Powers Renewed for 2nd Season

Hey People,

I finally get around to writing a review for this show and today they announced their renewal.

This doesn't change my mind about whether I'll watch the 2nd season or not, but at least I know now that there will be a 2nd season.

Luv ya,

Powers Season 1 Review

Hey People,

There's a lot of stuff that Powers needs to improve on with the main focus on fighting sequences and writing fluidity. The good thing is the writers know that they have their work cut out for them. This was there first go around and they promise to deliver next season. Here's the thing, I may not be around next season to watch.

They killed one of my favorite characters in the season finale. I knew it was Retro Girl once I saw Walker at a crime scene. This was a bold move and it would be rather interesting to see what they do after that, but what annoys me to no end is that Annoying Girl has powers now. Why did they have to give it to her? Why couldn't they just given back Walker's powers? I know this show is about how a fallen hero gets on his feet again by being a different sort of hero--a cop--but I would much rather have Walker get his powers back than Annoying Girl getting powers at all. Actually, I would much rather see her dead. I don't know if anyone else feels this way because I don't really see that many comments talking about this show, but I seriously hate that character, hence why I call her Annoying Girl.

Hey People,

I'm in New York for the day! Why am I telling you? I have no idea.

S1 E9
Okay that may have been the best episode so far this season. It was a bit hectic with the timeline jumping all over the place, but it made sense in the end.

I love how you didn't know whose side Walker was on. Was he helping Royale to kill Wolfe or was he being a cop and this was all an elaborate plan to imprison Royale? Turns out in the end, Walker wanted to be a cop, but he wanted to be a power foremost and that's why he tried to go for them when he had the chance. But unfortunately for him, he has a smart team that know him and that knew he would go for his power, which is why they moved Wolfe to level 13, hence the name of the episode. But what they didn't anticipate was Royale releasing Simons and when Simons found out Royale was captured, he released Wolfe from his slumber. So now Wolfe is on the loose and the first thing he wants to do is talk to Walker and Royale together.

We are at the season finale people. Today is the last episode and oddly enough I find myself looking forward to it. I always think this show isn't that great and then I watch it and get drawn in. It's really weird and is freaking me out. Wolfe basically told Walker he had no more power to lick off him, so I'm hoping he gets them back this episode.

Also, why didn't Walker and Retro Girl kiss? A kiss on the chick, really? After a moment like that?


S4 E20
I'm not going to lie people, I got the feels on this one. Leave it to POI to change the game on a flashback. Hopefully this episode put to bed all the bad rumors that Taraji P. Henson left on bad terms. She came back and it was like she never left. I loved how John followed Carter's first case. While Finch and Root were dealing with the war between Elias and The Brotherhood, John was saving a number that just so happened to be a Carter's cold case. The whole time we thought it was a flashback of a number we haven't seen before, which it was, but it was more than that. John was hallucinating the flashback because he was shot and was dying. I started to question the flashback when Carter brought up the therapist. What was nice about the Carter and John stakeout is we got to see how distant John really was and how he regrets not opening himself up to Carter.

I love this episode because it shows another side of John. John admits he was thinking of committing suicide, he admits that he thought it was better to die alone without someone to care for him, he admits that is was better to not have a family. Through Carter, he displays how far he has come. Through Carter, he shows his strength. The best part of the episode is the ending. We don't see Finch and we don't see Root, all we see is headlights, knowing that John will be saved in the end because now John has a family.


S3 E20
I like shows where any person can die or leave like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead so I appreciate what Chicago Fire is doing, but why can't they get rid of people no one cares about or people that won't be missed? I'm going to miss Peter Mills and basically the prospect of Mills and Dawson. Even though Mills will be out of the game, I still won't root for Dawson and Casey, so I liked how Mills gave a kiss to Dawson before he left. Funny thing is someone asked the writers if the kiss would be stuck in her head at all and they basically said no, so what was the point of writing it in then?

Severide finds out the girl he's starting to fall for is off to discover the world, but she'll be back once Chicago Med starts up ;) at least they got down and dirty before she left.

Cruz and Otis had to tell Herrmann to bench his son because he sucked at hockey and Herrmann didn't take it so well, but when all was said and done he did end up benching his son and his son was as happy as can be.

