Now that the next year has
started, you might be wondering about the movies from my aunt and uncle that
I’m watching. You might also wonder if I finished watching all of the Christmas
movies that I planned to watch. That would affect my plans going into the New
Year. Well, I was able to finish watching them early. I then watched Absolute
Power and replaced it with the Bourne series. Now, they only actually gave me
one of these movies, but I have the rest on DVD so I will watch the whole
series again. Plus, I might add another list of movies, even if I’m only
telling you about certain ones on the list anyways. There’s a lot for me to
potentially add, but I won’t add them all as that would be far too many things
to add at once.
I ended up adding a third
movie list and the movies that my aunt and uncle gave me that have been put on
that list are Indiana Jones (which was just one movie that they gave me, but
the whole movie series is on the list now) and Clueless. There’s a lot of
movies that I want to add to different lists, but I won’t add most of them, as
I’m trying to watch these other movies. I can add more once I finish watching
them all (or at least added all of them to the lists of mine), but there’s also
summertime and other reasons why I could add these movies to future lists.
The Golden Globes are on
tonight making me wonder how shows might be affected. Last year, shows on CBS
aired at a planned hour long delay. That is what created this blog about The
Good Wife, even though the first post didn’t happen until March when a new
episode aired with no delay. At this point, I might have to wait that long (the
end of football season) to create that blog about CSI: Cyber. I’m getting tired
of all these delays which I think happened in at least one of my regions every
week since this show started. I really hate football. I will only watch the
shows after the Super Bowl, but I never watch the game itself. Besides, my team
isn’t in it anymore anyways.
I was able to watch a movie
and I added The Fugitive to the list. I should add Finding Nemo at some point
as they gave me a DVD copy of it and it has a sequel coming out this year. I
also watched one of the Bourne movies.
You know, in an alternate
world, this might be the first episode of The Good Wife that I’d be blogging
about. I still don’t know why they ending up putting it on an hour delay this
time last year. Even though the first post was on a March episode, this is
around my one year anniversary of the start of this blog. Yay for me!
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin where last week’s episode left off: Eli is telling
Alicia of the message from Will that he deleted. I don’t know why he is doing
this. He has nothing to gain by doing this. This is a bad idea, him telling her
about this. She would probably not even know about this if he didn’t tell her
and all this will do is make her mad. Of course, she does get mad and wrecks
plates around him. What did I say would happen? Why would he do this so close
to her husband’s campaign in Iowa? Jason comes and talks to her some.
We finally see more of Zach. I
know that he has been credited this whole time, but this is the first time I
remember actually seeing him this season. Why did it take so long to get back
to him? What was the actor busy with? Why is he still part of the cast? They
could put Ruth’s character in the cast since she’s actually important. Alicia
being mad at Eli is probably what leads her to supporting whatever path Ruth
wants to take since she knows that Eli and Ruth don’t get along and want
opposite things. Anyways, the group is campaigning in Iowa trying to go to all
Iowa counties. The fact that Zach complains about Iowa proves that he doesn’t
explore the rest of Illinois that much. More of it is farm land than anything
else. I should know. I’m from Illinois. There is a prenup going on and other
stuff that will probably be more important later.
Act two reveals that Howard
wants to keep all of his money before going into his marriage. I still haven’t
caught up to that episode on VHS yet, but I will in the future. Lockhart Argos
is affected by a racial discrimination case from the person that the originally
didn’t hire before they did. Alicia complains about Iowa and this is caught on
camera leaving people offended at the next county he is going to. How did they
all learn of it this quickly? They seek to do damage control and are able to
come up with a story behind her complaint.
They complete the full
Grassley. Who is Grassley? If what he did was important, why was he never
president? Speaking of which, the show incorrectly stated earlier that Rick
Santorum lost the state of Iowa in the primary. But he didn’t. We thought he
did at first. I’m not sure why they don’t remember the fact that he actually
did win the Iowa primary. Also, Peter is tired of the type of burgers that he’s
always eating and is caught on camera spitting one out. Anyone think that they
not so casually recycled footage of his bus entering these Iowan towns? It
looked like the same turn in the same town slightly altered. Plus, some footage
made it seem like the bus was on the wrong side of the road.
Act three has people at a
voting precinct working with the Iowa caucuses. I am glad that my state doesn’t
do a caucus. I like the voting system that we do have: paper ballads. Lucca is
working more with the case of the prenup between Peter’s mother and Howard. I
never understand nor care about whatever is happening with Diane’s firm. I do
wonder how they got the right Democrats in the race at this point. Hilary
Clinton, Martin O’Malley, and Bernie Sanders are all in this episode with Peter
Florrick as another candidate. They can do that, but they can’t remember which
Republican won the last Iowa caucus. Anyways, somehow thirty becomes
twenty-nine as they look to find enough voters to stay in the race. One of the
planned voters left when they have the bare minimum, thus not having enough
when people count them for votes.
Act four reveals what happens
to the one voter: she joined the Hilary Clinton supports. The one crazy guy who
was at a lot of rallies shows up and thus a lot of people support Peter now.
But, he ended up winning only four counties, a distant fourth to the other
three candidates. It makes me wonder if he will be a write in candidate
anywhere in real life. He might. I’ve never understood why people would vote
for people that don’t exist. Now I heard someone mention that they don’t
actually count write-in candidates because Mickey Mouse would have won a lot of
times. I don’t buy that. A real candidate is always going to get more votes. Of
course, from what I’ve heard, only the official write in candidates would get
votes on those ballads.
Act five has the rest of the
episode with some of the stuff wrapped up. As usual, there are things that
aren’t wrapped up that we will probably never hear about again anyways. Jackie,
the name of Peter’s mother, is forgoing the prenup since Peter lost the race in
a way. Am I the only one who wonders why the primaries aren’t held in every
state at once? That would make more sense to me. But then again, so many
different ways of voting happens in this country that doesn’t make sense.
Remember the Electoral College? I still celebrate Opposite Day every December
12th as it is the anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision Bush
versus Gore. I still don’t know why people hate Gore. Are you still somehow
unconvinced of Climate Change? Regardless, Eli thinks that Alicia should have
been the one running for president as people want her instead of Peter.
On the next Good Wife, Eli is
fired by Ruth and Alicia is still mad at him. What am I supposed to make of
that promo? I’m not sure. It’s also interesting that this show features real
world politics so much even though it is not in the real world. It’s always
bothered me that they do that. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
