Season 2 Episode 13

With the previously posted episode of this blog dealing with something from what at the time would have been four years ago, I will now be sharing my cast update from my CSI: Cyber blog in February of 2019. This means that I will be switching back and forth between sharing the cast updates of the CSI: Cyber blog with the next month after that one and continuing with the blog sharing from my Madam Secretary blog. This will delay the sharing of that blog’s next post to the next post of this blog.

 

Anyways, in this post that I’m sharing, it mentions some of what shows were replacing what at the moment on CBS. I also notice that a lot of things become outdated, but I don’t always mention what or change it to something better later. Note that at the time, two people from Elementary were in that blog as was one person from Madam Secretary. Both of those blogs will be affected when they aren’t in the look backs anymore. I’m not sure how or if that makes sense.

There were more deleted Schoolhouse Rock songs than I have shared before already. The last one in relation to Science Rock was about the weather and is called The Greatest Show on Earth, which also happened to be the name of the circus that is kind of a mouthful to say, hence the potential issues with that. But at least it exists on YouTube. I have no idea if this is on Disney+ or not.

Continuing on to the next boss in Wind Waker, we get to the boss of Forbidden Woods and that’s Kalle Demos. I wonder why in this video doesn’t have the person trying to leave the flower area before he gets hurt. Maybe they can’t? But they should be able to since that would be helpful and less dangerous.

Since there are still more songs to share from Trolls, I’m now going to share the True Colors movie version from Trolls. This should be my last time sharing this song in this blog for quite a while, if ever again.

Continuing on with more songs from Songs from the Heart, Celtic Woman did a cover of a Billy Joel song and they called it Goodnight My Angel. They actually had to redo this whole song since there was a power outage during it at one point which there is somehow footage of. (It’s a special feature on the DVD.) It would be quite a while until they did another live concert outside again. I think that it was Ancient Land which was at a different castle then A New Journey was. Those who know the Billy Joel version will note that Celtic Woman shortened the song a bit, which if fine by me.

The next video, if you are able to see it, is one of the recurring bits from the current version of The Tonight Show: Jimmy Fallon thank you notes. I felt that this was worth sharing. I can only hope that it shows up for you when you click this video. I had some issues sharing some of his videos to facebook and now must find another that is public to make things “equal” if you will with what I feel that I owe posts on.

Football team ranking update: If you read my Survivor blog when I was explaining that if an area that has an NFL team suffered a misfortune, I would put that team as the next in line to root for. Well, in 2021, there was the storming of the capitol, but I won’t be rooting for the Commanders as a result because it just doesn’t seem like what would affect the city as a whole. It was a different type of bad thing happening. But there was later a hurricane that affected New Orleans. Thus, the Saints are the next highest team to root for.

 

Finally getting back to acrostic poems, I will be doing one on the state of Kentucky. Depending on how many of these that I get, I plan to cover all of the ones with major election cycles in 2023 before getting to the ones with major elections in 2024. By major, I mean just gubernatorial.

 

Kentucky can be a great place

Especially with their famous fried chicken

Not to mention, plenty of other great things

There is a lot of good in this state

USA is great to have this state

Can you imagine it not being around?

Kind, southern people would be less plentiful

You would miss a lot of generosity

 

Movie update: On Friday, I decided that I couldn’t watch a movie yet with all of what was going on in my life. On Saturday, I wound up eating supper at my neighbor’s house instead of at home so I couldn’t watch a movie this time. On Sunday, I watched The Emperor’s New Groove. I replaced that with Catch Me if You Can. On Wednesday, I watched Despicable Me 3. I replaced that with Dumbo. I didn’t finish that movie until Thursday so I once again wasn’t able to see any of Thursday’s movies. This will more than likely change soon.

 

The first part has two men and a kid named Billy mining for gold. It isn’t that safe of an area as a body is found and the team is brought it. It is one body and two skulls. A person there has been missing for days. We switch to another crime scene where there are gnomes. Those fucking bastards. A woman thinks that people are reading her mind while a man lay dead. They think that he was killed in self defense. We also get a note that says, “Cull the rotten fruit.” As for the first murder victim, he and the ancient old skull might have been killed by the same weapon thousands of years apart from each other.

