SURVIVOR & AMAZING RACE 2025

 I almost fell asleep watching SURVIVOR last night. I think it was Savannah who won the Immunity idol. Again? I'm not so sure so have to watch the recorded series from last night.

Then what happened at the AMAZING RACE hosted by Phil Keoughan? They all "turned" each other  out of the competition so that each team could be "detoured." However, Jag & Jas who were turned and detoured arrived at the Pit Stop ahead of every teams. What happened to Tucker & Eric? They were not shown tasting variety of olives. The brothers Eric & Tucker were eliminated at the Pit Stop in Greece. 

Sometimes, each team have an agenda of their own to stop and stayed in that country or whether they have to continue or not. I think each team has a plan. It doesn't need to be in another country to win the whole competition because who knows what's next at the end of the tunnel? Better safe than never.

Tucker & Eric had won so many Pit Stop first arrival winnings in cash and trip  for two to other countries, maybe that's enough besides, what's really the point? GREECE is the original country of origin for the very first Olympic Games. WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES will be held in Cortina, Italy, however, the official rite of the Olympic Flames will be torched in Athens, Greece first, by tradition.

ALERT SYSTEM WAS TESTED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. The test was done throughout all TV Channels and Cellphones and Electronics Gadgets in CANADA.

JUSTICE

 It's not always politics the subject of entertainment on TV. There are too many TV SERIES such as: NCIS, FBI, FBI INTERNATIONAL, CSI, Reality shows: AMAZING RACE, SURVIVOR, BIG BROTHER,  TEACUP, FALLEN, etc.

When is FROM season begins? Why the suspense with this thriller?

TV SHOWS: THE VOICE, The Bachelor ( I don't watch it). 

Last night I watched the TV Series THE SHOGUN. This television series which is in Nippongo with English subtitles. I hate reading the dialogue down below the screen you know. However I still watched it for whatever reason the Feudalism in that time period during the reign of the Toranaga dynasty is something very "Creepy." You are a creep... you are a weirdo )))))))

The Toranaga Clan killed their own relatives for certain disagreement. When a certain tribe had lose the war, they bowed down to the winning clan's leader  and had hara-kiri to be beheaded after. 

L. Toranaga had his leadership known since age 12. Then when he was already an elderly with only one son to inherit his father's crown, the step brother came with a purpose which the L. Toranaga must accomplish and that turned his son for a suicide mission to kill his uncle. However the son failed and died. Toranaga surrendered to another clan's supremacy which the barbarian Englishman opposed. The rest of the Toranaga's officers followed what their Lord wishes except of Hiromatsu the bestfriend of Toranaga and close allies. He would rather do the hara-kiri than surrender to the other clan. Toranaga was still defiant and cruel that his own close friend had hara kiri and his own son beheaded him. WEIRD? That's right it is so very weird.

Would you rather fight and died fighting BE A HERO? Than kill yourself for what?

THE WEIGHT OF JUSTICE & THE WEIGHT OF REASON OVER EGO?

THE REASON & PURPOSE OF YOUR EXISTENCE ? Should not always be in vain not for your ego. You killed yourself for what purpose that claims? To kill yourself is a mortal sin. To kill for the purpose of  defending your life against tyranny, oppression, against the wickedness of evil is justified. Remember if the enemy is EVIL and evil the devil is the number one enemy of GOD therefore you are justified in every way, shape and form.

 MOVIES:

MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN. Shocks! What the hell is this movie. Bradley Cooper as an amateur photographer happened to watch and photographed group of black men trying to rob and abduct a female at the stairs at the subway. The photographer told the men to stop what they are doing because they are not only being photographed but there was a video camera at the subway station. The woman thanked the photographer and she boarded the train. Gruesome murder had happened and the photographer thought it is no coincidence so he was like a sleuth trying to find out what really happened until the very end and the ending is not what you'll like.

Caution: Too much violence and savagery

Have you seen FALLEN, yet? It's not a movie but a television series. Mentally handicapped are institutionalized in a secret Mental Hospital designed to experiment their mind capabilities in ESP and Telekinesis power.  Something new right?

There is one tv series I want to watch THE LAST OF US, filmed in Vancouver, BC. Sorry to say that we don't have HBO. lol

How about KILLER GRADES? Imagine your teacher asking you to take anxiety medication because he thought you are failing in class. Then until those 2 students end up dead and who could be the suspect?

There are too many television series that we are waiting and waiting for: BIG BROTHER, SURVIVOR, AMAZING RACE, FROM, IRREVERENT, what about THE WALKING DEAD? No TWD anymore eh?

Movies & Series

 I just heard that the local theatres, the cinema or movie houses in our small community of 50,000 had shutdown. Unbelievable! How that happened? It turned out it's only the Galaxy theater. The Landmark is still open. Sometimes its hard to believe what some people are saying. To see is to believe sometimes.

Why movie houses will close in the next future? Because of the many affordable wide flat screen TV measuring 55" to 75" maybe there is 100" wide TV with cinematic sense surround effect. With the new modern remote control that offers hundred channels and  you can press buttons to access free movies or rent newly released movies. 

Regarding free movies: Here are some of the movies I recently watched:

VATICAN TAPES. This movie has something to do with exorcism and the Anti-Christ.

FLIGHT 7500. Passengers aboard Flight 7500 encountered strange phenomenon in the sky while trying to find out what happened to the missing passengers one of whom died from lack of oxygen. There's more to it than meets the eye. You have to watch the real story. Don't like spoiling the whole story. Watch for it if you love mystery and suspense.

D-RAILED. Passengers wearing post-war costumes boarded a Mystery Murder Train. A seemingly "staged" fright mystery turned surreal and before they can even think right to escape from the train it was kind of too late. More mysterious events unfold until to the last scene.

NEW SERIES such as HYSTERIA, FROM on pause for now don't know when will it resume its next episodes.