We will be getting someone new to replace Mills on paramedics so no Rafferty, on the bright side the person they're replacing him with is pretty hot. This will be the start of anther crossover between Chicago PD and Law & Order: SVU. I'm not going to lie to you people, I'm kind of getting sick of these. This is the 4th one (we had one big crossover in the beginning, another between the Chicagos and then we just had one with Med). Someone said they could just picture it now a 4 show crossover between the Chicagos and SVU. If they do, please let it be once a season. If the Chicagos are all in one night (Fire, Med, and PD), it would be even better so we can get the whole story out in one night. I'll make sure to cover it all so don't worry about it, I got you covered.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S1 E8
So Deena finally caught Annoying Girl aka Calista and now she's locked up. The sway didn't kill her so she must have a power and I'm telling you her power is to annoy the shit out of people. Deena and Walker also found out that she and the dead detective's son were behind the Kaotic Chic video that went viral and they knew exactly where the boy was going to be. When they tracked him down to an event held by Retro Girl, things got out of hand when Zora's handlers thought it was a good idea to stage a fight between Zora and a known villain. The boy got in the middle of it and his mother, one of the handlers, tried to protect him, but she was just another casualty in a war, even if it was staged.

Now the dead detective's son is an orphan (I think I'll call him orphan from now on. I still refuse to call him Krispin), Retro Girl wants to quit her day job because of shit like this happening, another power is dead because of sway, and Royale finally found his lighter that Walker had all along.

I did like this episode, but what I liked most about it was the back-story of Walker and Royale.


S2 E3
Elizabeth and David are separating, which is a surprise to no one. I know some people are upset with Elizabeth calling her a hypocrite because she cheated too, but she's not mad at David for cheating, she's mad at what became of the cheating--Lori entering their lives. Once David knew of Lori being the kidnapper, he still didn't come clean. So now Elizabeth and David will take turns being in the house. Elizabeth needs some time to think if she can forgive David.

Speaking of forgiveness, Taylor is still upset with Max for trying to forgive Crash. Now I understand Max wanting to forgive, I wouldn't be against it, but he doesn't have to be buddy-buddy with him. Taylor has it wrong though. You can't dictate what someone wants to do. Taylor has no say on who Max should forgive. It has nothing to do with her. She should be mad instead of him becoming friends with Crash. I think friendship is a little too much, especially when Crash is unwelcomed in the house and he shows up anyway to see Carter. Seriously, Crash has had so many chances, can't he just go away? I know Carter has this need to fix everything, but I think some things shouldn't be fixed and should be left alone. Carter tries to fix Taylor and Max and that went to crap. But I'm glad they didn't get back together because then it would just make Taylor look like she doesn't know what she wants.

Because of the anniversary of their grandparents, the family had to go to the party and now they will forever be known as the twins where one was kidnapped and the other was drunk, but I like drunk Taylor so I don't mind. Taylor lashed out at Carter for trying to fix her relationship with Max and for the grandmother's friend, who works for admissions at Stanford, practically begging Carter to go to Stanford and ignoring her. But in the end all is forgiven. The grandparents know everything now except for David's affair with Lori.

Speaking of Lori. she has been trying to call the girls from jail to talk to them, but neither picked up until the end when Carter told Lori to leave her and her family alone. Carter has come so far. Also, it was so weird when Armadillo asked his father why he wasn't dating his teacher assistant. Does he not want his parents to be together? I also caught the TA looking at Armadillo in a weird way. I don't trust that TA at all.


S1 E20
This was a good case-of-the-week. At first I liked it because the ballerina wasn't dead, so this would be the first case that actually wasn't a homicide, but since the press was all over it, they had to work it. I'm actually shocked that Henry automatically assumed that the ballerina was dead. I didn't think she was. When you have no body that automatically means to me that maybe the person isn't dead. Anyway, the real twist comes in the end when it is revealed that the ballerina was behind the whole thing just so her name could live forever as the ballerina that could have been the greatest. Damn, that was good and I knew once it was revealed that they would've never been able to prove it. So chick walks free, or more like strolls free since she made her brother, who ended up killing himself (run then jump when you're trying to jump rooftops), caught off her own leg.