 

The second part has people talking about the cases at hand. Allie shows people the rare skull and both are amazed at it. I have the feeling that this will become an important plot point as that man and woman who were shown that were both very fixated on it and also having a bit of a tiff. Beau talks about always being a “lab rat” as he doesn’t want to work in the field and thinks that others think lowly of him as a result. Both Allie and Maxine want to figure out who sent the note to the woman, but they can’t seem to make sense of what she’s saying. More stuff happens.

 

The third part has the people trying to figure out what might be up with a potential career defining find in regards to the potential rare skull. As for the recurring case, they can’t figure out why some notes are typed and others handwritten. There are three things wrong with those who could identify these people: they are dead, in a mental hospital, or in jail. It seemed as first that Beau had a new lease on life when he became a field agent. But he seems to want this job in the lab more. As for the other case, they find the original crime scene, I believe. Also, Molly is the name of the person who thinks that her mind is being read.

 

The fourth part has Maxine talking to Molly after other stuff happened. I keep just watching this and forgetting that I have to blog about this too. And I get distracted by other things too. I really should have napped today, but just didn’t have the time for that. Supplies might be stolen somewhere out of the archeologist’s place. Allie is there with Serena. At least two suspects are interrogated.

 

The fifth part has a break in the case, or one of them, at least. It was that one man who they first talked to that seems the likely person responsible. And tests that were done on the crime scene proved this. He just wanted credit for what he did. The man that was killed by this archeology guy, Harrison, wasn’t someone he found worthy of making the discovery since he told his victim about this place where this old skull was found. After a montage of things that I can’t understand all of, we get to a link in the recurring case of the season.

 

A therapist named Diane has all of the evidence of the recurring crimes linking back to her, seeming to identify her as the big bad of the season. Um, who is she? I hope that she was mentioned well and clearly in this season so far, at least in my blog.

 

On the next CSI: Vegas, they try to find Diane, but lose her at least once, if not more often than that all the time. I can’t tell for sure what all might be going on. I want to nap, but it is after 10. I need to make sure that I shower and do some of the laundry before just doing to bed for real. And I don’t even know when I’m publishing this blog post yet. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 12

When The Golden Globes aired on a Tuesday this year, it made me think about the shows that I watch on Tuesdays. I was watching New Amsterdam until it ended. I had thought that I missed the ending of La Brea, but that it still on for a while, now in double timeslots, airing back to back episodes. It might be a bit of a surprise that it was renewed, but there’s likely not going to be any more beyond that. I would watch Night Court, but I am seeing too much on Tuesdays right now already.

 

What else am I watching? Well, I’m seeing 9-1-1: Lone Star on FOX, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International on CBS, and The Rookie, Will Trent, and The Rookie: Feds on ABC. What’s terrible is that once the CW brings back some shows that I like, I’ll have four things to watch in the same timeslot. What’s even worse is that I can watch four things all at once.

 

Since the last Science Rock song was about the skeletal system, it makes sense to share the song that helped inspire it that uses part of the song at some point. That song is called Dem Dry Bones.

The next song that they did in Science Rock was A Victim of Gravity. I’m sharing that now. It seems that I was prepared enough for some of these posts to not know what I was sharing once I eventually published them. I am now working on five different posts of this blog at once and will be starting a sixth soon as I work to publish this and the next three over the next three days for reasons that will be clear soon.

Going to the next dungeon in The Wind Waker and the sub-boss from it, we get to Mothula from Forbidden Woods. It seems a fairly easy enemy. It gets even easier to beat later in the game with other weapons, such as the one you get in this room.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra0uqCVvLoc

 

Since there are more songs to share from Trolls, the next one that I’m doing is the True Colors lyric video from Trolls. I haven’t shared any of their songs yet, so this will be the first one that I’m doing based on sharing the Celtic Woman version of this.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la0-5QFLr14

 

Speaking of Celtic Woman, their next song from Songs from the Heart is Galway Bay. I like it as it is a good Irish song and they are often criticized for not being Irish enough in the end. It is one of their most Irish songs that they have performed.

