Ponderings of CSI: Vegas Season 2

I don’t have much time to write this post, which is such a common theme in posts that I do in blogs of mine, but I still wanted to get this done. I have no idea if the readers of my blog on CSI: Vegas came here like I told them to. I just wanted them to have some place to go to and knew that this blog would be updated even as that one wouldn’t be. And it makes more sense than when I told my readers of the blog I have on Elementary to come to this blog instead. Still, there are posts that I can do about CSI: Vegas and I’m thinking about what season 2 might be like.

 

You might wonder what other CSI franchise characters could appear in this. Four of them already have in some way last season. There will be a new person appearing in that show from the original CSI. Now I don’t have time right now to look up who all could return that wasn’t killed in universe or otherwise can’t appear on the show again. I also don’t know if they will consider having people from CSI: Miami or CSI: New York in the future on this show. I wish that CSI: Vegas wasn’t just a fall show. They could make a CSI: Fort Lauderdale to air in the spring continuing some of the people from CSI: Miami while we have CSI: Vegas in the fall. There could be a CSI: Newark for the people from CSI: New York.

 

Lots of different things could happen in the upcoming season. I know some of who will appear and will just have to get used to the new characters, hope that there is good reason for the departures of the old characters, and hope that I like the story arcs. I liked the last season which is why I’m a bit wary of yet another show I like with a strong first season having a terrible second season. I hate the sophomore slump and can only hope that this show isn’t the next one to fall victim to it.

 

In conclusion, I can only hope that I can do more research into all of the characters of the franchise that could reappear in universe in the future to see if any of them will get future seasons of the show. I do look forward to this and hope for more episodes and the same quality or even better as last season. I have yet to give up a show that I blog about, but it could happen. Let’s hope that it doesn’t, as much as I need to give up blogging. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 8-7-2022

I did it! I did what I should have done the last two times that I did a cast update: make sure that everyone included in it was updated to the present. This was after not one but two consecutive posts without it. I don’t have all of the trailers included that I would have liked or wanted. But I finally have a long delayed movie review as well. If only it was a good film. Anyways, enjoy this long cast update that is finally done like it should be.

 

Patricia Arquette: The main star of CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb right now. She does a lot, or at least did in the past. We’ll see what all she will do in the future regarding shows she does. A new project that I see her as doing is Severance. She also seems to be in High Desert.

 

Severance: This is a TV show. It is out now. The plot is about a company that is trying to take work-life balance to a new level, according to the internet movie database. That involves splitting their minds into two in a way. Here is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTqlZkvbNVg

 

Thoughts on trailer: Maybe this is the only trailer or maybe there will be more. Anyways, from what I can tell of this, it might be trying to go for something, but also doesn’t seem entirely original, even though I couldn’t tell you what else this might be like. It could be an interesting show or it could be very confusing. Are they really doing this of their own free will? It seems otherwise. I hope for more clarification later. But this could be a good show that I might never see.

 

High Desert: This is set for release sometime in 2022. It is about a former addict who becomes a PI after the death of her mother. Sorry that this hadn’t gotten its own part of this blog before. Now it finally does as I understand it now and so does imdb.

 

Peter MacNicol: I can’t find much ever, if anything, for this actor. I hope that I can avoid saying things about him in a paragraph that could easily wind up outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing. So I came up with this one until the next project he’s in. He will be in a new film called Our Almost Completely True Story which we’ll see what comes of it. he will also be in Home Delivery.

 

Our Almost Completely True Story: I cannot make since of the plot, other than that it relates to Jewish people and leprechauns. Maybe it will make more sense later. It might be out now from what I can tell of it. It has a trailer:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W2yWH9r6nM

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very, incredibly odd. I can’t quite make sense of this. I do not think that I want to watch this because it looks more like the intent is humor than it is actually humorous. I hate movies that are painfully unfunny. And what does this have to do with leprechauns? She’s a leprechaun? Really? Are they sure about that? I guess that the new Charmed wants us to challenge our notion about what a leprechaun is, but this does not seem like it belongs in the description at all.

 

Home Delivery: In this movie, apparently a fat model is expecting her first child. It might not sound too weird or whatever. There is no release date or trailer for this yet. I’ll have to see it to see if this might be good or not.

 

James Van Der Beek: There’s nothing to add for him. It’s interesting how things change. He went from having so many projects that I started cutting one project from this blog because of him and now he does not have any to cover in this blog at all.

 

Shad Moss: Since there’s no future known projects of his to keep track of for the foreseeable future, I’m going to cover one of his music videos in each of these blog posts for the next set of blog posts in this section until he does something worth covering in this blog again.

