs. The new guy is Rebecca's foster brother and he fears Rebecca is dead, which he's not wrong about. Rebecca got the name Eggs when she dropped a bunch of eggs on the floor. Wes told Rebecca's foster brother to stay away from Michaela, but we know now that didn't happen so now I'm just waiting for shit to hit the fan on this one.

Laurel admitted to Bonnie that she likes Frank and Bonnie admits to her that she likes Asher. It was a funny scene and I kinda want to see them hangout a bit more.

As for Annalise, she needs to make up her damn mind about who she wants to be with, Eve or Nate. I'm pretty sure she just goes with who's in proximity.

They did have a case-of-the-week this episode. I thought we were finished with those on this show, but I'll allow it since they had Sherri Shaum (The Fosters). They changed her from being the school's vice principal and lesbian mother to being the mother hen of a sex club, where she performed BDSM. She killed the guy, but of course, with Annalise as your lawyer she got off. Now she can go back to her former life as a lesbian mother. As for the case of the season, we find that the adopted kids are into each other. Did I not call that? My theory is starting to be correct. Even their maid, or whatever she was, who's been with them since they were toddlers believes they're guilty.

E4
Okay I can't stand this case-of-the-week, which goes back to why I hated how HTGAWM worked their cases in general because they were always wrong about the law. If you're going to argue your client need mental help and not jail, fine, but don't then destroy the doctor who is basically agreeing with you that your client needs mental, I don't think it's a wise idea to try and ruin him on the stand. You can't have it both ways. You can't argue, your client is needs a hospital and is innocent of wrongdoing. She killed someone that isn't what's up for argument, what should have been the main argument in this case is her thought process. Can she plea being sick? It didn't really matter who the ringleader was for the killing because all of the girls are killers. Social pressure my ass. Yes, peer pressure can make you do stupid stuff, but there is a point where there's no return and killing someone is definitely way pass the line. I'm glad Connor leaked the video because he was doing Annalise's job for her. If she had this type of damaging evidence, she would have to quit being her lawyer or hand the evidence over to prosecutors. This episode really made me like Connor. So glad that crazy chick went to jail.

Connor made noticed some similarities to the case and how Annalise treats them and I have to agree with the man. Connor is becoming more sensitive and it seems Laurel is becoming more cold.

Wes and Levi are working together to find Rebecca and Levi finds out that Frank probably buried Rebecca in a cemetery, but Nate brought up a good point. Who's to say Levi is who he says he is. He admitted he lie to find out what happened to Rebecca maybe he's a stalker-ish ex-boyfriend who is now dating Michaela.

Asher made a deal with the prosecutor who was blackmailing him about that girl and we still don't know the story there, but Asher has agreed to testify in the Sam Keating case, but they may be put on hold now since Bonnie lied to him and told him that she killed Sam. I'm just glad Asher isn't as dumb as we all thought he was and realized all the whispering when he's not in the room.

As for Annalise, she got a call from Nate's wife in the hospital and was asked to help his wife kill herself by getting some pills for her. Annalise came to the conclusion that if she, herself, is still alive then there is no way she can help a nice woman like Nate's wife kill herself because if she deserves to live so does Nate's wife.

As for the future, I have no idea why Caleb is in an apartment that Michaela has the keys to. Maybe she did have a crush on him after all. But at least we know that Caleb and his adopted sister aren't boning each other, but that doesn't take away from them not being into each other.


S3 E2 & E3
E2
Red and Liz decide hold up a diner, when in fact, the whole purpose was to free a criminal lawyer. The lawyer finds something in the fulcrum and that's all that really happens. No body believed for a second that Liz was a Russian spy, not even the Russians.

Harold went out of his job gracefully and when I say gracefully I mean he's taking a dead end job instead of retiring. Dembe is being tortured for not disclosing where Red is. I'm just glad his granddaughter got the antidote. Now he just needs to get out of those handcuffs and beat the shit out of that guy.

Oh and godawful Tom is back.

E3
I sort of watched this episode. I probably will re-watch it just to make sure I know what happened but from what I can tell, Red and Liz wanted to take The Cabal's money away from them by going after a farm that genetically make their seeds. They figure out in the end that the real plan was to spread a virus that only they had the cure to and therefore make tons of money that way. I'm sick of watching genetic farms in my shows. Writers need to start getting creative. In the end, the bad guys (the really bad guys) get caught.

