Hola amigos! This was another quiet-ish week, I’m finding that different channels are taking different breaks all over the place, which makes my life easier, because I don’t have a bazillion shows to watch every week. In terms of updates – Fox has announced that the next season of Bones (season 12) will be the last season and we will be saying goodbye to the amazing chemistry that is Booth and Brennan and all the team at the Jeffersonian. As sad as I am that they’re ending it, I think their time has come and all the characters are at stages of their lives that the writers can end the show well. On another note, if you live in Australia, I highly recommend watching the new show on Channel 9 called Here Come the Habibs (if you’re not in Australia, I’m sure you’re smart enough to find a way 😉 ) After three episodes, I think this is an absolutely hilarious, tears-rolling-down-my-cheeks, falling-off-the-couch show. Some people are saying that it’s racist, rude and stereotypical, but you know what? It really doesn’t matter because that’s the point of the show, just take it as it is and have a good laugh!
NCIS: LA E16
WE FINALLY FIND OUT CALLEN’S NAME!
And it was well worth the wait 😀 Carrying on from the last episode, Sam, Anna and G go to Russia and go and rescue Arkady Kolcheck and a CIA operative from a jail under a strict time schedule to avoid causing an international incident. Things don’t go exactly to plan but they end up at a CIA safe house being run by an old man called Garrison – and the minute you look at him, you know that something is up with him. He’s way to comfortable with the crew and looks at G like he knows him – ding ding ding, that’s his father! Just before they are to leave Russia with everyone in tow and alive, G and Garrison have a few minutes to themselves to discuss their relationship, and Garrison tells him he knows all about his son and is proud that he is a good man. He also calls G Grisha (which is the equivalent of Gregory in Russian) and tells him that his name is Grisha Alexandrovich Nikolaev and with the hope that they will meet again and learn more about each other. A few other things happen in the episode, but to be honest, I couldn’t give a damn because, as the title suggests, I waited way too long for this moment to happen 🙂
Castle E12
This episode totally freaked me out but intrigued me at the same time. As a science student that studied psychology courses at uni, it was an interesting case that involved parents that tested their twin children with various techniques to study separation anxiety – making their daughter kill herself and the son withdrawn and mentally unstable. Anyway, the case was interesting and Castle and Beckett were thrown into the deep end with a range of scenarios and different people to deal with and we saw again, how mature and responsible Alexis can be in times where her Dad is in trouble or not so mature. Plus, I love her hair ❤
Agent Carter E08 & E09
Can Peggy and Daniel just get together already, I cannot take all the stares and sexual tension anymore! Just kiss already!
This was another two episode joy ride, but wasn’t as complicated as last week. Wilkes and Whitney talk about experimenting on each other to find out about Zero Matter and she is told by the Zero Matter that she needs the uranium rods to recreate the explosion that caused the initial Zero Matter rift to open (she’s hearing voices that Wilkes isn’t – creepy, I know) In the meantime, Anna wakes up and Jarvis learns she can never have children and Peggy, Sousa and Jarvis decide to exchange fake uranium rods for Wilkes’ life. BUUUUUUUT the exchange goes wrong and Wilkes holds a gun to Peggy’s head demanding Sousa to tell him where the real rods are kept, making the most of Sousa’s feelings for her, that sneaky two timing bastard! Sousa tells him that the rods are at the SSR, Wilkes tells Whitney, Whitney tells Masters (You can see where this is going…) BUUUUUUT welcome Jack Thompson, who finally gets his head screwed on properly, and confronts Masters stealing the rods, only to have his memories erased and gets found by Sousa and Peggy. In the end, Whitney manages to open the Zero Matter rift, Wilkes disappear into it, the team uses a Gamma ray gun to close the rift, Wilkes is left behind – oh and Jarvis shoots Whitney in his anger, she survives but then kidnaps Peggy and Jarvis. And that was episode 8.
