“No need to call the authorities. I just want to talk, Flash,” says Ramsey (Sendhil Ramamurthy) to a surprised Barry Allen in his apartment in season six episode seven of The CW’s The Flash.

Episode seven picks up right where the story left off last week with Ramsey tackling Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) off of a roof. They both use their meta powers to handle the fall and crash land in an alley. Ramsey and Ralph fight and Ramsey uses his black gooey blood to hurtle a car at Ralph who uses his elastic skills to catch it and fling it back at Ramsey who it just misses. Ramsey then hits Ralph with his black blood and infects him with it. He leaves saying that everyone on Team Flash must die.

Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker) breaches into the alley, finds Ralph, and gets him back to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Frost panics and doesn’t know what to do so she has Caitlin come out. Caitlin believes a blood transfusion using Barry’s speedster blood might help cure Ralph of the poison from Ramsey’s black blood. Barry has “O” blood type which can be used universally in transfusions. It works, and Ralph’s condition stabilizes but he isn’t out of the woods yet.

Barry heads home and just as he’s getting comfortable he senses someone’s there. He turns to find Ramsey in his apartment. Ramsey reveals he knows about the upcoming Crisis and that Barry is The Flash. Barry says he’ll stop him but Ramsey points out he knows Barry’s afraid – and should be – with the end of the world about to happen. Barry sees anti-matter traveling through Central City and wakes up with a start. He was dreaming.

Frost and Caitlin check out Barry at S.T.A.R. Labs and she tells him his system seems to be fine and that it was most likely just a nightmare. However, he confesses there was something to it that felt different. She puts a small wrist monitor on him to monitor his vitals while he sleeps to be safe.

Over at Iris’ paper, Allegra (Kayla Compton) and Iris (Candice Patton) are going to work on a story together and track the man who Ralph got a photo of last week – the man who might be responsible for turning Allegra’s cousin into an evil meta. Allegra’s still bothered that Iris didn’t tell her Barry is The Flash or about the upcoming Crisis but doesn’t say anything to her about it. Later when they interview the man on a street, he tells them he basically handles rides for whoever hires him. The people are almost always rich. Basically, it’s Uber for the filthy rich.

Barry goes back to his loft and sees his mother (Michelle Harrison). He asks, “Is this another nightmare?” and she replies, “No, Barry, this is much worse.” Barry realizes the Speed Force has taken the image of his mother to talk to him again. The Speed Force tells Barry some of Ramsey’s black blood made its way into Barry during the transfusion and his speed healing is struggling to stop it from taking him over and turning him into one of Ramsey’s zombies. Barry has to fight it with his mind in order to win.

Ramsey appears to Barry and a battle of wills begins. Ramsey informs Barry that his blood will not only save Barry but everyone else from the Crisis. In a truly creepy scene, Barry sees everyone he loves – Joe (Jesse L. Martin), Iris, Cisco (Carlos Valdes), Ralph, and Frost – sitting at a table enjoying Thanksgiving dinner. Ramsey serves them lasagna full of the black gooey blood. His friends start eating it and then try and get Barry to eat some. Barry resists and says it’s not real.

Ramsey shows Barry an image of Barry’s daughter as a baby in her crib, but Barry can’t pick her up. His hands go right through her. Tears form in his eyes and he says he knows it’s not real but he wants to pretend and hold her. Ramsey says it’s all up to Barry. Ramsey assures Barry he can live and save everyone if he just joins him and holds out his hand.

Barry starts to waver and is quickly rushed out of the room by the Speed Force.

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Frost notices Barry’s vitals are spiking on his wrist monitor and she breaches over with Cisco to the apartment. She quickly realizes he’s reacting to Ramsey’s blood and they breach him back to the lab. Frost tries to give him some medicine to counter the blood but it doesn’t work. She freezes and has a panic attack, fearing Barry’s going to be lost.

In another part of town, Allegra reveals to Iris she knows Barry is The Flash and she knows about the article she’ll write about his vanishing during Crisis. She confesses it was that article that inspired her and that she needs to write it. Joe also shows Iris, Allegra, and Cisco’s girlfriend – who has joined the investigation – that the car of the man they interviewed earlier that day exploded with him in it. They decide to keep investigating knowing now just how dangerous it is.

