Politics: Comparing Trump and Hillary Clinton

While there are more Trump themed posts that I want to share potentially in the future, I need to do more research into them and haven’t been having a lot of time to write these posts. Maybe I can get some written in advance when I have time in the event that I don’t have time for writing it last minute as I often don’t. Still, I can hope that this is a good post regardless of how fast it is that I’m writing it in the end.

Since they ran against each other in an election for president, people have always been comparing Trump to Hillary Clinton. The wrong is quick to blame her for anything or wonder why she hasn’t been punished for certain crimes she supposedly did whenever Trump has been accused of something else new. The response from the wrong whenever a new Trump scandal comes out is always: “But her emails!” This makes you wonder how much of a comparison between the two of them is actually warranted and how much comparison there is.

Let’s start with the major differences between the two of them. Hillary had a lot of experience in terms of politics. Outside of her husband, she did a lot in the Senate and proved at a point that she was more than just a president’s wife. She wanted to go her own way and she did. It just had a tragic end when she failed to underestimate the power of Donald Trump.

Donald, on the other hand, had no experience with politics and liked to complain about those in charge of it. He was a businessman with a not so great idea: build a wall. Only unlike Roger Waters, this is not a wall that can attract a lot of people that you’d want to spend time with. He enjoyed support from various racist people, support that Hillary never got.

Something that they both have in common is missing emails. Yeah. I bet you didn’t know that Donald had missing emails. But he does. Only his wasn’t a mistake by using the wrong server. He intentionally deleted emails, as I reported in a blog post for a different blog called The Email Problem where I talk about his problems with missing emails in addition to other people’s. I even think that there are more recent missing emails under Trump, from what I’ve heard.

While many on the wrong seek to trivialize or flat out refuse to admit that Donald lies, it is one of the things that he has in common with Hillary. Both of them are known for lying. It’s a shame, really. Some used it as an excuse not to vote for her as if Donald never did it. He’s lied way more about much worse things. If anyone even believes him, they are crazy as I don’t think that even he believes half the things he says.

Another thing that they both have in common is their richness. Both were and still are very rich due to many means. Both got a lot of money and spent a lot of money in the presidential race. I do not know who spent more money in the end. But I would think that Hillary had more of a success in terms of richness than Donald ever had. I don’t think that she ever went bankrupt.

Other things worth noting comparing the two is often how extreme their ways are, how they can’t stomach the supporters of others, how their fans often feel dedicated to them, how they are known for saying stupid things at times, and how unpopular they both were and still are in some cases. But I’m with her any day over Donald.


Well, that’s all for this post. I have some posts that I might write regarding just the Clintons in some way, but don’t yet know when or if I will do it. I can hope that I’ll have more time to come up with certain posts in any and every blog of mine, but am unknown right now as to whether or not I’ll have time since I need to do other, more important things in life than blogging. So I will see you sometime in the future with this or another blog.

Politics: The New Murphy’s Law- The Trump Affect

According to Murphy’s Law, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. Now, we have a new version of that called the Trump Affect, which I’m coining for this blog. If things can get worse, it will, according to the law. It doesn’t matter how bad things will get. Things can and do always get worse in some way. Things will get more ridiculous. It doesn’t matter how unlikely that is. You cannot stop getting a worse result with Trump. It’s not a matter of if, but how.

We start with the attorney general that Trump put in charge. Jeff Sessions was thought to be quite a terrible person to have that job. These people were right to think that. Was there anything good about him? I don’t recall. But he made Trump pissed off by recusing himself from the Russia investigation and got fired after the midterms. There were issues with the temporary replacement until we got William Barr as attorney general. William Barr turned out to be way worse than Jeff Sessions could ever hope to be.

How else has Trump gotten worse? Well, the talks of a border wall lead to an inhumane policy that saw children separated from their parents. If putting kids in cages wasn’t bad enough, Trump helped orchestrate the longest government shutdown and US history in order to secure funding for a border wall. Many had to work without paychecks and some were never paid at all. Despite the shutdown ending, he still got his money, but no new wall has yet been built.