As for the flashback, it tied in nicely with the case-of-the-week. A french artist took heroin to inspire her artwork, but it ended up killing her in the end. At least her work will live forever.

As for that moment between Henry and Jo, I won't think much of it for now. I don't think Jo knows what she's feeling yet and I don't think she feels anything for Henry yet either. I just think she knows that rich guy wasn't for her and maybe a guy like Henry is what she wants. Usually Abe is cool with his timing, but boy did he cockblock. At least he found his mother. I hear tonight's episode will be about Abigail, so I can't wait for this to get settled on whether or not she's immortal. I don't think she is.

Henry decides to hold off on trying Adam's theory of killing himself with the weapon that killed him the first time because there's a difference between wanting something and actually doing it.


S3 E19
Last episode was the backdoor pilot for Chicago Med. I never really cover cases-of-the-week for Chicago Fire because I more interested in the firefighters than them putting out fires. However, since this episode is not the usual, I'll give it a mention. A man who works with infectious diseases planned a terror attack on the hospital by using himself as a weapon. Except he forgot to lay low for awhile so the disease could spread throughout his body so it could affect other people. You would think a man who works with diseases would know that, but whatever. Severide got hurt, but he was saved.

In the end, no one caught the disease, not even the guy who had a piece of bone stuck in him from the bomber, which I find odd. Anyway, everyone celebrated at Molly's and Dawson and Casey hooked up. They agree this doesn't mean they're getting back together. I sure hope they don't.

Overall, not a bad episode. I would like to see Chicago Med standalone before I commit to it. As for tonight's episode of Chicago Fire, I hope we get to see more Otis being infatuated with Brett.

Hey People,

S1 E7
Just when I think this show went to crap, it pulls me back in. That ending. Was it the detective's son? Probably not, he doesn't seem like he has the balls to kill someone. My bet is Chaotic Chick or a nobody who did it in the name of Kaotic Chic.

Okay so Walker still doesn't know that he has powers and I'm pretty sure he stole some sway and Deena is onto him and his powers. The biggie is we find out non-powers who take sway are instantly killed, so either annoying girl is going to die, which I really wouldn't care about, or we'll actually find out what her power is, which would finally make her interesting because her relationship with the detective's son is all kinds of crap. I seriously started laughing when they were having their fight. Girl was jealous as hell and I really don't understand why when they've known each other for a minute.

Retro Girl confronted Zora on her being fake, but at least now Zora knows the truth about who really took down Wolfe. RG told Zora that she has a decision to make on what kind of hero she wants to be.

Wolfe wants Walker to get him out of his prison even though he said he wanted to be drained of all his powers. So that stunt he proclaimed was all for nothing. I don't even know what was the point of him saying that when he was lying about it. Anyway, Walker knows Wolfe was trying to mess with his head again and so Walker tries to get info from Royale on why he was visiting Wolfe. Royale takes Walker somewhere and we're left wondering where.

This story has such potential and it's sad that Playstation is fucking it up. BTW, Simons was captured. At least they did a good job with the way the captured him.


S2 E2
Taylor is still having problems adjusting to Lori being her mother and I'm guessing that on top of Crash being back and being the single reminder of Max being shot is making her one very mad woman. She can't believe Max is willing to forgive Crash for what he's done, but Max doesn't want to be the victim and if he stays mad at Crash, then Crash wins and he does end up a victim. Shit, Max is so wise, it's crazy. It may take awhile for Max to forgive, but he's willing. Taylor thinks that they are in 2 different places right now and so the great Maylor breakup. But watch out for Ofe because he might be moving in on Taylor.

Carter figures out that there must be more to the story if Lori wanted to talk to both of her parents and so she asks David and David finally reveals what everyone has been suspecting--he had an affair with Lori. David asks Carter to keep it a secret from Elizabeth until he's ready to tell her, which would have been never because he thought it would end his marriage. In the end, Elizabeth found out anyway because Lori was telling the feds the story and she heard it on the other side of the glass. David is in some deep shit.

Carter did end up meeting Crash, but she's not ready to forgive him. Hell, she still doesn't even know if she should forgive him. I don't care what she does. I just hope she doesn't get back with him. The last thing she needs is Crash back into her life.


