For a TV junkie like me, there
can be problems that happen with trying to watch all the TV shows that I like
to. Normally it doesn’t matter if I miss a show that I’d like to watch. But I
don’t tend to keep missing everything over and over again. You see, NBC has not
come in that well if at all for a long time. This means that I can’t watch The
Brave to see if that is any good. It also means missing all of the NBC shows
that I already cared about like Law and Order: SVU, The Good Place, Blindspot,
Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and anything else
that I might care about. Will any of it ever return? I want to at least keep up
with The Good Place and Blindspot. I would watch online, but the website of the
network has to be crappy too.
Since there are different
elections that I want to keep track of, I should find out the dates for
primaries for these elections since they will vary by state. In case I don’t
get to a special post later, I might as well mention a different election each
post. I’ll start with Missouri’s race for senate. The incumbent in the race who
is running for reelection is Claire McCaskill. My brother actually lives in
Missouri and while he doesn’t always support her, he said it best when he said this,
“Whenever she is in the news, it is about something good she did.” Disclaimer:
I’m not sure of his exact words, but they were something along the lines of
that.
Who else is in the race? The
only other Democrat in the race right now is Angelica Earl who I can’t find
much information about right now except that she has not held elective office
before. If you vote in the Democratic primary, vote for Claire. The primary is
on August 7th, 2018 if I have the date right. She fights against
human traffickers. That’s the most heinous crime that I know of.
Now let’s get to the
Republicans in the race. Tony Monetti and Courtland Sykes are both retired
military people. I don’t know that much about the incumbent governor of
Missouri, but I don’t think that he was a good choice because one would need
political experience. Someone else in the race is Austin Petersen who was a
Libertarian in just 2016. While he is pro-life, don’t think that he’s the
Christian candidate, because he’s actually an atheist. It is hard to understand
some of his views, but he is for the Second Amendment so I guess he passes that
test.
Josh Hawley is the main
Republican to look out for, but I think that Claire could destroy him in ads if
not the election. I don’t know what to make of him outside of the fact that he
could just be someone who wants to work his way up in politics. Still, I’d
endorse him in the Republican primary as he might be the only good person on
that side. But I’d have to do more research as KMOV will air or has aired a
story that seems to relate to something bad that happened under his watch.
Whether or not he is responsible for this bad thing (an unpunished criminal) is
unknown by me without more research. Josh is currently the attorney general of
the state.
I don’t know if there will be
many changes into what I watch on DVD for a while. But there is one and there
could be another in the near future. Shining Time Station is done being watched
and is replaced by recorded shows on tape. I have three tapes ready, although
I’d have less if the laptop I am using was working better in the past and I
could use my TV tuner. This change also means that NCIS: Los Angeles is off the
list and switched out with NCIS.
As a country, we are still not
over the Las Vegas attack and then a Halloween one in New York happens. This
time, it is a foreigner and not an American. Who cares that this new guy killed
50 less people than the Las Vegas shooter? Let’s get rid of the lottery that
lets people into the country! Well, that’s what Trump wants and I need to do
more research into this thing. ISIS originally claimed responsibility, only to
change their mind when the suspect was arrested. I don’t know why they always
claim responsibility for an attack, but it would serve as a constant reminder
with why they need to be taken out. Let’s just not get any innocent people
mixed in with the bunch.
Since I brought up the Las
Vegas shooter, I might as well bring up the fact that people are going after
his girlfriend with the idea that she should have known. Most people don’t know
terrible things about another. None of the people who knew the shooter thought
that he was this type of person. Why should she be any different? If he had an
affair, do you feel that she should have known he was cheating on her? Because
it seems to me that people always say that the woman is the last to know when
her husband is cheating. I don’t know if that’s true or not. It could just be
something that people say. But I really don’t want there to be a scapegoat in
that shooting.
The ABC show that I watched at
the same time as this is supposed to air, 10 Days in the Valley, was pulled
from the schedule and “not” cancelled, with burn-offs scheduled for Saturdays
after November sweeps are over. Get the ironic quotation marks yet? After
watching some of The Toy Box, I learn that they are looking for new people for
future seasons. While the doesn’t guarantee future seasons, it means that
someone on the network is considering one. I am also a bit concerned now about
the show Wisdom of the Crowd since the charges came against Jeremy Pivon that
he might have committed sexual harassment. Although, I haven’t watched it as
much as I could have.