 

SEIZURE WARNING!

 

Fresh Az I’m Iz (remix featuring J-Kwon, Jermaine Dupri): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3fnTbF-rfY

 

Thoughts on video: In terms of the quality of just the song alone, this seems like one of the much better rap songs out there. Come to think of it, it might be more like hip hop. It is hard to tell for sure. As for the rest of it, I’m unsure who these two other people are and if they are even in the video. There sure seems to be a lot of cleavage in here and scantily clad women. Does he have to do something like that in every single one of his videos? It’s sad, really. And the worst part of this is where he claims that since he’s rich, he can do whatever he wants. Ugh. Still, the song is at least good to some degree.

 

Charley Koontz: He will be in something called Eat Your Heart Out. He is also now in something called Frank and Penelope. He will also be in Long December. Another thing that he will be in is a National Treasure TV show.

 

Eat Your Heart Out: This has an unknown date of release at the moment. The plot will be a bit complicated as someone literally gave his heart away and needs to get it back in order to marry someone else. Seems strange, but I might like it. Still, it is a short and I don’t know how I’d be able to watch any of those. There’s a trailer for it now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfJTMnCT7Ps

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks kind of weird, but I guess that it works as an idea of what they can do with a film like this. I don’t know why a heart would be in pieces and can only hope that the cat didn’t eat any of them. I guess I’ll see if I can see what the short film is like if I’m able to see it.

 

Frank and Penelope: I don’t quite understand the plot of it yet. It seems like a man will fall in love with a stripper and that turns his life around somehow. This is out now. There is no trailer for this yet. I think that this is a movie.

 

Long December: This has no trailer at the time. It also has no release date. The plot right now relates to a struggling music artist trying to succeed at what he wants to do as the year comes to an end. That’s all that I can make sense of right now regarding it.

 

National Treasure: I’m unsure if this relates to the movie series of the same name or not. It is about a DREAMer that seeks to find her family history and lost treasure. There is no release date or trailer for this yet. We’ll see how long it takes for one to come, if it does at all.

 

Hayley Kiyoko: With no music videos that I can think of worth mentioning in this blog and all of her time being spent on music and not TV shows or movies, I don’t know if there is much to add in this section at the moment, but will keep it here for now and hope that she does something new.

 

Ted Danson: Surely his time off of TV means that he could be doing movies in the meantime, but we’ll see if that happens soon or not. It looks like he is doing more now that I can finally see. He is in Curb Your Enthusiasm and that’s about it for now.

 

Curb Your Enthusiasm: This is a TV show on HBO. There isn’t too much to add to this section other than the fact that I would like to see this if only to see what this is about and if it is as good as people think that it is. Ted has been on it ever since it returned.

 

Anthony E Zuiker: After all of this time wondering if the creator of one of TV’s longest running franchises is ever going to work again, I see him listed as the producer in a project. He is set to help make something called Spearfinger. And there is good news in that he will have involvement in CSI: Vegas so his franchise remains in his hands.

 

Spearfinger: This has no release date at this time. I think that it will be a movie. It is about a Native American legend regarding a woman with sharp fingers who would like to frighten people. There might need to be more to the plot than that, so we will see for sure what will happen with this project later as more information becomes available.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21st anniversary of the franchise. It is on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.

 

CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI, largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original team returning. Description- We return to characters from the original show solving new mysteries and dealing with potential issues of old teammates. Notable People- This has a lot of the original cast returning, including William Petersen, Jorja Fox, and Wallace Langham. It is also created by the same franchise creator as the four previous shows, Anthony E Zuiker. Pros- I felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Cons- It can be too mysterious for its own good and also could ruin what’s previously part of the franchise. Note to Parents- Don’t let preteens watch this, but teens and older can. Recommendation- This is good and worth watching. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch every episode about this to blog about it. Prediction- I don’t know if this is going to last now. You’d think that it would, but the main thing against it right now is whether or not it is just a short term plan in the end. It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if there will be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

Carol Mendelsohn: I will tell you about anything she is a producer of since I want to see something in these updates for her. I have no idea if there is something that she will be in, but I plan to keep track of what’s going on with her in the off chance that she does appear in something new. It turns out that she’s a producer in CSI: Vegas.

Ann Donahue: I have no idea how I missed this, but she’s in the new CSI: Vegas as well. I should have all of the main three CSI creators in this as they are all involved in some way (although, maybe not as much Anthony, which is weird), shape, or form. Still, enjoy this section on her that you’ve seen before with other people.

