This episode is the season
finale. I’ll find out more about where and when it will be in the schedule in
the near future. I also won’t know for sure when this blog will be updated next
season. But you don’t have to worry about too much with this blog. I’ll also do
updates during the summer that are politically related in a way. I’ll get to
the when of things at the end of this post.
A lot of things will be
happening to Eric Greitens while this show is on hiatus. Maybe he’ll stay in
office despite the scandals against him. They did drop some of the charges against
him, but can apparently refill it? What? We’ll see whether or not he stays in
office. But I can’t make sense of all of it. What I do know after doing some
research is that Bruce Rauner, Illinois’s governor, was an ally to him at one
point. Only Bruce wants Eric to resign. Of course, Bruce may only want to cut
ties because he would suffer from further association with Eric.
Voter remorse is something
that I think should happen more often. I want to hear someone say that they
voted for someone that they shouldn’t have. To do otherwise would be like
staying on the sinking Titanic and saying that it is a great ship still. That’s
what I want to hear from people who voted for Trump. I want them to admit to
their mistake and own it. Just like how I never should have voted for Bruce.
Both are terrible people. Well, Bruce might be a nice person, but he's a terrible leader.
You still don’t know what the
second mystery choice was that was added to the list of other choices that I
watch from. I tell the readers of my Good Wife blog about one of the choices
for now. Well, I finished watching mystery choice #2 and will replace it with
mystery choice #3. As usual, you’ll have to read my Good Wife to know what was
gone and is replaced by now. But the point is now that Survivor: Borneo is
number 5 of what to be rolled from.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with Elizabeth, Henry, and the rest of their family
doing some DC sightseeing for the first time. Stevie cares about other things
instead of the trip because of waiting for news from Russell. All of the kids
are being phone addicts. I don’t understand why Stevie would be one as an
adult. Then again, my mother is more addicted to her phone than I am. Still,
why feel the need to insult millennials every chance you get? They are part of
the 18-34 demographics that you need.
We see a lot of various people
in the main cast doing different things. Conrad and Russell are on the golf
course. Elizabeth and Henry have more of a good time at a family fun place then
the people that it seems to be designed for. Cat and Blake talk some. We then
see a person with the president who sees a problem with the nukes. The Russian
deaths in Aleppo seem to be something they are retaliating for. Every sign
shows that they could be under attack. But it could be clouds they are seeing
and not missiles. Look it up. Jay and Matt are at a tennis court and Jay leaves
upon getting an alert. Conrad needs to decide whether or not to strike back at
Russia. Cue commercial.
In segment two, we go back to
earlier in the day. I saw seemingly random people of some sort. This seems to
be the general guy person from earlier, whoever that is. There are tons of
reports about the possible strike. You know, if America were ever attacked, we
might not have any idea who did it at first. There are tons of possibilities.
The divorce is brought up and Conrad has to reenter the code with a new person
as the other was relieved of command. This is tense. People are inserting
launch keys. Elizabeth is pulled out and hears of the potential attack. She
goes back in with her family. What will happen next? And are things really as
they seem?
In segment three, we go back
to earlier again. Is this like Vantage Point? I like that movie, even if it was
a bit confusing. A person comes in to abort the launch. The McCords are worried
before they get the all clear option. Elizabeth freaks out over everything.
What happened? It was a simulation that had ended up mistaken the order for
what the real thing was.
I wonder if the Hawaii missile
threat inspired this. Elizabeth wants to change the way things are done. Will
things be more rational in the future? Russell takes the side of Elizabeth.
It’s a good thing that this fake out that happened was under President Carter
because tons of people after him would have made the mistake and gone through
with it. There is no way that this would end well under Trump. There is a
reason that the bible says “Blessed are the peacekeepers.”
In segment four, I still don’t
know what Stevie is upset about. Who is getting married? Elizabeth and Henry
talk about what they know that the others don’t. Conrad goes to their house. He
tries to explain why he thinks that the Russians would have attacked us. Things
that don’t make sense is what drove his decision to strike back. He wants to
make a decision that could lead to peace between Russia and them. Matt thinks
that there is a special list and that Jay is on it. But Jay probably doesn’t want
to be on this supposed list.
Elizabeth has made it all the
way to the Cayman Islands to talk to a Russian diplomat. I’m glad that this
show is trying to make us working with the Russians a good thing. Dealerting is
the idea that Elizabeth wants to give to the Russians. She makes it back to the
US rather quickly.
What is the friend card? Do
you know what it is? Only a general who is different than the one from earlier
thinks that it is a bad idea. Alison worries too much about people who read
blogs of hers. I’d like to read a supposed blog by a made up character. Well,
if I had time for it, that is. One by Kathrine
Herzer and her experiences on the
show would be nice too. I don’t care much about who reads what blogs of mine.
Elizabeth wants to publicize all the false alarms to the public.
In segment five, Conrad is
ready to address the people. He is open about the crisis that had happened. We
then switch to a month later. This does lead to a new treaty. But what were the
protests about? Were they related in any way to what happened? Or do they
relate to other important things that had happened in the last month that we
didn’t see? I can’t keep track that much of Daisy’s dog and plot of this
episode. What did Blake mean when he said that he wanted more? Things then go
back to how they normally were at the start of this episode. Elizabeth is
reminded of civic duty. At least a historic thing is done. She wants to run for
president in the future. Of course she does.
That’s it for this season. I’m pretty sure that this show
will be on at the same time next season during the fall as usual. It is hard to
tell for sure since I haven’t been able to look up the information that I want
to. At least I have an alternate place or to. Why would I suddenly not be able
to access a website? Does anyone know if www.tvseriesfinale.com
is still a website? I can’t access it if it is.
If you come here off of the
link that I post on facebook, know that when I do the political posts this
summer, you won’t be seeing links to them on facebook. For all intents and
purposes, the only things that I share on facebook are about episodes of this
blog. When will you see political posts? Well, you should see them on Tuesdays,
but be on the lookout for other days. You could see them on Saturdays or other
days entirely. It all depends on what happens. There will be at least one of
them a month. And I will post about any usual changes with them if and when
they happen.
While I want to do follow-up
posts regarding the Iowa primaries in June and the Missouri and Wisconsin ones
in August, you may not see them in this blog. I may put them in the Elementary
blog under the spoiler tag sections and will do that for at least Iowa’s
primary for governor. I don’t know if that show will still be airing as late as
August. The only other possible place to put them would be my Survivor blog
which will only happen if I’m blogging about Survivor: Gabon, Survivor: Blood
versus Water, or another old season on Sundays or some other day entirely.
Those, too, would be in spoiler posts. Since I’m talking about political
things, enjoy this election calendar for events that I care about and maybe you
should too.

I’m not sure what else there
is to say in this post as I close out the normal posts for the summer. A lot
will happen in this summer politically. I don’t know how much of it will be
worth keeping track of. You should see the regular posts appear the Tuesday
after the new episode aired, but things could change in the future. Keep an eye
out for various things and this blog should be normal in the future. Things
could change a lot with me subject to rolling Survivor on random days. If I
currently roll it on a Saturday, you will see either a political post of this
blog or a post of some sort of my CSI: Cyber blog. I’ll see you a long time in
the future. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
