Season 2 Episode 9

While I am putting most of my blogs on hiatus, if things go according to plan, this will not be one of them as it shouldn’t need to be and I’m not behind on it. If things do get behind with this blog, at least you will know why.

 

The next song from Schoolhouse Rock to share is Interplanet Janet. It seems to have a good lesson learned, although it can be hard to tell. I do forget how much of this will be outdated. I know one in Money Rock will be.

Now getting to the last part of The Ocarina of Time, here is the final boss, Ganon. I will share the sub-bosses and bosses of The Wind Waker next. I won’t include the ending of the game, even though I could.

The next song from Songs from the Heart is Non C’e Piu. I originally didn’t like this song, but it grew on me. I wish that I knew the pronunciation of some of their songs so I could correctly sing it if I wanted to. Maybe I’ll check one of the forums of this group to figure out if they can explain it.

There was a lot that I talked about in this old Madam Secretary blog post and I will get a bit political while talking about it. I talk about my progress of watching Survivor: Borneo again. Guess what one of the 18 things I’m watching on DVD or tape is? I also talk about having a lot of shows added at once at the start of the year, something that I have rigged in a way not to do again. I delve a bit into why I didn’t want to put when I watched old Survivor episodes my blog on Survivor. You see, there was this post that I had decided had too much detail in it so I make a post without the extra detail that I didn’t need in addition to the whole mess that it was.

 

I admit to talking more about politics in that blog then about the episodes in question. I also want to rephrase something. I am old fashioned. You are not taking away my flip phone, VCR, or oxford commas. I wind up talking more about Survivor then I should. I point out the good guy with a gun fallacy. I’ll post a video about that in the next blog post. I wind up finding things funny due to hindsight as I mention something being the worst thing that Republicans have ever done and thinking it is hilarious. I don’t know nutting do I? I also talk about not liking the plot of the episode and wonder did this episode help inspire election lawsuits?

I am writing another acrostic poem, this one on a city. This time, I picked the city of St. Louis. I will not always know what I will pick. And, unlike the poems that I put in my Madam Secretary blog, I will try to keep this apolitical.

 

Somewhere in the Midwest

There lies a nice city

Let’s be glad that it exists

Or else Missouri would be blander

USA would be less interesting

In case you missed it

Sports wouldn’t be as good

 

The first part has a woman chased in the darkness. (How am I supposed to hit a sap button on a universal remote? Do any of them have it?) Catherine wants a locker where Gil used to have one. Some of the team arrives where the woman is dead with a gunshot to the head. Penny is with the team for this one. The victim’s name is Shelby and a bearded man appears to be the killer. Penny sees bleach there. My brother saw a movie called Bleach. I think this is different. Allie has an upcoming exam that she might be ignoring because of the case.

 

The team goes to what seems to be a regency costume party where the crime scene was. There are at least two rooms and a you better take a look at this cliché. There are photos of Shelby with a guy named Clarence whose photo booth death was caught on camera. The audio descriptive video that I’m stuck with might help since now I will be able to catch names better.

 

The second part has more of the ballroom investigated and they think that Clarence was the main target with Shelby killed for being a witness. The team talks to a woman named Prudence. Man, I hope that there aren’t many people with that name left in the world. It is too old fashioned. Penny reveals that the killer has taken anti-psychotic medication, but probably wasn’t on the meds that he was supposed to be at the time of the killing. Wait. Someone is off the meds that they are supposed to be on? That must mean that Kanye West is the killer.

 

Winslow, who was in a relationship with Shelby, has the same sized shoe as the killer, but not the same shoes. He is the husband of Shelby. This case relates to the Eclipse. We still aren’t done with that plot point apparently. There was penetration that got the woman in a bad way. I heard that can happen. The gun is different than usual. There is then another death, Lamare James from a recent episode who was going to be a victim until his life was saved. They are missing something as there is a connection that they can’t yet figure out. We then finally see footage again of the cliffhanger of last season of the room in all white with strange symbols.

 

The third part has people convinced that the killer of Lamare, Shelby, and Clarence are one at the same. Josh is concerned that Allie isn’t prepared for the test as he doesn’t want her to take it twice. Josh is in another place where he is able to spray for footprints where a lot of bleach was. The team figures out that Lamare was the real target with Clarence killed for looking like him since the killer couldn’t see as well due to the bleach. Four birds are there and important with Penny realizing that corn might be the key to this case.