There were more Jimmy Fallon things to share and I’ve been gone from this blog too long. Not only that, but I would have had a long gap even without the hiatus since it had been so long since new episodes aired. This video that I’m sharing of him from his show relates to football raps.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAqk57AS3gM

 

I should warn you that this paragraph and a bit later are a bit political. I forget why I wanted to share it. This video explains Biden versus Trump in regards to covid deaths that have happened. In case anyone was thinking that Biden was worse because there have been more covid deaths since he took office, this video debunks that.

Football team ranking update: Anyways, when it comes to ranking the teams that are numbers 21-23 in the ranking, I had to wait until a New Year’s Day game was played in order to complete this ranking. The Giants are the lowest, having lost to both the Seahawks and the Jets. When the Seahawks and the Jets played, the Seahawks beat the Jets. This leaves the ranking as 21- Seahawks, 22- Jets, and 23- Giants.

 

Were any Nobel Peace Prize winners a US secretary of state? Yes. The following all were: Elihu Root, Frank Billings Kellogg, Cordell Hull, George Catlett Marshall Jr., and Henry Kissinger. Thank you, Wikipedia.

 

In the following old post from my Madam Secretary blog, I talk about being behind on what I have to watch on tape. To think, in 2020, I was once one roll away from taking that choice off of my list for a bit. Now, I have 8 tapes to watch and episodes of shows that have ended on it like 2 of Charmed, 1 of Dynasty, and 1 of Tom Swift. I have the feeling that I will see political commercials for the 2023 elections before I’m done with the tapes from before the 2022 elections.

 

WARNING! Political section

 

I also talk about doing bets. I bet my cousin over the 2020 presidential election and he has yet to pay up. He’s just proving to me that Republicans aren’t men of their words. I also did change my mind about wanting Pence as president. He’s such a boob. Also, who would Trump’s 2024 running mate be? I’m almost surprised he hasn’t said yet. I would think that he would pick Kristi Noem before anyone else. But we may never know for sure.

 

https://adamdeckermadamsecretaryblog.blogspot.com/2017/05/episode-from-3-5-2017.html

 

I’m going to forgo doing an acrostic poem again to do an election countdown to 1-3-2025. I will keep this section apolitical at times since a bunch of people from both parties are likely to leave office then. The only problem is a lot of them are running for another office so we won’t know if they’ll win that other office or not. Still, it would seem that Democratic Michigan senator Debbie Stabenow is the only senator or Congressperson who is not running for another office. I can mention more later as time goes on and mention the countdowns to 1-3-2027 and 1-3-2029 in the future. It is also know that Mike Braun is running for governor of Indiana so it is known that he won’t be taking a potential new office on 1-3-2025.

 

Still, I better get to how many days away that date will be from the time that you see this blog post. I posted the amount of time on facebook on 1-24-2023. I have also decided that I will include the countdown to when Jeff Landry is out of office in this blog only if he doesn’t win the office that he’s running for now. Anyways, as of the day that this episode aired, the date of 1-3-2025 is 701 days away.

 

End political section

 

Movie update: On Friday, I watched a home video. This could be the precursor to a new list, but I can’t start one until Tuesday’s list is dissolved. Meanwhile, my longer home videos can’t be watched again until I’m done watching the shorter home videos. On Saturday, I watched Finding Nemo and had to replace it with Finding Dory instead of something from Tuesday’s list. On Sunday, I watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I replaced that with The Emperor’s New Groove from Tuesday’s list. On Wednesday, I watched Bean: the Movie. I replaced that with Fireproof from Tuesday’s list. While I was still finishing that movie on Thursday, I still watched something from Thursday’s list: Mr. Bean’s Holiday. I replaced that with It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie.

