Gotham S3 E3 ‘Mad City: Look Into My Eyes’

Gotham Season 3 is really beginning to heat up with Bruce’s clone, and older Ivy a new relationship for Jim, and the return of Lee, this season will be amazing. Barbara has a special guest at her nightclub, a wondrous hypnotist. The man hypnotizes a wealthy patron and truly takes over his mind.

The hypnotist intrigues Barbara because with his skill he can make people do absolutely anything. This man is none other then the villainous Jarvis Tetch, or the one and only “Mad Hatter”.

Bruce’s clone is starving and introduces himself as 5. 5 woke up in a lab a year ago. He wanted to meet Bruce as soon as he saw him. Alfred wants to get rid of the boy, and Bruce says not until they figure out what he is.

Jim and Valerie spent the night together and Jim is a little smitten. Barnes is happy that Lee is coming back to work for the GCPD. They see each other after such a long time and Lee is surprised. She is moving back to Gotham with her fiance and Jim is clearly a little crushed by the thought of working with his ex.

The man Tetch hypnotized wakes up to answer the phone, Tetch tells him that his home isn’t his anymore. He has the man kill his wife and then himself. This man clearly is insane as one would expect the Mad Hatter to be. He is looking for his sister Alice so at least he isn’t all bad.

Alice is renting an apartment and ends up affecting the landlord in some way. I’m curious what her power actually is.

The former mayor decides to take on his old position as mayor. Penguin waddles in and announces his candidacy for Mayor. He wants an emergency election and his mob is ready for him to win.

Bruce and Alfred are training as they usually do. 5 comes in and Bruce insists Alfred spar with him, 5 is able to hold his own against Alfred. When Alfred hits him he doesn’t feel an ounce of pain, this boy isn’t normal.

The Mad Hatter goes to see Gordon and ask him to find his sister. He is going to give Gordon double his usual fee for finding Alice. Of course bounty hunter Gordon is on the case!

Penguin has a pretty decent size election base. He wants to make Gotham safe again, similar to a certain United States Presidential candidate. i could definitely get behind Penguin as mayor as he really is just one of the best characters on the show. Penguin is then told the former mayor wants to meet with him.

Bruce is talking with 5 when Selina comes in, upset by the loss of Ivy. Bruce holds her hand and they have a sweet moment where she asks him for help.He tells her no, and she is hurt because this is the first time she has asked for help. 5 watches from outside the room and perfects a Bruce voice. There is more to this Bruce clone that is for sure.

Selina is looking for Ivy when Gordon meets up with her asking for help finding Alice. If she helps him then Gordon will look out for Ivy.Gordon goes to the last place Alice was seen and takes out the owner who knocks him hard on the head. Going to the hospital he meets Lee’s fiance. If he hurts Lee in anyway Gordon will deal with him.

Penguin and the ex mayor have a meeting and when Penguin looks like he is going to attack him his goons come out. But Penguin has even more goons of course.

Gordon finds Alice and when he tells her that her brother is looking for her she runs. Looks like the siblings don’t see eye to eye, obviously because he is insane.

5 cuts his hair to look like Bruce as his whole goal is clearly to take over his life. Bruce wakes up to find 5 gone and realizes he must go find him. Penguin heads to Arkham  to meet with the new man in charge and asks for a certain friend’s release.

At the nightclub, Tetch hypnotizes Babsy into being madly in love with him. When he rejects her she breaks a glass and pushes it close to his throat. Gordon reports to Tetch and they talk privately about the situation involving Alice. Tetch then hypnotizes Gordon into walking over to the building’s ledge. He tells Jim to step off the ledge when Alice appears, she shoots Tetch breaking his hypnotism. Though of course Tetch is able to get away to cause more trouble later.

The Riddler is released from Arkham to go and join Penguin as a part of his campaign.The evil dynamic duo are back together! Lee and her fiance Dr.Mario are on a date when he talks of Jim. Mario’s dad is one Carmine Falcone the old mob boss of Gotham and he walks in to join them.