William Petersen: He hasn’t done much outside of CSI in the world of television or movies as far as I can tell. I think that he’s busy with stage work, the likes of which I will never see, probably. I have no idea if he will still be a producer in CSI: Vegas.

 

David Caruso: This CSI: Miami actor has done nothing in terms of acting for movies on TV since the show ended. This is because he is retired from acting. I’ll still keep him in the updates in case there is a change and he does wind up doing something notable in the future.

 

Gary Sinise: He has projects in the works like No Better Place to Die. That’s all that I seem him doing right now currently. I guess we’ll see in the future what else he might do. It could be a lot still or not that much in the end.

 

No Better Place to Die: This movie is about part of a battle during World War II. It has no release date or trailer at the moment. To date, Gary’s role is the only one that is in the movie right now and even his is just rumored so we’ll see what happens.

 

Anthony LaPaglia: I don’t know much else he could be doing as that doesn’t show up right now. Maybe he will do more or maybe not. One can only hope that he does more, but maybe he doesn’t need to. He’ll be in Florida Man. He’ll be in Antibody Heat.

 

Florida Man: This is a TV show set for release sometime in 2022. It’s about a former cop who returns to Florida and gets a case that winds up lasting way longer than you’d think that it should be. I’m unsure what network it will be on or if it will be in America or not. I can only hope that I can see it, or maybe not given my lack of time for things.

 

Antibody Heat: This is a comedy about the pandemic because that storyline hasn’t been done to death after production on shows resumed. Didn’t Connecting try this already? Anyways, it has no release date or trailer just yet.

 

Laurence Fishburne: He’ll be in a TV movie called Rendlesham. He’ll be in another thing called Blacksmith. Yet another thing he’ll be in is Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. More things that he is doing are The School for Good and Evil, John Wick Chapter 4, Sneaks, MacGruber, and Slingshot. A long delayed thing he might be in is Black Water Transit. And, since he cannot possibly be in enough things at once, he will also be in The Sterling Affairs. Other new things he will be in are Megalopolis as well as Frank & Louis. That better be all for now. He does too much.

 

Rendlesham: This has no release date just yet. The plot relates to probably aliens in the 80s in England. I have no idea what network it might air on just yet. Hopefully, I will find out more about this in the future. We’ll see if this really is aliens or is something else entirely.

 

Blacksmith: This has an unknown release date. In it, a man becomes a fugitive when his lab is destroyed. Hopefully, more will be revealed beyond that in the future and I hope that we’ll find out more then in the future. It could be cool if it is made and comes out.

 

Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It looks like it would be a kid’s show based off of these characters and would be animated. There is not much else to say about this as I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on yet and too much of this is still unknown at the moment. There is a trailer for this that I will get into in a future blog post, but not this one.

 

The School for Good and Evil: In this planned movie, boys are girls are taken to a place and trained to be either heroes or villains. It is set for release on October 21, 2022. This could be interesting or could be generic. There is a trailer for this, but I won’t share that until the next blog post.

 

John Wick Chapter 4: This has nothing much revealed about it other than being a film in this series. I have no idea what this series is about. I only know that it exists. This is set to be released on March 24, 2023. Maybe I’ll have to do more research into this franchise now and if I’ll even be able to see the first three movies if I even like the fourth one. (Of course, I have to make sure that I don’t judge a movie too much if I haven’t seen over movies in the franchise first, as I had that issue initially with The Bourne Supremacy, having not seen the first movie in the franchise when I saw it.) There is a trailer for this that I will get into in a future blog post.

 

Sneaks: In this animated movie, we see to see sneakers try to return to their owners. The release date is unknown. What else is there to say about this for now? I have no idea, but hope that we will see a lot more of this in the future.

 

MacGruber: This will be on Peacock, a streaming service. I might have to use that account again. It is out now. This is based on a Saturday Night Live sketch which is a parody of MacGyver. I wasn’t sure how they got a whole movie out of it and now they are doing a whole show?

 

Review: Show Description- MacGruber is released from jail to help out with more cases that the government needs help with. Behind the Scenes- This is inspired by a Saturday Night Live sketch that’s a parody of MacGyver. It features some of the same people from both like Will Forte, who was also in The Last Man on Earth, and Kristen Wiig. Also in this is Laurence Fishburne. It is also a continuation of the movie. My Thoughts- This seems random and vulgar. It can be very inappropriate. But it has its moments of humor as well and could be worth seeing if only to find out what happens after the first episode. I give it three out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- This might last, but I’m honestly not sure if it will. I say that for now, it could. I’ll see what happens later. Where to Find- This is streaming on Peacock

 

Slingshot: This is about a mission to Saturn’s moon Titan with issues going on in the space movie. Is there any space movie that doesn’t have issues going on with it? I know that there has to be some sort of conflict. There is no release date of this yet.