Episode 9 opens with a lovely musical number, which was Peggy’s hallucinations, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone sing and dance a little. Whitney decides to operate/experiment on Wilkes who knows he’s ticking time bomb ready to explode, after Peggy and Jarvis have escaped their kidnappers and started their journey home. Peggy makes Jarvis go and spend time with this wife, while Jack tells Masters that he should meet with Whitney and use the Gamma gun to kill her BUUUUUUT he double crosses Masters and tells Whitney their plan and that she should kill him when he comes in exchange for a spot on the Council. Peggy punches Masters, and their all kind of on the same side but unknown to anyone, Jack has turned the Gamma gun into a Gamma bomb and intends to blow it up both Masters and Whitney – and doesn’t care that an innocent Wilkes is in the same place and would die as well. But Sousa and the lab tech guy disarm the bomb, much to Jack’s disappointment and Peggy fails in saving Wilkes, with the episode ending with the Zero Matter in Wilkes exploding out of him. Now the issue is that next week is the finale of the season for a whole year, which means that there is a lot that needs to be covered next week and I have too many questions that need to be answered in a 45 minute episode, I CAN’T WAIT!
NCIS E16
Man, you really feel for Tony in this episode, it’s just a very nostalgic episode and plenty of old memories are brought up. Dr Taft and Jeanne come back in a case involved stolen guns and the case comes around to Le Grenioulle and Tony and Jeanne’s past. It was a pretty good episode, and we also get the opportunity to see a close relationship developing between Gibbs and Taft – it’s high time that Gibbs has a friend.
Suits E15
Harvey and Mike have zero faith in themselves and the case that they put up to free Mike, need Donna and Rachel to grow a pair and Louis has a freak out! By the end of the episode, Gibbs has gotten into Mike’s head to take a deal, but keep in mind that next week is the season finale, so I’d be happy to see how this all plays out. Also, it’s been 5 years, and I just feel like this show is coming to an end, I hope they don’t drag it out unnecessarily!
The 100 E06
There were three main scenarios going on this episode, so I’m going to try and summarise it quickly, because tbh, the episode was a bit meh and I found myself reaching for my phone to plan Candy Crush on 
It was heavy on information and talking and light on the action, at least that’s what I found
- Emmerson (the last Mountain-man) is delivered to the Capital and Lexa leaves it to Clarke to decide if they want to kill him or not. Funnily enough, when it comes to avenging the Grounders, Clarke is all “blood must not have blood”, but the minute it’s her own avenging happening, she’s all “yes, let’s kill him, he’s a bad guy” – Thankfully she comes to her senses and banishes him from the land.
- Kane bugs Pike’s meeting room and overhear him making plans to eliminate an entire Grounder village in order to use their land to grow crops. Octavia goes to warn the village, instead gets captured and the village creates a trap for Bellamy and his village-extinguishing posse, all but one survive. Pike realises that Kane is a traitor and asks his lapdog Bellamy to find proof (I’m starting to think that Bellamy and Jack Thompson from Agent Carter are cut from the same cloth: easily influenced and shit really needs to hit the fan before they realise they’re on the wrong side)
- Raven is cured of all her pain when she has the pill that Jaha gives her, Jasper wants to do the same and Abby is just a little bit concerned as to how the pill works, which is totally understandable. But her assistant, Jackson has taken the mystery magic pill and is on Jaha’s side Anyway, ALIE wants to find the program to upgrade her system, uses Raven to get to it and discovers that there was another section (Section 13) that was not sent up to the Arc, and that section is somewhere on the ground (Hint: With the Grounders) and has the upgrades ALIE needs to – take over the world?!
I don’t know how I feel about the show anymore, it’s not what it started out as, and I haven’t decided if I like these changes or not…
How to Get Away with Murder E12
AH the ending, the ending! Ok so again, if you don’t want spoilers, skip on down past the gif of a shocked Pumba. Alright, the rest of you, man that was a good episode! In the past, we see very preggers Annalise convinces Rose to be a witness for her in the defense of Charles the murdering fiancé. However, on the day of the trial, Rose doesn’t appear to testify, causing the case to fall apart and Annalise returning to Rose to confront her. At the end of that scene, Rose shouts at Christophe and his expression is… not an average angry child face. Meanwhile, Philip Jesup demands $1mil from the team or he’ll send the video incriminating them to the police. Everyone spends the entire episode freaking out, except Wes and Laurel who go to Cleveland to have a look at the case Rose was involved in. In Cleveland, they get super close and finally hook up (actually the first time members of the Keating-5 have hooked up, they lasted almost 2 seasons!) but Laurel discovers something about the case and doesn’t tell Wes. Back in Philly, the team spend a night living their lives (ie. having sex with their respective others), ignore the deadline and discover that Philip is stalking the Keating house. And then enter Laurel, who demands to speak to Annalise about a document that states that Christophe/Wes is the primary suspect in the death of this mum and the scene cuts to a dying Rose on the floor with a Christophe holding a bloody knife – HOLY SHIT WHAT?! DID WES ACTUALLY KILL HIS MOTHER BECAUSE SHE TOLD HIM TO GO TO BED?! WHAT WHAT WHAT?! 
