Starting from today, since it
is the beginning of Advent, I will be watching various Christmas specials and
movies throughout December. It’s possible that I will not be able to finish
them before December ends. We’ll see what happens with that or not and if there
are unwatched Christmas specials, I’ll be sure to post about them as it would
affect my TV watching on DVDs and other methods.
It appears that this season
they are making Russia a villain type country in this show. (What’s that? I’m
actually talking about the show before blogging about the actual episode? Will
the world end? No, it won’t. Now if the Cubs win the World Series, then we know
that the world will certainly end. Either that, or hell freezes over. I forget
which one it is, so it might not actually be the first one. I’m strange, aren’t
I?) Anyways, considering all the countries that they could be turning into
villain countries, Russia is probably a better choice than others would be. I
mean, they would be believable villains to us, but it wouldn’t be troublesome
like making a Middle Eastern country would be.
Today might be highly unusual
due to a great PBS special that could interfere with all of my shows. I’m not
sure about ideal times when this will be on or not. But the special is basically
a new concert by my all time favorite musical group Celtic Woman. Ideally, I
would watch shows live and record Celtic Woman for later so I can watch it as
often as I want to until I either have to delete it (if on my laptop) or until
I have a copy of this new concert. However, watching it live would have its
perks as well. I’m unsure of future airtimes that would work better than today.
I’m not sure if I can risk missing it for potentially getting a better airtime.
But I’ll give up today’s FOX shows in a heartbeat to see this new special.
Heck, I’d probably give up Once Upon a Time as well. I just hope that they
aren’t at the midseason finale of that show yet. Why do shows have midseason
finales anyways? That’s so stupid. Just air the show all year round, okay?
I still don’t know how I’ll be
watching the Celtic Woman special. I will probably watch it all live. I could
put it on my laptop, but that would put yet another episode of this show on
VHS. Meanwhile, if I record on VHS, I might watch the first hour live and see
the rest on VHS when I can catch up on it. I still don’t know if I’ll start out
watching live and switch to recording it later. I’m not sure if I like playing
this by ear or not. I also know that I would like a recording of it even if it
is temporary. If the recording is on VHS, it might be something that I’d only
watch once even if I keep the tape separately where it won’t be reused. I have
their Emerald concert on a tape that I haven’t reused as of yet but I haven’t
watched the concert again as of yet either. Hopefully I'll get the DVD at some point.
Before Celtic Woman starts, I
get distracted by a performance by Alabama. I never heard of them before and
PBS may have gotten me into another great musical group. But Celtic Woman
remains the one I’m most obsessed with. Like that one fiddler whose name I
can’t spell (but probably remember) whose CDs I’ve never bought and
performances I’ve never bought either. I liked Australian Pink Floyd, even if
they are very strange at times. Their strangeness is what has prevented me from
getting a CD from either them or the real Pink Floyd. While they are good at
songs, I’d basically only be getting it for Comfortably Numb, a song that they
did. That is also the reason why I never got a Queen CD for Bohemian Rhapsody
or a David Archuletta Christmas CD for his version of Pat a Pan.
I’m waiting for a pledge break
to make sure I can see what else is on and if things are coming in. It
basically happens as I type this sentence. I check to see what it on FOX and by
the looks of it, they are not airing football or any other sports. They
apparently were airing something which cut off their reruns. Yet another
doubleheader happens today as they air a game of Pittsburg against Seattle. I
think that the team from Seattle is the Seahawks. I’m not sure if they are the
only team from Seattle. Pittsburg is winning the game. I’m getting less and
less certain that I will be able start the planned CSI: Cyber blog of mind in
the near future. These stupid delays are preventing the rule of what the new
post would be: an episode not delayed in either region. Both of my CBS
affiliates are airing the same game.
This tape delay could
potentially help my situation out. This will mean that the absolute soonest
that this show will start at is 7:30. But, by the looks of the game, I can
already tell that they will probably last beyond the scheduled end. I just
wonder if there’ll ever be a delay long enough to prevent the planned airing of
a CSI: Cyber episode, which would also have been the criteria for creating this
blog. It’s weird that they keep airing new episodes after a delay of over fifty
minutes. They probably don’t care about this show. But its time slot is already
indicative of that.
I doubt that I will be able to
keep up with any of this game at all. I’ll give you an occasional update until
60 Minutes starts. Hopefully there will be a big enough difference between the
points scored in the game that the losing team won’t be able to turn it around.
Not that it would be bad if they did. I’d just have to find other ways of finding
the score out.
I might have to get an Alabama
CD. It’s too bad that I already sent out my wish list for this year. Well, I
wouldn’t have had room for it anyways on my list, since I limit it in certain
places. I’m saying this because they are doing a wonderful song that I love a
lot.
The score on the football game
has changed when I check the score again. While Pittsburg is still winning,
they are just barely winning now. The score could easily change. Meanwhile, I
don’t know the name of this team. I tend to not know the names of sports teams
if you haven’t figured that out by now. Sorry about that.