S4 E19
Okay what was Martine doing as a brunette. Root was right she is way hotter as a blonde. Zoe was back for the episode and she didn't play a huge part, but she did tell us something we all know is already true. Iris is a dead woman walking as long as Reese keeps seeing her. I'm just glad Zoe wasn't jealous. Like she said, she's just protective.

Anyway, the case-of-the-week once again mixes with our mythology and does a splendid job of keeping me interested. However, I do have to say with Root still feeling the effect of Shaw and wanting to kill Martine on top of it did make me miss Shaw for the first time. I miss Shaw all the time, but never while I watch.

Samaritan targeted a bio-tech guy, who would help it search for The Machine with his invention. Since the bio-tech guy is so suspicious, he had to be eliminated and in the end, he was. The takeaway from the episode is that now Samaritan has a way to search for The Machine and it's only a matter of time before its found.

Root procured a case that seems nearly indestructible. I thought she was after what was inside the case, which turned out to be just an artifact, but it was the case itself The Machine wanted. Smash went the artifact, which looked really pretty to tell you the truth. I wonder what Team Machine will need it for.

Taraji P. Henson (Empire) is coming back to her TV roots and is dawning Carter once again. Do not miss this episode.

Hey People,

So I have a lot of shows on Tuesday now and it doesn't help that 4 of them are on at the same time.

S1 E6
I was confused for a minute if Walker really did take Wolfe's power or at least some of it, but Royalle confirmed that he did indeed take it that's why he's trying to extract sway from users. Sway is too powerful of a drug.

Deena is still mad about Walker locking her up in a cell and the fact he took sway. She needs to trust her partner because her father basically fucked over his partner and got him killed.

I've been calling him the dead detective's son because I couldn't remember his name and now that I know it's Krispin, I think I'll continue using dead detective's son. He sleeps with annoying girl, well there's a shocker, but the honeymoon ends rather quick when annoying girl finds out the video they taped earlier was released and Chaotic Chick released it making it seem like the hero, who was trying to stop them from tagging, killed the people in the car accident. Annoying girl wasn't having any of it even though she sampled a few moments before.

Retro Girl figures out Walker is the one who took Wolfe down and since Triphammer's main goal in life is to get drunk, he tells a story about the Black Swan. Now, Retro Girl and Walker have to figure out what that is. Then all of a sudden Wolfe appears on TV giving a statement of how he wants to be drained completely because it's the only way for people to be safe. All I can think about is what is Wolfe up to and why doesn't Walker know he has powers? Did it wore off? Maybe that's why he was asking Trippy all those questions that he was too drunk to answer. Also, Triphammer is trying to get another Drainer to work at the police station, but for some reason it's not woring. Retro girl doesn't like the idea of the Drainer. She thinks it's a ticking time bomb. If I had to guess, the Black Swan is a permanent drainer, which is exactly what Wolfe would be looking for.


S2 E1
I love how you can tell that time has passed between the last episode and this one based on everyone's hair being longer and how Armadillo is taller than Carter now.

I'm a little upset with myself that I got the theory wrong, but in my defense, I did mention the theory that turned out to be true. Lori is the crazy egg donor lady that now wants her kids back and thinks abducting one of them to get the attention of the other will work. She does not think her plans through. It's anonymous for a reason lady.

Lori ends up going to jail and Carter and Taylor are safe at home, but everything has changed. Now the truth is out and Taylor needs some time to deal with her biological mother being a psycho. On the plus side, Elizabeth is the only mother Taylor knows and she's the only one Carter wants. I love that line.

Max is back and he's here to stay! I'm happy that Maylor is back on, but I have to say, I thought their breakup and makeup was too quick. Why did Max change his mind all of a sudden? He's been dealing a lot with his accident, but he seems very distant from Taylor. When a woman invites you to her room and a guy says no, you know something's up.