Selina is sitting outside when 5 comes to see her, apologizing as Bruce. 5 is clearly going to be a big plot point of this season. I am excited for next week’s episode ‘New Day Rising’ where the Hatter comes back with a vengeance.

 

 

 

New Girl S6 E3 ‘Single and Sufficient’

Schmidt and Cece are going Glamping and realize they can’t just go with Winston and Ally. They decide to take Jess who invites her odd group of single friends.

Schmidt reads Nick’s story which he happens to keep in a big Ziploc. Nick wants his notes but Schmidt tells him he has no notes. He really thinks Nick’s story is brilliant. Ally comes back and jumps on Winston immediately.

Cece’s ex Robbie is the one who started off Jess’ single group and this just adds another layer of awkward. Jess and Robbie defend their single group and single life. The group really is just filled with “winners”. They decide to take a group picture of their single group.

Nick is psyched out by the blank page before him and Schmidt’s overconfidence him him. He can’t write a word of his story. He calls Schmidt and begs him for notes. With nothing coming from that he asks Winston to give him notes.

The single group is trying to enjoy their single life.Two of the members begin to cavort and Robbie goes to stop it. Robbie and Jess have a moment and clearly are going to be something.

Winston and Ally find that Nick’s story is brilliant beyond belief. They both found their sex to be just a little to much and take the scenic route. Robbie comes into the yurt where Jess Schmidt and Cece are talking about him. Robbie and Jess end up singing together and he actually has an amazing voice.

Nick calls Schmidt for notes, and Schmidt tells him he needs to be proud of his own work. Nick takes this to heart as he always does, what could come from this?

Jess and Robbie are brilliant singing together. Jess stops the song and the group ends up fighting. Robbie tells them all that he has feelings for Jess. Jess says she isn’t into a relationship right now. Jess is just totally in love with Nick.

Schmidt and Cece decide to go and make at least one pair of couple friends. Nick creates a character based on Schmidt and he is a villain. Schmidt is upset by this and wants to give Nick notes. Of course he’d want to give him notes as he feels insulted.

Jess goes out to read Nick’s novel and runs into Robbie. They share a table and clearly the sparks fly. Even though I haven’t watched Brooklyn 99 I am curious about next week’s crossover!

The Last Man on Earth- S3 E2The Wild Guess Express

After the crazy season premiere Todd hits the madman Pat with the A Team van. They find a house and go inside to find that it is Cher’s house, Cher is even still in her bed, dead of course.

Everyone minus Phil thinks they need to drive far away from the area in case Pat follows them. Phil disguises himself as four other guys and goes to look at Pat’s corpse. He decides to say a few words about their time together but still thinks he needs a proper burial. I mean it definitely is true, you don’t want a body that big laying out even with the world being so barren.

Phil goes back to report to the gang that Pat is dead and Todd is devastated to know he killed someone. Phil lies to Todd and tells him that Pat is alive but that he can’t tell anyone.Phil sets up the house to make it look like Pat is alive.

They go back to tell the gang and Todd makes Phil tell them Pat is alive. They all freak out and run out of the house trying to figure out what they have to do. Phil has once again set off a chain of events with his lies.

Gail goes to tell Melissa Pat is alive and she wants to head over there to kill him. Clearly killing Jon Hamm’s character has awakened a beast. I wonder how this is going to change her, she already is quite volatile.

Phil goes in to talk to Carol and tells her that Pat really is dead. Carol is happy that Phil was so selfless for his friend. They then make it look like Pat is watching them from afar on the beach. In the end Phil uses a bone saw to cut off “Pat’s” head.

Louis, Pat’s old ally is upset that Phil is continuing to lie. The gang hugs Todd who realizes he is going to have to live with his murder. Phil takes them back to the house and tells them what he did. They then see the boat is gone, so Pat really is alive after all.