 

Black Water Transit: In this movie, lots of criminals and law enforcement meet in regards to a shipment of illegal guns that a man is trying to get to his family’s safe haven. It was mostly filmed a long time ago so hopefully it will finally see the light of day. It doesn’t have a trailer. And, true to it being part of development hell, has no release date.

 

The Sterling Affairs: This has no release date or trailer just yet. It is about the downfall of Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. It feels like a lot of shows, like this one (a miniseries), are about the downfall of someone or something. It doesn’t feel like we get enough stories of people gaining good things, like American Underdog.

 

Megalopolis: This has no release date yet or trailer. The plot of this relates to New York City suffering a terrible disaster and then someone wanting to rebuild it. Ted Mosby to the rescue! It better be him.

 

Frank & Louis: This has no release date or trailer yet. It does sound interesting and something that I’d like to see. In it, a prisoner serving a life sentence deals with people who are suffering from memory loss. The plot might get obvious from there, but it still seems like it could be a heartfelt film.

 

Melina Kanakaredes: She will be in a movie called Wake. That is all that I see her in at the moment. She has done a lot of TV roles, be it main or recurring, so I hope to see more of her in the future. Until then, I’ll report what I know of what she’s done.

 

Wake: This has an unknown release date at this moment. Its main focus is on a lie of some sort that tore people apart. Something interesting must happen beyond that. I just don’t yet know what that will be. I look forward to seeing it, hopefully.

 

Kristen Bell: She is doing a whole lot still. Let’s see if I can cover all of what’s she’s done since The Good Place ended. She will also be in a reboot of Gossip Girl. Yet another thing that I see now is called Molly and the Moon. She should also be in The People We Hate at the Wedding. Also, it turns out that Family Game Fight is back.

 

Gossip Girl: This is an HBO Max reboot. I never understood the appeal of that show back then and am perfectly fine not seeing this on cable or anywhere else. I do not know if I know anyone whom I could borrow the original series from, although I will not rule that out. Also, didn’t they reveal who Gossip Girl was? Is there going to be a new person doing that in the reboot or are we just expected to forget what’s been revealed in this show already? This is streaming now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhsV1gPVJMQ

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, it seems like there are some aspects that could be interesting to me, but most of this is not something that I care for. I never liked the idea of the original show, but never actually gave it a chance in the end. This seems like it is focused too much on sex and other aspects of life that I’m just not that interested in seeing on this show that I wouldn’t care to watch anyways. It’s a good thing, then, that I won’t be able to see it.

 

Enjoy this review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPQ4nuIe0ck

 

Molly and the Moon: This has a currently unknown release date. It is said to be a musical and appears to be written by the creators of How I Met Your Mother. (Do people still like them after they ended that show?) There is no known plot of this at the time. Maybe it will be a movie, but could be something else. Too much of this on imdb is vague right now.

 

The People We Hate at the Wedding: The title explains a lot of this as a family has conflict leading up to a wedding. I don’t think that there’s much else that one could say about that. It has a release date of November 18, 2022. It is based off of a book.

 

Family Game Fight: I’m not going to say much about this as you can check the archives of this blog until I have time to return to my TV blog which has the duplicate review of this that I can put back in this blog. Anyways, it is on NBC at 8/7 Central on Sundays.

 

Marg Helgenberger: One of the benefits to missing stuff in the updates is that she was going to be in a pilot that was not picked up so I won’t have to waste time putting any of that in the blog and then taking it back out again. She will be returning for more of All Rise. She’s set to be in CSI: Vegas now.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21st anniversary of the franchise. It is on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.

 

CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI, largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original team returning.

It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if there will be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

Rory Cochrane: It looks like he will appear in two movies or projects that might seem like them in the future. One is called Antlers. Something new he is doing is Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. He’ll also be in Boston Strangler.

 

Antlers: This is on DVD now. I don’t know if I hope that it will be in theaters then or not. It is a horror film about a child with dark secrets (because that totally hasn’t been done already before) and two siblings who are trying to save him from some sort of horrible creature.