 

Catherine and Maxine want to talk to the person who tried to kill Lamare. When Josh and Allie go to the crime scene, they learn that he was being blackmailed into being a killer and he was supposed to target someone else who became a killer and there are connections in all of this to three recent cases.

 

The fourth part has the connections that are hard to keep track of and summarize. Alan is finally integrated. He claims that his memory is fuzzy. They want to know who else might have wanted Lamore dead. He gets freaked out by the note: You must cull the rotten fruit. We still get mere glimpses of this other white room killer. I don’t even know what to call him or her. Penny thinks that it is weird that Beau seems to have no fear. But he just seems calmer. The team goes to where a Richard might be at. He has the bolt gun. He talks about weird things and seems mentally unstable. But he also confesses to some of the recent crimes. There is a struggle between Serena Chavez and Richard, with it unclear what happened at the moment.

 

The fifth part has Richard rambling on as his injured body is taken to a hospital. Of course, it is too early to figure out key secrets so of course someone’s going to die. They think that a computer is ordering the deaths with a person in control of them hacking it. Didn’t they already fail at CSI: Cyber? But it could work for a big bad of this season. It was probably not Richard in the all white room.

 

Catherine tells Penny to speak up with her opinion. Allie talks to Josh about working with Serena since Serena is dating Josh. Allie wants to change shifts and doesn’t think that she can be friends with Josh the way that they are or used to be. I hadn’t really realized that Serena was a main character this season and the person that Josh was fucking. Penny realizes that the laptop that the team has is one that the killer is using to spy on people including them at the moment. The plot thickens. There aren’t any scenes from next time so I guess the series will return next year. Good. I look forward to seeing you and the show then. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 8

There is a show that airs against this one (not at the moment) called Alaska Daily. It looked like it could be good although all signs point to this not lasting. I’ll never know if it was any good or not. I guess I might be better off not knowing in the event that it ends on a cliffhanger or otherwise isn’t as good a show as it looks.

 

Continuing on with more of Schoolhouse Rock, the next song in the series that there is to cover is The Energy Blues. One of the potential problems of the old educational series is that some of it is outdated. It’s why I hope that they don’t air the Arthur episode anymore where D.W. gets chickenpox and implies that one should get it while now in time one should get vaccinated against it instead of getting it.

Near the end of The Ocarina of Time, something that happens during it has the final boss sort of beaten before the absolute final boss is fought is that you have to go through the part of Escaping Ganon’s Tower. That’s included here.

Now since the last post covered a song from The Prince of Egypt, I will get to the only other song that’s after When You Believe that that’s I Will Get There. This is the last song from the movie in question. I wasn’t even sure that I’d be able to include more as my original source of finding what songs were in it, the soundtrack, wasn’t putting the songs in the right order. Thankfully, there is a Dreamworks fandom that I could use to look up songs and found this one.

Going into more of Songs from the Heart, the next one that is covered is a twofer. It is a lead-in featuring the only song in the group’s history not to feature any of the main members and is instead something played on whatever musical instrument is that. It is called The New Ground. This leads into the main song: Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears. It was also the name of the tour that they did right before this concert was filmed.

In this old post from my Madam Secretary blog, I talk about the power cord on the laptop that I was using for blogging affecting things and this post was almost done normally in order, but changed so that I could do the previous one normally. I also had talked about ranking NFL teams, but not doing the deductions for tape delay like I said that I would. I have spread out the complete ranking in my Survivor blog so far, but have not finished it as I’m waiting for the results of a January 1^st game next year. I also talk about Congress voting on election results, something the episode talks about some, which we all now know happens on January 6.

With me wanting to cover a state now with an acrostic poem, I have decided that I will now cover the state of Louisiana. I won’t currently cover anything in any of these poems that cover 3, 4, or 5 letters lest I start doing haikus, clerihews, or limericks and combine them with acrostics every now and then.

 

Lots of southern hospitality here

On down yonder on the bayou

Used to people on nice behavior

It is a sweet place to some

South in the country

In a coastal place

And with a mighty river

Near to unique food

A pretty interesting place

 

Movie update: On Saturday, I watched Avatar. I replaced it with Johnny English Reborn with commentary from Monday’s list. This leaves only one choice from Monday’s list to move provided that there isn’t an s choice on the list that I want to move it to. On Sunday, there was once again a family visit that prevented me from watching a movie. On Tuesday, while I sort of rolled The Emperor’s New Groove to watch, I didn’t bother watching it.

