After 15 seasons Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) will say good bye to NCIS, I hope she is not killed off as suggested in the preview for Episode 22 Season 15 "Two Steps Back", But if that happens I understand why. I am a fan of the show and understand decisions have to be made and life goes on.
No matter what dark situation happened in the NCIS world, Abby was that point of light in the episode. When Abby hurt you hurt, If Abby said it was going to be OK then it was OK. I am confident if the Zombie Apocalypse ever happen on NCIS, Abby would be a light of hope.
It seems on Twitter that Pauley Perrette has that same spark. Yes I know we have drastic different opinions on how the world should work, but I am also thankful that not everyone thinks like me and people like Pauley exist. Sometimes people need to stop watching actions and listen to what the statement is. Pauley does both very well.
Pauley is one of those people that I can disagree with but like to listen to, not to pick a fight but better understand what I am disagreeing with and maybe just maybe change my attitude. We all have to live on this rock together, we should learn how to get along no matter how deep the divide is. And when I say disagree, it does not mean hate. I truly believe that Pauley is a good person.
Pauley's light shined in Abby on NCIS. Her love for People and Animals and all things good found a way on the show.
Pauley Perrette if you are reading this, I will sincerely miss you and all that you brought to the show.
Last Tuesday night I watched the two hour premier of a seven part series Agent Carter, and I was entertained. This was a smart compelling story and You felt the presence of Stan Lee. And for a first episode, you did not have that long overdrawn introduction of who the characters are and felt the need to build a relationship with them. Yes it is true we know who Agent Carter is from the Captain America movies, but they did not spend a lot of time in building the story, it was already there but not really.
Obviously Agent Carter and a show like HBO's Game of Thrones is very different, but like Game of Thrones it is not over powered by the Sci-Fi /Fantasy genre, but we know it's there. I got the feeling this is going to be the story of what happen to Agent Carter after Captain American. Now you may read this and say no kidding, but do you remember when Marvel Agents of Shield started? In the beginning I could not figure out where the show was going and almost gave up on the show till after it's mid season break in it's first season. Agent Carter TV series, like Agents of Shield will be part of the whole Avengers story line.
With only watching one episode, I am sorry that it's only going to be a seven part series, but I am glad they are doing that so they don't wear out it's welcome by making episodes just to make episodes. But I will catch all of the series and I hope everyone else will too.
I am also hoping to see more Marvel spin offs. Why? well Law and Order worked on NBC, CSI and NCIS works for CBS, so why not more Sci-Fi on ABC. I think LOST 2004-2010 started it all for ABC. And after only 6 seasons ABC learned there lessons about making episodes to make episodes, but the series was very popular and then came ONCE. In most cases networks are learning to make a story instead of having a weekly series. However I still enjoy the weekly old fashion detective show and if the writing is good, there is no problem keeping that type of series around.
There are those moments in TV that burn in our minds that we can never forget. For some reason they stir up emotions that we never knew we had. It is the big visual aide to life like we never thought about or it just made you laugh. For what ever reason it's a classic moment in your TV history, these are mine.
1) Look at the Flowers
This disturbed child was being lead to her execution. I was thinking about Carol and Sophia and the way that ended when Sophia came out of Hershel's barn in season 2 as a walker after they had been searching for her for so long. I have no words for Lizzie. She was a messed up innocent kid that saw the Zombie Apocalypse as a rebirth for everyone. Did this represent a child's way of dealing with the horror of what happened. This happened in the episode called "The Grove" Season 4 episode 14. Carols heart breaking execution, escorting Lizzie to her death gave me chills and broke my heart for the child and made me forget how disturbed Lizzie was. I wanted to rescue Lizzie but knew it was wrong.
2) The Death of Beth Green
Beth Green was the youngest and most innocent of Hershel Green's Daughters, She was not one of the big time favorite characters but she was sweet and very kind.
I wrote this in a earlier blog post
Beth was a very lovable character, she started out in a very dark place
in her life when we first saw her in the second episode of Season Two
episode called "Bloodletting". She was not a secure person and had major
emotional issues dealing with the new world. But she became stronger as
the series went on. She became the bright spot of the group when
everything was doom and gloom. It seemed she loved and trusted everyone
she was around. She never said no when she was directed to do a task.

Beth Green Death scene took place in Episode 8 of Season 5 titled "Coda"
3) Emily Kinney's interview on the Talking Dead
It is apparent that the cast and crew of the Walking Dead are like a close net family. In a interview with her on the Talking Dead Emily becomes emotional when talking about the day when the episode was filmed.
4) King Joffrey Dies
I don't know any character that was ever more hated then King Joffery from "The Game of Thrones" in the Purple Wedding. I hated him every time I saw his face on the screen. While I enjoyed watching him die, I wanted a more traumatic and dramatic death scene, but it would not go with the story line that was written.
5) The Mountain Kills The Red Viper
I was sure that the Red Viper was going to win, I just felt that some way he would win. No Matter how many times the writers had surprised me in other episodes. But again I was stunned when the Mountain squeezed his head until his eyes popped out. Game of Thrones never disappoints even when your jaw hits the floor in surprise of a event
6) Avery and Juliett get Married on Nashville
This is kind of sappy I know, but to me this is saying no matter how bad the storm is there is always hope for a better tomorrow. Ok so this marriage may end in sorrow as most TV marriages do.
But for one moment in time, things where good and sunshine found it's way past the storm clouds.
7) NCIS: I Love You Dad
In the Christmas episode, 10th of Season 12, McGee is writing a letter to his Dad. What you do not know is his father has passed away. McGee's letter is what I think what sons often see in there Father. Father and Sons often have this distant but close relationship. Things they don't understand get in the way of love. Anyway it was a very special episode.
8) Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings fight for the family in the Americans on FX
Everything is ok and fine with Mother Russia until they try to pull the family in. This is with any parent. No matter how big the enemy is, leave our family out of it.
9) Hannibal Display of Beverly Katz
One of the most disturbing corpse scenes I have ever viewed was on NBC Hannibal.
No explanation needed just watch.
10) The Death of Elam Ferguson
There is nothing worse then killing your best friend, This episode reminded me of when Obi Wan Kenobi fought Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode III. This was was much more painful, but a great episode.