S1 E19
Ugh, why is Jo still going out with that rich loser? She can do so much better. Anyway, he wasn't around much so I really shouldn't complain. The case-of-the-week involved a cold case of a woman who was stuck in a wall for 30 something years and is finally found. Turns out she had some rockers child and didn't want to burden the rocker because she wanted him to focus on his career, but then she changed her mind and did want to burden him, but the man who helped her get sober and clean didn't want her to go back to the rocker and so he killed her and kept the child. The rocker was sent to jail for the murder because everyone thought he did it.

Henry is dealing with his abandonment issues. We find out that Abigail all of a sudden left Henry and Henry was determined to find her, but Abe told Henry to move on after a year of her missing. But by the end of the episode, we find out Abe is just like his father. He hasn't stopped looking for his mother.

Some people are speculating that Abigail is immortal based on nothing. I don't see the show going there, but who am I to say it can't happen. The Abigail mystery will be resolved by the end of the season.


S3 E18
I will never doubt my theory again. Brett and Otis might actually get together. For some reason, I'm more excited over the prospect of them than I ever was with Cruz and Brett. I love how Otis concluded that he was in love with Brett. I feel like Otis pining over Brett is going to be hysterical. Though I was thrown when Cruz broke up with Brett, but does it really matter who broke up with whom? Pride is a funny thing.

Peter Mills is fit for squad once again, but I doubt he will get it. I like Rice and I love Warren Christie so I hope he stays on the show. I guess it all depends on if viewers want Rice to stay because I know Christie wants to stay. Maybe this will create drama for Mills on whether he should stay in Chicago and keep the job he doesn't want or work in the family restaurant in North Carolina, which he also wouldn't want.

We found a lot out about Severide. His father slept with his teacher in high school. His mother checked into what I'm guessing is a mental facility and so with nowhere to go, Severide stayed with a friend's family. The thing is once senior year started, he acted like he didn't know the girl, who talked to her parents for him to stay with them. They haven't been the same since. Now the girl works for Chicago Med and Severide is trying to make up for lost time. We already know a romance will start soon with these, but I'm actually enjoying their friendship and think they shouldn't go there. Severide needs a friend since Shay died and I guess I'm still holding out for his wife to come back too.

But the main focus of the episode was Herrmann and how he hates parents who abuse/neglect their children. A father, who started a fire with a crack pipe, came away unscathed, but his young son died at the end of the episode. So now he shouldn't be charged with just arsonist and child endangerment, but you can add murderer to the list as well. This case reminds me of a real life situation where the father let his baby of a son smoke. It's true what they say, some parents shouldn't be parents.

Tonight's eppy I believe is the backdoor pilot of Chicago Med. If all goes well, it will be another spin-off for NBC.


S4 E18
Oh no, KISS OF DEATH! Anytime there's a kiss on this show, especially from John, the woman he kisses will end up dead. Iris is going to die y'all. But before I dive into this mess, let's go over the case.

We had the pleasure of seeing Katheryn Winnick (Bones, Vikings) playing as Frankie and man was she awesome. I would totally be on board if they brought her into the show full-time or even part-time (I mean girl has a black belt). The case wasn't that unique--Frankie wanted revenge for the killing of her brother--but the ending was. Note to self: when making deals, make sure to listen to the wording of phrases and never trust Harper. In the end, the bad guys were caught and as much as Frankie likes the idea of Reese in handcuffs, she knew he was a taken lad.

Speaking of Harper, The Machine has her on speed dial. Harper is working for The Machine and she doesn't even know it.

As for Finch and Root, Finch was going on a date with conference woman, who works for Samaritan. She was going to implement her code into Samaritan, but Finch created a backdoor in Hong Kong in her code so they could kill Samaritan from within. The thing is once Finch turns it on, his cover would be blown and he would end up dead. Root can't handle another death in her family, not after Shaw, so she decides to kill the woman. Finch doesn't want another death on his hands so he takes poison that Root was going to kill the woman with. Root backs down from her killing plans and somehow Finch makes it to the hospital in less than 10 mins. Root instead discredits the woman's work and frames Finch so the woman wouldn't want to continue seeing Finch anymore. Finch said he needs time to get over what Root would have done and Root leaves. Hopefully, Root can come back sooner rather than later. I don't like it when both Root and Shaw are out of the picture.