 

On Wednesday, the roll was now the crossover tape. I finished that and replaced it with crossover tape 2 since nothing could be moved from Monday’s list and I had to put something there that sort of worked. On Thursday, I watched Bambi and replaced it with The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, the last of Monday’s choices that are now moved to a new list.

 

On Saturday, I was busy with family visits and had no time for a movie. The same was also true on Sunday, despite it being a different family visit this time. On Tuesday, I watched Back to the Future part 3. This causes Tuesday’s list to dissolve as there was not a possible replacement for it. I did not see a movie on Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday due to family visits. And now I’m switching to Christmas movies for a while. I will get to a reminder of the lists as they stand, including how Tuesday’s list will be dissolved, only if I’m sure that I’m not going back to the list this year.

 

The first part has us in Minsk, wherever that is. We finally get to Catherine. So that’s where she has been. Hopefully she hasn’t been a lone wolf. But this does make sense as to where she’s been for the last few episodes. She is taking some man to Vegas in regards to the disappearance of Grace. He claims that Grace was murdered and that he knows who did it. He wants immunity. The judge is reluctant to do this. But in a twist that you totally saw coming, he winds up being poisoned and makes a run for it. However, in a twist that you didn’t see coming, he was faking it and ran. He’ll probably wind up dead for reals later.

 

Catherine has some of Grace’s things. Isn’t that a movie? A Girl Called Grace? I don’t think that I’m interested in this for sure. After talking to Maxine, they find the dead body of their key witness that they investigate the crime of. Maybe this means that she isn’t dead? We’ll see. They are hoping that this crime scene will tell them what happened and lead to information in the Grace case.

 

The second part has the death of this person with a name I couldn’t spell after hearing it being investigated. Weird things were in this place where he was killed. And the killer tried to clean things up, but left behind evidence. A rare chemical was found. Beau mentioned that he only smoked cigars twice: when both of his daughters were born. Does anyone have any idea where this cigar for birth tradition came from? I’ve never heard of it for a very long time. I’d never do it myself and can only hope that someone who suggests it to me can explain it to me. There is a cigar as evidence.

 

Catherine doesn’t like how it seems that the killer of Grace keeps getting further away. The team goes to a place and finds where Miguel was and not his killer. They are able to find the dead body of Grace. Also, the hotel called The Eclipse is still a shady place that probably relates to her death.

 

The third part has Catherine and Maxine wondering what might have happened to Grace. Catherine thinks that Miguel hid the body there as leverage, but wasn’t the person or people who killed her. There were at least two bullets she was shot with, although only one of them was still in her. She also swallowed paper that was there before she was killed that’s now a clue. They talk to a smoker who might be more important, but isn’t seen much just yet.

 

Part of the paper contains the phone number of Catherine that was given to Grace the day before she disappeared. It seems that what seems to be random scribbles on the paper she swallowed are a map. The painting in the room was stolen. They have a real Van Go which was replaced by a replica.

 

The fourth part has Catherine talking to Rick, the smoker, about the cases at hand. She is still a shareholder at this hotel. She looks at the cameras. They are able to use an art expert to figure out that the painting with blood on it was real. It seems that a masterful person wasn’t that masterful in the end. I can’t quite understand all of the explanation. There was a forgery business going on. A man named Frank that I have not seen is brought in. He was a hitman like Will Smith. He wants a lawyer. Rick is still a suspect and many questions remain. Catherine notices something in a box that one of the women has who was dismissed.

 

The fifth part has it revealed that Jodi, the woman who was fired, might be the killer and person behind the forgery. Frank deleted other security footage such as one in a room that is then investigated by others. Jodi is brought in by Catherine who then has all of the evidence being brought up. Jodi is guilty and hired Frank. Catherine talks about wanting to leave now. She may even turn to the eclipse. But she stays with the team for now as they go to another crime scene that will hopefully be the focus on the next episode in question.

 

On the next CSI: Vegas, there are three connected cases and they know a person relating to what must be a new one. I guess that I’ll see and they’ll explain what all has happened lately and how it is connected. That doesn’t make the hiatus doing into this any better, though. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