While THE DAY OF THE JACKAL starring the talented, versatile actor Eddie Redmayne as the "Jackal" keeps surprising us with his bombastic approach to situation that question morality. The Jackal - who was a veteran British Army deployed in Afghanistan and had become a well decorated soldier, sniper. A sniper's mission is taking down only few targets as ordered by high ranking official. How he become an assassin was when he witnessed the brutal slay of Afghans family, clan, women and children when their troops were ordered to just take "one of the enemies alive." However, that's not the case as the massacre happened so fast and without remorse. Not following orders. That led Jackal to just take the side of that middleman who offered him and his one brother-in-arm to take the dangerous mission of being assassins by contract.

Remember what we had studied in Psychology (Hilgard/Atkinson) about what those soldiers had done in Vietnam? The PENTAGON had the war criminals prosecuted for the massacre of innocent civilians during the War in Vietnam.

 

HALO TV Series

 My latest favorite television series:

Mystery Loves Misery?

 BIG BROTHER (USA) hosted by Julie Chen Moonvez is finally over! It was Jag who won the big prizes and you wont believe that it was Cameron who is America's favorite house guest not Matt. Really? Oh well it's first time for Big Brother to have an East Indian American to win the title.

SURVIVOR (45) hosted by Jeff. Kaleb was out and the first one to be seated in the Jury Team. Next was Kellie booted off. Kellie can't believe that she was eliminated by the people whom she trusted. She will join Kaleb in the Jury. Bruce won the "Immunity" against Julie. 

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD started Sundays ago after TWD: DS had its finale. Madison Clark in the lead once again had met Troy whom she had a fight in previous seasons. She met other cast of characters by accident, such as Victor Strand who happened to had a relationship with a younger man who ha a boy who is just kind enough to accept the gay relationship between his father and Strand who is in disguised not wanting the father and son know who he really is. Next episode, Madison's face to face with the girl (already a woman) who killed his son. It was such a dramatic episode and don't have to tell you what really happened. You have to watch for yourself. Next episode is more unraveling stories of the little girl Tracy who happened to be the daughter of Troy. Victor noticed the necklace Tracy was wearing and he thought that Tracy could lead them to know where Alicia is. Wonder where Alicia? Do you believe Troy when he said that he killed Alicia? Mystery, mystery loves misery.

A politician was heard THEY ARE JUST PLAYING A GAME!

Really? What kind of wicked game? 

Is that game sort of tricks?

 

 

Irreverent

 From Midwich Cuckoos to The Last Resort to Lazarus project and this month... THE IRREVERENT television series that make us tune in to our TV every Sunday at 6 pm on Showcase. Why not? It's something unusual, the story or plot is somewhat brand new as in haven't seen any story like it. There is no similarity with other movies, shows or series  I already watched.

THE IRREVERENT is a story of a criminal mediator named Paulo (Colin Donnel) who lives in Chicago, USA. However due to an anomaly he got involved in a criminal act, he was able to escape, boarded a plane and happened to met a man wearing the black robe, he's a priest.The priest is Mackenzie was talkative and friendly, chatty and wants to engage Paul in every opportunity to find out who he is. They got drunk but the priest was not drunk enough and when Paulo woke up all his belonging were taken by the supposedly priest who is a thief. Mackenzie left his cassock (black robe) the only clothing he can wear and a pair of hotel's slippers. The next scenes were, finding the village somewhere in Queensland where Mackenzie is supposed to be working as the village's clergyman. Paul on the way to the village, driving the black hearse, being sleepy and tired had an accident and hit the electric post and he ended up in jail. The female police officer Piper, didn't waste no time but shoot mugshot of Paulo and jailed Paulo, it seems that she is not convinced of Paulo's identity as a "clergyman." That was the first episode. The next episodes were sort of more disturbing, complicated and mostly damage control, good that Cameron & Daisy are on his side to help him after Paulo helped them from being punched by two thugs when Daisy accidentally got hold of the box of sealed raw tobacco leaves.

As a mediator, Paulo was very experienced in this kind of problem...he is a negotiator. Only few hours of how to solve difficult situation. It's the role of highly skilled individuals, witty, informative and maybe had been a psychologist/psychiatrist or master of behavioural science and got knowledge for damage control. Where Paul is getting his finance in all those expenditures? I first thought all his money were stolen from him by Mackenzie. You'll find that out in next episodes: Louts & Fishes + 3rd episode: Ashes To Ashes.

Every episode of the IRREVERENT is complicated. It's like a raging volcano is always throwing or hurling molten rocks and whether to shield yourself or just hit the rock back to the angry volcano.

Where The Spotlight Is

 Do you like LAZARUS PROJECT? 

What is Lazarus Project? I don't really know what Lazarus Project until I watched every episodes. Story of George engaged to Sarah, a school teacher. The story progressed to ordinary day to day repetition of their lives and get repeated every JULY 1. It is more like a "Groundhog Day" movie but with twisted dark sides. It's not a comedy movie. George tried so hard to keep himself sane and aware of what will happen the next day, day after and then met other cast of characters who are also suffering the same conviction of having to re-live the same agony of having their loved ones dying or died instantly unable to control the event and situation, too chaotic to even remember. 

Last week's episode first thought that's the end. That could be the best ending or finale because it was a happy ending. Everything was back to normal and everybody come back to life once again. But you know the idea of LAZARUS is ... it's a the life of the legendary LAZARO the very first human who died who was touched by Jesus Christ and had his first resurrection, born again. 

Well, maybe that is not what Lazarus Project is according to the writer of that mysterious/suspense series. That's why more episodes are being unraveled on Thursday night - Showcase, 6pm.

Why every JULY 1 their lives are repeated again and again? What's the big deal?

Hmm, that's the  question. JULY FIRST is CANADA DAY. 

Hmm, weird or what CANADA is now in the world's spotlight.

???

 So we waited. My daughter and I waited for FIRE COUNTRY television series last night (Friday night). I even take an afternoon nap just to make sure I can watch FIRE COUNTRY at 9 PM. 

