Let’s go more into the updates
of football post season. The Rams beat the Saints and are in the Super Bowl. As
for the other team, the Patriots beat the Chiefs and are also in the Super
Bowl. These are the same two teams that played in the 2002 Super Bowl. Know
that I hate the Patriots and am pretty sure that every time they win a game, a
baby cries.
Before I get any further, know
that I have not given myself enough time to write this post so I might just have
to put a lot of what I want to in the next regular post instead of this one. I
was busy and sick this past weekend. But let’s get to the rest of this post if
I can.
After Bruce Rauner enlisted
the help of Eric Grietens, Scott Walker, and Eric Holcomb to try to blame all
of his problems on someone else, I wondered what would be a good name to call
these four people. Well, I’m dubbing them the four horsemen. It might not be an
accurate way of describing them. But it does seem that they want to wreck havoc.
Unlike the actual four horsemen, instead of bringing about the end of the world
as we know it, they only brought forth their own end.
Eric Grietens left first after
many scandals were brought forward and he resigned within hours of a judge
declaring his dark money ties fair game to investigate. Scott Walker lost
reelection after a long time in such big power and is out of office now. Bruce
Rauner, more unpopular than Trump somehow, was out of office just a week later,
having also lost reelection. This leaves Eric Holcomb as the only person to be
concerned about his political future.
I should update you again on
when certain governors started their time in office since there are now new
ones added to the mix. Matt Bevin of Kentucky started on December 8, 2015. Eric
Holcomb of Indiana started on January 9, 2017. Kim Reynolds of Iowa started on
May 24, 2017. Mike Parsons of Missouri started on June 1, 2018. Tony Evers of Wisconsin
started on January 7, 2019. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois started on January 14,
2019.
By now, you should know that
the government shutdown is over. That’s awesome, actually. I don’t know why it
took this long. Well, apparently there were issues at airports due to lots of
people not showing up to work and there were too many issues because of it. It
took too long. And, making this as ridiculous as the whole thing ever was in
the first place, this was the same deal that he could have had before there
even was a government shutdown. This “master dealer” known as Trump basically
refused to even let the slightest form of compromise happen unless he got what
he wanted, which, needless to say, is not how compromise works.

Now going back to the movie
watching that I’ve been doing, I have multiple updates about it to tell you
about. For the first time ever, I’m now at five movie lists. I now have a
Tuesday list of movies to watch that were added to my list in this order: The
Great Race, True to the Game, Back to the Future, The Fugitive, The Land before
Time, and Rogue One.
Now starting back when it was
Monday two weeks ago, I watched Rush Hour and replaced it with Rush Hour 2.
True to the Game was then watched and replaced by Taken. There’s actually a bit
of a story behind why I own True to the Game. I would have at one point wanted
to rent it, but I couldn’t so I bought it as it was Nelsen Ellis’s last movie.
I wrote a review about it for my Elementary blog since he was in the cast of
that show. I made some mistakes with the review as I thought that Nelsen played
the main character instead of a side one that wasn’t as important. Also, the
main character is Quad and not King as mentioned in the blog. Still, enjoy the
review.
On
Friday, January 18, 2019, I finally got to see the next Survivor: Borneo
episode called Crack in the Alliance. Considering how Rich’s butt crack was
featured in the previous episode, it is a bit odd that we are only now getting
to an episode named after a crack. Since I have to update my TV blog at least
once a month and I now have to roll an episode to do so, I’ll have to go to
extreme lengths in order to make sure that I can always see at least one
episode of this show a month when I don’t have cheats to use to update the blog
on its own. I’m glad that the roll worked. But you might see me randomly not
rolling for movies in order to see an episode of this show during time normally
spent on that instead of on this. Hopefully, this isn’t too confusing to you.
More movie update: The
Emperor’s New Groove was watched and replaced by Blast from the Past. No movie
from a list was watched on Saturday. The Bourne Legacy was watched and replaced
by The Best Years of our Lives. No movie from a list was watched on Monday.
