Season 2 Episode 17

In case you are wondering why this blog is now on Sundays instead of Saturdays, let me explain: I have moved my posts for The Good Wife blog of mine to Saturdays so that pushed this blog back. I moved the Good Wife blog back a day because I posted in my Madam Secretary blog on Friday. I might have posted that blog today instead of Friday, but I decided against that. I had a roll of a certain show which means I update my TV blog on that day. Since that day was Thursday when I updated my TV blog and I hadn't published in my Madam Secretary blog this month, I had to do an update there. I don't know yet if anything will mess up or change with the plan for the future. I just know that there should be three more posts in the next three weeks until you see monthly updates for a while. In fact, you'll probably only see monthly updates in the future. But I'll explain more soon. For now, let's get to the post on the penultimate episode of CSI: Cyber (and possibly the whole franchise).

It looks as if this show may be ending soon. Well, this season is. There is a slim possibility that it comes back for future seasons, but I doubt that will happen. Sorry if I sound like an Eeyore or depressing like that. But unlike some people, I’m never going to be in denial about a probable cancellation of a show. I may be a pessimist person generally (although that may not show up that much in life) so hopefully I don’t sound grim about things. With the CSI franchise, it seems that we never know when things end and they never end in May.

The first part has a recap of stuff I haven’t seen yet since I’m always watching most shows out of order. But I’ll mention that earlier. Get it? We get to a woman dancing around. Now I may not be attracted to men, but why aren’t they ever sexualized? It appears that a crime has been committed. But what is the cyber connection? Brody is doing something that he risks going to jail for. There could be weather coverage where I live. Hopefully it will only affect one of my CBS affiliates, if it affects one at all. The crime involved hacking maps to rob people. The team drives out to a crime scene. A victim is alive, which is good.

The second part brings us the focus of today’s episode: supercookie. The team looks for three women. D B talks to a woman he is dating, possibly. I’ll find out more later by watching earlier episodes. I forget if we’ve seen her thus far. Someone might have hacked rail road crossing signs. Brody tells Raven about his quest to clear his name. I’m glad that they are giving him a story. I just hope that they wrap things up before this show ends. They figure out what is behind the hack of railway crossing. Someone who is an accomplice (but maybe not willingly) talks to people about the crime.

The third part has people identifying their victim. They find out more information with the case. Once again they use magic computery things to find the person they are looking for. A person informs Avery about Brody’s plan to sue. The female victim was actually part of the crime against the man. But did something go wrong that got her hurt?

The fourth part is when the team looks through a place they somehow has access to where they look through potential evidence to the case. The criminals talk about the problems they had relating to their case. A man thinks that his sister isn’t part of the problem, but she might be. Brody mentions more of the case against him that he filed the lawsuit about and he tells Raven about why he didn’t tell Avery about the lawsuit. They label the various criminals in the case. We see a crime scene montage. I miss those. I wonder why we don’t see them as much as we used to. Maybe it’s because this is a different show. They find evidence to catch their suspects. Meanwhile, I love the false flashbacks that shows have.

The fifth part has the supercookie explained. They are using it to catch flash squad, their perpetrators. The team finds the location of where flash mob is. They make it seem like different cops are after them in order to actually catch them. D B goes on his date. He seems to enjoy it for the most part. His girlfriend is considering moving. What effect will this have on the relationship? Long distance can work. Some people I know would have probably never married if they weren’t long distance at one point. I’m fairly certain that one of my cousin’s kid wouldn’t exist either. Brody and Avery talk about his lawsuit. The FBI drops their charges against Brody. But they are considering getting rid of the hack for good program which would send Raven to jail.

On the next CSI: Cyber, the season (possibly and probably series finale) happens and it looks like someone will die. This better not be a cliffhanger ending. Normally I like a good cliffhanger, but that’s only if the show come back for a future season. I’m definitely a pessimist because I just don’t see that happening. I can’t remember the last regular season CBS scripted show to not end a season in May (or at least April) and come back for a future season. We are lucky that a midseason replacement like this got a second season in the first place. I should tweet ABC to see if they might be interested in this show. But I’m not sure any other network is. I’ll mention more of my thoughts on series finales in terms of quality in the next blog post. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 16

Remember when I talked about how the CSI franchise could continue if this show were to end? Well, I’m sorry if I’m being a bummer of a person. But there is probably no way that this show could avoid cancellation unless CBS makes a dumb choice regarding it and they have too high ratings and thus too high a standard to keep something as low rated as this show. But back to the point I was making before: there are ways for the franchise to continue. One of them that I just now thought of would involve a made for TV movie being made that could serve as a potential pilot to a new series. That could work, even as just a one-off movie. Meanwhile, I’m still wondering if movie theatres will ever show stuff like a CSI movie in the future. They could even go R if they wanted to.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a warped church person. That happens a lot. But I do wonder why we never see other religions being warped as much. It tends to only be Christianity. Well, that and Islam, but they always seem to defend Islam and never Christianity. Anyhoo, a person winds up dead and everyone receives notifications about it at the crime lab though a social media site. They investigate the crime and other crime pictures are sent as well.

