Episode from 3-29-2015

Okay, this will be a bit of a complicated post. I knew that March Madness would delay the beginning of this episode. But, it was not as long a delay as I would have liked. There were things I was doing outside of the house that prevented me from being home exactly when it started. So I decided that I will watch the beginning of this episode online and blog about what I can later. The first two acts will be blogged about when I can see that part online. The third act onward will be blogged live! Isn’t that cool! I don’t know if I can live blog that often (and obviously, you won’t be seeing this updated as soon as you’d probably want me to update it), but today is weird and brings forth an exception. Today’s episode is brought to you by a 17 minute delay. But at least Duke beat Gonzaga in the game. Or, at least, I think that was the game that was on CBS.

Let’s start at the beginning. Elizabeth talks at some sort of dinner. We learn about a cult in Bolivia. This is the part that I remember from later, since I’m blogging about this and the second part later. Elizabeth talks to her daughter Stevie about the internship she is doing. Elizabeth is doing her best to handle the situation at hand in Bolivia. Basically, they are concerned also about Stevie dating her boss. I decided that I don’t care that much about this episode in question.

In segment three, someone meets up with Elizabeth regarding a kidnapped congressman. She thinks that bringing her husband, Henry, into the situation will help improve it. I’m getting distracted a lot during this episode so it might lead this post to be stranger than usual (like you’d ever know the difference). I will do the best that I can to keep up and may just rewatch the whole episode to make sure that this blog post is up to par.

In segment four, Henry talks with the kidnapped congressman or his captor. I can’t tell what is exactly. Now a kidnapped congressman is something that TV can do, but it would more than likely never happen in real life. Henry says a possibly fabricated, possibly real story about why religion means a lot to him. Elizabeth makes it seem that the story is, in fact, real. I think that’s what it is or not. With the strange religious beliefs of the Good Wife on right after this, it is hard to tell what to make of a lot of these things. But I shouldn’t get worried about the religious beliefs of people that don’t really exist. The situation with Henry gets tense. Turns out he was probably talking with one of the captors. There is a problem the he accidently creates.

In segment five, the situation gets tense as they try to rescue the congressman. Everyone important to the episode seems to get rescued, but others end up dying. Henry talks to Stevie about Arthur who is a boss of hers and also her lover. On the next episode, a bunch of crazy things happen as usual. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Episode from 3-22-2015

If you remember, you’d know that I said to not trust the fact that sports delays would be over for the year. Just when one type is over, the next one starts. With March Madness going on, I wondered why they thought that the game they were showing would end at six. I knew that it wouldn’t. But the game ran long and thus delayed primetime on CBS. Thankfully, the delay was the same on both of my CBS affiliates as they were showing the same game along with probably every CBS affiliate. And while I would normally put this on VHS instead of my laptop, that didn’t end up happening for various reasons that ironically left the VCR unused. FOX was showing Nascar that cut into their programming which ultimately just left the Simpsons rerun they were showing cut short by cutting out the beginning of it. I always found it annoying when they did that, but now they don’t seem to do that with new programming anymore. They must have learned that in those rare cases, they should just do tape delay like CBS does. The basketball game that was on was Wichita versus Kansas and Wichita ended up winning.

Today’s episode is brought to you by a 35 minute delay. We begin with Elizabeth thinking about what happened in the previous episode. She might have PTSD. Or does she? Jason starts at a new school since he was expelled from his old one. Elizabeth gets worried about the whole situation since she sees active shooter drill on the schedule for the future. She also freaks out a woman while getting wounds healed. Very confusing indeed.

In segment two, we get to a bodyguard that people want to hire for Jason. Elizabeth suffers from flashbacks of the events of the previous episode. Jason doesn’t like the idea of having a bodyguard, but he’s stuck with one anyways since his mother is a bit paranoid.

In segment three, there’s a pretty basic plot where Elizabeth has a panic attack based on all the stuff that has been happening lately. Maybe this is more like Hilary Clinton than I think it is. But, we still see more drama in this show than we do in real life.

In segment four, Elizabeth gets more emotional as she prepares for stuff in her life. It’s very hard to summarize what is happening. I seem to have that problem a lot. But we’ll see if that problem persists. The point is, Elizabeth gets help for her problems.

In segment five, we get to a finishing wrap-up. Maybe this episode was just more boring than it was supposed to be. It seemed more like filler than an actual episode. Elizabeth plays video games in hopes of overcoming fears she has about being shot at. She talks to Bob Schieffer about what happened.

On the next Madam Secretary, there is a religious incident of some sort that could be happening. Is it bad? It could be. We’ll see. But it puts Henry in danger. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