Back at the loft, Barry confesses to the Speed Force that he feels he just really started living and doesn’t want to die. The Speed Force tells Barry that just means he’s human but it’s how he always rises above his fears and does what needs to be done is what makes him a hero. Barry comments on how convincing Ramsey’s lies are and the Speed Force tells him Ramsey isn’t lying about his blood being able to save him during Crisis.

Hearing this, Barry becomes even more upset and angry, especially after the Speed Force says it chose him and it’s the reason for all his pain and suffering. He asks when the Speed Force will suffer. Just as The Reverse Flash stabbed Barry’s mother, Nora, in the heart to kill her, Barry phases his hand into the Speed Force, still using the image of his mother which causes it to weaken.

Cisco runs and grabs Velocity X and injects it into Barry to help his speed healing. It gives the Speed Force more energy and it tells Barry if he lets Ramsey’s blood take him over, his body will survive but his soul and who he is will be lost.

Barry wakes up in S.T.A.R. Labs. He seems himself and tells Cisco and Frost about what it was like in his mind. Cisco wants him to rest but he says he needs to get ready for Crisis. Cisco turns to Frost after Barry leaves the med bay and asks if she wants to talk about what happened. Frost says she already has with Caitlin and they have agreed from now on when medical emergencies come up Catlin will take over and Frost will take a back seat. Cisco asks if she’s okay with that and Frost replies, “It’s best for the team.”

Iris starts writing the article about The Flash vanishing during Crisis and is interrupted by a message from Cisco about Barry. (What is the rush on her article?! Journalists are supposed to report the news, not predict it.)

Iris hurries over to S.T.A.R. Labs and finds Barry focused on running some diagnostics on the computer. He claims he’s fine but seems off to her. She starts asking him questions which he shuts down quickly. She says she’ll see him later and slowly walks over to Cisco and Caitlin. Iris whispers “Guys, that’s not Barry.”

Cisco tries to talk to Barry and that’s when Barry turns, eyes full of black goo and mouth dripping with it. Ramsey has taken over Barry’s body! He speeds away, knocking out Cisco, Frost, and Iris with his speed.

Down in the sewers, Nash Wells (Tom Cavanagh) uses a special device to break apart the rock hiding the door where The Monitor is. In the process, he discovers symbols.

The last scene shows The Flash speeding around the city, arriving at Ramsey’s location. “Welcome, my blood brother. I am the world’s salvation. Soon the entire world will embrace Bloodwork,” says Ramsey as the black goo-controlled Flash kneels before him.

Review of The Flash Season 6 Episode 7:

Dark, disturbing, and creepy, season six episode seven titled “The Last Temptation of Barry Allen, Part 1” is very different than most The Flash episodes and has a horror movie feel to it. It also has two stand-out performances by Grant Gustin and Sendhil Ramamurthy.

Gustin shines as the confused, tormented, and haunted Barry Allen who finally admits he’s afraid of dying and isn’t ready to leave those he loves behind. The scene where he tries to hold baby Nora and can’t is heartbreaking. Gustin’s performance is award-worthy with all the emotion he brings to the scenes.

Ramamurthy is wonderful as the now crazed and devilish Dr. Ramsey Rosso who’s so terrified of death he can’t see that what he’s becoming and what he’s doing to others is a fate far worse than death.

With The Flash now a super-speeding zombie controlled by Ramsey, it’s up to the rest of Team Flash to find a way to free Barry of the black goo and to stop Ramsey for good before the Crisis is upon them.

Peter Weller returns to direct CBS’s Magnum P.I. season two episode 10, “Blood Brothers.” (Weller previously directed season one episode eight.) Episode 10 was written by Peter Lenkov and Eric Guggenheim and will air on Friday, December 6, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT.

Guest stars include Louis Lombardi, Yihya Eldein, Zehra Fazal, Peter Rodbell, Jacob White, Mohit Gautam, Antonio Jaramillo, and Yousef Azami.

Jay Hernandez stars as Thomas Magnum, Perdita Weeks plays Juliet Higgins, and Zachary Knighton is Orville “Rick” Wright. Stephen Hill is Theodore “TC” Calvin, Tim Kang is Det. Gordon Katsumoto, and Amy Hill plays Kumu. Brooke Lyons appears in a recurring role as Abby Miller.