I’m curious how they are going to deal with this new idea. Will Pat be a full season presence, or will he actually be killed off quickly? We have two weeks until we get more of this wonderful show with the third episode ‘You’re all going to diet’

The Simpsons S28 E2 ‘Friends and Family’

Smithers and Burns are off to the doctor and Burns needs to hide so no one thinks he is sick.  He is seeing a therapist and is about to talk about his anger. When he brings it up he yells “anger issues” for their session. He’s been seeing him for 70 years and soon kicks the bucket. Burns is quite happy to have outlived all of his older friends.

Marge remembers when they saw the therapist who died. Little did she know Maggie talked during it and since no one heard her, she said she’d never speak again. It is always funny seeing Maggie talk since she rarely does it being a baby and all.

Frink the egg-headed scientist is wearing a VR headset when he gets hit by Burn’s car. Frink gives Burn’s the headset and passes out. What could Burns want to do with this new  gizmo?

Burns is enjoying VR but besides one space adventure it is all porn. Burns  thinks he needs a family and ends up hiring the Simpsons besides Homer. He is happy to see his “family” and even creates home videos. Burns has them live in his guest house and says they will work for him for ten years.

Homer ends up having the time of life since he is living alone. He’s naked on the roof when he starts talking to a new neighbor who is also on her roof. She clearly has no interest in Homer but there is still a little tension.  Homer decides a man and a woman can just be friends but his decisions are never wrong right?

He gets dressed and hangs out with his new friend. They end up going out in a nice platonic relationship though all assume they are dating. This woman is his best friend because they are so similar, and he realizes how much he really loves Marge especially since she isn’t exactly like him.

Burns fires the Simpsons saying his life is better without a family. Homer’s new best friend Julia becomes a fight, when Homer acts like he really has feelings for her. Marge flips out. Marge apologizes to Homer, but Homer shows that Julia has taught him a thing or two about marriage that makes Marge happy.

Burns has his final fantasy which is his death. He then is in hell and he takes a selfie with the Devil, though the device isn’t plugged in, Dun Dun, Dunnn!

All around good episode of the Simpsons and I am excited for the next episode.

 

Big Bang Theory s10 E3’The Dependence Transcendence’

Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard are all working late at the lab. They have to finish their work in two months due to Sheldon and Sheldon wants to go home. He is always such a child, it is rather humorous.

Sheldon is upset with Leonard for being a tyrant. Penny decides to join Amy at a scientific style party. Howard is off to work all day and Raj decides to spend the day with Bernadette.

Sheldon is asleep and has a dream about the Flash offering him an energy drink. The first one is free as per usual when it comes to drug references. Quite humorous seeing the Flash on the show after there have been so many homages to the red speedster.

Penny and Amy arrive at the party and it is only them and an man who loved Amy at one point. It is interesting seeing how they let drama unfold in this show, and how the characters work so well with each other.

Raj and Bernadette are cleaning out the new baby’s room. Bernadette is obviously not totally happy about having a baby. Sheldon comes in after drinking an energy drink and he feels so energized it unnerves his friends.

Penny is bored out of her mind at this party, when Bert tells them that Amy is the most popular woman on campus. This of course changes her mind a little, as she sees a resemblance to her high school life. Amy is just thrilled to be popular.

In the lab Howard wants to take a break. Sheldon is tired after the energy drink dissipated. Sheldon is displaying signs of caffeine withdrawal, it is quite humorous to watch. I’m sure he is done with energy drinks now.

Raj and Bernadette are still hanging out. Bernadette is upset and needs Raj’s help. Bert is gushing about Amy and Sheldon. Raj and Bernadette go for a drive. Bernadette just wants to be excited for her baby but can’t.

Sheldon is upset with himself that he can’t figure out his part of the work. He falls asleep on Leonard. Bert sends off the ladies and tells them he loves both of them they run off. Raj calls his dad to ask for help. His dad makes her feel better hurting Raj in the process.