Do you know what happened? The tv series of Fire Country had been blocked by that guy from SWAT tv series. So we waited for a while and watch another show on another channel and then returned to Global TV Ch for Fire Country. Once again that SWAT guy whoever he is blocked the screen. Is that weird or what? What the hell that guy is doing on the screen of our TV. That's hellish BS! What the heck! If he is Tom Cruise it's ok that his face is plastered on the screen of our television. Grrrr!!!!!!Something wrong with that channel station not with our TV. The rest of the television channels are doing alright except that channel.

You know what? They didn't air the FIRE COUNTRY because that stupid whoever he is blocked the screen of Global TV Channel.

Totally weird and totally strange. Then today, SEAL TEAM had it that new or latest episode of this series had MAX THIERIOT (Clay Spenser as SEAL TEAM Sniper) Clay died of what? After his leg been amputated? I think it's a matter of "game of thrones." Territorial boundary or something? That happened when jealousy or some group of people are envious about somebody's performance or could be there is that "gap" between those guys whatever it is. Obviously in SEAL TEAM they seemed to be in favor of Ray who was acting like he owns the series and the story. Supposedly when SEAL TEAM premiered long time ago, the story revolved around Jason and his family and he has control of the Seal Team as the Master Chief. Then Clay played the young sniper recruit for the Team, always saving their asses from being blown away by explosives so many times. Ray was the dark side character who amongst the character in the story that deals with inner demons and was captured and brutally been subjected to torture.Ray and his wife in the script given to them on being envious about Jason and Ray's wife thought he could be the next master chief. Dudes, Jason and Clay suffered too from all the torture/torments and PTSD. However, it seems that the producer and maybe scriptwriter focused on Ray for the dark sides and villainous act or the "mole" that for others maybe interpreted as heroic? Wow! Wrong. I want the investigation of Ray on why he needs to act alone in his vengeance and risking the lives of all the SEAL TEAM in this series. They failed to asses his character and personality and over all psychological impact on how operations are carried out thus implicating the whole SEAL TEAM: Jason, Clay, Sonny and the rest of the Team from further embarrassment and unauthorized raid and death of those men who tortured Ray and why he wants those people dead, that maybe because he is not who he is? Well, it seemed that the script is only focused most on Ray rather than Jason, Clay and Sonny. Obviously the viewers could feel the script is not going further, farther and actors in tv series also felt that and that maybe is the reason why Clay (Max T.) would rather be OUT of SEAL TEAM. Maybe same thing with Jason who played in the long running tv series BONES. 

In fairness to the on-going showbiz gossip, MAX THIERIOT (Clay Spenser) was asked to play? or was hired to be the director for SEAL TEAM. That his part or role as "Clay" was cut short because he was working as the "director" for some episodes. Hmm what a spinoff right? Let us just clear the clouds that he became an executive  producer for FIRE COUNTRY his new tv series. He is multitasking and he cannot serve too many masters at the same time, let alone have time for his family. So, that's the story.

Supply & Demand

 Did you watch the latest episode NEW HAUNTS of THE WALKING DEAD? What's life in the Commonwealth after the zombie apocalypse? What kind of humans who founded the Commonwealth?

The New Haunts opened with a Halloween inspired village for the kids to enjoy. Carol once again showed how good she is as the baker known for her cookies specialty. She's that keen observant as usual observing everyone most especially Ezequiel who was waiting for that much needed surgery. Curiosity had her snooping for his medical records and was busted by the doctor/surgeon brother of  who turned one of the Commonwealth officials, dramatic scenes followed asking whether he could have Ezequiel on priority surgery list.  Within 30 days of being admitted to the Commonwealth, Daryl and Espinoza were chosen to be one of the guards being trained by Mercer. They also trained Sebastian against zombies but almost got bitten and instantly Daryl came to the rescue and use his crossbow arrow to save Sebastian. What's with Sebastian? He is the spoiled young man who tried to impress his mom who is the leader of the Commonwealth. 

A gala was held and expensive wines were served. Wines donated by Carol. The cast of characters dressed in their best gowns and formal attires for men. Princess wearing a crown made of shells tried to make an acquaintance with Mercer and got her invited inside the gala. The Commonwealth leader was having her speech and praising her deceased husband the founder of whatever, blah, blah and suddenly Tyler grabbed one of the female guest and threaten everyone to be heard of his plea, whatever that is. A scene that is questionable in the first place. More blah-blah and later on Daryl caught Tyler and he took him to Sebastian and entered the gala room proudly as if he was the one who caught Tyler. Hmm, seems like trying to impress his mother once again. 

Anyway, you know that Carol cannot put up with all the cliches' of the pompous display of formality and elitism in post apocalyptic world. They had enough of so many dramatic sequences of how those humans had done in the past such as those group of cult movement whose motive actually was taking them in as part of the food chain. They cannot be just lusting on expensive wines. There's not enough food. Where they get their supply of beef, pork and poultry? They don't go fishing and there's no land with wheat? Where the supply of food coming? 

Only few episodes left. Rumors had it that this is the FINAL SEASON. How the hell that happened? NEW HAUNTS is just the second episode. 

Oh well, it's been 11 years to 12 years of  THE WALKING DEAD and those very long years the zombies are already been smashed in the head or just that the world must go on in its normal existence.

Besides, Ariel might came into the picture and Ursula leading the lead into villainous underwater consequences and all the sea creatures get nudge and swab with q-tips.

Toxic Environment in the Film Industry?

 MAGNUM P.I. had its premiere episode last week for Autumn season. I first thought their television series was cancelled because Perdita (Higgins) was enamored with the EI doctor and they settled in Africa. But to shorten the story, Higgins turned out being "used" for the purpose of  what could be the scriptwriter had in mind eh? I am not the scriptwriter of MAGNUM P.I. Anyway, Higgins will return to Hawaii to team up with his Magnum Private Investigator buddy and it will be a beginning of more explosive action.

But wait...speaking of explosions...there are more explosive stories in MACGYVER

series. Whatever happened to MacGyver being cancelled for what and why?

I couldn't believe something that very, very interesting, so amazing and incredible stunts from the lead actor/action star LUCAS TILL

had that show/series cancelled? 

Really?! I couldn't believe it. Could it be that they experienced so much fires and smokes in the explosions and had them sick for quite sometime.