As for John and Iris, Iris you are a dead woman walking. Iris confesses her feelings for John even though she's not supposed to have any because he's her patient, which is why she referred him to another therapist, but chick don't care. She basically said fuck it and kissed John anyway and now she's going to die.

I swear, anytime I finish an episode, I just want to watch the next one right after. Too bad I can't because I watch it weekly. This is such a binge worthy show. Anyway, there were some people who didn't feel for this episode. I wasn't one of them, but they did have some good points. The Root and Finch situation was a bit of a stretch. Root killing someone to save someone she cares about was understandable especially since what has happened this season, but Finch taking poison is just something that Finch wouldn't do even to prevent someone he cared about from dying. Some people don't like Harper. I get that, but Harper does what's best for Harper not what's great for the world and I don't think people should hate on her for that. Now some say they felt more chemistry with Frankie than they ever felt for Iris. This I don't agree with. Frankie and John would have seemed rushed to me but Iris had a slow build and I like relationships like that. However, now I'm skeptical about Iris because some people think she's a Samaritan operative and if she was that would have been something I did not foresee. It would be interesting if she was, but oh so sad for John.

Hey People,

Well this was quite an intriguing case that intertwined with Henry's turmoil. Henry has always believed that his immortality was a curse. He first died by trying to free slaves from his father's ship, but died in the process. But what he didn't know was he dropped the key to free the slaves and they took over the ship and sailed north to live as free men.

The case-of-the-week involved a slave descendant of the ship (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and he too was fascinated with the slave ship so much so that he actually found it. The problem was a girl's brother died trying to find the ship and she wanted revenge on the people responsible. Obviously, she was caught by the end of the episode, but what will be continuing on into the episode tonight is the date Jo and the descendant went on. I have to say, I'm not really feeling the love/chemistry between these two. He just comes off as rich douche, but that may be just me, but I highly doubt it. I don't see what Jo sees in this guy because there's nothing there.

Adam buys the gun that killed Henry the first time and Henry must help Adam find the dagger that first stabbed him. Adam believes that the first thing that kills them could break the "curse" and they will finally be able to rest in peace. Now that Henry holds the gun that may in fact kill him (which I highly doubt), he starts to notice the clock ticking, meaning he's starting to notice time passing. His days may be numbered.


S1 E5
Okay so I'm a bit confused about some things. What the hell is Zora's power? So now light can cause force? I know they mentioned Powers aging slower than ordinary people and that's why Walker looks older now since he lost his powers and Retro Girl and Wolfe looks the same, but what's Royalle's excuse? Man has aged just as much as Walker. And can Playstation please hire someone from Nikita so they know what a good fight looks like. It's not just about punching and kicking. The CGI needs work and the flying/levitating does as well.

Now that I vented, I'll continue with the recap. After everything I've said about the show, I still enjoy watching it because even though it has many faults, it still has a good and entertaining story. The acting isn't bad either. Last week, it seemed as though Walker has taken Wolfe's powers because of the sway he took before. Hopefully, he doesn't go crazy too. Wolfe is locked up in his jail cell and Zora is credited for saving the day, even though she did jack shit. I don't even hate her for it because as we saw in the flashback in 1994, Walker and Royalle took the credit of stopping Wolfe then, even though they did jack shit. So it just seems like the only true heroes in this show are Retro Girl and that guy who is half man and half machine.

Royalle wants all the sway taken off the streets and wants the names of everyone who took it. Does he know the effects of sway? Does he know what Walker has become? Meanwhile, annoying girl and the dead detective's son met up again and this time the boy introduced the girl to the idea of Kaotic Chic. Maybe this girl will become a real hero after all, represent the ordinary people, and dawn the name Kaotic Chic.

The public knows about Drainer and now Powers have something to fear.

Who let the Wolfe out? Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff. Man that song brings back memories. Okay so it turns out Royalle has been visiting Wolfe for months to create Sway. Wolfe is Sway. But because Wolfe was picked in the eye too many times, he developed a tolerance for it and therefore started becoming stronger. Now he's out of his cage and running rampant feeding on people to gain more power. The episode ends with him feeding on a Power, which isn't good people.