 

Movie Name: Antlers. Rating- R. Noteworthiness- This is based on the legend of the wendigo. Description- A boy’s father turns into a monster and it is up to his teacher and her brother to save the day. CSI: Miami Alumni in it- Rory Cochrane is in this, but since I don’t really know who he is, then I couldn’t tell you who he played in this. Pros- You know what to expect from a movie like this. Cons- The movie is entirely predictable with obvious scares and nothing really original about it. There wasn’t much of substance to this at all. Note to Parents- There is a lot of swearing and other bad language in this, some by kids. There are scary images. Recommendation- This isn’t worth anyone’s time. IMDB Ranking: 5.9. My Grade: F.

 

Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: This is out now. I’m not sure yet what network or streaming service this might air on just yet. But I do know that this is a planned show about the 1980s Lakers. It has a trailer now:

 

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYOlUZrHRT8

 

Thoughts on trailer: This has an intentional retro feel to it that seems odd right now. I don’t think that there’s enough basketball in the trailer, although this isn’t the full one as far as I can tell. Also, is it just me or are they putting nearly everything on HBO Max nowadays? I hope that the style format or whatever they chose for this isn’t too weird as I don’t know if I’d like to watch a show that looks like that the whole time. I don’t think that there’s too much else to say about that right now. I hope that there is a trailer to see at some point, although this might be it.

 

Boston Strangler: This has a release year of 2023. It has no trailer yet either. But it does have a plot of a pair of women who broke the story of, well, the Boston Strangler and report on this person. We’ll see if this is anything like Big Sky. It wouldn’t be bad if it were more like how that show started out and not what that show is like now.

 

Carmine Giovinazzo: He is now doing a project called Un$uited. Hopefully I’ll see more of what he’s doing in the future. It turns out that he will also have a role in High Desert. That’s all that I see him doing at the moment in time.

 

Un$uited: This is a show about someone who wants to become a professional poker player before finding out just how much he sucks at it. It has no release date yet or trailer. I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on.

 

High Desert: This is set for release sometime in 2022. It is about a former addict who becomes a PI after the death of her mother. Sorry that this hadn’t gotten its own part of this blog before. Now it finally does as I understand it now and so does imdb.

 

Eric Close: After seeming to do only Christmas related things for a while, he is now set to star in The Mulligan. I look forward to seeing what else he might do in the end besides that. He is set to be in Investors. And that’s it for now.

 

The Mulligan: This seems to relate to golf in some ways, but is about far more than just that in the end. But I’d have to wait and see to know more about it. It is out now. I don’t know what else there is to say about it right now. There’s a trailer for this:

Thoughts on trailer: I’m not sure that I understand this entirely. This is related to God and Christianity? And it has been out a while? I guess that there are lessons to be learned because, of course there are. I don’t know what else there is to say about this.

 

Investors: This doesn’t have a release date yet. It also doesn’t have a trailer. But it does have a plot: an investor who cares too much about winning that he might lose more than just whatever the investments relate to. We’ll see if this is predictable or not.

 

William Jackson Harper: He is doing something called Dogs in Space. He is also in Love Life. He’ll also be in The Resort and Landscape with Invisible Hand. Two more things that he will be in are Jodie and A Man in Full.

 

Dogs in Space: This is a TV show. It is available now. The plot of it relates to genetically enhanced dogs trying to find a new planet called home. It is a kid’s show that is animated. I wonder what lessons there will be to learn from it.

Review: Show Description- Dogs are sent into space to find a new home for humans to live on. Behind the Scenes- This is a Netflix show. It stars William Jackson Harper from The Electric Company and The Good Place. My Thoughts- This is interesting and well done. It puts a lot of detail into world building and character development. I will admit, though, that it can seem cliché and a bit predictable in some places. Still, I give this four stars out of five. Long Term Prospects- I have no idea if this will last or not. Where to Find- This is a Netflix show, although the first episode is for free on YouTube as linked above

 

Love Life: This is about romance and it is a comedy. It’s also a TV show this is on HBO Max for its streaming subscribers. William’s character has to be an important one as he is the sole person on the poster for at least this season. There is a trailer for this:

 

Review: Status- Currently on HBO. Why I’ve seen it- I have a blog that covers things for certain actors and this was one of the projects that they were in. Description- I’m a bit unsure of this since the episode wasn’t entirely clear, but it seems to be a drama about the relationships of some people. Notable People- William Jackson Harper, from The Good Place and The Electric Company, is the possible star of this. Pros- Its plot isn’t that easy to predict. Cons- There was a lot in here that I didn’t like. It seems to have people not be that faithful to who they should be with. It wasn’t good or funny. There was nothing in here that made me want to watch it a second time even if I could. Note to Parents- While I doubt that the episode that I saw was certain to be as tame as the rest of them are, I would have to say that you shouldn’t let kids watch this at all. Recommendation- Don’t watch this at all. My Viewing Habits- I watched this once and won’t be seeing this again. Prediction- I can’t make predictions often about shows that aren’t on network TV so I’ll just say that this could last or might not. Reception: positive. Grade: F.