“Blood Brothers” Plot – Magnum, flooded with memories of his tour in Afghanistan, helps his fallen friend’s brother search for a now-grown Afghan boy who may have been a victim of trafficking.

The Series Description, Courtesy of CBS:

“Magnum P.I. is a modern take on the classic series centering on Thomas Magnum, a decorated former Navy SEAL who, upon returning home from Afghanistan, repurposes his military skills to become a private investigator. A charming rogue, an American hero and a die-hard Detroit Tigers fan, Magnum lives in a guest cottage on Robin’s Nest, the luxurious estate where he works as a security consultant to supplement his P.I. business.

The “majordomo” of the property is Juliet Higgins, a beautiful and commanding disavowed MI:6 agent whose second job is to keep Magnum in line, with the help of her two Dobermans. When Magnum needs back-up on a job, he turns to his trusted buddies and fellow POW survivors, Theodore “TC” Calvin, a former Marine chopper pilot who runs Island Hoppers, a helicopter tour business, and Orville “Rick” Wright, a former Marine door-gunner-turned-impresario of Oahu’s coolest nightclub and the most connected man on the island.

Suspicious of Magnum’s casual attitude and presence at his crime scenes, Detective Gordon Katsumoto finds that he and Magnum are more alike than either of them care to admit. One of Magnum’s biggest supporters is Teuila “Kumu” Tuileta, the unofficial “House Mom” and cultural curator of Robin’s Nest. With keys to a vintage Ferrari in one hand, aviator sunglasses in the other, and an Old Düsseldorf longneck chilling in the fridge, Thomas Magnum is back on the case!”

“Dripsy” Plot – Lola exercises a rarely used judicial power when she fires a lawyer for failing to provide a robust defense for his client. Also, Mark’s dad, Vic (Tony Denison), is arrested for murder.

Details on All Rise, Courtesy of CBS:

“All Rise is a courthouse drama that follows the chaotic, hopeful and sometimes absurd lives of its judges, prosecutors and public defenders, as they work with bailiffs, clerks and cops to get justice for the people of Los Angeles amidst a flawed legal process. Among them is newly appointed Judge Lola Carmichael (Missick), a highly regarded and impressive deputy district attorney who doesn’t intend to sit back on the bench in her new role, but instead leans in, immediately pushing the boundaries and challenging the expectations of what a judge can be.”

Samantha Mathis (Billions, The Strain) guest stars in CBS’s Bull season four episode nine, “The Flying Carpet.” Airing on Monday, November 25, 2019 at 10pm, episode nine was directed by Anne Hamilton from a script by Chamblee Smith.

“The Flying Carpet” guest stars also include Demosthenes Chrysan, Montego Glover, Griffin Santopietro, Patricia Mauceri, Denim, Carol McCormick, and Alyssa Keegan. In addition, Michael McFadden, Brianna Swann Christie, Debra Wassum, John B. McCann, David Oliver, and Ashley Brooke are featured in episode nine.

The cast is led by Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull, Freddy Rodriguez as Benny Colón, Geneva Carr as Marissa Morgan, Jamie Lee Kirchner as Danny James, Christopher Jackson as Chunk Palmer, and MacKenzie Meehan as Taylor Rentzel.

“The Flying Carpet” Plot – Bull represents a large insurance company and its clients, married pizzeria owners who are being sued for negligence by a teenager who was injured while climbing their rooftop signage. As the trial gets underway, Bull realizes the case has no clear winners, as the small business owners could lose their livelihood, the plaintiff may never walk again and the insurance company refuses to settle.

Bull Series Details, Courtesy of CBS:

Bull stars Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull in a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, the founder of one of the most prolific trial-consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. His personal life proves harder to manage as he tries to live a healthier lifestyle following a heart attack and learns he is expecting a child with his ex-wife.

Bull employs an enviable team of experts at Trial Analysis Corporation to shape successful narratives down to the very last detail. This includes his quick-witted former brother-in-law, Benny Colón, a lawyer who acts as defense attorney in the company’s mock trials; Marissa Morgan, a neurolinguistics expert from the Department of Homeland Security who monitors shifting jury reactions in real-time for Bull; former NYPD detective Danny James, the firm’s tough but relatable investigator; Taylor Rentzel, a working mother and former colleague of Marissa’s who is an expert in coding and computer hacking; and Chunk Palmer, a former all-American lineman and stylist-turned-law student who helps clients prepare their look and testimony for trial.