Meanwhile, Walker took Sway, which is really stupid to be honest because he knows that thing kills powers. Now he's throwing up and walking like a Walker on TWD. Haha Walker's a Walker (it's funny, at least to me it is). He finds Wolfe, but Wolfe seems to be in his own world. I'm guessing being under the weather for so long has messed up his head. The fact that he eats people is already messed up to begin with.

Retro Girl flew off somewhere to help with a hurricane, but #whothefuckcares If this shit goes south which it seems like it already has, she won't be there to save the day. Zora, on the other hand, wants to be the hero and thinks this is her big chance. All we've seen this girl do so far is play with some blue blocks. I really don't get her power. Apparently it has something to do with lighting.

Royalle and Walker could have prevented Wolfe's killing sprees if they did what he asked them to do years ago--kill him. Royalle was planning on running (like he usually does), but Annoying Girl talked him out of it and to take responsibility by killing Wolfe in return she'll stay with him. Annoying Girl was actually not annoying in this episode, she actually became interesting when she made Wolfe agree to help her kill her father. Now who is her daddy? Wolfe goes back to the prison, but gets stuck in the Drainer so now he's stuck in a cell. That was a quick fail.

As for that power hater kid, he and Chaotic Chic are planning something to get revenge for the kid's father. Well more like she's planning something for him to thank him for getting revenge for her last week. I swear they are going to start a movement #powerhaters

I wasn't really all that interested in the case-of-the-week, but it did get a nice twist in the end that I much enjoyed. It was about a bunch of hackers that had the key to the city by having all the codes to get into any system they wanted. Now here's what I don't get. Why would a some cyber agent hand over the codes just like that? Was the sex that good that she was just like "Here are the codes baby. Now let's get married?" She obviously gave them to the hacker, I just don't understand why. Anyway, so this hacker group got the codes and when the hacker who slept with her dumped the agent because he got what he wanted, she killed him and started in on his posse.

So when the real girlfriend was next on the agent's list she wanted to disappear and needed her death certificate. That's when Henry comes in. The girlfriend knew Henry was a fake (even though he really is a doctor just not from this century) and so she blackmailed him. But Henry has a code he lives by that the girlfriend, nor the agent could persuade him to break. In the end, the girlfriend does a solid for Henry for saving her life and catching the killer by fixing up his records so no one would know the difference.

In the flashback, Henry meets his first wife, Nora, after she put him in the asylum and she now believes Henry to be immortal since she's old and he's still sexy as ever. When Henry didn't want to go public, Nora tried to prove it to people by shooting him, but she shot the nurse instead (probably on purpose if she knew Henry was banging her). Off to the asylum she probably went.

Well that was a twist for us. Let's start with the case-of-the-week. A therapist who lost his wife 8 years ago due to someone murdering her is now a vigilante who gets revenge for his patients. That would make a great comic. I'm just saying. But when the man who went down for the murder gets out, the therapist puts to work a plan he's been planning for years.

At 1st I thought I liked the therapist (me love vigilantes!), but then I thought he was a perpetrator because he was planning against the man he thinks killed his wife. Then Reese and Fusco wanted to let the guy go through with his plan, but I was on Finch's side. We didn't know for sure if the guy did it or not and besides he already served time for it. I'm guessing he got out for good behavior. I thought the therapist was going to kill the "murderer" once I saw his neighbor take the dog, but in the end, he turned the gun on himself and for some reason I didn't see that one coming. Finch talked him out of it telling him not to ruin the good memories, revenge isn't the answer and some other type of bullshit. And so the therapist backed down. Yet, I like how the show leaves it in the air on whether the guy killed his wife or not. We will probably see the guy back in an episode in the future.

Meanwhile, Reese got closer to his personal therapist by telling her how he lost someone he once loved and how he doesn't know how to deal with grief.

There was no Root and obviously no Shaw so this episode seemed more like a season 1 type and I was expecting a little bit more after how things ended the episode before this.

"Pilgram" - Fink

Hey People,

It's seems like a few of shows have been using this song lately (The Blacklist, Powers) and I liked it so much that I wanted to share it. I usually don't hear the same song used on TV shows, but this one caught my ears.