While Trump has always been racist, it seems that he often has more bursts than other times. He called the Nazis protesting at Unite the Right fine people while saying that there were bad people on both sides. He embraced the very racist go back rhetoric and calls the illegals coming from Mexico an invasion. There is no invasion going on.

I never hated Trump before he ran for president. Now, my hatred for him grows only stronger each day. Yet so many people think that people are only motivated by hatred of him as if he is not full of hate or that he deserves not to be hated. He blames anyone and everything for issues that he does wrong or is done wrong on his watch. Nothing is ever his fault and he tries to make anything about an issue that has nothing to do with him and might not even be real, such as a supposed alt left. The same party that refused to show respect for a great man like Obama now insist that Trump, who shows no respect to anyone, deserves only that treatment.


Maybe there should be more to this blog post, but I think that I will end it there. You never will know or be able to guess how things in the Trump administration will get worse or how much of the party will excuse his bad behavior. I’m waiting for the day Trump live streams a crime to the internet and people still defend his horrible behavior. It is not a matter of if things will get worse: it is how. That, my friends, is the Trump affect.

Cast Update 1-3-2020

Welcome to the first cast update of the year. There’s not much to say outside of the usual me wondering if certain things will be updated well since not everything that we see of the projects at the end of a year are updated well, if at all. Also, this may be a potential spoiler, but I will list which of the alumni of this show is now joining the cast of The Good Fight for its fourth season. I do want to do a random post on which Good Wife characters might appear in the spin-off that haven’t already. I just doubt that I could remember all of the people outside of the main ones who could work.

Spin-off information- My review of the spin-off will follow later in this post. It will probably stay for as long as the show is still on. If the show leaves the air, then I’ll probably cut it. I do plan on creating a new blog for it in the future. I guess that I will just have to keep you updated on when it might be released in the future.


Julianna Margulies: It appears that the main actress has a project in the works. She is working on a new project called The Hot Zone, which will be a miniseries. I hope that it airs on the FOX network so I can see it. Otherwise, I might have it here without much info in it.

The Hot Zone: This doesn’t have much of a plot mentioned, other than that it is about the spread of the Ebola virus. It will air on National Geographic. It is out now on TV. There is a trailer for it. I’ll keep this here in the updates for as long as I know it is still on. Since it is a miniseries, I know that renewal is not an option for it.


Thoughts on trailer: This looks exciting. I might have to look up what happened (since this is inspired by true events and based off of a book) since I doubt that I will be able to see this as usual. It could be cool and looks like quite a thriller.

Josh Charles: I hope that I see more from him in the future or this will be a fairly short segment that you will always see. It is hard to tell for sure what goes on with some of the projects of his or other people’s in this blog to be honest. He’s also in something new called The Loudest Voice. Another thing that he’ll be in is a TV show called Away.

The Loudest Voice: This is a TV show airing right now on Showtime. It is about the rise and fall of Roger Ailes. It will air on Showtime which is a shame, because I think that I would have liked to watch this as it could help educate me on what went on.

Away: This has no release date right now or trailer. This will be on Netflix. All I know is that it’s about an astronaut missing her family while on a dangerous mission. Josh is just one of the two people cast for this right now.

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. I guess I’ll have to see what could happen with his career in the future… Maybe a lot of things just hasn’t happened with him yet.

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. I was tired of always telling you about Blindspot over and over again and now finally have a reason to tell you about a new show she’s doing. It is called Departure and will be mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. Another show that she’ll be doing now is I Know this Much is True. She also appears to be in something called Fairytale.

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a possible plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to.

I Know this Much is True: This is set for release in 2020. It is a limited series that will air on HBO. It is about a person trying to get his mentally ill twin to be released from an asylum and appears to be based off of a book of some sort.

Fairytale: This has no release date or trailer at this time. It is about a romantic story that is based off of real people in some way. I have no idea yet what the title has to do with the story, but will wait and see what movie might be like.

Christine Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a Good Wife spin-off. It will only be available on CBS All Access (and hopefully DVDs in the future). The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that. She’ll also be in something called Christmas on the Square that is a movie. Another thing she will be in is The Gilded Age. That might be it for now.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Bad Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer and no release date just yet. It doesn’t have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas. Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?

