Another Maundy Thursday has
come and gone. As expected, the networks continued to air episodes of shows
that were new then. Thus, I missed episodes of Gotham, The Orville, The Big
Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Law and Order: SVU, Grey’s
Anatomy, Station 19, For the People, and S.W.A.T. I was busy on Easter and
barely had any time to write any of this post and I have a lot to say before
talking about this episode in question.
You might have noticed that I
haven’t been updating you on any changes to the TV shows on DVD that I watch.
Well, I’ve been more or less stuck with the same six choices for longer than I
think I’ve ever been stuck with any six choices before. If I finish watching
Survivor: Borneo, I get to replace it with Survivor: Gabon. If I finish
watching anything else, I get to replace it with The Walking Dead and finally
do a review of that show for my blog on The Good Wife. The six shows on DVD
that I’m watching are Charmed season 4, Farscape season 4, Moonlight: The
Complete Series, NCIS season 3, Survivor: Borneo, and shows that I have
recorded on tape.
Ita sicut multi, non videtur intelligere quid esse pauper
et paupertas in opera. Wes Moore scribit magnus articulus in tempus hac in
February V, MMXVIII in infinitum et articulum, quod appellatur "Americae
est Passibilitatem". Sunt igitur plures habentur mythi relate de illis
simile, quod 'homines per paupertas aliqua merentur, "aut" populos in
tantum ut paupertas 'adepto a officium, "ut scribit in scriptoris paginam
36. sequitur, ut de re publica altera pagina" nemo dignus is est
paupertatem vereatur. "ego iustus adepto cur populus non faciunt pauper,
et dives est in loco putat auxiliari dare tributum confractus est bonum idea.
I realize that I need to
update you on what I call my tier two group of football teams that I root for.
I had checked the scores of old games that they played last season versus games
they played this season. Let’s get to it. The Texans beat the Dolphins and the Dolphins
lost to the Jaguars. This makes the point system as Texans: 1 out of 2, Jaguars
are 2 out of 3, Buccaneers are 2 out of 2, and Dolphins are 0 out of 3. This
makes the ranking as Buccaneers, Jaguars, Texans, and Dolphins.
While I could talk about possible
shows that could replace this blog, I’m not sure that I need to right now at
this moment. I did dream about having a blog about the new show Whisky
Cavalier. I haven’t seen that show and am not sure that I ever will. I mean,
that’s a stupid name for a show, right? How many shows do people watch that
have stupid names? Know that Bob’s Burgers is still next in line. I don’t yet
know if I’ll watch this ABC show and blog about it or not. It will depend on
what works in my schedule with all the other shows I care about.
This will be the last movie
update until it goes back to my Elementary blog. Since I had no time to watch
anything since the last update, I’ll tell you what the five lists are for now.
Sunday’s list is Bambi, Celtic Woman’s original concert, Ghost Town, The Little
Mermaid, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and Pleasantville. Saturday’s
list is Absolute Power, Finding Dory, The Lion King, North by Northwest, Rat
Race, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Friday’s list is Avatar, my
high school graduation DVD, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Lilo and Stitch,
Pocahontas, and That Darn Cat. Monday’s list is Bend it Like Beckham,
Despicable Me 3, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Liar Liar, Mr. Bean’s Holiday,
and Toy Story 3. Tuesday’s list is Aladdin, Catch Me if You Can, Invictus,
National Treasure, Raising Arizona, and Spaceballs.
On
Friday, April 19, 2019, I rolled Survivor: Borneo again and got to watch the
episode Long Hard Days. This is the last time that I have to roll Survivor for
a while and depending on what happens with this show, I might have to finish
writing the updates of when I rolled this somewhere else. I will keep track of
it somewhere for sure.
I haven’t told anyone in this
blog about it yet, but this is an important thing for others to know. I do not
think that it is right for someone to get an abortion simply because their
child will be born with any sort of developmental problem. But there’s an issue
an Iceland where 100% of women who learn that their baby will be born with
Down’s Syndrome will get an abortion. And elective abortion isn’t even legal in
that country like it is in the United States. Know that this actually has
nothing to do with abortion, but does have everything to do with a world where
special needs people are wiped out by those who have what are considered to be
superior minds but are just more problem causers.
There’s not too much for me to
say in terms of the Democratic race for president in this post. I know that I
might not be able to say much about it for quite some time, if at all,
depending on what happens in the future. Elizabeth Warren has a great idea that
you can read about here. This is going to make her even more of a target then
she already is. But I’m willing to think for now that she’s most likely to win
the Democratic primary and general election in 2020. There might be others that
I’d lean more towards supporting besides her, but a lot of us know that she’s
popular for now.
With no idea if I’ll be
sharing much of these links from Daily Kos in the future, I thought that I
might as well get to yet another reason why Mitch McConnell should be voted out
of office next year. I do not have high hopes for him, especially after his
part in the longest government shutdown in US history, but if Kentuckians still
like him, we’re all seriously fucked. At least stories like this one explain
why he should not win, especially if he wants to embrace his terrible side.
Sadly, many have won with terrible campaign strategies, including him back in
2014.