The second part brings us the focus of today’s episode: QR (Quick Response) code- A pattern of black and white squares that can be scanned by the camera of a smartphone to download information. They look up more information about the case. Someone makes a picture of someone in hell taken at their visitation. Meanwhile, they look up information of someone who did sex selfies. These murders have to do with the five deadly sins of social media: hate speech, porn, violence, drugs, and trolling.

The third part has more of the possible stalker person that I forgot to mention earlier. Elijah’s dad goes to confront her and he winds up passing out. Did she cause this? Her name is Nina and Elijah confronts her and gives her a restraining order. But she’s still able to sneak back into the hospital with a wig and Elijah knows this. We might see her again in the last episode. Meanwhile, with the case, it appears that one of the tech people that they talked to earlier is behind the killings. She finds the trolling person from earlier and ties him up. But the team is able to find them and stop her. She ends up killing herself, being the last victim of her own crimes. They decide to take her account down so as to not inspire anyone else to commit murders like hers.

On the next CSI: Cyber, a group of women commit crimes. I’ve already written about that episode and have just the last episode this season (possibly ever) and the one that aired on Valentine’s Day left to write. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 15

I have planned ways of continuing this blog if this show ends. But we’ll see if I continue this blog after it ends. I probably will. Just know that after the final episode of this show airs, I’ll do at least one post after the last episode. The last episode will be the last blog post of any episodes regardless of the order that I post episodes in. If this show does get cancelled, I’ll certainly post more of the episodes quicker than just one episode a month so I can keep things updated better. What would I post once this show ends? Well, you’ll have to wait and see.

I don’t know for sure just how many episodes of this show are left to air. I thought that there were twenty-two episodes this season, but I could be wrong about that. I could also be wrong about which episode this season we are on. I believe that it is the fifteenth episode, as stated by the title of this post. But am I wrong? And with this show’s timeslot being replaced with a different show, if there are still unaired episodes, then we’ll have to wonder when/if these episodes are going to air. For instance, I’m still wondering when Person of Interest is returning. But we’ll see what happens for sure.

Things can generally change for people throughout time. The Rams move back to LA after spending a long time in St. Louis. It’s possible that this show is filmed on the same set that CSI: New York was. But back to the Rams: since they moved from St. Louis, should people from there stop rooting for them? A lot of people are, based on my understanding of the situnario. Now I’m not sure if all the people from LA are suddenly going to abandon their football team to root for the Rams. I’m not sure how team moves work regarding fanship. Meanwhile, if the Rams and Broncos play each other in regular season play, somebody let me know what the score is. This will decide who I root for first and who I root for second. But I’m not sure if they’ll play each other at all.

The first part is a recap of previous episodes and the hunt for Python. Have I seen these episodes before? I’m not sure that I remember them. Oh, wait: I haven’t seen the Valentine’s Day episode just yet. She’s moving into a new place and hears a music box. She finds a tablet with her daughter’s death on it. There’s a head in the box too. Someone who is looking for Python is holding someone else hostage. The team looks into the strange case. They are able to get in contact with a hostage named Grace and it turns out that Python killed his own mother and that’s whose head they have. I think that Python was from episodes before I started this blog that aren’t on VHS for me.

The second part brings us the focus of today’s episode: shodan map, whatever that is. Avery tries to help the hostage, but she gets interrupted by Python. They are able to solve one puzzle after an incorrect guess. Elijah goes after a person related to the case. Malware is being put on the computer.

The third part has more explanation into the malware regarding how it is in the system. A man named Miguel talks about his hunt for Python. There is something wrong with Grace and that is how Python plans to kills her. The surge protector wasn’t replaced. This villain reminds me of Palont (probably spelled wrong) from Bones who also someone had control over computers that was excessive and ridiculous. Sometimes the villains have more power than they should. Anyways, they try to hunt down someone related to the case.

The fourth part has a torture experience of a suspect or witness. Grace doesn’t think she can make it. But can she? People are looking for where Python might be. There is a dangerous way to find out her location. Due to some very strange probably bullshit way of using a mirror to get the camera’s information, they are able to get important information relating to the case. Dante is the real name of Python and it looks like he is taking more measures to ensure that Grace dies. But would she really die? I’m not sure that will happen, although it could.