Hey People,

S1 E2 & E3
Last week they showcased 3 episodes at once, but I only reviewed the pilot so let me catch you up on what happened in the other episodes. For some reason I feel like buying a Sony phone and I don't know why. I get it Sony no other phone company exists other than you. Also, the Powers' title reminds me of Fringe.

E2
If they aren't siblings, then they must have dated for so long that they picked up each others mannerism. Retro Girl and Walker leaving a message on each others phones was a sight.

The biggest take away of this episode was Royalle making himself known to the public and registered as a Power. Walker knows he had something to do with Olympia's death. By the end of the episode, Royalle tells Walker he won't hurt him as long as he doesn't get in his way.

I now dub that Wannabe, annoying girl. First she lies to Retro Girl and than she upset that RG was going to turn her in. Really hun? She does have a power. It's called most annoying girl ever and will probably survivor this whole season. Royalle takes her under his wing.

E3
Annoying girl is still annoying. I really hope she doesn't get powers and I'm failing as to see why she's so important. I don't know why Royalle hasn't killed her yet. She's more trouble than she's worth, but I guess it's because he couldn't save his sister, who resembles her. Royalle and Annoying Girl both come from an abusive family. It's something they have in common, but it was Retro Girl who tried to show Annoying Girl that powers aren't what make you powerful. Obviously girl didn't get the message.

Meanwhile, there is a movement starting. Walker's dead partner's son is trying to get people to recognize that when powers get involved hero or villain, regular people get hurt. He's trying to give non-powers a voice--Kaotic Chic.

Sway might be the drug that boost powers, but something that Royalle doesn't know is the Captain of the Powers Division and some non-power hero are working on something called Drainer that drains away people's powers. The hero has been perfecting it and I believe he's just got it right.

Now about that ending, has Royalle been in control this whole time? Wolfe was pleading for his freedom. Or is it because Royalle is the only one that can let him out?


I forgot to mention it last week, but since the whole Mouch being a father isn't going away anytime soon let me say it now. Why would anyone hack into a sperm bank? This isn't Sony where you get movie releases and people's salaries. It's a sperm bank. That's probably one of the last places a hacker would want to hack into because you can't gloat about it. I hacked into a sperm bank aren't I badass? No, not at all.

Had to get that out of my system. Anyway, there were a few familiar faces that I haven't seen in quite some time. I'm talking to you Eric Mabius (Ugly Betty, The L Word) and Warren Christie (Alphas).

Casey is fixing up a joint next to the strip club and me thinks he has his eyes on a girl there. Meanwhile a new guy is filling in for Newhouse (permanently?), but Mills wants his old spot back, but will the doctor clear him before Boden makes his decision? Maybe we'll find out tonight. It seems the new guy needs the position more than Mills. He left his firehouse to take care of his son since his wife passed away and now he's ready to get back into those fires. But let me just mention this. I know Mills was taking risks last week, but what I don't get is why no one at the theater went to help the guy hanging from the scaffold? I think it's human nature for someone to run up and help a person as long as the scaffold was in place, but no, for some reason these people just like watching from a distance. They wanted to see Humpty Dumpty fall.

Why is that anytime the creators of Chicago Fire want to do a spin-off Severide has to date one of the characters? Just making an observation. I'm guessing this is in preparation for Chicago Med.

I applaud Brett. She knows what she wants and Cruz isn't it. Get out now, Brett. She came to Chicago to change for the better and with Cruz it's the same old. Otis seems like a party-er or at least he was, but so was Cruz so there goes my theory of Otis and Brett getting together. We'll probably see the breakup tonight. I doubt they would do it off screen.

Luv ya,

Powers Pilot Review

Hey People,

I watch YouTube videos and saw this ad for it. I thought it was a game at first, but then I realized they were actual people. I even saw ads on my own blog so I had to try it out. It was like everything was telling me to just do it and so I did. This is the first Playstation original so it seems like everything is coming out with a show nowadays. More for me to watch I guess. I tried it and I liked it. Let me explain.

Summary: Superheroes and villains that have powers and are called as such. There exists one power (our protagonist) that lost his powers and now catches villains the old fashion way--as a cop.

The show starts off with our hero's partner getting killed and is replaced with this young thang that just wants to put bad powers behind bars. She's young, naive, and rules with her emotion. I like her.