That could be. Or the tear gas and those bugs? 

There are television show/series where actors and stuntmen are being used to dealt with inexplicable and dangerous harm. Some of them are paid not good enough to do those hazardous stunts and it's not worth of their time and effort. They are becoming the deplorable. Every human is not deplorable. Exploitation is also not appropriate and most of all the Maslow's concept doesn't fit in all aspects of cinematic investment. When the environment becomes too toxic a rapture seems to be the best exit.

 It's hard to believe but I wish the producer of MACGYVER will soon change their mind and begin with new challenging episodes. Hey, competition in a very competitive world of television series or movies made for tv is the best option not to be idle in Hollywood. Keep on working Mac. No love interest in that series cuz all those women as in Desi & Riley are your best friends? 

Add another female counterpart, a female MacGyver. ? I wonder who we should pair Mac with? Who's the hottest woman in Hollywood? That's what it is in Hollywood, it's hard to find who is real straight. How about Taylor Swift? lol

  

Personality Of Weirdness

 FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. Episode: WELCOME TO THE CLUB. This time it was Alicia Clark & Victor Strand who were put to the test by Virginia. How to get rid of those zombies inside the warehouse? Many have tried and failed but Victor & Alicia found it easy way out. When zombies are "cleared" like animals (cattle, sheep and goats) from the barn out, one by one in the slaughter gate. It's about skills and that also made Morgan Jones attained that status. By the way, Lennie James directed this episode "Welcome To The Club." Who should learn the skills? Charlie and the sister of Virginia. Alicia Clark has earned her own skills in this series. However, Virginia is only interested in Victor Strand (Colman Domingo). Victor gave the necklace to Alicia and said that "he wants somebody who can look at him eye to eye."  WEIRDO! What he meant by that? Just sing Radiohead's song. Ha ha ha!

The HOUSE, MD also returns to its regular time slot. It's been a marathon series. Two episodes where Dr. House showed some feeling of remorse. First, when he was trapped inside a "contagion" room beside a dying man who contracted that viral smallpox. It turned out that the "allergy causing death" was viral and deadly to one patient only because of his open wound. It seems that the other resident doctor has better vision than most of them unlike other doctors who are so quick to judge and bluntly have that quick diagnostic report faster than the diagnostic of symptoms. Sure, it is always necessary to check vital signs and sharp vision on what you can SEE, perceive to not misdiagnose and have that unnecessary operation AND MEDICAL PROCEDURE. Why DRUGS or PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES do not work properly anymore? Are they all placebo or just plain FAKE DRUGS?

There was that operation already on-going in one episode when a woman who was in distress thought to have been abused and showing signs of mental disorder. For whatever reason, a lobotomy is about to happen. Dr. House already drilled her head and the blood coming out from her head when one doctor told him to stop and Dr. House stopped. I think her BP is too high and stroke might happen if they continued the operation. This is the weirdest of all operation. What will happen next? More dialogues here & there while the patient was left hanging for her life waiting for the doctors/surgeon's next move. Later on before the episode ends, the patient survive but experienced hallucination, illusion and delusion, her vision is worst than ever and have to explain to her husband that she has schizophrenia. She has dual personality? A world of her own, seeing unusual scenes within normal boundaries and how you can treat those patients having weird perceptions of everything. If its genetic there is nothing that you can do. No cure. If the operation on her head was a contributor for additional disorder aside from other malady then you can sue the doctors. Or the medication is the cause of such disorder then you have to consult a lawyer and have a thorough research on how many people are suffering from such disorder caused by certain medication and that may lead to class action lawsuit.

Did you know that too many writers have those disorder and how they put use their talent to proper use is through the medium sort of  fantasy, FICTION AND SLASHER NOVELS & MOVIES.They have wild imaginations, only them they can fathom at first but when used in the movie industry makes it more believable that there is something beyond their hidden talent that are strange but very useful in such a way that you or everyone can learn from them. Abstract in many forms is an art. 3D animation is by product of  such hidden talent including fractal imagery. I think it's more of a skill than a disorder. Too many normals that are so boring nowadays that people with schizophrenia turnout to be cool and fun to be with. I wonder how you will react with human beings having and suffering from multiple personality? Watch James McAvoy in his portrayal of having 24 multiple personalities in the movie GLASS.

In much later episodes, Dr. House encountered  those illusions, hallucinations and delusion that's why he asked the help of a psychiatrist and was having treatment at the mental hospital. He saw dead people, he was functioning at the low level of his life, he was very depressed, he was feeling unloved and how many times he committed suicides? Just by taking prescription drugs taking them like a cocktail as if it is his tic tac pills enough for him to get over dose and when he can no longer take the pain he electrocuted himself. He survived. Do you think he should practice medicine? He continued to work when he should have been fired or he should have quit but because he had a relationship with Lisa then probably it's whom you know what you know theory best applied to such situation. Anyway, Dr HOUSE is the lead character of this medical series and HOUSE is entitled HOUSE because the STORY revolves around him and the other doctors: Dr. Wilson, Dr. Chase, Dr. Foreman and other female doctors are just flavor of the icing to his cake.

TV SERIES

 Whew! No HOUSE tv medical series today... i wonder why. lol. I was waiting for the next episodes. Darn it. I hope they didn't ban that series eh? LOL.

Tonight's the night finale sort of HWARANG. Waaaahhhh!!!! I wanna cry. It was one of my favorites Korean drama/action series and it will end tonight. Ji Dwi ascended to the throne as King Jinhyeung and was supported wholeheartedly by the Hwarang and the enemy Yongshe was taken out from the Kingdom of Silla for his wrongdoings including the lady-in-waiting who found to be a traitor serving tea with poison for the queen of Silla. Good that Dog Bird finally decided and accepted his fate not to compete with King Jinhyeung, and instead had the love of his life Ahro by his side and King Jinhyeung heartbroken by their relationship cannot untie the knots would just settle to be the king and have the hwarang by his side instead. Clever! I don't know if that's the happy ending for the many viewers worthy of being a real happy end? Be the judge and watch HWARANG series  until it ends.