I learned briefly of a Texas shooting
that happened sometime during Sunday. I should know more about it by the time I
do next week’s post. Are we going to keep getting one terrible shooting after
another? And it was a church shooting. One shouldn’t shoot people regardless of
where they worship or what religion they are. Shooting people is wrong. How do so many people not seem to know that?
There was actually another
change in the TV shows on DVD that I watch. The next Power Rangers episode on
the season three DVD set is a Christmas one. Thus, I’m removing it from the
list and replacing it with random episodes of The Andy Griffith Show that my
mother got me randomly. This also means that NCIS is off of the list and
replaced by NCIS: Los Angeles. I was also pretty busy the day that this episode
aired and didn’t get to see many sports. I learn that the Cowboys beat the
Chiefs in the game that happened right before the end of the late airing sports
game.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by 30 minute delay. We begin with updates into some of what has happened so
far this season. I don’t fully know what all to mention. Henry is at a briefing
where he is telling people what happened. The evil senator (what’s his name?)
is back and does different evil stuff than what he did last time. They mention
stuff relating to the movie The Godfather. I should see that since I am a
godfather. Henry gives an update to the meeting to Elizabeth.
Jay (was that it?) gets used
to his new job at the top. It is weird that Nadine just left so suddenly. Plus,
when are we getting to Cat? Elizabeth talks to foreign people about important
things. Jay is the new chief of staff, like I thought. Who is the policy
adviser then? Are we going to ignore that? Is that the role that Cat is going
to fill?
Henry talks to his team and tries to get more reassurance from
Alexander that he will focus some. There are problems with the foreign
visitors, as usual. It wouldn’t be this show without some sort of international
or domestic crisis. Elizabeth talks to more people about what to do and they
decide that Conrad should go to the country. We see a news report about the
senator criticizing the trip instead of what he was doing and Elizabeth points
out about what really is going on. Julia, an important person somehow, is being
expelled from the country she is in and Conrad is going to. God help us if a country
ever expels a person, whether they are a citizen of it or not.
In segment two, Henry talks
about spying on his daughter. Julia arrives at their house. Julia was involved
with two people in the country she was at. They want to figure out a good way
to hide up Julia’s affair with these two people. Alison doesn’t think that
she’s good enough to do a project that she’s working on. At least they are
giving her some back story, even if it could be better.
The person in Kurdistan
wants to get an apology. Elizabeth wants to figure out
the human trafficking problem. Only there might not be one since it could be
some confusing thing again. Talks seemed to have stalled. Where will they find
a place to host this forum? Conrad is no longer going internationally. Matt
talks some to Jay about needing to figure out a new way of behaving now that
his job has changed.
In segment three, they found a
place to host the country and found an important person in Bora Bora. What is
that place? Did I spell it right? (I did if I wrote it.) Elizabeth talks to her
husband about things. Henry is heading to Kobo. What is that? They take each
other’s reading glasses to make sure that they are both safe and have reading
glasses. Couldn’t they use each other’s glasses? The news of the affair broke
out and the summit seems to have been cancelled as a result.
Alison needs someone to do the
presentation. Stevie agrees, despite wanting to stick with work more. Possibly
exciting things happen at the White House due to the missing person who might
have been found. Is it just me, or does this show do too much at once?
In segment four, they learn
more about the breach and Julia testifies for people about her discretions.
Does anyone understand this breach thing that went on? Henry talks to someone
and they learn that some other problem happened that somehow ties into Julia in
some way. There is an explosion. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again:
what just happened?
In segment five, we learn
about a drone strike and more of what happened to Henry’s team, which is that
they are all okay as the perimeter was closed just in time. Julia, the
ambassador is brought up again as she caused various problems. Why does this
guy have a translator if he speaks English occasional? I guess that he only
knows some or enough to make it on occasion.
Stevie wonders if what she did
was a good or bad idea. She then confesses that her engagement to Jeremy is
off. That’s actually good since it never brought much to the show except
irritation for me. Alison gives her sister a pep talk as to what she should do.
We then learn that the summit to stop human trafficking is back on. The McCord
family watches the catwalk that Stevie did. Henry and Elizabeth reunite again. They
try to figure out who was responsible for the problem and Conrad thinks that
someone from the inside tipped them off. It is at this point that a lemming goes "oh no!" and then explodes.
On the next Madam Secretary, a
CIA agent is captured and they have to talk once again about the policy about
not negotiating with terrorists. I hope that isn’t a real policy as it seems
really dumb. It gives them far too much power, if it is real. I don’t know what
else to mention in this post. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
