Divergent Movie

Hey all! I know it's been a long time since I have made a post! I have plan working full-time, going to school and planning a wedding, plus my "normal" amount of coaching. So sorry but it just doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging. So what is my first blog about.... the Divergent movie of course! It is set to hit theaters in late March and I am so excited. If you remember I posted about the book series in my book review column but the movie was just in the beginning phases... they didn't even have a Four casted yet. Well let me tell you that I am thrilled by their pick! I also did review on the show 'Golden Boy' that I was very sad to see get the ax.... well Four is that leading man.. Theo James. That just made the movie that much better for me. Just tell me how you can't look at this for an hour and a half and not be disappointed.

So yeah... Anyways, there is the casting of Tris Prior that we knew about before as Shailene Woodley (Secret life of an American Teenager). I wasn't thrilled about this at first but she has grown on me for the character and after seeing some of the trailers for the movie I think she will do pretty good. I also think these two will share the screen very well. Some of the other stars in the movie are Kate Winslet (Jeanine Matthews), Maggie Q (Tori), Miles Teller (Peter), Ashley Judd (Natalie Prior), Ansel Elgort (Caleb Prior), Tony Goldwyn (Andrew Prior), Jai Courtney (Eric), Ray Stevenson (Marcus Eaton), Mekhi Phifer (Max) and Zoe Kravitz (Christina). Take a look at the trailer and let me know your thoughts!!

Rookie Blue Season 4 Episode 2- "Homecoming"

Episode 2- "Homecoming"

This episode starts off with Oliver taking Noelle to meet Frank when they get a call to get with a shooting... its a fake and they set up for Frank to propose to Noelle. She says Yes!
Andy and Nick are back on the job after their week long debriefing from being undercover- which makes things a little weird with Andy and Sam... and Cruz

Oliver and Andy work together for the day. While stopped to get some drinks- Andy notices people running from a bank and heads over to see what it is. She calls for backup when she realize that the bank is being robbed. The man robbing the bank has a baby attached to him- takes the money and heads out the back door but not before he shoots the bank manager. After everyone gets there they find the 'fake' baby out back after the gunman ditched it.

They find the suspect in the ally but Andy isn't convinced that this is the guy. No one agrees and tells her that they have their guy. Andy heads back to the crime scene with Oliver to look around. She thinks this suspect had a partner and is determined to prove it and she finds it. A burner phone that was dumped- the calls are to the suspects old cellmate in jail. Turns out that the bank robber is the ex-boyfriend of the bank managers wife and this bank robbery was personal. They finally chase him down and bring him in... and he is mentally insane. 

Other personal stories for the episode: Nick asked Gail to move in with him she tells him know because she will be moving in with Dov when Chris moves out and already told Dov she would- but she is ecstatic that he asked. Andy and Sam have a conversation on the way to The Penny and Andy ask Sam "What happened to us" and he tells her that she walked away. She tells him that he broke her heart and he returns with "well you got me back." He does admit to her that Cruz isn't her and that seems to make Andy happy. Dov hooks up with a girl at the bar who pretty much throws herself at him. Oliver and Andy have a conversation when they are leaving and he tells her not to give up- that her and Sam where great together.

Tune in Thursday June 27th for the new episode. We will have to wait out the NBA finals before we get a new episode again. 

Rookie Blue Season 4 Episode 1- "Surprises"

Rookie Blue is BACK! Out of all the shows I watch this is the one that I wish had a new episode everyday! Well I would settle for a fall season then the quick summer three month series.

Episode 1- "Surprises"
This episode pick up right where last season left us but six months ahead. Andy and Nick have left and went undercover and have been silent to those back at 15th division. The open scene has everyone a little scared. Nick and his group have a drug pick up from a boat dropping it off while Andy waits at the house (they are a couple undercover). When the two get ready to leave for the night, three men with guns pushes them back into the room with the rest of Nick's group. They take the drugs and tell them that they work of the "other" drug lord of the city. This is all stage from the police to get the head of Nick's organization out in the open to try to collect on the stolen drugs.

Back at 15th division we find out that Sam is now a detective, Chris is still waiting to open his letter from Temins PD about his transfer but he is dragging his feet about see what it will say and Gail is waiting for Nick to come back. To boost number the team has to increase money... which means traffic stops. 
Oliver and Dov are out working the street when they stop someone for speeding... turns out to be the head of Nick's organization.

Back under cover, Nick's group shows up at their place and tells Nick that they have to go that a shipment is coming and they are going to unload it. They take his phone and Andy starts to panic. She calls in with her burner phone and the detective tells her to go over to the groups place and find out what is going on. When she gets there no one is home. She starts to snoop when one of the guys walks in. Things get a little awkward and when she goes to leave to find Nick "at the beach" the guy hits her over the head knocking her out. 
Back at division, the undercover leader for the drug squad Andy and Nick are undercover for is trying to get the drug dealer out of jail so he can follow him. Sam isn't going for it and wants answers, so detective Placsico gives him the answers. After being told not to do anything, Sam decides to go against that and him and Tracy take a drive to look around known locations of this drug dealer. When Sam finds a connection they call Placsico back in and that is when they find out that Andy and Nick are off the wire and have been for hours.