 

On Saturday, I watched Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I replaced that with The National Parks. I won’t be able to finish moving Tuesday’s list around unless I either finish with an s choice on most of the lists or watch something from Sunday’s list. I was not able to see a choice from Sunday’s list this week due to other plans for lunch. I had the chance to see a movie from a scab list. I decided to do it even though I wound up rolling one of the choices that I wasn’t wanting to, Toy Story 4 from Thursday’s list. I wasn’t wanting to roll it since I’m watching it with Spanish subtitles. I only started it on Sunday. I continued it on Monday. I finished it then. I replaced it with Tower Heist. Here is Everything Great about Toy Story 4.

On Wednesday, I watched The Empire Strikes Back. I replaced that with Return of the Jedi. On Thursday, I watched none of Thursday’s movies as I was still finishing Star Wars. On Saturday, I watched Finding Dory. I replaced that with Downton Abbey: A New Era. On Sunday, I watched Liar Liar. I replaced that with the last thing that I could move from Tuesday’s old list: Stuart Little. Tuesday’s list is now dissolved. Yay! This means that I can add new lists now. I will when it works out.

 

On Wednesday, I watched The Return of the Jedi. I was still finishing that on Thursday so I was not able to see any of Thursday’s movies. I replaced that with The Force Awakens. I will not yet know when I will start a list on Friday, but plan to watch the two Celtic Woman Christmas concerts first on that day of the week.

 

The first part starts with two women hanging out. But a noise has to be investigated. Both of the women start coughing. One of them winds up in the hospital being read to by a third woman. This woman in the hospital wakes up. Catherine then takes a girl into this place. Is her daughter a kid again? She is pineapple years old. Maxine talks to Roxy some about an old case regarding an old case in Catherine’s tenure. This happened four years ago. The woman woke up and said that her sister’s death was not an accident. Catherine leaves this child with other members of the team.

 

People take out the exhumed body or something else that smells. Maybe now I should bring up that song that I hate about that smell. Maxine thinks that it isn’t coming from just her body. Was it chemicals used or murder? The crime scene is nearly four years old. Some people on the team talk to people about the coma one of them just went through. She thinks that her sister and herself were poisoned. Someone had broke into the salon. Catherine thinks that it isn’t too late to find the truth.

 

The second part has Catherine taking a child to see a crime scene. Why would you do that? Who do you think that you are: Temperance Brennan? That is her name, right? The one on Bones? The child is taken away, perhaps to be with The Mandalorian. There is a lot of formaldehyde. There are ingredients in shampoo that aren’t supposed to be there. Could it have been the brother in-law of Mimi who she thinks was there with him? Sasha is the person who died. He deals with a lot of pickleball. (Is that supposed to be two words?) He is an instructor of that.

 

Hannah is the name of the kid. Chris takes her away. There are different footprints that they found there. At least six were found. A woman is also interrogated about some of what went on that Saturday as those are busy days. A gay man is also there since I guess one is legally required to work at a hair salon. After all, that’s what Coby Archa does or used to. A woman of Asian descent is also talked to. This is a woman named Nikki, I believe. This is an addition to a man named Nick and Nicole as well. I think that the first woman is Nicole and the gay guy is Nick.

 

A black woman had cut off some of Nikki’s hair since she had an affair. We then get to a biracial man who also worked there at the time. After all of these interviews where I’m already guessing that multiple ones of them will be involved, we get to team seeing that a ventilation system was shut down meaning that the sisters were certain to be killed because of this.

 

The third part has people looking for the right shoes and some are ruled out for being the wrong size. It’s almost a curse to have this on tape as I can rewatch parts of this episode as much as I want to. William, Nikki, and Nicole are the wrong sizes. William is the son of Sasha. It is not a giant who has these shoes. Maybe it’s a jet? Wait. This is Vegas. Maybe it’s a raider. Ken (Sasha’s husband, the pickle ball guy), Heather (Sasha’s best friend, although I forget which woman that is), and Nick, who was fired, are the three main suspects who are left. Three suspects? Is this a classic Matlock episode two-parter? I wonder what continuity error will save the day.