 

The Resort: This relates to true crime and a conspiracy to it relating to love. Unofficial sources says that this will be on Peacock, but as of yet, that is unconfirmed by me. It has a trailer that I’m delaying to get to until the next cast update. It is out now. If I can review it, I’ll get to it at some point in time, I hope.

 

Landscape with Invisible Hand: This is about teenagers who seek to save the world from aliens that control the economy. Stupid white people. Wait, these are from outer space. It has no release date yet or trailer. But it does sound interesting.

 

Jodie: This is a spin-off of the show Daria, of which I know little about. It does not have much of a plot beyond that right now. It has no release date at this moment. I guess that I will have to find out more about this later.

 

A Man in Full: The plot of this relates to a mogul facing a bankruptcy and defending his empire. There’s not much else to say about this until a trailer is released. There is no release date yet.

 

Simone Missick: She will be in a project called Hanging by a Thread. All Rise was picked up for a third season by OWN after all. I’m still including her in the updates for now, but plan to skip All Rise in the rotation of new people added to this blog (outside of confirmed former cast members and maybe the original showrunner) to avoid confusion until it ends for real in the future.

 

Hanging by a Thread: This has no release date or trailer yet. It is about a bipolar man who wants to enforce his medicine free ways on his nephew who is also bipolar. This seems like it could have a lesson or just be really strange. Hopefully the lesson is not what the uncle wants to have happen.

 

Gary Dourdan: He is doing a lot of projects. One of them is First Wives Club. He’ll also be in The Moderator. A third thing that he’s doing is The Sand Sea. A fourth thing that he is doing is Thebes. A fifth thing that he is doing is Mnemonix. A sixth thing that he is doing is Desdemona’s Revenge. A seventh thing that he is doing is Bonecrackers. An eighth that he is in is Zero. A ninth is The Lost Princess. That’s all of his for now.

 

First Wives Club: This is a TV show that airs on BET+. It is a comedy series about three women who form a friendship after their marriages fall apart. I doubt that I will be able to see it, but will include it in these updates as long as it lasts. There is a trailer for this that I’ll get to:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVvS_XdAIAw

 

Thoughts on trailer: Wow, there is a whole lot going on in this trailer and yet not much that I couldn’t get out of other things. I do wonder why they throw in so much stuff in there and am unsure of what is in there that I’d care about. I guess that I’m good without this in the end.

 

The Moderator: This is out now. In this movie or some other sort of drama, a female blogger wants to bring her own justice after two of her friends wind up murdered. As a real blogger, I’d have to recommend against vigilante justice. While there is a trailer for this, I’m going to forgo watching this since this is on streaming that I don’t have and am just going to remove this from the updates instead.

 

The Sand Sea: This is a drama set in the 1920s about a woman seeking to find what had happened to her kidnapped twin. This has no release date yet or trailer. It sounds like it could be an interesting plot. I just hope that they have real twins playing the role, unless it isn’t identical twins. This isn’t on imdb anymore. I’m unsure if this is still a project, albeit without Gary in it.

 

Thebes: This is a movie about a detective looking for a missing teen from a small town and learns that there are dark secrets there and she’ll have to face her past in some way. Now while this sounds interesting, it also sounds like the plot for plenty of other movies that already exist. This has no release date or trailer yet.

 

Mnemonix: It is about a virus that killed half of human life while also creating a new form of life as well. It is set for release sometime in 2022. It could be interesting, even with the unoriginal elements of The Time Machine, Avengers: Infinity Wars, and The Crossing.

 

Desdemona’s Revenge: Not surprisingly, this has no release date yet. It also had no trailer at this moment either. It is about a pair of thieves and the people chasing them with the plot on imbd possibly spoiling the entirety of this short.

 

Bonecrackers: The plot appears to be about a crime family of sorts. It has no release date yet nor does it have a trailer. I can’t tell what all to make out about this without going too much into the potential plot. But expect a lot of deception going on with the characters.

 

Zero: While this doesn’t have a release date yet, it does have a release year of 2022. It does not have a trailer, but it does sound very interesting. People have ten hours to find out why they have bombs attached to themselves. It could be an interesting thriller.