It's funny and sad how Liz is reacting to her new role. Watching from her perspective I would think she hasn't changed and is still about the truth and justice. However, from the outside perspective like Ressler, I would think this bitch has lost her damn mind and has been hanging out with Red for far too long. Basically she had been corrupted. It's also funny how when Red was on his own he was never in danger of getting caught, but with Liz it's always close calls or basically just leading the cops right at their doorstep. Girl needs to learn how to be a criminal.

What else? Tom is back annoying the crap out of me again. He was just waiting for Liz to call him the whole time, but instead he gets a visit from Harold. Harold wants him to help Liz clear her name. I was glad to see Ressler go to Harold for advice but it's just so funny how Harold told Ressler to follow his gut and not trust Tom but he goes directly to him. Here's hoping Tom still dies.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S3 E1
The Blacklist returned better than ever with Red and Liz on the run. In the end, Red made it out of the city, but Liz had to be creative. She went to the Russian embassy and claimed to be her mother, a Russian spy, asking for diplomatic immunity.

There have been some complaints about Ressler and how he's handling the situation with Keen. I think most people are forgetting that Ressler feels responsible for what Liz did after letting her go. In his mind, the only way to correct his mistake is to catch Keen. He's a by the book kind of guy, but his conversation with Red about Liz may be hinting at feelings Ressler may have for Keen. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Let's not forget Harold and his wife that will not be charged with anything. Does that mean Harold can have his job? I don't see how, but you never know with this show.

As for Dembe, man could have his own TV show since he was totally separated from everyone else. We find out Dembe has a daughter and the most beautiful granddaughter ever. It's totally messed up that the kidnappers gave his grandbaby a toxin that could kill her in 3 weeks if Dembe doesn't do what they say. It's just really fucked up. Seems like The Cabal isn't done fucking people over just yet.

P.S. Wasn't it just foul how Red gave up the Asian guy's name after he helped him out. I know it's what Red does and I wonder if it will still continue now that Liz is on The Blacklist herself now, but it was so not cool.
P.P.S. The way Ressler shot the guy holding Samar hostage...man didn't even blink.


S1 E2
Nice to see Joseph Sikora (Tommy in Power) in The Player still playing as the bad guy. He turns out to be an old buddy of Alex's from the military days except unlike Alex he didn't have anyone to pull him out of his darkness like Ginny did for Alex. There was some great action like always. I mean, they jumped out of a plane together. You don't see that too often. I get why some people compared this to Human Target because it has that adventurous side to it.

Alex had a DNA test done on Ginny and it came back a match, but he still doesn't believe Ginny is dead and neither does the pit boss. So why did he kill the only lead they had? Something tells me he had something to do with Ginny's disappearance, but he doesn't care much for Alex so it's not like he has bigger plans for him. I don't know we'll just have to wait and see.

We got to know a little bit more about Cassandrea. We know she has a boyfriend, which was a surprise to me because I thought she would start falling for Alex. She seems to care enough to want him to win in some way. But it doesn't mean it still can't happen. Why do I get the feeling that she is just as much as a prisoner in this game as Alex is.

Anyway, I'm still worried about this show because the ratings didn't improve even with the premiere of The Blacklist (not like that show was doing great things before, but still...) The only good thing is that viewership only dropped 100,000. I hope that this show can wrap it up with 13 episodes because it looks like it'll have to.


S2 E2
Okay well that didn't end like how I expected it to. Let's start from the top. Annalise was called as a witness or maybe I should say a hostile witness in Nate's pre-trial. Annalise blamed Nate for her husband's death and that left Eve no choice but to point the blame back at Annalise. Things got a little personal at pre-trial. What they say is true--lawyers make the worse witnesses. Annalise was actually quite hurt that Eve got so personal and I was shocked that Annalise was hurt. I'm sorry. I just have a hard time witnessing Annalise show emotions. I mean, most of the time I think she's doing it because she's manipulating someone to do her bidding, but she has nothing to gain by doing it to Eve at that point so I was just confused. Eve let it out that she is still in love with Annalise, which is why she went so hard on her (as payback for leaving her for her dead husband) and Annalise tells Eve that she's the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to her. That's probably because she hasn't corrupted Eve enough yet. They get it on one last time before Eve leaves asking for Annalise to think about following her back to New York. Once again, I'm shocked. I'm shocked this ended on a good note. Eve brings out the good side of Annalise. Yes, Nate was there to see their final kiss so shit is going to hit next episode, but I was thinking that Eve would end up dead like that prosecutor lady that no one likes, not even the viewers. Chick is really annoying.

