Sometimes I make predictions
based on what I think would or probably could happen in the future. Last time
we were electing a president, I knew that Obama would win reelection the moment
that Rick Santorum dropped out of the race. I know that Democrats will probably
win this next election for president in 2016 as the Republican race is a joke.
Do they honestly expect us to take any of the people left seriously? John Kasich
would actually be a good president, but he won’t win the primary. This makes me
hope that Bernie Sanders is the one that wins the Democratic primary as I’m not
too fond of Hilary Clinton. But, she’d make a much better president than either
Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
Anyways, while I’m on the
topic of the upcoming election, I should tell you that I tend to watch both
party’s conventions when they happen, even though there is one party that I
tend to support over the others. Now every three years, the LCMS church which
I’m from has a Youth Gathering. While I’m too old to go as a youth group member
anymore, I can watch the live feeds of the gathering online. Now the
gathering’s mass events will take place at the same time as one of these contentions.
Clearly, I won’t be watching the convention. Since these party conventions take
place every four year and the gatherings take place every three years, I won’t
have to worry about this happening again until 2028.
In May, I look at all the
great shows that ended in one season and decide which of them to add to my wish
list. Originally the plan was to add one cancelled show from each of the five
major networks to my wish list each year. This doesn’t always happen because
sometimes a network doesn’t cancel much of anything while another network
cancels a lot of great shows at once. With this show ending this season, it may
have to be among the five that I add to my wish list. But will I only add five?
We’ll see at the end of the season what else all ends and doesn’t and we’ll see
which ones I feel would be worth adding to my wish list and which ones I don’t
add. Some shows are dead to me after their terrible endings. I don’t know yet
how this will end.
I had a dream that I had the
first season of iZombie on DVD and it was unwatched and unopened as I was too
busy for it. I also had dreams about having a blog about both Bordertown and
Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life. I doubt that I would create blogs
about either one of them. We’ll see though. I probably will add iZombie to my
wish list when the show ends, although I don’t think at the moment that it will
end soon. For a while it looked like it would get cancelled this season, but
then the CW made a strange move and renewed all of their main season shows.
That’s pretty strange, right? As much as their fans would probably like this,
it also doesn’t make a lot of sense when you think about it.
This blog is linked with one
about Madam Secretary. This link was kind of messed up when this show aired one
more episode than that show did last season. Now it seems like since Madam
Secretary aired a new episode last week without a corresponding episode of this
show, the blogs could be linked up again. But that won’t be the case. I made
lengths in trying to link the two blogs up again which resulted in things being
posted a bit out of order. Since this show is ending, I will quicken the blog
posts after the last episode airs until I’ve posted all the episodes and can
then change the blog or end it. By the time you are reading this blog post, it
is likely that I have already quickened the rate at which I publish this blog.
The point is, this blog will still sort of be linked to the Madam Secretary
blog for now, but ever since that extra episode of this show last season, the
blogs have been off in a way.
After family visits happened,
I’m able to watch more movies again. I watched Pleasantville with its other
commentary and replace it on the list. I also watched Finding Nemo with
commentary and replaced it on the list. I added Gosford Park to the list. I
watched Ghost Town with commentary and replaced it with The Ghost Writer. There
could be tons of problems in terms of what I can watch and what I’d replace it
with, so hopefully things will all work out. I still have a bunch of movies to
add this year, but I’m more slowly adding them then adding them all at once
since there’s too many of them and I want to finish watching all of my aunt and
uncle’s former movies, which have no easy way to be put on the list the way the
other movies do. The last main thing to note in changes with movies is that I’m
done watching the Bourne Series and have thus replaced it on the list.
Things are always changing
with the way different networks work each season. I originally thought that the
episode of this that aired after the Masters would be the last one affected by
tape delay, but it turns out there wasn’t even a new episode of this after the
Masters. Sidenote: How can anything golf related by a tournament? Am I that
dumb? It doesn’t make sense that golf can be tournament related. If you know
how golf tournaments can exist, then let me know. Anyways, there was only one
March Madness tape delay this year so the last episode was the last one
affected by tape delay. It should be smooth sailing until the series finale.
Let’s just hope that the finale is good, or at least average.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with Jeff, from the NSA, trying to make his way back
to the US for his mother’s funeral. He winds up detained at a Canadian airport
and there is a question over whether or not he crossed a line which is why both
US and Canadian people are wanting to talk to him. Alicia tells Jason about her
plan to divorce Peter. Jeff calls Alicia to be his lawyer. Diane’s husband who
apparently exists and himself points out the strange marriage situation such as
why we don’t see him as often as we do wants more of a normal relationship with
Diane. Jason knows about international law so he tells Alicia more about this
while the NSA is listening to her.
Peter gets arrested for
different charges. Maybe he can join Rod Blagojevich who somehow exists in the
same world that the show is set in. (Speaking of Rod, don’t you fear for the
state of Colorado once he gets out of prison? He will have established long
term residency there since that’s the state which prison he is at right now.
Sadly, while he can’t run for office in Illinois again, he can probably run in
any other state and he can run for federal office. He’s probably researching
their state’s election laws right now. While I wouldn’t be too concerned
normally about him getting elected there, Colorado is dumb enough to legalize
weed, so I wouldn’t put it past them.)
Act two has a Canadian justice
of the peace taking the case over what should be done regarding Jeff. The
people try to make their claim to “your worship.” I love how they are making
fun of Americans and they also subtley made fun of Canadians if you know when
I’m talking aboot. Evidence that could be trumped up is brought against Jeff
which gives America the right to extradite him. Someone wants to hire a PI to
look into the charges against Peter and Jason is considered for that role.
Act three is when the case
gets more and more interesting. Diane blows off a potential client with an
insult that they can’t air on network television. But back to the case: Alicia
learns more about the fact that the NSA has been spying on her. I still love
the way that they are insulting Americans. Jeff had leaked information and it
turns out that Alicia now knows that what she did with that one panel from
earlier that I was probably confused about had used a leak of hers. Jeff might
be guilty, but Alicia is still defending him. This leads to a disagreement with
Lucca who thinks that Jeff committed treason.
Act four has more of the case
where, as usual, things go badly for the client as the judge like person
decides to grant the extradition. But Alicia decides to seek asylum for her
client so they may actually come off ahead. I’m not sure what else to make of
the segment.
Act five has the end of the
case. Jeff is granted asylum. This is after Lucca and Alicia call each other
intentionally making sure that people would be listening to their calls. Alicia
tells Jason that she wants him and that’s why she is suddenly deciding to
divorce Peter now. Sidenote: Is Toronto really that close to Chicago? Wouldn’t
you have to go through Wisconsin and Michigan just to get to Canada? I’m not
sure if they have the geography right. Of course, if she just flies there, then
this comment of mine is just stupid then. They just didn’t say what she’d be
doing to get there.
On the next Good Wife, there
is a wedding, but mostly just more chaos happening. How will they end the show?
Will we see any of the former cast members return? What is in store for these
characters before their last hurrah? I’m interested in seeing how it ends. I’m
also interested in seeing how they write off Tony DiNozzo on NCIS. I’m hoping
that they don’t kill him off, although they might. We’ll see what happens. I
just hope that it fits with his character so far this season. Him running off
for Ziva isn’t ideal anymore as he should long be over her. But that’s a
different show. I’ll be back with more of the Good Wife whenever it is next on.
For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