 

The Lost Princess: This movie is about a person who is transported to the past through a vision and then leaves to find out about his past. This has no trailer yet. Its release date is currently unknown. I hope to find out more about this over time.

 

Sofia Milos: I’ll have to see what else she might do in the future. I look forward to covering what all she is doing next. She is set to appear in Astoria. That’s about it for her for now. But at least that’s something.

 

Astoria: This has no release date yet or trailer. Set in part of Queens, it is about crime families dealing with drug running. I don’t think that I will like this and am better off without this. I don’t want to see shows or movies about drug running.

 

Vanessa Ferlito: She is currently set to be in Griselda. It is nice to finally see her now mentioned in something else since she hadn’t done anything for nearly a year now. So I guess we’ll see what becomes of this new project of hers.

 

Griselda: This has no release date mentioned yet. It also doesn’t yet have a trailer. But it does have a plot: Griselda Blanco created a profitable cartel. This would only be worth more of a story if this were true. Otherwise, it just sounds like bare elements of Breaking Bad but with a female lead (although it sounds very far from ripping that show off). Still, it can be hard sometimes to watch shows about criminals as I don’t like seeing terrible characters on TV.

 

Roselyn Sánchez: She has a major starring role in Fantasy Island. She is also starring in Gringa. Another thing that she’s currently in is Armas De Mujer. Those are the only things that I see of her right now. She has also appeared at times on Home Economics.

 

Fantasy Island: This is a remake of a show of the same name that aired a while back. It is a FOX show that is on hiatus right now. It is a bit hard to summarize and I don’t think that I care enough about it to watch it again in the future.

 

Review: Fantasy Island: Status- A FOX show, this is currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I tend to watch a new FOX show at least once nowadays. Noteworthiness- This is a remake of a show of the same name and might be set in the same universe as the new main character is said to be a descendent of the original one. Description- A woman brings people to an island with supernatural powers where they learn a life lesson under the guise of living a fantasy of theirs. Notable People- Roselyn Sánchez, from Without a Trace, among other things, is the main character of the show. Pros- It seems like a pretty decent show. It is good in enough ways. Cons- It may not be as interesting as I would like. A lot of this was confusing and didn’t make any sense to me. Some of this is too strange. Note to Parents- This has enough questionable stuff in it that probably isn’t good for kids, but some teens might be okay with it. Recommendation- I’d pass, but more because I don’t have time for it than anything. Prediction- I don’t know if this will last, although it might. I’d say that it will for now, but we’ll see if it does or not. It is hard for me to tell or make as much sense out of its ratings right now. Reception: somewhat favorable. Grade: D+.

 

Gringa: This could instead be called Halfway to Somewhere. It is a father and daughter coming of age comedy drama. I don’t know much about it other than that it doesn’t have a release date and it has no trailer yet either.

 

Armas De Mujer: This is a TV series that sounds quite interesting. It is about a group of women who have to deal with their husbands all being arrested for potentially being in the same criminal organization. It has no release date yet or trailer.

 

Jameela Jamil: There are four things that she’s currently in right now. The first is DC League of Super-Pets. The second is She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The third is The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. The fourth is Pitch Perfect. The fifth is Poker Face. That’s all for now.

 

DC League of Super-Pets: This is in theaters now. It is about Krypto the Super-Dog having to save his master Superman after Superman was kidnapped. Is there a rule that all Illumination Films have to use the exact same animation style? There is a trailer for this that I will talk about:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jkw2JPCl18

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, this trailer could be a lot better than it is. The movie doesn’t look like it would be terrible or anything like that, but it is hard to tell and know for sure with this as the trailer. Seeming to focus more on “funny” parts than the plot of it and having an identical animation style to The Secret Life of Pets (same studio?), I’m hoping that it can actually be better than how parts of it look. If a trailer is supposed to be all of the best parts of it, then this movie’s going to suck.

 

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: This doesn’t have a trailer yet. It has a release date of August 17, 2022. The only thing that is mentioned right now in terms of a plot is that a woman, namely Jennifer Walters, gets Hulk like powers. Who is Jennifer Walters? I guess that I’ll have to find out or see The Hulk movie that I still haven’t seen yet if that even explains. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gim2kprjL50

 

Thoughts on trailer: It seems like it could be a better trailer and look better than what it could be in the trailer. Maybe it will be good. I won’t know unless I wind up with Disney+ again or otherwise see this sometime. I have no idea what is with the sexist line about all women being angry. I also have no idea what’s wrong with dating in your 30s. And must there be hints about sex in this? I feel like putting a woman protagonist in any sexual situation seeks to take away from her potential power.