Andy gets taken and tied up from the guys in a truck. When the truck finally stops, Andy stands and kicks the person opening the door- turns out to be Nick. They take them into a room and introduce another member of the team. They want Nick to kill Andy because they think Andy is the leak. After much freaking out Nick tells Andy to trust him and she doesn't understand. Nick knows by the handle that the gun isn't loaded and fires. They trust Nick that he isn't the leak but tell him now that he really needs to kill her. Nick chargers the guy and tells Andy to run- she breaks free from the other guy and they run together to get away. He explains it to Andy when they get a chance and she is still ticked. 
Sam goes back to the drug deals front of a store to ask more questions in a lot dirtier of a way. He gets some answers but not enough. When they are leaving Andy calls him from a phone she finds on the wall before they run again and tries to find a way to tell them where they are (they are hiding in the back of a semi truck). Sam finds them and all ends good and the bad guys are arrested.

This is not Andy- Meet Cruz

Back at the station Dov reads Chris letter and it turns out that he gets the job a bump in rank and an extra $20,000 a year. We also find out that Sam has a new girlfriend, follow cop Cruz who is a new transfer because Noelle is out on leave. Andy sees Sam kiss Cruz and when Cruz leaves Sam looks up and sees Andy. They have a stare off and Andy shakes her head and walks off to do the debrief from the last six months.

What a start to the season. Will Andy and Sam work it out or are they done? Will this new connection Andy has formed with Nick become something or is it just a close bond the two have now? Also what will Gail think of their new friendship? So many questions to be answered. Let me know your thoughts on the premiere.

Chicago Fire Episode 23 & 24- "Let Her Go" "A Hell of a Ride"

Episode 23- "Let Her Go"

The previous episode is very sad after Halle's death. Casey must now find a way to come to terms with it and the way he does that is trying to find out what happened to cause the fire. Halle's death forces Casey to team up with the Intelligence Unit, now run by Voight, who doesn't appear to have changed his crooked ways which causes Casey not to trust in him to figure this out. After the autopsy is performed they inform Casey that Halle was killed before the fire got to her from a blow to the head. The Intelligence Unit works the case which includes Antonio and a new agent  Julie (lead in's to the spin-off I am guessing).  Some interesting things happen in this episode with Voight. At time you are not sure if he is actually a bad guy or just playing a bad guy to help with some undercover criminal investigation  It is very miss leading and it make you wonder. Then at the end of the episode when they check the guy he has Casey at gun point with Antonio trying to talk him down when Voight comes up. The man acts like seeing Voight is a good thing and asks him to tell Antonio something while Voight just comes up and shots him in the head, killing him instantly.... makes you wonder if Voight has something to do with Halle's death.

Meanwhile, Shay's excitement at the prospect of becoming a parent grows, her and Kelly have an appointment at the clinic the following day.

Mills and Dawson face some personal challenges. Mills is still upset that Dawson didn't tell him about his mother and Chief Bowden. Mills tells her he needs some time- she lets him know that he needs to figure it out one way or another and Dawson leaves.

Meanwhile, the house comes together to support the opening of Molly's. They decide to honor Halle at the opening and donating all profits to the Children's Hospital. 

Episode 24- "A Hell of a Ride" Season Finale

The house gets a call to put out a fire in Cook County jail and walks into volatile situation. While at the jail the squad is inside when the power is cut; which means everything is on lock down. Casey team is inside a cell block unit when this happens with the most dangerous of groups. The inmates are the ones that started the fire with an electrical outlet. One guard is killed by the inmates and the teams is now being hunted by this group. They barricade themselves into a room and have the squad members outside the lock down unit to go and help change the direction of the air ducts to smoke the inmates out. This is eventually the way they get out once the power is brought back.

Also during this time Mills and Dawson are stuck together and forced to talk about their relationship. They agree to start fresh and be honest but Mills just has one question for Dawson. That question... "Do you have feelings for Casey?" She isn't able to give him the answer he is looking for... pretty much ending their relationship. Mills also finds out that he did not get the green light for move squad to work with Kelly. While outside Shay gets a call from her doctor and finds out that the treatment didn't work and she isn't pregnant. 

Meanwhile Herman's wife goes into labor while they are locked down and Shay keeps getting updates to radio into Herman from the hospital. Once out of the jail the police rush Herman to the hospital because the baby was having trouble breathing. At the hospital after everything is okay, Herman and his wife ask Shay and Kelly to be the godparents. 

At the end of the episode we see Mills go into the police station and ask for an application (my guess he will be moving to the spin-off show). Dawson goes over to Casey's place to see how he is going and finds that Casey has being living off his couch and everything is a mess in his house. He breaks down and tells her nothing feels right with Halle being there. Shay and Kelly are getting ready to walk into their apartment when Renee (Kelly's old girlfriend that wanted him to move away) is at the front steps. He asks what she is doing back and she tells him she wanted to tell him in person and then she reveals her belly- letting us all know that she is pregnant. Shay looks devastated because she probably is thinking that Kelly won't try again to have a baby with her. 

One last thing, down the road from Molly's a new sports bar is under construction... how will think affect Molly's?

What will next season bring to Chicago Fire? So many cliff hangers... Way in on your thoughts for the season.