 

The killer appears to be going bald. They have hair loss medication. Would you really want to spend money on that? Are you afraid that someone will mistake you as a Hollywood villain? What about a comedy person like Howie Mandel? Or a badass action star like Bruce Willis? Mimi gives her testimony and why she is convinced that it was Nick and it was a grey face person with a snout. If I had to guess, it probably was a mask that someone was wearing. And it probably wasn’t Nick. It wasn’t a dream like Maxine first thought as she found a photo of this person.

 

The fourth part has everything about the night she went into a coma adding up in the end. But is this really Ken? They might deal with forensic shadow puppets. Maybe that will be a show on Adult Swim. Or FX. Or Comedy Central. Or Netflix. The best bet right now would be Paramount+. I’ll write it if no one else will. A suspect is brought in, but let go due to current lack of evidence. What caused this grey man? There could be talons. Wasn’t Talon the protagonist of The Outpost? I was going to write a bit about that when I start blogging about Blood versus Water again.

 

Beau goes through a lot of what might be going on and is annoyed that Josh always has to get the last word. You know, when someone does that to me like on facebook, I tend to not give them what they want and don’t give them any response. Why prove them right? As long as it isn’t a shut the fuck up kind of thing, I’m going to be quiet if they either ask me to or insist that I need the last word. Anyways, a piece of plastic seems to be the key to this all.

 

The fifth part has Catherine talking some about taking a break from a while to be there for her daughter Lindsay and granddaughter Hannah. Lindsay is upset at Catherine, needless to say. Everything comes together with gum revealing that Heather is the killer. Basically, she was selling fake shampoo and pocketing the difference. She was likely going to be caught, but tried repeating the phrase that Ken killed your sister to Mimi. But it turns out that the team was able to catch her.

 

The episode ends with Catherine offering to take her family to Hawaii. Maybe there will be a spin-off there. I mean, CBS can’t let NCIS: Hawaii be their only show set and filmed there with NBC getting the benefits from Magnum P.I. in the future. I have no idea if ABC is making use of their former Lost set, first given to Off the Map and then to Last Resort.

 

On the next CSI: Vegas, there is a crime written on a card with a sick mind behind all of these stories. I wouldn’t call Anthony Zuiker’s mind sick. And it is far better that he writes crime shows than actually do this in reality. I don’t know what else there is to say this time so I’ll be back whenever with the next episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Hiatus

Well, it happened again. I have to put blogs of mine on hiatus once again. This time, this is one of the blogs. If you couldn’t tell already by the fact that this blog wasn’t posted on Thursday when it should have been, something serious went down in my life. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to bring you the regular blog post and was at one point going to do this one instead. That didn’t happen as I got really tired and couldn’t even do something briefly. If you want to know more about any hiatus of mine, then be sure to check out this blog post.

 

http://adamdeckercsicyber.blogspot.com/2022/12/tech-when-i-take-break-from-blogging.html

 

If bad things come in threes, then it seems to be the movie Return of the Jedi that had cursed things for a third time. I just happened to watch it right before things were closing again in November of 2020. I saw it in a special film score live on Friday the 13^th of May when my sister’s van was overheating before and afterwards. And now it just happened to be what I was watching when another issue was going on.

 

On the day this episode aired, I wound up putting the show on tape just in order to see it at all. It was a while before I could see it (I now have), but it could be even longer before I get to the as of yet unfinished blog post.

 

I don’t know how long I will be gone with this blog. I’m hoping that I will not be gone during any of Lent. In fact, I’ll probably publish posts of this blog right before Ash Wednesday and might go back to normal after that. Lent starts on February 22^nd this year. I hope that things will be better resolved then. I’ll tell you how for sure this might be more affected later in this blog. For now, sorry about the wait as this could be a while or not long at all before I’m back to normal posting. It’s dumb because the show was on a break for so long so of course it comes back when weird things happen.