Christmas on the Square: This has no trailer yet. It is set to be released in 2020. It is about residents of a small town not wanting to be bought out by a big corporation. I’m not sure what Christmas has to do with it, but I guess we’ll see.

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show with a currently unknown release date. This will air on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made and never brought to series. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO.

Matt Czuchry: All of this time that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show called The Resident.

The Resident: This is a show that is on FOX at 8/7 Central on Tuesdays. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know for sure. A review of the show now follows.

The Resident: Status- Currently on FOX at 8/7 Central on Tuesdays. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. It also has Emily VanCamp who starred on Brothers and Sisters as well as Revenge. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called InstaFame. Another project that she is doing is called Exploited. Yet another is called Growing up Gorman.

InstaFame: This has no release date just yet. It’s about a person who frames their best friend for murder. I’m not sure why that would be, but I guess that I’d have to see the movie to find out why this would be the plot of it.

Exploited: This movie is set for release in 2020. It is about a new college student who is obsessed with the previous owner of his school issued laptop. I guess that we will see more about this later (I hope) as time goes by.

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. Yet another thing that he appears to be doing is a TV movie called Going Back. There’s also a new project called Run. Another new thing he’s doing is called Dunes of Overveen. He’s also in Briarpatch. That’s a lot.

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

Going Back- This does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It focuses on a man who creates a frenzy by pretending to be a teenager. It seems to be set in Scotland, so that might be where it might be released. Hopefully, it will be released here too.

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. There is also a movie of the same name set to be released soon.


Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

Dunes of Overveen: This is a movie about World War II and how artists were turned into soldiers. It has no release date right now. I hope to find out more about this later and I guess we’ll see what becomes of it in the future. I’m not sure right now if this is still moving forward as a project. This isn’t on imdb.

Briarpatch: This is airing now sometime on the USA Network. It is possible that Alan wouldn’t have that big a role on it. This show, which is based on a book, would be about a tale of corruption in a small town as Hollywood makes you believe that you can never trust those places (small towns, that is). I don’t yet know how big a role Alan has on this so it might be removed from updates later. This will be the last time that you see the show in the updates due to his limited role in it.

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing a project. It is a TV movie called Devs. It looks like it will be moving forward in the future. I’ll explain more of what it is soon. I’m glad to see that he is doing something. I had a practically blank spot here for a while. He is also in a movie called The Vizitant. He’s also in The White Stuff. He will be a fourth season regular in The Good Fight.

Devs: It will be airing on FX at some point. It seems like it could be interesting as it relates to a missing person and a development division in a company. It’s a shame that I probably won’t be able to see it anytime in the future. It has a release year of 2020. The news says that this will be on BBC now instead of FX. Will I be able to see it? I have no idea. There is a trailer now for this.


Thoughts on trailer: This is not a full-fledged trailer and just a teaser. I have no idea what to make of it as a result and will only hope that a better trailer will come in the future that I can talk about instead. Until then, say tuned…

The Vizitant: This is set to be released sometime in 2020. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

The White Stuff: This is set for release in 2020. In it, a man learns something very weird about himself: he can’t see race. This is a short of some sort. It sounds interesting, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to see any shorts like this one or not.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A new project he’s in is called Four Kids and it. He’s done so much and keeps doing more. Another potential project of his is called A Discovery of Witches, which would be a TV show. Another new thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. Yet another movie he’ll be in is The King’s Man. He will also be in a new Downton Abbey movie.

Four Kids and it: This looks like another in a line of kids finding some magical creature film. I liked these as a kid, although I’m not sure that I’ll still have the same fondness as an adult. Hopefully I can. There is no trailer of specific release date for it yet. It changed from 2017 as the year to an unknown year. I do hope that they can come up with a better name for it than what they have now. It is a good thing that I kept this in the update as it appears that he will be in this after all if all still moves forward the same way as he might be in this again.

