One of the things that I’m
wondering about is when Elementary will return. I don’t know if this show will
go on hiatus for a bit to make room for its return or not. It did that with
what became the final season of The Mentalist. (Actually, it was a different
show that went on hiatus while this show left to make room for Undercover
Boss.) I just hope that Elementary is treated better than the final season of
Person of Interest was. I know that different midseason offerings are the
celebrity version of Big Brother, some new shows, and some of the same
returning shows. Last season, they gave the new midseason shows preference over
the returning shows, but then the new ones were cancelled in some way and the
old ones took their place.
I’m not sure that I have time
to do all that I would normally do in a post like this. I’ve decided to wait
until the next post to give you an update as to who is doing better in
football: the Rams or the Chargers. I should update myself onto what the World
Series might be like. But I should get to the political part of this post
before tuning into sports for the day.
What is my political thing?
Well, there is a Republican running for governor of a state (I can’t remember
which one offhand) who wanted to give out bump stocks at a campaign event. This
is after the Las Vegas shooting where the person used these to help kill over
50 people. Why do people vote for a party that even does such things? If you
know who I’m talking about, don’t vote for them.
I tune into my primary CBS
affiliate and they are airing a game of the Bengals versus the Steelers. The
Steelers are winning, which is good since they are one of the teams that I root
for and the Bengals are not (not that I don’t like them, I just don’t have a
reason to root for them). I think that the team from Cincinnati is the Bengals.
It is still the third quarter. FOX is not airing football today. I check my
other CBS affiliate and they are showing the same game.
At six, I switch to The Toy
Box. I’ll check up on the game when I can. It is a doubleheader today, but you
shouldn’t have to worry about delays in when things are posted since I have the
sense now to put it on its own special tape like I do with Survivor during Lent
and Advent (in addition to other times). Since I know that my laptop is working
now, I can put the show on it, but I’m not going to do that when it is delayed
as I can’t do posts the way I like to that way.
I tune into the end of the
game to see the final score. Long story short: the Steelers won. It looks like
the shows will be a bit later than the planned half hour delay. Also, how
pissed off would a lot of those who wanted to watch Star Trek: Discovery, put
it on their DVR, and didn’t get the whole episode would be since strange delays
happened? I check the channel and they started 60 Minutes. I will get into the
show as soon as I can.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by 34 minute delay. We begin with Elizabeth doing yoga. She gets mad at the
person for some reason. She switches to the news, only she gets mad at that
too. Henry talks about the problems with Dmitri. Elizabeth and Nadine talk in
an elevator. If they wanted to be cool, they shut the elevator off. They also
talk about Daisy’s upcoming baby shower. We then learn more of the crisis that
is going on in some country. This happens every episode or just about.
Stevie sits in a meeting where
a person tells her the benefit of her being there where no one will think that
she’s important. Henry then talks more about Dmitri and that crisis. Elizabeth’s
team hangs out more. Nadine gets a message from her son that she will be a
grandmother and they need a favor. We then get to the camp as Elizabeth tries
to figure out the problem that I don’t fully understand right now. The person
complains about the politics of everything. Conrad tries to work out a deal
with the evil senator to prevent a shutdown. I need to learn the name of this character I called the evil senator.
In segment two, it turns out
that Dmitri is missing. I forget who this woman is in relation to Dmitri. Is
this a sister or girlfriend? Whatever the main international problem is, it is
happening in Lebanon. What happened between Nadine and her son Roman? I don’t
remember anything if they mentioned it before. Daisy fears that her pregnancy may
cause discrimination against her. Roman and his girlfriend are stuck
internationally and need to get out before the potential shutdown of the
government. The lights need to be turned on in the Lebanon refugee camp. Nadine
is emotionally distraught trying to get help for Roman. Henry and the one woman
look for Dmitri.
In segment three, it seems
that they are looking for Dmitri and find him at some motel. He claims that he
is clean now, but Henry has to make sure. Also, it is his sister that was with
him, I think. Elizabeth wants solar power to settle the refugee camp. That was
a short segment, it seems.
In segment four, Nadine talks
more to her son and his girlfriend. She was able to get her off the no fly
list. I bet that if she were still on it, she could still legally buy guns in
this country. We get to Daisy’s baby shower and people try to solve the crisis.
For some reason, Israel is not a good solution to this crisis for some odd
reason. We also get the wrap up to Dmitri’s story for now. Elizabeth does what
she can do to solve the crisis at the refugee camp. It seems that the shutdown
is still looming and Conrad issues an ultimatum of some sort that I don't fully understand.
In segment five, Stevie talks
about why Conrad is doing what he is doing. Russell wants her to come to a place
with everyone since she is still on the clock. It is around this time that I
was able to start watching so I’ll let my past self take over now.
It
is at this point around the 10:23 mark that I start watching. The president is
talking with a group of army or other military people. Russell quizzes Stevie
about what all has happened. An important clock has just run out. Things will
get ugly in the future. We then get to Elizabeth who talks about some of the
situation from earlier. She talks to Nadine. There is a government shutdown for
some reason.
Nadine
is going to be a grandmother. She wants a leave, but may be retiring. Why is
this character leaving? Who will replace her then? Or is this just a façade of
some sort? I guess that I’ll find out in later episodes. Why do these random
things happen? What’s with these character departures from all these shows at
once? Elizabeth makes a speech to these people about the shutdown and gives
them motivation. Power returns to what seems like a random place that has to be
important in some way. I guess that we’ll find out more about what happens
later.
On
the next Madam Secretary, there is a case of Ebola. Will it be placed higher
than the government shutdown? Whatever happens, I’ll find out more when I see
this episode later in its entirety. Sorry if the end of these posts don’t make
sense whenever there is tape delay. But I’ll be back with the next episode next
week. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