ANG SA IYO AY AKIN (Filipino drama series). Ellice had a vehicular accident and survived however as soon as he was out of the hospital, she decided to return to her work at her own company to the surprise of Marissa Pineda and all the employees of the company. A surprise meeting was held and Ellice emphasized that the financial anomaly happened during at the time when Marissa was working in behalf of Ellice who at that time, Ellice was recuperating from all the malady of miscarriage, then when she had her difficult labor, when Hope was terminally ill but miraculously recovered. Ellice looked furious, mad as hell that the company's financial burden happened when Marissa started working at her company and another third party was involved thus, Marissa is doing money laundering. However, shocked as everyone at the conference room, Marissa managed to cool down and asked Tuti her personal secretary to present or show her own documents that were already been checked by the BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue), this time it was Ellice who was shocked and double shock when her own uncle (the former financial analyst-controller of the company whom Ellice fired from work) arrived at the meeting. Tonight's the night to find out what ever scandal is about to happen. ?

FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. The premier episode of this apocalyptic series for this season last Sunday: The End Is The New Beginning. I was unable to recognize Morgan Jones (as Lennie James). His beard is so thick and this episode is only meant for his survival. How he survived from zombies? The zombies kind of never want him at all. The zombies are not too hungry or he has immunity. What happened to Alicia Clark and the rest of the cast? In this episode, Morgan was being followed by a bounty hunter summoned by the tyrant Virginia. The hunted becomes the hunter and the bounty hunter's head was placed in the square box and that's what Virginia received in the middle of the road. Morgan Jones left the last scene with the horse owns by the stranger who died trying to protect him from the bounty hunter. There's not much cast of character here in FTWD but they have SWAT truck, horses and look at that huge boat, is that a boat or submarine on the shore? 

THE AMAZING RACE 2020 hosted by Phil Keoughan has started last Wednesday. From California to Trinidad & Tobago. One team was eliminated from that leg of the race.To be continued next week.

BIG BROTHER 22 ALL STARS. Memphis was evicted from BB HOUSE. The remaining contestants are Cody, Nicole, Christmas, and Enzo. Tyler joined the jury team. Kaysar had a clue on the next battle would be in the form of  a giant chessboard, a game he played before in BIG BROTHER: The Knight Moves.

TGIF. No Macgyver series. No movie to watch. Life goes on.

Too many reruns.

Q & A

Nothing much to talk about or write at this hour unless if I'm provoke. Ha ha ha! It's Wednesday once again and tonight is the continuation of SURVIVOR on double elimination round. I don't know if this game/contest still got the prize of $1 Million dollars. Person of interest or persons you think will win at the end were already booted off. So nobody's safe in there. It's more like a "theme" generated in BIG BROTHER that nobody is safe to win. No news yet about BIG BROTHER CANADA or USA.

EMERGENCE. Story about Piper who is actually an AI or Artificially Intelligence creation but differently created from the original movie AI who can eat and drink. Piper is not just an AI, not a doll, she can eat real food. She can change the mental program and VTR or virtual reality process in her mind can be controlled and uncontrolled by Emily who is more than evil. Yeah people evil and wicked people are in every television series now.

SEAL TEAM. Jason finally met his doctor and what could be the result? Is he suffering from PTSD of he needs a hip or joint replacement. What could be?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Truth of that matter is experienced by hundred thousands of Canadians. It's hard to believe that surgery for hip replacement, torn ligaments, rheumatic arthritis, inflamed joints, so many problems with leg injury. Canada is the land of the "Fallen." There should be a hospital intended for orthopaedic problems only. Why this kind of injury, malady and severe pain? The kind of work imposed for many workers are intended for horses. They must carry heavy weights that their bodies cannot hold. Heavy work. Hard manual labor. You want to work like a horse? Horses gave up on such heavy work, how about humans? When will you say STOP and say NO for hard labor. Hard labor with low wages. For ROBOTS. For robota. Back breaking bones? Backaches and pains? Why all these torture? It's not only in the military where workers are forced to work like animals. You can see these workers working in building houses, demolition and renovation, lifting heavy concrete slabs, lifting loads of logs, wood pieces, bricks and other heavy tools and equipment, lifting boxes, appliances and furniture. Worse if they inhaled asbestos. All hardwork but paid with wages only rats would be happy. It's unfair. Really unfair in the blue collar job. However, with the white collar job, they can only afford their suits, nothing else. Expensive suits! Wow! They looked so clean and wealthy though. Not being a bully here, just want you to know what is real and what is not real.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


There are many TV Series that we never seen or cancelled maybe, such as:

Designated Survivor
Blindspot
MARVEL Agents of SHIELDS

While NCIS keeps coming back and forth with replays. Ziva Davis returned but with a personal vendetta. Next, I don't know what really happened to this long running series. My daughter's the only one watching it at home. There must be something in it that keeps her away from the computer and have that long vigil watching the reruns of NCIS.

FBI series. there is always a new plot or story for FBI to be unearthed by Zeeko Zaki and Missy Peregryme.

OMNI has stopped featuring Filipino drama series after that long drama tele-novella CRUEL LIES
starring Rhian Ramos. 

Another new series BATWOMAN played by Ruby Rose who sometimes looked like the female version of  Justin Bieber. I wonder if they are related. She could be Rhian Ramos. lol. j/k Pag nakatalikod.

As usual replays or reruns haunting our TV with BOURNE SUPREMACY (Matt Damon).  Sometimes with TAKEN (Liam Neeson). It's more like on and on and over and over again.
Why the frequent returns of these movies? Are they the most requested movies by television viewers?
Well, that's good too. I would rather watch reruns of Matt Damon's movies over and over again  instead of wasting my time and energy on watching portuguese men of war. OMG! Too many pirates!

Too many millions of movies out there. I hope the television provider knows that TV viewers are paying religiously and must feature more choices of programs/series/shows and movies that everyone could agree.

THE WALKING DEAD's season finale is about to come next Sunday. They just started last month and they have their last episode for this season? Wow! What's next? FEAR THE WALKING DEAD?
What happened to Morgan? Was he saved from being bitten by zombies?

