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 One of the potential problems of the old educational series is that some of it is outdated.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.
