Season 2 Episode 13

The midseason schedule is in full swing and that affects the schedule on CBS. It will even affect the airing of this show. You will see some new episodes of it on Wednesday at 10/9 Central. But this will be gone during midseason and replaced with Rush Hour on Thursdays in Elementary’s old time slot while Elementary movies to this time slot. Meanwhile, Code Black, the show that replaced CSI, will be replaced with Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. Meanwhile, Life in Pieces, which replaced half of CSI: New York, will be replaced by a returning show: The Odd Couple.

http://adamdeckermadamsecretaryblog.blogspot.com/ This is a link to my first blog about a CBS Sunday show. It helped create one about The Good Wife and later this one that you are reading now. I created that blog due to a dream about having a Madam Secretary blog. Tape delay created other blogs about the shows on after it due to rules that I have regarding when that could happen. I might create one about Elementary, although I’m not sure if that will happen unless they keep airing it in this timeslot in future seasons. I also had a dream about having a blog about Bob’s Burgers, but at the moment, I won’t create it although that could change at some point before it ends.

Here’s a section that I’m putting in multiple blog posts. I was away from my home visiting family the day that this episode aired. There were potential ways for me to record the Sunday episodes of shows that I blog about, but I was concerned that the PGA tour might run long and there would be a tape delay messing up the recordings. This didn’t ultimately happen, though. I could have potentially watched and blogged about it elsewhere, but a lack of definite plans prevented that. Thus, the CBS shows that I blog about were watched online for this week and this post may be different than usual as a result.

There were different plans going into the weekend as to how I would see these episodes for my blog. Using my TV tuner was not an option as that would mean either leaving it set up all weekend or trusting some new person with access to the house that I’d have to give them in order to somehow figure out how to set up my laptop to record stuff on it. Now I do not trust anyone to set up the laptop to record shows because they could easily mess up at that. Now you’d think the Super Bowl would mean that tape delay is over for the season, but it isn’t. I’ve learned before that there will be other reasons that tape delay would still happen in the future. The epg that I use said that it would be golf until 5:30, then half an hour of local news followed by an on time 60 Minutes. The golf worried me and I didn’t set up the VCR to record as a result. Now I could have brought my laptop to my brother’s house and blog about it there, but it didn’t seem like a good idea and it wouldn’t have been. I should have used the VCR after all, but I didn’t know when I’d be back or if it would mess up or not. So I’m watching this online and hopefully it won’t happen again, although it probably will happen that I’m not able to watch live or record the show in the future anyways. I’ll just do my best to avoid it happening in the future.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a person who was running away from a person, by the looks of it, someone bad. Avery receives news that her ex-husband has died and she got the life insurance policy. She gets upset about it. But he’s not actually dead by the looks of it. He has been falsely labeled as dead. You know, I’ve seen a 60 Minutes special on that. It would be bad to be declared dead when you aren’t. Of course, it would be bad to be dead. He has apparently been digitally murdered somehow. Unlike a lot of this show, this is one that I actually believe would happen. It turns out that a lot of people have been declared digitally murdered.

The second part brings us the focus of today’s episode: social engineering- manipulating computer users to reveal sensitive information to use in a hack. A person is freed of charges, but it looks like he is an evil person. Avery talks to the suspect from earlier and tries to negotiate for information. Of course, the suspect wants freedom, but will she get it? Avery’s ex is getting married. The ex of his fiancé is fighting against him marrying her. The suspect is helping with the case for some odd reason. Can she be trusted? This might just be for her to get out of jail time.

The third part has Avery helping her ex. She has mixed emotions and doesn’t know how to react. The team looks for more evidence with the case. They look for more information with Stella, the female suspect from earlier. She has immunity for the moment, but it apparently can be revoked. Can it though? Is that something that can really happen? But she gives information relating to the case. Avery talks more to her ex about why she had the life insurance policy. She used him on a box of hers.

The next part has people looking for information relating to the case. They go on what looks like a stakeout of some sort. Daniel seems convinced that Stella is still evil and she probably is. They arrest a guy who was helping Stella. She is the reaper person that they were looking for. So they chase after her and are able to get her easily. Avery talks to her ex one last time.

Well, I’m glad that somebody put this episode on youtube or I might not have been able to see it. You see, I had planned to watch it on www.cbs.com like I would most other shows I’d need to watch online, but I wasn’t able to as I must have waited too long. But, I was able to see it. Yay for me! Now I have only the last episode this season to watch left and I’ll be back with other posts later. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 7

Well, this show was officially cancelled. At least I remembered to add this little blurb at the beginning of this blog post before I get into the rest of it. Anyways, starting with the 13th episode of this season, I'll post the rest of the episodes at a faster pace than I have been in the past. Then, you'll see a special post before I come up with a new way of continuing this blog. You should see updates in this blog every Saturday for the near future. Well, that's the plan at least. Things could change. Just keep in mind that whenever you don't see an update, that would mean that a different blog of mine got an update. But I will be back with the rest of the season before I come up with a new format for the blog. I'll explain more than.