So Nate won't be prosecuted which was a good call by the judge because the prosecutor lacked the evidence and really didn't know who to pin the murder on. Since the case is over before it started, the unlikable prosecutor is now moving onto another case, the adopted children who murdered their parents, where the unlikable prosecutor will end up dead right outside the adopted children's house. Turns out in 2 months time, Annalise will be bleeding on the floor, Connor will be trying to stop her from bleeding out claiming it always Annalise's fault, Wes will be running away from the house only to run back into the house with the rest of the group solely to get Connor to leave Annalise before the cops show up, and the unlikable prosecutor will be dead outside. Oh this may be crazier than their 1st "murder". Hell, this might actually be a murder this time. I doubt Annalise will bleed out to death so we can rule Annalise dying out. I still don't have a clear theory on who shot Annalise or who killed the unlikable prosecutor, but I do think this time around Asher will be involved. They can't keep him the guy who never gets hungover in The Hangover forever. It's time he becomes part of the group even if he's an idiot who let it slip that Oliver was HIV positive right in his face. Acting like Oliver was going to die. Oliver contracted HIV because he wanted to get over Connor and now Connor blames himself for it.

In other news, Michaela probably went out with Eggs 911 which is probably why he wanted to check her phone since it's been established, to us viewers, that he knew Rebecca because of a photo Wes found they were both in. A few have mentioned how close Michaela and Connor have gotten and that they really are enjoying them together. I must say I agree wholeheartedly. If Connor wasn't gay, I would totally ship them, but then again, that hasn't stopped Michaela before so I say go for it. They seemed really close in the flashforward in the way Michaela calmed Connor down. In the last flashforward both of them were spazing, but in this one it's just Connor. Seems like Michaela is starting to get used to it all.

Frank wants Laurel to stop thinking of him as a gigolo and start thinking of him as boyfriend material. Okay, whatever you say Frank. Bonnie admits that killing Rebecca was all for Annalise and her way of thanking her for saving her from whatever. This girl is more twisted than I first thought. Annalise said that Bonnie being around her has only made her worse. All I have to say is that the Bonnie theory is starting to seem more plausible by the minute. But I'm still conflicted if I should root for Bonnie and Asher. I still think they're cute together, but that bitch is still psycho and Asher is still in a tough spot with the unlikable prosecutor since his job isn't over just yet since unlikable prosecutor will be going up against Annalise in the siblings' case, which just makes me think that Asher did kill the unlikable prosecutor. I think I just created my 1st theory of the season.

Hey People,

S1 E1
That was just some plain old good action. I would describe it as a mini movie. I would describe it as a POI type show, except in this case Finch type character, aka the boss, might be evil. Person of Interest characters always struggle with morality, always questioning themselves if what they're doing is right. There is no questioning in this show. Rich people are gambling on other people's lives. Morality be damned.

Even though the premise is similar, it does separate itself to avoid others calling The Player a copycat. The only reason the player wants to be the player is so that he can find out who killed his ex-wife or didn't kill his wife. Let me explain real quick. The player was going to get back with his ex-wife until someone ending up killing her because the player was a threat to their evil plan. That's when the player meets the pit boss and the dealer. The player can only use the dealer as a resource, but she's a very good resource so that's nothing to hate on. She's basically The Machine. I actually thought for a second that she was an actual machine, but in the end of the episode, it is revealed that she has some connection to the ex-wife, which made her a bit more interesting to me. The player decides to be the player when he realizes that the body that laid in the morgue was not his ex's body (her tattooed wedding ring was not on her finger), which meant the pit boss (and we shouldn't rule out the dealer just because she's a lady) is behind it. They are the only ones who could pull something like this off. So for the player to get answers he decides to play their game and I'm placing my bet on him because like the slogan says "Never Bet Against Him."