We need more unpredictable series on TV programs. Something I wont be able to guess.

SERIES

Dancing With The Stars is a 2 hour episode. Dancers had to dance two dance sequences. For professional dancers that could be relaxing and sort of just natural but for the non-dancers that's value added pressure. Hanna Brown's dance expertise was seen in the premiere episode of DWTS with dancepartner Allan who is also her dance instructor. She should had garnered 10 points each from the judges but during the very first beginning episode of such show nobody gives that points until each teams had danced so many dance sequences, style and categories. You have to prove the judges that you can also dance salsa, tango, tango foxtrot, chacha, pasa doble, etc. Then you have Len Goodman who has keen eyes on your legs, dance steps, and how the rhythm of the song, how the beat of the music should impact the dance as in timing with your dance steps. One of the female dancers had that right timing with the music and her steps coordinate with the rhythm of the song. That's what they are looking for in each team.

Anyway, changing channels because PRODIGAL SON was in another channel. The "Jesus of The walking Dead, Tom Payne is now a lead actor in this latest, new series "Prodigal Son." Tom plays the son Malcom, to a father who had a grave secret being unravelled while his father was in maximum security mental hospital. Malcom is a profiler and works for a police department investigative unit. The episode last night was one of those horrendous/horrible situation when the film crew were gathering information and recording every seconds of the interview and then another mental patient (who happened to be an avid fan) escaped and killed the guard and wants to seek attention from the female reporter. The camera man added him in the film recording while he was there outside behind the door with glass window. It was sort of a flash, without warning the mental patient had the cardkey to open the locked door and gave the camera man a whip of a machete. ? Where he got the big knife? In mental hospital? So weird!

What happened at the GOOD DOCTOR? I think those surgeons should wear eyeglasses. No amount of light will make them see the veins and other internal organs once the blood flows inside the "site" of the operating body. In actual hospital operation, surgeons mark the surface of the abdomen where surgeon's scalpel should start the cut. But before that a scrub of  orange dye is visible (don't know what it is, maybe the color of  (liquid) lotion anaesthesia). I don't know why Dr. Murphy has to apologize to the nurse when nurses should be knowledgeable when it comes to the "operation procedure." Nurses had their residency in hospitals just like doctors. Dr. Murphy should have said that forceps should be given to doctor in 45 angle or open not close because he was wearing surgical gloves and to open the pair of forceps could take time (sometimes forceps are snapped tightly like to open it sort of like fighting or God knows what will happen to the surgeon's hand or that pair of  forcep might land down inside the open stomach). Murphy told the nurse to get out of the operating room. OMG! It's because the nurse was yelling to him "damn it, accept it." All what nurses at the operating room is to hand over medical instruments. That's it. That's their duty and responsibility. If that nurse is an AH she should have been fired. Dr. Marcus (Hill Harper) didn't reprimand Murphy because he is a surgeon and nurses should follow what is being asked of her. However, the head surgeon whoever she is (Dr. Audrey Lim) felt that Dr. Murphy should apologize to the hardheaded nurse who doesn't accept apology because she thinks she is smarter than the doctor. She doesn't want to hear an explanation and the story of forceps from 18th century history. lol.  FGS! Fire the nurse. She should have known that forceps technique long time ago in 4 years of Nursing schooling whatever. Question: Have you seen a real forceps? How you snap open forceps? They are not created like pair of scissors. Dr. Murphy follows a procedure by the book and doctors and surgeon should follow the same thing because that's how it used to be to minimize time, energy and usefulness, flexibility in the OR. So I think the nurse should have been fired.

At least, Dr. Murphy was successful in his first operation without the nurse. You have to remember the most important persons in the OR is the patient first, then the surgeon.

In another operating room, Dr. Melendez and his team struggled to save the pregnant woman who was in a very serious condition and whether to continue the operation will be a 50-50 chance of survival. However, the pregnant woman's decision to save the baby (23 weeks old) jeopardized her life. She died. The premature baby was now confined inside the incubator.

Dr. Glassman still is the president of the hospital and newlywed to the hospital canteen clerk. However, due to her kindness giving free coffee to customers, she was fired. She asked help from her husband to employ her at his clinic as her secretary. The doctor was reluctant to accept her however due to her cunning manipulation the husband/doctor might accept her or may be not. ? remember she owned a licensed gun in her drawer.

Who's Really EVIL ?

OMG!!!!! There's already a WHAT IF Science discovery in another website. Okay. that's fine.
My WHAT IF is just my normal, regular "what if imagination." LOL.

EVIL television series is such a blockbuster. Powerful grip not to miss every episode. Mind-boggling episode. You will always tune in on what is next, the next after. It's not really a continuation of what happened from last episode but each episode is a different story.

Kristen (Psychologist mom with 4 younger daughters and with grandma who is acting like a teenager). In pilot episode, Kristen had bout with deadly nightmares after she had interview with a demon-possessed convicted murderer in prison, the devil appeared in her dream and the next night the nightmare continued and the devil has a name. Yup. George's the devil, the demon. Then one of the daughter also had seen the demonic creature. Then next episode, Kristen, David and Ben (co-workers) were called to find out the truth about how a high school athlete student died and then came back to life at the morgue and how an angel was seen through the camera lens. They don't know how that possible and how to explain miracles. Next episode, a nine year old boy was locked inside his room as he was grounded because he's trying to kill his own family. They thought the boy is crazy or has mental disorder or possessed of some kind. However, when they interviewed him, he seems normal or just that he is just without remorse or lack empathy. One of them tried religion on him and the boy became overt religious, praying and showing some form of kindness and being helpful at home. Then at one time the "priest" or David the priest had a visit to check on the boy,  right by the swimming pool, the boy was kind of playing it coy. When David Acosta looked at what the boy is staring at he was shocked. The baby was bundled in clothing and blanket floating on the swimming pool. Right there, it was sort of adrenaline rush, David rescued the baby and saved the baby from drowning. CPR had saved the baby. The demonic possessed boy was never seen again after. Next episode, Halloween. Kristen was called by David to witness another demon-possessed individual. The priest was doing exorcism at the woman who they thought was suffering from schizophrenia. Kristen managed to change the priest's holy water with tap water. The woman was acting strange even if the water was changed, however they thought the woman was just a schizo not demon-possessed. David told the woman was seeing the same thing as what he is seeing (perception), whatever and the woman calmed down and her red eyes (color) had vanished could be the result of having been sprayed with the "water." David and the demon-possessed woman was probably been prescribed or using the same kind of drugs and the side effects are terrible. Probably hallucination is so severe.