The Flash E15
So after Jay’s “death”, everyone is super emotional and on edge and I can see why, but it got a bit much after the 10 minutes. Harry tells Cisco and Barry not to talk about what happened on Earth-2 but that’s pretty hard considering one saw his best friend as n evil Meta and the other saw his father figure die in front of him. Whilst all this emotional turmoil is going on, Diggle and Lyla (the new Director of ARGUS) visit Central City because King Shark has escaped and is still after The Flash, Wally and Barry are trying to deal with their relationship and Caitlin is slowly turning into Killer Frost. There are some seriously good special effects and computerizations going on between The Flash and King Shark’s but the clincher for the episode comes riiiiiight at the end. If you haven’t seen the episode, please skip ahead to the Arrow section, because there are spoilers up ahead:
ZOOM IS JAY! Well, not exactly, I don’t really know, but once Zoom comes through the breach back to Earth-2 with a dead Jay in his grips, he takes his mask off and has Jay’s face! The thing is with this show, you just can’t guess anything that’s going to happen because there’s alternate universes and time travel and anything is possible. Safe to say, my mind was blown, but now we have to wait till March 22 to get the next episode – damn you writers!
Arrow E15
Darhk reveals that he’s kidnapped William and wants Olli to step down from his Mayoral campaign and endorse Ruvé – and oh look, everyone knows about William now. Including Felicity. Who should have been one of the first people but oh well. Team Arrow have no idea where he is so they ask Vixen’s help. For all those out there that aren’t in touch with their comic book side (like me), she’s another DC superhero that uses a totem/necklace to “channel the spirit of any animal” which means that she can channel a gorilla and become super strong etc. Anyway, she locates Will, and of course Darhk beats them, so they decide to steal HIS totem that his giving his magic and destroy it. All in all, the team gets William back (he’s now a huge fan of the Green Arrow, stuff The Flash), they destroy Darhk’s magic, Thea is furious at Malcolm for being a jerk dad and telling Darhk about William, Samantha takes William far away and Olli makes him a video for his 18th birthday. BUT then, Felicity leaves Olli. And you know what the funny/awkward/ironic thing is? She has the microchip in her that would help her walk and just as she leaves her engagement ring on the table in front of Ollie, she regains the use of her legs, gets off her wheelchair and literally struts out of the apartment. Mum and I just looked at each other and shook out heads – one cannot simply be wheelchair bound for months and then get up and walk away, no matter what kind of high tech shit you got in you!
Legends of Tomorrow E06
Ok, first things first. I understand that Stephen Amell is a beautiful man (let’s be honest, he’s the reason I started watching Arrow), and it is hard to hide his natural gorgeousness but the makeup team really needs to get their shit together! In Arrow, we had to deal with three years of his terrible wigs in the flashbacks and in this episode, we had to watch him as an old man with one arm and let’s be honest, when you see what they’ve done to Olli, no one believes it. Ok rant over – this was a pretty cool episode which saw the team in Star City 2046 – the Green Arrow is John Diggle Jr (aka Connor Hawke), Deathstroke is Grant Wilson (son of Slade Wilson), everyone has left Star City, including Felicity and Smoak Enterprises but didn’t take everything with her. In order to save the damaged Waverider, part of the team go back to Team Arrow’s Bat-Cave to find the tech they need plus an old, one-armed Olli Queen. The team does their thing, Rory and Snart have a woring disagreement, Sara and Rip try to understand why both of them are willing to alter the timeline for their families and Palmer and Jacks fight for Kendra’s attention. In the end, all is well, Grant Wilson is killed and Star City is “safe”. It was a pretty cool episode that got more of the DC universe involved but also got you thinking about the things you would do for your friends and family.
The ones I haven’t mentioned: Scorpion E17 (Toby tells the team about him and Happy and they all fight gun-carrying, drug-transporting drones in the middle of a desert), Supernatural E15 (Sam and Dean’s childhood wrestling fantasies come to life), The Big Bang Theory E17 (It’s the 200th episode and we get to celebrate Sheldon’s birthday with a whole heap of guest stars, not as funny as I thought it would be though :/) and New Girl E08.
Hope you guys have a fantastic week, thanks for reading!