P.S. Philip Winchester, I remember you from the Crusoe days. I liked that show just because it reminded me of Xena/Hercules/Beastmaster days. He was definitely "fit" to play the character and Wesley Snipes seems to be enjoying his part. The interrogation scene pretty much displays that.
P.P.S. I can't believe some people are saying POI is better than this show. You can't compare a show going into its 5th season to a show and has achieved greatness to a just aired pilot. Comparing similarities is okay though.
P.P.P.S. I'm already worried about The Player's numbers. It didn't do so great right out the door, but hopefully with a better lead, it can do better. I don't need another Forever situation already happening to me. I'm still not over Forever yet.


S2 E1
I have to say that had to be the best premiere from a returning show I've seen so far. Where do I even begin? Let's start with the case. I'm not sure if they're doing a case each week or it'll just be focused on one case for half the season, I'm hoping for the latter because one of the downfalls of the last year were the cases-of-the-week. This case deals with two adopted kids, who possibly killed their parents for money and then by the end of the episode, the aunt who testified against them ends up dead. Right now I totally think 1 of those kids did it and eventually they're going to need 2 separate lawyers to represent them. And let me just add that I totally think they are boning each other. That is all.

Let me get the theories out of the way. So there is one theory going around that is picking up some steam about Bonnie (we'll get to what she did in a minute) being infatuated with not Sam, but Annalise. At first, I was like no way, she always had those lingering gazes for Mr. Keating, but what if they weren't because she was infatuated with him, but because she was infatuated with Annalise. Remember that crying scene on Annalise's lap? That could totally be looked at in another way, when you think abut it. It could explain why she wants to please Annalise so badly. And now that we know Annalise is bisexual, there is a possibility that it's true.

That's right y'all, Annalise gets down with both teams and even though I was surprised by actually seeing Annalise get down with her old college girlfriend, I wasn't surprised that something happened between them. They hinted as much when we first see them meet. I instantly said, "Something happened between you two in college, right?" They shared a vibe that I picked up on. BTW, I just have to say that I love Famke Jenssen. She oozes sex appeal to me.

So the last theory that has been going around since last season is Annalise being Wes's mother. I'm still not a fan of this theory because Wes's mother killed herself when he was 12, so how the hell could Annalise be his mother? This theory needs to go away because it makes no sense. Plus, the way Annalise touches him and protects him makes me think their is no maternal feelings she has for the boy. Also, at the end of the episode when Annalise was doing her dialogue, when she said "lover" referring to who could be a killer that's when we finally see her shot on the floor. Makes me think there's some foreshadowing going on there. Do I think Wes shot Annalise? He's capable of it, but I don't think so. In this show, things never appear what they seem. I mean, look at Bonnie.

I ruled Bonnie out with my theory last time. I thought why would she get involved with these crazy people. She has nothing to gain from getting involved, but see that's when I thought Bonnie was sane, but that bitch is psycho and I didn't add that to my equation. I didn't make any sense to me why she would do it until Annalise explained that she still wants Sam to be the good guy in her eyes or maybe it's something that Annalise couldn't even think of which was Bonnie doing anything she could to protect her from getting hurt. In the end, it doesn't matter because that bitch is psycho.

In other news, Asher is avoiding Bonnie, because he's being blackmailed by a prosecutor. I'm not sure I even want to root for them now. A part of me still wants me to, but another part of me is saying that bitch is psycho. I'll tell you who wins later. Connor moved in with Oliver and Michaela texted Eggs 911 and Eggs 911 texted back. Why they don't just trace the number is beyond my comprehension. Obviously, that person still uses the number so the cell phone is still on.

I'm looking forward to tonight.

P.S. I totally think Annalise is using Eve to get what she wants because she's a psycho too. She's just a psycho, who uses her sex appeal to manipulate men and women.
P.P.S. Michaela being attracted to gay men is hilarious. She has the best gay-dar ever. Too bad she doesn't know how to use it properly.

Luv ya,