The guys tell the general they need more time to get this done and are able to get an extension. Though they leave right after to see a movie which puzzles the general. I am excited for next week’s episode ‘The Cohabitation Experimentation’ where Amy moves in with Sheldon.

Family Guy S15 E2 ‘Bookie of the Year’

Peter has is going to fair with the family. He is suddenly giving a tablet to an old Italian woman. It’s rather funny, as he begins to act like her son. At the Italian festival they meet Frank Sinatra Jr. They decide to start their own Italian restaurant in Quahog.

Chris gets angry and breaks a carnival game. Lois is troubled and begins talking to Peter. Peter is in the elevator with Beyonce and Jay Z and is troubled by their fight. Always so topical, even if it is after the event occurred.

Peter and Chis throw apples at cars and Chris hits the coach’s car. He wants him to join his Baseball Team. Of course Chris is happy to join the team which is surprising because Chris clearly isn’t into exercising.

Frank Stewie and Brian are at the home of their new restaurant and Frank tells them to go steal the chairs and tables from the other restaurants.  Rather humorous to think the son of the great Frank Sinatra would do this.

Chris earns Peter 100 bucks when he bets he will strike him out with another Dad.Clearly they are going to make a tidy sum off Chris’s arm. This can’t possibly end well.

Brian, Stewie, and Frank Sinatra Jr sing a song about their restaurant. Seth McFarlane’s voice is always just so good. The music in the show is also always on point.

Chris is making them a lot of money until Tom Tucker talks about his talent on the news.Now, the guys have to scramble to figure out how to keep  making money from Chris’ arm.

Frank is comping all the meals which means they are losing money. Of course he is doing this, he doesn’t care much about the money, he just wants a place for people to enjoy a good meal.

They can only make money if Chris takes a dive. When Lois finds out of course she is angered. The guys decide to deal with Chris’s arm and break it.

Frank, Stewie, and Brian’s restaurant goes under when they decide to make people pay for the food.  They turn off the light and then proceed to light the restaurant on fire.

The guys broke Chris’ arm and Peter is upset by the fact. He realizes he should have never bet on Chris’ games. He pitches a ball and breaks Quagmire’s arm. Chris ends up having all the players walk when he tries to use his left arm. Peter is just happy he didn’t have to pay any of the bets off.

Another good episode of Family Guy, filled with good jokes, a nice farewell to a long time celebrity guest star and a good musical number. Rest in Peace, Frank Sinatra Jr.

Vans creates Toy Story shoes!

OK this is cute. It appears that in celebration of Toy Story, Vans has decided to come out with feet gear that is themed after the beloved characters of the movie. And yes, they are available in both kids and adult sizes in case you are wondering…

You can rock it in either Woody’s boots in the style of high tops, or in glow-in-the-dark Aliens shoes… If you are a Buzz fan, you can pop those sneaks on the feets and show them off as well. Are you looking for a girlier look, then you got the Bo Peep style high tops that are pink with polka dots, unless you want the darker parts from the movie, you have Sid’s disfigured toys, which are convenient in the slip-on style.

These shoes, plus more, are available starting October 7^th, which is just a few days away, and will be available in Vans stores and online. I’m thinking that I may have to check out the glow-in-the-dark Aliens myself. ^_^

Sigourney Weaver to be in Marvel???

If you could imagine Sigourney Weaver as a character from Marvel, who do you think she would be? Thanos’ girlfriend, Lady Death, or The Wasp, Hank Pym’s lost wife? Hmm curious….

It seems this idea may not be to far fetched… The Weaver has admitted to being deep in binge watching of a certain genre of movies…. Marvel movies!!! Yet she is being extremely vague on to the reasons why… “I can’t tell you!” she exclaimed, after being pressed for answers to why the sudden interest in the superhero themed films, (as if that right there doesn’t tell us she is up to something.) Best known as the queen of Sci-Fi, this move to the super hero role won’t be to far off for her. Seeing she does amazing in the fantasy worlds of movies, I am sure, if she is planning on heroing out, she will rock this role for sure.