 

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight: This is about two people who fall in love on a flight together. It has no release date yet or trailer. I have no idea just how long this is as in if this is a short or a movie. I am pretty sure this is not a TV show and would bet money that this isn’t a video game.

 

Pitch Perfect: This is a TV show based on and continuing the movie series of the same name. It has no release date yet or trailer. It is about Bumper moving to Germany since one of his songs becomes big there. I guess that I might have to borrow any of the movies that I can to watch them so I know who Bumper even is in the first place.

 

Poker Face: There is no trailer for this yet. There’s no plot for it just yet. It is known that this will air on Peacock at some point in time. It is set for release in 2022. I guess we’ll see what happens with this in the future.

 

Audrey Corsa: She is currently in two things. One is Poker Face. The second is Dear Edward. There’s not much that I can say about her work other than that. No idea why she isn’t back for more of All Rise, but this is her future career now.

 

Poker Face: There is no trailer for this yet. There’s no plot for it just yet. It is known that this will air on Peacock at some point in time. It is set for release in 2022. I guess we’ll see what happens with this in the future.

 

Dear Edward: This is set for release sometime in 2023. This is a TV show where a boy loses his family in a plane crash and how various lives are affected as a result. I don’t know what network this will air on, but am expecting this to be on streaming given its low episode count for a first season.

 

Former projects: In this section, I will keep track of shows that people in this blog used to be mentioned in as doing in some way. I might keep track of other things too. This will be used to keep track of what shows might still be on even after someone has left it in some way. Dancing with the Stars is one of these shows. Since Shad Moss’s time in it is over, I’m including The Masked Singer in this part as well.

 

Dancing with the Stars- This is currently on hiatus. I watched it at least once to see what it’s like and because James Van Der Beak was on it. This is a reality competition show where professional dancers team up with celebrities of sorts.

 

Review: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched it since James Van Der Beek was in a season of it. Description- Celebrities team up with professional dancers to compete on a live show. Notable People- Carrie Ann Inaba, who was on The Talk, is a judge on the show. Pros- It can be better and more interesting than one might think, giving its genre. Cons- Too much time is wasted on this show due to set up to dances and other competitions. Note to Parents- Outside of sometimes inappropriate outfits, there might not be too much bad in the show, although you’d have to watch for yourself. Recommendation- This isn’t too bad, but isn’t outstanding either. The main reason why one wouldn’t want to watch it would be time commitment to other things. Prediction- This will probably keep lasting. Reception: good. Grade: B-.

 

The Masked Singer: I knew it was only a matter of time before someone that I covered in one of the cast updates was on this show. Thus, I’m going to include a review here. If I had to guess that anyone from any show I do cast updates of was going to appear on this show, I knew that it would probably be Shad Moss before it would be anyone else.

 

The Masked Singer review: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- It turns out that Shad Moss, whose career I follow for a blog, was on the show so I watched it to see what it was like. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from a South Korean show and is the first non Asian adaptation of the show. Description- Different celebrities in masks compete on a singing show where the loser gets unmasked. While all get unmasked at some point, the winner goes the longest without this fate. Notable People- Ken Jeong, from Community and Dr. Ken, is a judge on the show. Pros- This doesn’t have as bad a voting problem as other reality competition shows since what we see is always pretaped. Even if they aren’t professional singers, they can still be good. Cons- Some have complained that the results of voting is too random and can eliminate great professional singers from the game. Too much of this seems wasted on the banter between the judges and host or trying to guess the identities of the singers. Note to Parents- I haven’t seen enough of this to know if it is bad, but my guess is that this is something the whole family could watch. Recommendation- I think that it is a good show in the end and worth keeping up with if you don’t care much about anything else. My Viewing Habits- I saw this once in the third season before watching it a lot again in the fourth and fifth season. I don’t know yet if I will see it again due to scheduling conflicts. I probably won’t watch it again since someone was on it that I didn’t like at all to the point of wanting to give the show up forever as a result. Prediction- This will probably last quite a while since it is said to be the most watched show now. Reception: somewhat mixed. Grade: B-.

 

In order to keep track of new people, this post will start sharing a theme song from either the original CSI or CSI: New York until I’ve shared all of them in this blog and I’ve caught up with it as a result. You will have to read my Elementary blogs for the theme songs from CSI: Miami, although I will post any of them here in good time if the links become dead when I check them later.
