I had a very busy weekend and
am glad that I made it in time to see the schedule on shows. There might have
been sports related programming on both FOX and CBS but both ended before they
could cause any delays. There might have even been times when sports footage
has switched broadcasting from one network to another. You wouldn’t think that
such a thing is common as it would probably piss off people who don’t have the
network they are moving the broadcast to.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. Someone is under house arrest as I try to make things work
having cutting things really close setting up the recording of this and other
shows. Also, my computer is running out of room for things on it. I record
things for another person but this person doesn’t have the sense to watch it
for some dumb reason. There is not infinite room on my laptop.
In segment one, we learn more
about the coup that is happening. I’m not familiar with the word or term coup
considering how it is pronounced like coo. Also, Matt and Daisy are still
together which serves the mostly meaningless subplot that seems poorly
developed to me. I’m glad that they are giving side characters stories, but
this one seems so random and pointless. You’d want it to go somewhere, right?
As usual, is it hard to summarize what happens in the first act.
In segment two, Elizabeth
decides that the best way to prevent the coup in Iran is to go there herself to
mediate things. She’s concerned that she will not come back. This leads to a
humorous scene involving her giving her husband permission to remarry. Of
course, since the show is about her, a Madam Secretary, then it seems unlikely
that she’ll die. Something bad could happen to her, just not death. I hope that
nothing bad happens, but we’ll see.
In segment three, we see more
of what’s happening in Iran. The situation seems to be going well at first, but
then it gets out of hand right before the commercial break. There is an
explosion and shots are fired. The Iranian official that Elizabeth was meeting
with gets shot. Is he the one that will die? For the moment, it looks like a
main character won’t die.
In segment four, not much
happens. What we do know is that the Secretary of State is missing. Is that
even possible in this day and age? You wouldn’t think that it would happen
nowadays, but it might. It just seems highly unlikely.
In segment five, Alison’s
birthday gets more somber. But there is a silly string attack to take people’s
minds off of the situation at hand. Elizabeth is alive and well. The prime
minister, as expected, is dead. Word that Elizabeth isn’t hurt reaches back to
the states which makes her family actually feel good. The president reports to
the country about what is happening. A random suicide and note to Elizabeth is
how the episode ends.
On the next Madam Secretary, Elizabeth
is under trauma based on what happened in this episode. There’s probably more
to what will happen, but that’s pretty much all the first promo is talking
about. Guess I’ll have to look forward to it. For now, this is Adam Decker,
signing off.