The fifth part has the aftereffects of their risky member. There are clues given that help solve the case. Elijah and the person he is with pass the car that Python is using to get away only they are not able to chase after him as they still need to get Grace. They are able to rescue her and somehow Avery gets there to talk to her. They then have to get their computer systems back online after what happened. Avery tries to sleep, but then is awakened by Python bursting into her house. She is able to kill him before he hurts her. Guess we won’t have to see his ridiculous ways again. And they didn’t drag it out for too long like Bones did with Pelont. Of course, the people writing this probably know that they won’t be able to do that anyways. At least I hope they realize that this show has bad ratings.

On the next CSI: Cyber which will air on Sunday, there is someone going after the sins of social media. There are only three more episodes this season so I guess that there are only eighteen episodes instead of twenty-two episodes. It makes you wonder if my count is right, although I see no reason why it wouldn’t be. But I’ll be back then with the next episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Season 2 Episode 14

If there was ever a future show in the CSI franchise, one might wonder where it would be set and what it would be about. They have set the shows in Las Vegas, Miami, New York, and Quantico is where this one is set. Where would future ones be set? They haven’t gone to the Midwest in this show. They could do a CSI: St. Louis. That’s probably my prediction. Or, they could do one in Seattle. I mean, there are links to it with D. B. I remember reading that one of the cast members from CSI still wanted to appear in the show. She could still appear in a future spin-off of some sort. I think that the actress’s name was Elizabeth something or other but I can’t remember what her character’s name was. She was a younger person and was in the show towards the end. In fact, she joined around the same time that D. B. was put in the cast and I was possibly thinking that they might do a spin-off in LA. Although, that seems unlikely as a location since there is an NCIS show in LA. That’s also why we won’t see a CSI: New Orleans in the future. But, the location could be in Baltimore.

http://adamdeckersurvivor.blogspot.com/ This is my primary blog, even though I created it second. I typically update it every Wednesday, although it can and does change at different times throughout the year. It’s my blog about the show Survivor. I might actually make a different blog the primary blog of mine should it ever end, but at the moment it looks like there is no end in sight for Survivor and the only worrisome sign of that happening would be if Jeff Probst died, retired, or left the show for one reason or another. I mostly update my other blogs based on that one even if it means posting about episodes long after they air.

It looks like the PGA tour might cut off some of the planned newscast scheduled at 5:30 before 60 Minutes starts at 6. But only if it cuts off too much of it would it be a problem and that isn’t happening tonight. I know that tape delay is mostly gone until football returns, but it isn’t gone entirely. There might be tennis in the future. There will certainly be two Sundays affected by March Madness and we’ll probably have to worry about The Masters affecting it as well. After The Masters airs, we probably won’t have to worry about the show getting delayed again until season 3 (if the unlikely happens and this show gets renewed). Meanwhile, somebody let me know when The Broncos play the Rams in football so I know the final score. I won’t say why I’m interested in these particular teams or why I only care about their first game against each other. But I’ll try my best to stay updated myself so I know this myself without having to rely on someone else. Anyways, today I am live blogging this episode.

Today’s episode is brought to you by no delay. We begin with a man giving a statement to the police about a missing person who we can see was in fact kidnapped. How is this a cyber crime? I guess we’ll see what relates. People then find her body by the looks of it. D B had a date by the looks of it. The team investigates the case and they believe that the husband is the killer. It looks like the device she was wearing is the cyber connection.

The second part brings us the focus of today’s episode: near field communication. People find information based on what the wrist wear says. Is it just me or do they have a dumb password for a high tech crime company? There is an activity log that contradicts what the suspect says. But I do have the feeling that the husband being the suspect is too easy. It turns out that the husband was looking for relationship advice to help his marriage. They look for a different suspect and find a dead body. Actually, the person is not actually dead.

The third part has people at the crime scene. They are interviewing the person who they found who looks like he survived the same type of thing that Alison, the dead person, did not. It appears that the perpetrator was looking to harvest organs on the black market. There’s another person kidnapped and one of the people responsible looks like he is being trapped into doing this in some way.

The fourth part has Keith, the unwilling criminal, talking to the mastermind of the whole case. It turns out that he is doing this for a person that he knows. That is why he is into illegal organ harvesting. The good guys find a way of finding who is responsible, or at least who is after a kidney.

The fifth part has the team figuring out who is responsible for the kidnappings, killings, and organ harvesting. They are able to find the people and help the two people who both underwent surgery. The criminals don’t see what they did wrong. Daniel wins the bet against Brody. Avery and D B are able to watch a recording of the game that they missed.

On the next CSI: Cyber, airing March 2^nd, Avery is looking for her daughter who she suddenly has all of a sudden. Did I miss something? I should probably look up more about her character sometime. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
