"Here we go again."
Hello everyone!
So I'm kinda cheating this week.
LOL as if that wasn't immediately obvious from the title of this post!
But I honestly didn't have time to really watch anything during this past weekend, HOWEVER, I was VERY much watching all the premieres that went live as the new show season FINALLY started.
This means most shows will only be sharing shortened, 13-or-so long seasons, which is half of what they'd usually do.
Considering we're losing at least one or two good ones, this is a crying shame, but nothing we can do about it now.
Instead, let's just hop right into it!
I know I definitely haven't done a post like this before on this blog, or if I have, it's been literal years, so there won't be any links at the bottom of this page, unfortunately.
Onwards!
NCIS: Hawai'i is the first of our returning shows, and Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) is dealing with all the hoops that come from being injured at the end of the previous season so she can get back to work. Not a moment too soon either, because the entire supposedly secure database of the US Marshals is made free on the dark web, and it turns out that's only so someone can get their hands on a prisoner that's being moved, which is where we pick up the story.
Also, poor Jessie needs a pay raise for having to field all the bureaucracy for his boss!
FBI, the mothership which launched all the other spin-offs, comes next, in which Scola is dealing with baby duty, and OA (Zeeko Zaki) and Maggie (Missy Peregrym) take a backseat so their co-worker Tiffany can take a more active leading role as they try to track down who blew up a bus full of innocent people early in the morning in NYC. It turns out to be a bunch of terrorists out of Somalia, and the worst part is we haven't even gotten to capturing their leader yet, but I'm sure that's coming soon too.
Sadly, we say farewell to an agent during the season premiere, in a reminder that this job is much more dangerous than everyone lets on.
FBI: Most Wanted introduces Nina (Shantel VanSanten) to the fly team; she was originally with the FBI crew but switched lanes very recently and is on hand to help when they're trying to figure out what the heck a missing person from NASA has to do with anything ... turns out, it's everything, though, because a coordinated attack to take over the government's satellites starts happening because of people disillusioned with the government, and one can only hope that it's just the one, not too many, because they barely manage it!
FBI: International picks up right where the previous season left off, in that a bomb just went boom so we're checking in with the entire crew, and sending one of them to the hospital with a severed artery and the threat of having his leg amputated. Thankfully, that doesn't have to happen, but the hunt to discover proof about who had the bomb go off begins, and Scott (Luke Kleintank) doesn't rest or blink until he gets to the bottom of it all.
Another agent leaves the scene here for greener pastures, but at the very least this isn't a death choice!
S.W.A.T. is the last one of the CBS shows to watch, and it gives us a flashback to a case Hondo (Shemar Moore) worked back in the day, which is coming to fruition in present day ... until the criminal Mexico is extraditing to the US is freed, and all hell breaks loose while the SWAT team members there help to recapture him.
Of course things also don't go smoothly because we're an agent down by the end of the two-part premiere, but at the very least we know she's a series regular so she can't be dead, right? RIGHT?!
And there you have it, CBS's action-packed week of premieres! I honestly don't think there was an episode I didn't thoroughly enjoy, particularly since all of them took FOREVER to get back on air. A special shout-out goes to LL Cool J for his guest starring role on NCIS: Hawai'i because ... man, ain't nobody as funny as this guy LOL
I might do little recaps throughout the show season as we go, so stay tuned and keep checking back to see what's what.
Until then, see you soon.