Sports delays can be really confusing when it comes to my TV show watching. It’s already confusing to watch most shows out of order. (To be funny, I should do things out of order in this blog post or any of them, but you see them out of order anyways.) What I find interesting about this week’s episode was that in my region, the football game they were showing was replaced with another football game that was more interesting. I don’t know how often this happens. Meanwhile, I was too distracted to see the final score of the game originally, but I’m hoping that I’ll catch it on the news.

Here’s a paragraph that I felt was worth posting in multiple blogs. On the 13^th of November (which was incidentally a Friday for all you superstitious people) a bad event happened. There were terrorist bombings in France. The news talked about how this could affect football games over the weekend. It could also potentially affect various programs on TV. While it doesn’t matter in the long run if shows are affected due to current events, I will keep an eye out for potential changes in these blogs.

Now don’t think that I have low priorities because I’m pointing out that live events can mess with the airing of shows. This blog is about a TV show so it seems only fair for me to tell you about these changes. Typically, networks accommodate what they can. Lots of shows affected by and after 9/11 went on with some changes as seen fit. I remember after the Sandy Hook shooting that there was some affecting of the Survivor episode (the 25^th season finale), but they showed the whole episode and only messed up recordings for those with DVR (which wouldn’t have happened anyways since there was a football game that cut into the episode that night as well).

Now I should get to a better introduction for this blog post. Sorry if you don’t like my ramblings. But, I do have other blogs that I ramble in as well. The reason this one is delayed is due to football, which I already told you about. Plus, I had to poop so I wasn’t able to start watching when I would have wanted to start. But I did make sure to put it on VHS simply because my first official episode hasn’t aired yet (that’s the one that has neither of my CBS affiliates on tape delay) so I could still blog about it in the future. Well, the future is now.

Today’s episode is brought to you by 56 minute delay. We begin with someone who thinks she is about to get engaged, but instead she gets murdered. A person tries talking about the murdered person. He appears to have some sort of mental problem possibly. The victim is named Isabelle. They look through evidence of the case. Avery continues talking to the witness. There are some problems with him that make it seem like something isn’t right with him.

The second part brings us the focus of today’s episode: malware- software used to gather sensitive information or gain access to private computer systems. Finally, something that I’ve actually heard about is mentioned as the main part of the episode. Tristan is the person that they are talking to. It was a sex toy that caused the problem with malware to happen. This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase internet sex. Apparently cyber rape is real. Suddenly I understand why people hate this show. But, it could be real, although I really hope that it isn’t. Daniel buys a sex toy that has the same malware on it. Brody has problems with a blast from his past: a brother of his. Avery talks more to Tristan. Brody and Daniel uncover that this problem with malware is widespeard. This is around when I start watching so I’ll let my past self take over for most of the rest of this blog post.

While it was around the 10:20 that I started watching, I’ll pretty much start this blog post around the time the next part began after that. They are looking for information about Isabelle, the victim. Brody is trying to find their target but is unable to. A hack from earlier is brought back up. They are looking for the killer and find that their suspect was a neighbor to Isabelle. Tristan is the suspect. I think that it is too soon to know who the killer is. But maybe not.

The next part has Avery profiling the suspect at hand. Hopefully, as usual, I’ll be able to understand the whole episode once I’m able to see it all. Regretfully, I missed out on a scene after I started watching since I edit out commercials when I do. That’s as simple as not recording them. They are more convinced throughout the scene that Tristan is probably their killer, but are unable to find him right now. Maybe he is the killer and the rest of the episode is about finding him and getting his story. Also, since I’m actually remembering names this time, it seems likely that I’ll remember who he is when I’m watching the first part later. It turns out that Tristan isn’t the killer. He was trying to help Isabelle, but failed.

The next part has a video from Isabelle. It was originally deleted, but then they found it back again. There is a 0% match on DNA that Brody tests. He then talks with a man on the phone that must have been from earlier in the episode. Tristan confronts the suspect while Avery uses the internet to talk him out of becoming a vigilante. But then there is a sudden twist that I don’t fully understand. I’m going back to the normal font of this blog for a moment to add something. I guess that the suspect was shot by someone else although we’ll see both Tristan and the shooter in court.

One update before I get to the last paragraph is that I’m talking about an episode that I’m not ultimately blogging about. It’s possible that I will blog about it and various other episodes from this season in possible rewatches of the show in the future. But it probably relates to Python whom I know we will see again in a blog post that I’m doing later.

On the next CSI: Cyber, the team is looking for a serial killer or some sort of recurring villain that might have been from a previous episode that I don’t remember. Of course, you might have already seen my post about that episode. Seeing things out of order can be confusing. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