A Discovery of Witches: This is out now. It will air on the Sky network which I think is British and not American meaning that I doubt that I’d be able to see it. The plot makes it seem like a supernatural show that has witches and vampires who have to work together even though they shouldn’t trust each other. It has a trailer now:


Thoughts on trailer: This seems mysterious and possibly interesting. It does seem to have some of the usual concepts of forbidden love and could wind up focusing too much on sex in some places that it probably shouldn’t. I just wish that it would air in the US. Maybe it will in the summer of 2019 on the CW. Otherwise, you’ll just see it here in these updates for as long as I keep it here.

Medieval: This is a movie set to be released sometime in 2020. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it.

The King’s Man: This looks like it will be a prequel to the Kingsman series of movies. I’ll probably post review of the other movies in the series at some point. That will at least give me an excuse to watch them again. Its release date has changed to September 18, 2020. There is a trailer for this now that I will talk about.


Thoughts on trailer: I can’t gather much from a teaser like this, but may keep it in here instead of going with an official trailer later. You see, this looks interesting to me like all the other movies in the franchise have thus far. I look forward to seeing it. I just wish that a bit more could be revealed about it.

Downton Abbey: This is on DVD now. It has a trailer that I will talk about soon. All that one really needs to know about this would be in the show so I won’t bother with a description here. I have a review of this now that I will talk about.


Thoughts on trailer: While I’m not sure that much can be gathered from it, it looks like it is what people would expect or want from the TV show in a movie form. It looks like it might be good and enjoyable so I look forward to watching it.

Review: Movie Name- Downton Abbey. Genre- This is historical fiction and drama. Rating- PG. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from a TV show of the same name. Description- The king and queen come to visit the historic place so the crew there makes it so that they are not taken over by the visiting crew. The Good Wife Alumni in it- Matthew Goode plays one of the characters, although I couldn’t quite tell who he was in the film. He was credited as the last person to appear on camera. Pros- This is something the whole family could watch. The plot is simple and easy to follow. Cons- Not much happens in the film. There is no real sense of conflict. Some parts seem ignored and unresolved. Note to Parents- Two men kiss each other in the film. There are some minor fighting scenes. A person tries to kill another with a gun at some point. Recommendation- I would say that this is a good enough film to watch, but boring enough that you won’t miss anything if you don’t see it. IMDB Ranking: 7.8. My Grade: C.

Cush Jumbo: In addition to doing The Good Fight, there’s at least one other project that she is doing, a short called Toads & Bluebottles. She’s also going to star in the same movie as Jeffrey Dean Morgan called The Postcard Killings. Another thing that she’s doing is a miniseries called Deadwater Fell.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm.

Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Toads & Bluebottles: This is going to be a ten minute short. There’s no trailer or release date for this just yet. I’m not sure how to see most shorts. I think that most of them are hard to come by. It is listed as in preproduction. I was able to find the plot: it’s an animated story about imaginary people doing a life journey in just ten minutes. Will it be good? I have no idea. I’d have to see it, or at least a trailer for it, to know for sure. The year of release is an unknown time. I no longer see this on imdb.

The Postcard Killings: This has no release date at this time. It is about a person trying to solve the murder of his daughter and other crimes that seem related to it. It could be interesting, even if it sounds gruesome possibly.

Deadwater Fell: This will probably airing in the UK, but maybe not the US. It will air in 2020 at some point in time. The plot is about a happy family being murdered by someone they trusted, causing cracks to appear in their community. Do I detect hints of Desperate Housewives? I guess we’ll see.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now in the cast of The Walking Dead. Another thing that he appears to be in is a movie called Walkaway Joe. He’s also in something new called The Postcard Killings. He’ll also be in something called Shrine.

The Walking Dead: This is a popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from what is known as The Walking Dead, or walkers, zombies who are often the bad guys. But who else are causing problems?

Review: Status- Currently on AMC at times. Why I’ve seen it- I borrowed this on DVD from a friend in order to review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from comic books of the same name. Description- A man wakes up from a coma to find that he now lives in a world with zombies, his old world gone. Notable People- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was in The Good Wife, is now on this show. Pros- It has a good premise that works for the most part. Cons- It can be too slow moving and seem longer than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I wouldn’t let your kids watch this. Teens might be safe, but I might steer clear of that too. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth watching if you like this sort of show. I’d put it at a toss-up myself as to whether or not to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch the whole first season on DVD. Whether or not I’ll see any more after that is unknown. Prediction- I think that it is close to ending sometime in the near future. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

Walkaway Joe: This doesn’t have a release date yet. It appears that it will be about the friendship between a man and a kid. It might be a western, but it is hard to tell that much about it just yet. I hope that it gets made.