She is working on the next Avatar movies though, and other roles such as a character in the movie Assignment named Dr. Rachel Kay. Plus she has her head in those marvel movies. Let me know what characters you feel she may be good at. ^_^

Ben Affleck Reveals The Title Of His Batman Solo Outing.

While promoting his next movie, The Accountant, Ben Affleck has confirmed the long-rumored title for the solo Batman film.

“I think is going to be called ‘The Batman’ … at least that’s what we are going with now,” Affleck said to the Associated Press “I might change it, I think that’s about it right now, that’s all I got,” he said.

“We’re working on the script, the script is going well, I’m really excited about it and I assure you that when there’s anything that develops you’ll hear about it,” Affleck continued.

Ben Affleck is set to write, direct and star in The Batman. The film currently does not have a release date set. But it is rumored to land in theaters in 2018 as Warner Bros. set a release date for October 2018 for a yet-unnamed DC film, which is believed to be The Batman.

Lucifer SN2-EP2 ‘Liar, Liar, Slutty Dress on Fire’

Hello, Devils! As you know there was no episode last week due to the presidential debate. It’s been a long week but I’m very glad Lucifer is back this week, my Mondays are again complete Below is a quick recap of where we last left Lucifer on the 19th September.

SN2-EP1 ‘Everything’s Coming Up Lucifer’

We could see that Lucifer was clearly distracted by his mother’s escape from hell, while he and Chloe investigated the murder of a stand-in actress. Lucifer was convinced his mother was back to kill him and every lead he interpreted as a message for his mother. Chloe’s faith in Lucifer was tested by the new medical examiner, Ella. Amenadiel hopes to rein in his brother’s wild side as the both try to deal with the absence of Maze.

SN2-EP2 ‘Liar,Liar, Slutty Dress on Fire’

As we all know Lucifer (Tom Ellis) has monumental mommy issues, so when he comes face-to-face with mommy dearest Charlotte (Tricia Helfer), Lucifer has mixed feelings about her and her intentions on earth. Charlotte explains what has happened to her, but Lucifer suspects she is lying to him. Charlotte tries to convince Lucifer, that she is not on earth to harm anyone, however, Lucifer doesn’t buy her story nor does he trust his mother. Momma Morningstar is sporting her new flesh bag and is smoking hot, but she is one dangerous and no doubt a master of manipulation.

Chloe (Lauren German) and Dan Detective “Douche” (Kevin Alejandro) interrogate their daughter Trixie (Scarlett Estevez) over the maiming of her doll, in order to get the new doll that girl wants. Lucifer is amused and somewhat proud of the offsprings (Trixie’s) exploits and buy her the expensive doll she wanted. Obviously, Chole is not happy with Lucifer for buying the doll and tell him as such. I am still not convinced on the addition of the medical examiner Ella (Amiee Garcia), it really feels awkward and forced, she is clearly there to be “team God” but is we really need that?

Lucifer is having trouble calling Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside), and in the last episode, we saw that Amenadiel was starting to lose his powers. Is that part of the reason why Lucifer can’t call him? Amenadiel is researching something, which I am guessing has to do with the loss of his powers, when Dr Martin (Rachael Harris) approaches him and lets rip, she is hurt that he had lied to her about being a therapist, and she is used to her clients lying to her but not her colleagues and friend. But Amenadiel has big problems, he is losing his powers, and his wings are not looking very healthy at all, but why? Is it from what Maze (Lesley-Anne Brandt) did to save him, or is it because mommy dearest is in town?

Charlotte believes she has convinced Lucifer that she is harmless and he allows her to stay on earth, however as soon as he leaves the room she has a devilish smirk and an F U look on her face, but who is the F U too? Ex-husband or lucifer? Mommy dearest definitely can’t be trusted and she definitely has something brewing, I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of whatever Charlotte is brewing!