In high-stakes trials, Bull’s combination of remarkable insight into human nature, three Ph.D.’s and a top-notch staff creates winning strategies that tip the scales of justice in his clients’ favor.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Review

By

November 25, 2019

Sometimes we need to be reminded there’s good in the world. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood effectively drives that point home, not with a sledgehammer but in the kindest and gentlest of ways. The 2019 potential awards contender is an engaging story about Fred Rogers, a man beloved by millions, and a journalist whose life was forever changed after being drawn into Fred’s world.

Fred Rogers genuinely loved people, a trait that’s not always found in the DNA of those in public life. He was sympathetic to those in need, lending a judgment-free ear before rendering a thoughtful response. Watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood felt like spending time with an old friend who knew just how you were feeling and uttered just the right words of encouragement.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was inspired by journalist Tom Junod’s “Can You Say…Hero?” 1998 feature published in Esquire. The Americans’ Matthew Rhys stars as NY journalist Lloyd Vogel, the film’s version of Junod. Oscar winner Tom Hanks slips smoothly into the role of the iconic Fred Rogers, a casting choice that no doubt would have pleased the real Mister Rogers who passed away in 2003. (Hanks was Fred Rogers’ favorite actor.)

Like the article, the film examines the relationship that developed between a journalist assigned to write a short puff piece and Fred Rogers, the subject of the piece. Cynical and used to tackling darker subject matter, Lloyd was initially unwilling to believe the Mister Rogers on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood wasn’t just a character conceived and played by Fred Rogers.

From their very first encounter, Fred Rogers welcomed Lloyd into his life, instantly recognizing Lloyd as a man who was broken in some way and in need of a friend. Fred Rogers was a shining beacon of light and Lloyd initially refused to allow himself to be brought into that light. Lloyd was confused by what he ultimately came to understand was simply Fred’s innate goodness.

The film doesn’t rush to show Lloyd’s eventual transformation from skeptic to true believer in the fact Fred was the real deal: a genuine, empathetic gentleman. Lloyd, married with a child, didn’t have a loving relationship with his father. The two barely spoke, but kind words of advice from Fred Rogers helped turn that relationship around before it was too late.

Fred Rogers was a compassionate man who taught generations it’s not only okay to feel sad or angry but also normal to have such feelings. In the film, we witness how those teachings deeply affect the life of one man in particular.

Discussing the timeliness of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, director Marielle Heller said, “We are at a point where it feels like the divide, politically, is bigger than ever, it feels that way. I don’t know if that’s true, but there’s so much violence and there’s so much to be confused by, and to feel lost in. And I think finding and hearing Fred’s voice is really reassuring in these times. There’s something about his message that feels more important now than ever.”

Mister Rogers comforted millions of kids over the years and was willing to explore topics off-limits in standard children’s fare. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood urges us to be more like Mister Rogers in a world that tries to marginalize positive people while showcasing the negative.

CBS’s Hawaii Five-0 will take time off for the Thanksgiving holidays, returning December 6, 2019 with season 10 episode 10. “O ‘oe, a ‘owau, nalo ia mea,” which means “you and me, it is hidden” in Hawaiian, was directed by Kristin Windell from a script by Paul Grellong and Rob Hanning.

The Series Description, Courtesy of CBS:

“Hawaii Five-O is a contemporary take on the classic series about an elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the islands’ sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer turned cop, returned to Oahu after Hawaii’s former governor persuaded him to head up the new team: his rules, no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest “game” in town.

Joining McGarrett are Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, a relocated ex-New Jersey cop who is committed to keeping the islands safe for his children; Captain Lou Grover, who formerly headed Hawaii’s SWAT unit; Jerry Ortega, the islands’ local conspiracy theorist; Tani Rey, a bold, recent police academy graduate; Junior Reigns, a former SEAL who comes to McGarrett looking for a job, Adam Noshimuri, a friend with old ties to a deadly crime family and Quinn Liu, a former Staff Sergeant with Army CID who was recently demoted for insubordination.

Helping them is Kamekona, a local entrepreneur who has his pulse on the Island; Sgt. Duke Lukela, a trusted member of the HPD; and medical examiner Dr. Noelani Cunha. The state’s brash Five-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves, remain determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state.”