WATER. Something in the water that is extremely TOXIC. ?
While Kristen was busy with her witnessing demonic possession her daughters were playing "storytelling" unravelling with the neighbor Brenda who turned out to be not really the Brenda that the grandma knows. It was an impostor wearing a mask and running the show for the kids. The stranger asked the girls if they want to kill their mom. The kids were surprised why that kind of question. They went to the basement and discovered it has a huge hole on the wall, at the basement of the house!!!!! The masked girl asked again what and how they gonna kill their mom. One of Kristen's daughter answered she's gonna kill her with kisses. Later on she continued with her storytelling looking at the huge hole. One of the girl's went upstairs.


The storytelling continued in the cemetery wherein one of Kristen's daughter was asked by the masked girl "Brenda" to lie down on the empty grave site for burial so that they can hear the continuation of her story and so that they can see her face.  Weird as it is that those kids just keep on following the stranger they know nothing about. Would you follow your stranger friend up to the cemetery just to know her secret? Brainwashing is just like that. Adults sometimes are brainwashed into following something that doesn't make sense. There are too many nonsense happenings everywhere yet why some people follow them? You know that it's risky and dangerous yet you are subservient to follow the rules that will kill you. So, that's absurd insanity then.

(( TO NEVER FOLLOW ANYBODY THAT WILL LEAD TO RISKING YOUR OWN LIFE OR ANYBODY's LIFE BECAUSE THAT's INSANITY)).

By the way,  that very huge hole at Kristen's basement is really creepy. I wonder where that hole leads to? No wonder why George keeps coming back to their house. Maybe Rose the VR star of the quija board will also penetrate through that hole. Who knows? Maybe Brenda is actually the quija board star. Guessing game starts now.

TV SERIES & Shows

BIG BROTHER Finale has ended with Michie (Jackson) as the winner, but it seemed he was not happy. I wonder why. lol. Of course we know because all the moves and all what happened and transpired were recorded by cameras inside the BB House.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE premiered last Saturday. Woody Harrelson as special guest and Billy Ellish as guest performer.

SURVIVOR had started its premiere last week and continues tonight. Boston Rob and Sandra acting as Survivor monitors.

DANCING WITH THE STARS. Too many famous stars in this show. However, I only watch this show because of Hanna B. and James Vander Beek.

THE GOOD DOCTOR. Shaun Murphy was reluctant to have another date with the "pathologist." I don't know why he is not paired with Lea (Paige) instead, they were just playing roles as "room mates." As usual, Dr. Murphy's take on patients were seen as "mechanical." The surgeons' works at the hospital are seen as miraculous. Claire Brown was adamant to have her mother live with her in her apartment. Look at that woman who was so kind and compassionate with those patients in the hospital but not very affectionate with her own mother. What a shame! Dr. Andrew was thankful to Dr. Murphy's accommodation that he was learning  " different kind of medical procedures" mostly experimental. Untapped and very challenging.

TERROR: Infamy. Chester stayed with Luz at the remote area in the province. They got married in a Catholic Church. The yurei assumed another life form and attended the wedding. Luz's father was missing and Luz's grandmother performed spirit calling ritual and Chester was able to warp in to where his brother was. It turned out Chester was Taizo in another life and his brother who was supposedly been left in the orphanage was depressed and they played balls. Whatever. Suddenly, another spirit came in, it was the yurei who turned out was actually their mother. WTH. So, that's the reason why the yurei keeps following Chester. In the military camp, the officer provided a free party for everyone but one of the Japanese clerk/interpreter got drunk and she was abducted and tied down on the chair at the basement and she was interrogated by the military officer. For whatever reason the lightbulb on the ceiling keeps flickering, the light was on and off. The female clerk informed him of the yurei but the officer doesn't believe her and flipped her hand, he was to inflict more injury but then the female Japanese clerk was able to untie her hands and managed to hit hard the officer and fell down on the wet ground. I think she killed him or maybe he was just unconscious. ?  To be continued.

 ELECTION CAMPAIGN TRAILS in CANADA still on going and going...

EMERGENCE. Piper the only lone survivor from the plane crash lives with the police officer and staying with the family is causing them lots of worries and incredible paranormal events. Piper was able to get rid of her "tracker chip" from behind her ear and threw it down the sink. However, a stranger got hold of the microchip implant using a tracker gadget. The remaining victims of crash that were stored in the morgue were subjected to "liquification process." Morbid. Horrendous. Shocking. The police officer discovered the vehicle that is somewhat "possessed" or in a state of  zero gravity inside but a huge magnet for anything on its surface. They took the possessed car and dumped it down in the ocean. Weird? It is a weird television series with weird story. Zathura?

TV Series & Movie

TERROR: Infamy. Finally Chester reconciled with his girlfriend and their mistake should just be forgiven by uniting as "couple" and let the fetus grows into a baby. Well if its not from a dark premonition Chester would like that evil plan took its course. Dumb ass! They were ready to move in to a new place when the authority held  Chester out of the house and Luz decided to go with him at the concentration camp intended for Japanese-American. The war broke out and the Japanese families whether they were already citizens of America didn't guarantee  them safety from the scrutiny. However, the evil that lurks in Terminal island followed them wherever they go.