If you have been following
this blog for all the time that I’ve had it, you might remember that I was not
good at updating it on time as I should have been. I’ve also been sharing links
of my Good Wife blog and it had the same problem. Well, I’ve decided that I
will share the episodes in the right order, even if this was not the order that
I published the blog in. I may go back and tell you about older episodes in the
past with it, but I don’t know if I will yet or not. In this post, it talks
about various topics like a voting scandal, hacked emails, scandals causing one
to resign from office, and that a character had rigged an election. This might
have been one of the worst episodes of the show that I can remember.
You’ve probably heard a lot by
now about gerrymandering and how people are able to draw districts in order to
help advantage themselves and disadvantage the other party. Democrats are
wanting to get rid of it as the math doesn’t add up. In one case, they got over
50% of the vote, but only 30-39% of the all of the seats that they ran for. I
might need to ask someone who is good at math how that even works out because
all I know is that the math doesn’t add up.
Problems when you gerrymander
Are caused when people pander
With all one side
They can change the tide
Thus we speak about it with
candor
Regardless of if this show gets
renewed for another season or not, that will be my last political limerick that
I’m putting in this blog. If this show gets a sixth season, I will start
putting a new type of poem in the blog instead. It will appear once every post
instead of the old poems.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with Peter losing something on his way to some
important meeting of some sort. A deal needs to be made on climate change. The
team is told to look into what the kids might be hiding from them that they
need to know so that it is not dug up as dirt against them during the campaign.
Elizabeth meets with Conrad and Russell about the deal. She wants to resign and
announce her campaign for the presidency tomorrow. But she is allowed to cancel
this at the last minute. She and her husband want to go on a vacation before
the campaigning starts.
Jason doesn’t want to tone
down his political posts. Alison has admitted to doing weed. Daisy and Jay are
talking to the kids and Stevie talks about how she doesn’t think that her
dating history matters and that it didn’t prevent her from getting a job at the
White House. Elizabeth then mentions her resignation on camera that will happen
soon.
In segment two, Elizabeth
talks about what she would do regarding the treaty in question. A senator from
New Hampshire doesn’t want to advance the treaty as he felt it wouldn’t do
anything to change the issue. They need a two thirds majority to pass the
treaty. Elizabeth talks to this person later and he wants to get a bill passed
in order to vote yes on the treaty. She thinks that the bill won’t work. She
does want her husband to scuba dive, but he seems reluctant to do it. She then
hears that the treaty will pass and that’s good news. Jay takes Stevie on an
apology dinner and to little surprise, they kiss. But both of them agree that
they shouldn’t be a couple.
In segment three, Elizabeth
got a replacement pin that Pete had lost. It was something that Robert F
Kennedy had during his campaign. One could wonder how the world would be
different if he hadn’t been assassinated during the 1968 campaign. He could
have been president instead of Nixon. Peter had liked the pin because it
brought him and his father closer. Mike is told privately by Jay about the kiss
that he had with Stevie that he was awkward about.
We then get to a security
council dinner that Pete arrives at. Many all have some sort of reaction at the
dinner and could all be dying. What is going on? Pete’s life flashes before his
eyes and he passes out and it seems like the people who do the food are the
perpetrators. The butlers all did it? Isn’t that some sort of overused plot
point? Or is it something that never happens? I forget. I might have to look up
this one butler stereotype in order to know for sure what it is.
In segment four, the team
learns that a chemical agent was used to kill all the UN consul members and it
was white supremacists who did this or are claiming responsibility. It turns
out that these new people are part of a huge network that spans multiple
countries. The presidential candidate from the previous episode talks about how
he feels differently over the attack. They aren’t sure who the people are that
might have done this, but will have to trend carefully as always.
Elizabeth talks to someone
over Skype about what had happened over the people who died in their respective
countries. Russia might have caused issues due to their trolls? Do I have that
right? I’m not sure that I do or not. “…your free speech is just another weapon
that can be bought…” is part of a great quote that this man talks about.
McAllister is causing issues and he’s the controversial candidate who is
running for office. Elizabeth thinks that McAllister has been bought by Russia
but has to trend carefully as usual since this means she could be called out if
she isn’t right about this.
In segment five, Elizabeth
meets with the president and his team. Owen McAllister might have gotten some
illegal contributions from Russia and his campaign manager will be arrested as
a result. But they do not know if he has any involvement in it or not. This is
way too on the nose to reality. After the news of this breaks, Owen calls it a
witch hunt, but still drops out of the presidential race. Elizabeth isn’t sure
that they are in the clear yet. Stevie wants to meet with Jay
and there are issues. She is in tears and one can only hope that this doesn’t
lead to sex like the TV cliché that it often is.
Elizabeth doesn’t want to resign
from job and tells Conrad that. But he won’t let her not resign since he feels
that she is best to fight for the future. She then talks to Peter’s kids about
his life and legacy. We then skip to Virginia two months later. She talks about
various things in a speech. She then announces that she’s running for the
office of president of the big United States of whatever.
That’s it for this season and
we’ll see later if this show returns for another one or not. All that I know is
that this blog will continue even if the show doesn’t. I’ll explain how in a
later post if it comes to that. If the show is renewed, then not much will
change, if anything at all. I’ll be sure to do an update if this blog were to
end and explain how it would be different in the future. I don’t think that we
have much to be concerned about for the future of this blog. The future of this
show, well, I wish that I could be sure that this episode wasn’t the series
finale, but it could easily turn into that. We’ll see. For now, this is Adam Decker,
signing off.