The Postcard Killings: This has no release date at this time. It is about a person trying to solve the murder of his daughter and other crimes that seem related to it. It could be interesting, even if it sounds gruesome possibly.

Shrine: This has no release date at the time. It continues the whole small town crime conspiracy that Hollywood is known for doing at times. The protagonist is a journalist and if I had to guess, the antagonist is everyone else.

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight. He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. We’ll see if that makes it past the pilot phase. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm.

Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently airing at Thursdays at 10/9 Central on CBS. Will it have any supernatural elements or will everything be explained? Maybe we’ll find out what will happen.

Evil: Status- Currently on CBS at 10/9 Central on Thursdays. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. Prediction- This has been renewed for a second season, but might not have additional episodes this season. We’ll see if it lasts longer than that or not. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also doing Evil and Girls with Guns.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online only at CBS all access. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently airing at Thursdays at 10/9 Central on CBS. We’ll see how long it might last.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has two projects in the works. One is called The Summer People. She’s also going to be in something called Cognitive. I don’t think that there is much else to gather from her career just yet.

The Summer People: This has no release date or trailer right now. It is about people who are forced to work with others to last in some way. I have no idea right now what this might be about and will have to wait until more is known. This will be a TV movie.

Cognitive: This is possibly out already. It will be a short. It does have a trailer that I will talk about. In this story, people are lead to believe that they aren’t growing up at all due to something about the way they were raised.


Thoughts on trailer: Okay, so this doesn’t reveal anything outside of the plot that we already know based on what imbd says the official plot of this is. What else is there to say about this? I have no idea. We’ll have to wait until it is out to know more.

Poppy Montgomery: The most recent thing that she has done is Reef Break on ABC. I watched the first season finale. It was cancelled and I’ll have to wait to see what other projects of hers might happen in the future.


Reef Break review: Why I’ve seen it- I watched it online to review it for this blog. Description- A former thief helps the police solve cases, I think. Notable People- Poppy Montgomery from Without a Trace is in this TV show. Pros- It seems pretty simple and one would know what to expect from it. Cons- It can seem run of the mill and ordinary. It ended on a cliffhanger. Note to Parents- This has about the same amount of objectionable material that you’d find in other shows. Recommendation- Don’t bother with this anymore. Cancellation reasons- It had low ratings that even its decreased cost couldn’t save it from in the end. Similar shows- Prodigal Son, Blood and Treasure, Hawaii Five-0, and Magnum P.I. DVD suggestion- Don’t get it if it comes out. Reception: negative. Grade: D-.

Former projects: From now on, a list of projects that the cast has done of things that once had them in it but no longer do will be mentioned in this section below. It will largely be used to keep track of TV shows that used to star these people and what became of these shows. It might be used on occasion for other things as well, depending on what I feel would work here. This includes Blindspot. More might come later, but isn’t here now.

Blindspot: This show is on hiatus. A review will follow. This is the show about a woman who wakes up with amnesia and uses her tattoos to solve crimes. The plot has evolved some in more recent seasons, but enjoy this standard review nonetheless.

Review: Blindspot: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I was interested in the idea of it. Description- For mysterious reasons, a woman has amnesia and tattoos all over her body and there are crimes solved based off of this. Pros- The show is intriguing and interesting. Cons- The show may seem a bit scatterbrained and it seems like they are trying to do a female version of Jason Bourne. The show can seem similar to other types of dramas in a way. It can also be more violent than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I’d say that this is something that teenagers can watch, but not any younger than that. I think that all the episodes I’ve seen thus far were TV14. Recommendation- I’d say that this is worth watching. Prediction- The upcoming season of it will be its last. Reception: positive. Grade: B+.