Back to the Future was watched and replaced by Back to the Future Part 2. No
movie was watched on Friday as I was at a film score live event and correctly
thought that I wouldn’t have time for one. No movie was watched on Saturday. Hancock
was watched and not yet replaced as I haven’t finished watching it yet. I will
tell you about more about that later in the next post.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with a bomb that went off internationally that might
have been supplied by the US, but Elizabeth’s team has to make sure of this
first. Russell is met by a protestor outside the White House and people film
what is going on. Don’t piss him off. Haven’t you seen what his character did
in The Bourne Legacy? Russell goes on a rant when he arrives at the White House
and people explain more of what happens.
There are potential issues
with Russia, Israel, and Syria because of all this. Stevie shows the footage
that was filmed of Russell to him. He gets a phone call from someone and yells
that he doesn’t have an anger management problem. It’s like how I like to prove
that I’m calm by yelling, “I AM CALM!” Alison is having issues with the
internet and needs to put a paper online right away. I can’t make sense of some
of what is going on, but I think that the main issue is with Russia as usual.
People are shown footage of a
plane that was Syrian that took off from Russia with a cluster bomb from the
US. This is highly complicated. Yet I have the feeling that a lot of
international politics is or could be. Elizabeth seeks to find some sort of
solution to the problem.
In segment two, Elizabeth
talks with someone who isn’t sure that the footage is conclusive. It is a
person from Syria that she is talking to. Conrad’s BFF helped make the bomb,
according to Henry. There is more revealed about the internet problems as Jason
was doing things with cybo currency. He explains some of what he has done. But
he might be able to fix it. Stevie wants to fix the problems that Russell is
having that he is getting more irritated by. Henry thinks that a knock-off was
used, but that official plans of the bomb might have revealed what had
happened. The issue might actually be friendly fire.
In segment three, Elizabeth
talks between different diplomats. A plane that was shot down had killed
Russian soldiers. Henry thinks that this was gross negligence. Russell thinks
that people want to taunt the president and the secretary of state. Who even is
the secretary of state in reality? I lost track. Some of the people in
Elizabeth’s team realize that they are going back to the drawing board.
Stevie tries to defuse the
situation with the strange woman from earlier who had gone after Russell and
she seems irritated at first only to calm down when she gets a book in her
hand. Books are not always a way to calm down. But I guess they can be. Jason
gets into more trouble with his crypto currency. We then get a phone call from
Russell to Elizabeth and she has to figure out a problem right away.
In segment four, there is a
navy presence that Elizabeth and her team needs to get to stand down. We then
get to Henry talking to Russell again about various things that are going on.
Elizabeth then brings back the two people from the previous segment about what
happened with Russia and Israel. It seemed that Syria caused the death of
children and Israel caused the destruction of a Russian airplane.
In segment five, Henry talks
to Conrad about doing a ban on cluster bombs. Henry then talks about some of
what he doesn’t want to do with his role in office. I think that this relates
to what had happened in the previous episode with the suspicious people that I
can’t quite remember as well. Elizabeth then talks about wanting others to sign
a ban on cluster bombs. Why not get rid of nuclear weapons while we are at it?
Seriously. We should get rid of them, but I know that won’t ever happen. Cat
talks about some sort of issue relating to people who lost people due to one of
the attacks in this episode.
Stevie shows that Maggie, the
protestor, is still having issues despite whatever had possibly worked at an
earlier point. Russell talks to this person one on one. So maybe some sort of
issues are resolved? We then get to Jason talking about the failure of his
currency after the crisis died down. But he does have a job now that he can use
to pay his parents back and briefly talks about another currency that could be
used to fix problems, but it seems unlikely that it would work and his parents
leave upon hearing more about what it is. There are no scenes from next time so
we’ll see what happens or if there’ll even be a new episode next month. For
now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