For anyone who is interested
in the set list from Celtic Woman: Destiny, here’s what it is for part 1 of the
PBS performance: When You Go (Mairead Nesbitt, Susan, Eabha, and Mairead
Carlin), Siuil A Run (Mairead Nesbitt, Susan, Eabha, and Mairead Carlin), Ride
On (Mairead Nesbitt, Eabha, and Mairead Carlin), and song name unseen by me
(Mairead Nesbitt). Seattle is now winning the game on CBS.
Celtic Woman: Destiny set list
for part 2: You Raise Me Up (Mairead Nesbitt, Eabha, Susan, and Mairead
Carlin), Si Do Mhaimeo i (Mairead Nesbitt featuring original member Meav), How
Can I Keep from Singing (Eabha), Hills of Ireland (Mairead Nesbitt), and My
Land (Eabha, Susan, and Mairead Carlin). The game is still on CBS and Seattle
is still winning.
Celtic Woman: Destiny set list
for part 3: I See Fire (Mairead Carlin), Isle of Inisfree (featuring guest
member Rebecca), song name unseen by me (Mairead Carlin, Eabha, Susan, and
Mairead Nesbitt), Sometimes a Prayer will do (Susan), and Amazing Grace
(Mairead Carlin, Eabha, and Susan). I am missing Once Upon a Time this week.
Hopefully this episode isn’t the midseason finale. 60 Minutes has started, but
I don’t know the delay. I’m guessing that Seattle won the game on CBS.
Hopefully I won’t miss any of this show due to Celtic Woman and the delay.
Celtic Woman: Destiny set list
for part 4: Oro Se Do Bheatha Bhaile (Mairead Nesbitt, Eabha, Susan, Mairead
Carlin, and featuring Meav), Like an Angel Passing Through My Room (Mairead
Carlin), Walk Beside Me (Mairead Carlin, Susan, Eabha, and Mairead Nesbitt), and
Westering Home (Mairead Nesbitt, Susan, Eabha, Mairead Carlin, and featuring
both Rebecca and Meav). I finally figure out the delay caused by the game when
an eye alert finally airs. For once, it is what I want it to be. I think that
CSI: Cyber might get preempted for the first time this season.
I stay with Celtic Woman until
it finally finishes airing. I am glad that it affected nothing other than the
Once Upon a Time episode I was going to watch. By the looks of it, FOX was
airing The Simpsons followed by a Christmas special in the Ice Age franchise. I
don’t know if The Simpsons episode was new, but it might not have been new
shows tonight on that network. Also, there were no songs on the Celtic Woman
special after the last pledge break. They just did the credits.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by 61 minute delay. We begin with a blackout happening in Moscow. They
blame the US president for this and he was probably responsible for it in some
way. Elizabeth tells a joke to her family that they all know. Jason has to play
in a football game. Russia is talking about a cyber attack that I don’t think
I’m familiar with as of the original watching of this episode. Of course, when
I get caught up on old episodes, I’ll be able to figure out what happened. The
main problem with that is that I might have already blogged about that episode.
The blackout was caused by the US looking for information into Russia, but they
were unable to find information into the hack of Air Force One. Does that mean
that they weren’t responsible for it or that information about it doesn’t
exist?
In segment two, Elizabeth
works on finding a solution to the problem that they have with the Russians.
She wants to tell people about the hack of Air Force One instead of continuing
the lie of solar flares. Her husband says that Russia might not have actually
been behind the attack after all. Meanwhile, I should tell you now that I am
live blogging this show for the possibly first time. All the evidence they have
against Russia planning the hack of Air Force One could be fake. But then, who
did it and why?
In segment three, Elizabeth
talks to some of her advisors about her concerns that someone else is behind
the Air Force One hack. This is something that could get both her and her
husband in trouble. A suspect other than Russia could be China. But is that the
best alternative? Elizabeth talks to a Chinese person about it. He points out
that it would not make sense for them to do this. Now just because it doesn’t
make any sense doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t happen. Look at the assassination
of William McKinley. What was his assassin trying to accomplish?
In segment four, there’s some
foreign country problem that’s a subplot in some way. It’s hard to make sense
of it thus far. There might be a new theory as to what is going on with a new
man that could be a suspect. Jason is not doing as much as he could be in the
football game. The Ukrainians might have done something with Air Force One. A
crashed airplane might have been a cover-up relating to the problem. I wondered
if it might be Ukraine that was responsible. I should have mentioned that sooner.
Are the Ukrainians trying to pit the US and Russia against each other? The
foreign nation, I think, was Vietnam. Also, what is polonium? I never heard of
that before. Bozak (or however you spell his name) is responsible for the
attack. Also, I’m glad that I don’t have to count more Christmas commercials
except for the ones that I will retroactively add since they are on tapes.
In segment five, the president
talks to a Ukraine official about what he did. They are not going to reveal this
publically. And they make sure that he doesn’t talk about this to people.
Elizabeth talks to Henry about the risks that they took regarding all this.
Russia violates the no fly zone, ending the episode. There are no scenes for
next episode. I’m not entirely sure when that will be. I know that some shows
will be taking breaks soon. I don’t know when this is back. I need to figure
out the midseason schedule for various CBS shows. Hopefully I can find that
soon. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