Oh my brand new demonic possession Japanese-American style.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 It's my first time to watch the famous TV series HANDMAID's TALE (Margaret Atwood's novel)
and whatever some viewers had said in the past about this kind of drama didn't really satisfy my curiosity. The episode last Sunday didn't really give me hope to watch it again or another next episode. Why? The story is somewhat a continuation of the movie THE GIVER.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe because I was used to watching a more intense movies and television series such as THE WALKING DEAD & FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. With all the apocalyptic drama and intense actions and mind boggling scenes of horror in RESIDENT EVIL and all its sequels, is there any other movie or series that are provocative, more intense, more terrifying?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
READY OR NOT the movie. Hey, that's brand new! I will wait for that on DEMAND.
Imagine yourself as the gorgeous bride married to a gorgeous handsome man and suddenly you realized that your in-laws are bunch of lunatics. omg. 
------------------------------------------------------------------
BIG BROTHER USA edition. Jackson as the HOH. Kathryn was out to join Jack at the Jury House.
Analyze as the Mother Hen being punished to act as hen and worse of all to lay eggs or sit on eggs at the cage. It was almost like child's play. Jackson or Mitch (?) had chosen to evict Christie & Analyze.

On Wednesday night you'll find out who will win the POV.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bachelor In Paradise? Do you really watch that show?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SEAL TEAM episode Dirt, Dirt, Gucci. What kind of title is that? The SEAL team were deployed in the Philippines. Davis (Toni Trucks) joined the female soldiers and has to live in the barracks doing military training and had to undergo being scrutinized by the  female platoon leader whoever she is. While Jason had problem with her daughter's education. I couldn't believe that the head leader of the SEAL TEAM had problem with finance and only one daughter of her in University which he had problem with? She's already in University, so you mean to say that a military with all its huge benefits allocated by the US Government and the huge salary of a NAVY SEAL can't provide financially to a daughter in University in the US? That's so weird. It is so strange and mystifying.

Twisted News & Movies

Thank God it's Sunday!What to look forward today? Same old story or same old news? lol. As usual the news in the WH is the same.  I think the POTUS would be happier if he's back in his show THE APPRENTICE instead. Why not? He likes the words, "You're fired!"

I wish NIRVANA IN FIRE has its Part III.

I don't know if the Huawei's news is just a publicity gimmick or real news. Who knows? Cheaper to promote Huawei products by that kind of weird strategy?

Bad publicity gimmick reach its customers faster than speed of light? Uhm, just wondering whether we have to be seriously involved or affected by such kind of negative strategy.

Clueless. We are all clueless.

What to watch at AMC 6 pm slot when The Walking Dead is on vacation?

TV Series we are missing to watch: Fear the Walking Dead, Designated Survivor, American Idol, etc.

Had finished watching the movie "Life of the Party" of  Melissa McCarthy in the lead role. It was a wacky, comedy movie with a funny twist. Revenge in such a fashionable comedy of error? Whatever!
Watch it and get the surprise you are waiting for.
Deanna's nerdy revenge is more fitting as the title.
Whether the tomb has no body in it or it's only a tomb without the body?
Maybe it's a pizza!
Deanna will soon ride horses and grave digging her part of the adventure left behind
by Indiana Jones. Maybe, maybe not.

Intelligence

Do you like the trailer of the Amsterdam? It's the latest television drama series about the life of a doctor and his co-doctors in the hospital. The speech of the lead character was so uplifting that it can move mountains. They would create and set new rules that they have to be doctors first. Because the system failed them. What could be the onset of such new rule? They will treat patients because they need to be treated not because they have to treat patients because they have money to be admitted in the hospital. That the patient doesn't need to show medicare or health care insurance. Wow! That's great! How they could do it? That's the conflict of NEW AMSTERDAM the new tv series.

Great for them because they don't need to be in the war torn countries and use their expertise there or practice medicine in a MASH-like environment. Is that good? Doctors should practice to become experts in what they do. Practice makes perfect. If they have to practice their medicine in a war situation then it's better to be in  a safer place and not be paid but saving their own lives is a matter of intelligence. They save other people and they save their own lives. Smart!

In the last episode of the FEAR The Walking Dead, the Morgan team managed to escape from zombies who gathered round them when the huge truck exploded. Jim was the one who had the leash of the wheelchair bound heavyweight guy, pulling him on the road to their next destination. The leash (whatever its made of heavy cord or heavy material belt? ) to pull such heavyweight person could have effect on Jim's body. He is not a very strong man and his body is that of a regular man. Morgan's team was able to shelter inside the abandoned hospital. It's not a safe shelter for them because it turned out the patients, doctors, and  nurses were turned into zombies. To escape from the zombies, they went up to the rooftop and wait for their new fate. Then June noticed the wound on Jim's body, according to her there's nothing that she can do because Jim was bitten. I didn't see that Jim was bitten by zombie. I think that was the sore from the leash from pulling a heavyweight person on a wheelchair. We'll find that out tomorrow on next episode of FEAR TWD.

The old abandoned hospital shooting location in Fear The Walking Dead was actually scheduled for demolition. Would you believe?

UPDATES: Jim was a Jim Bean so he just offered himself as a sacrifice to Team Morgan ala captain Morgan (the pirate). Martha escaped and gone crazy lunatic once again and this time she will use Jim as a bait. Next episode probably Alicia and Charlie reunited with the rest of the cast and what will happen with Maggie Grace? Only 2 episodes left for FEAR THE WALKING DEAD.

RHODORA X Finale. Nico abducted Jenna (Princess). Roxanne, Rhodora and Angela joined forces to beat Nico who set fire in the abandoned warehouse and locked Jenna inside a box. Angela fought so hard then shot Nico dead (dead? really?) then helped Jenna out from the box while Rhodora struggled with her multiple personality. The ending is pretty obvious. The girl Jenna showed signs of mental dissociative personality just like her mom Rhodora/Roxanne. Told you so. They should buy a wide screen plasma TV instead of the child always staring at herself in the mirror.  Children   with this kind of DID should be encouraged to join showbiz as a cure. Or play with the same age level children not to play with adults. Well, I'm glad this television series is over. Because you know maraming gaya-gaya. Baka maraming gumaya dyan sa lugar nyo sa Pinas. Meron akong kilala na may DID. She did it and she said yes!

For those who are interested in "multiple personality themed movie," watch SPLIT.
