Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the most recent episode of the CBS drama Madam Secretary.  This episode was called convergence and yes, we had the doomsday storyline and the CIA mole storlyline coming togthere. But really, I think for most of us, it was the convergence of Cupcake Wars and Tim Daly’s broken legs.  Storylines: The search for the CIA mole and the missing stinger missiles and a guy that was clearly inspired by Ken Bone.  In the middle of this storyline, we get a mob lawyer who barges into Bess’s house somehow and she watches a lot of Cupcake Wars.  Duck Dynasty Doomsday—Ian the agent we don’t really care about is being drugged. But WhatEvs. Then Henry gets shot at and we finally get the answer to how with the writers include Tim Daly's actual broken legs into the show.  The extinction of the Black Rhino in Nambia—Bess puts out a challenge for all DOS empolyess: come out with an out of the box  solution. An analyst on the global health desk rises to the challenges and it involves Viagra. Erection jokes follow.  Father- son storyline about building henry’s childhood toy and Jason joining in, but only as he wants. By watching YouTibe videos and reporting back.  A few observations:  I don’t trust Captain Baker. Something about her. Loved the scene where Bess promoted the young woman who came up with the Viagra solution.  Nadine and Mike B—let’s see more of that. Binders full of blouses: We had a lot of repeats this week which is how real women dress, so that’s cool.  Julie loved the fresh eyewear.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Break in Diplomacy  Let’s play, Who’s the inspiration? Hmm, let see, who were the writers at Madam Secretary thinging about when they wrote this episode?  Thais was a serious episode featuring serious themes and a world leader known for being a rough around the edges narcissitic businessman who ran an usual campaign and has a history of lewd behavior and corrupt business dealings with an unusually close ties to a country that was a former foe.  If you guessed the Phillipines, you guessed right! Actually, that is the reputation of the ACTUAL president of the philipines Storylines: Sock it to me, Bess or Let Them Eat Drones The Singapore Exchange – a meaningful territorial accord with Asia Pacific. She ends up getting in a fist fight with a a dirty and dirty Philipine leader, forcing her to decide – like evry woman ever—should she say something? But she can only make this decision after digging into what appears to be the biggest bowl of cereal ever poured.  Usually Julie is here to explain the political gamesmanship of the South China Sea. What you got Liz? Jay Undercover Bess gets her CIA on and enlists Sadsack Jay to investigate the suspicious death of Kevin from Accountant, a deep cover CIA agent. Turns out Jay is pretty goos at spycraft and undercovers Kevins real mission Duck Dynastys Goes to the Devil We are rejecting this storyline on the grounds that henry seems way in over hi head. But I don’t trust Ian and his neck tattoos. Not one bit.  Binders Full of Blouses The star of the show—the Carolina Herrera dress Bess wore for seemingly 36 hours without a wrinkle.

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the CBS drama, Madam Secretary called The Beautiful Game Three storylines Iran/Isreal Peace Deal Nobel Nomination vs. Madam Sexy-tary Personal Toll of grueling diplomacy work First—a shout out to Tim Daly who was in a serious skiing accident at Park City—Julie notes homage to Tim's legs First storyline: Iran/Isreal Well guess what? A complicated middle east peace plan falls apart over major negotiating points like recognizing Isreal’s right to exist and the acknowledgement of Isreal’s nuclear program. But I think we really have to note that bess tries HYGGE to seal the peace deal—the Cozy Lifestyle at Camp David! It fails but didn’t you want to cozy up before the fire in your woolen sock, drink glog and forge peace in the Middle East. That doesn’t work, but soccer does! Second Storyline: Sexy Magazine photo spread undermines Secretary’s professionalism. And it REALLY BUGS Bess.  Well, maybe if she stopped wearing black lingerie under white blouses! Good and timely storyline… Finally, POOR JAY Touches on the personal lives of the staffers occasionally and I like those storylines. Burn-out is real in DC and it must take a very difficult toll on couples, new parents. Jay’s wife has had it… Henry’s weird storyline—all I have to say is that Henry gets into a lot of life threateneing situtaions for a theologian.  Binders full of blouses Red Puffer Coat The camel coat Daisy’s dress and THE CAPE!!

Julie has Tuesday Trends. The first is about Rustic Cuffs. The second is Daybreaker.  She suggests the latter for Liz and Lian in Los Angeles as part of their new morning routines. Liz reaches a laziness low-point. Blame it on the FitBit. Hear all about it, plus the launch of her Operation Sea Turtle with a Twist. We have a few gut reactions to the Oscar nominations. Lots of good movies we can get behind this year but there may be a showdown in Best Song. Julie wants Justin Timberlake, of course. Liz wants Lin-Manuel Miranda, of course. And Lian is solidly behind LaLaLand. We close with a thank you from Liz who is very grateful for all your kind thoughts and messages about the loss of her beloved dog Ferris. Special shout-out to Kathleen from Mountain View CA for a lovely note and to Samantha for posting her fun game on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. We love it with a chainsaw. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Satellite Sisters Talk TV with their weekly recap of Madam Secretary. This week, Season 3 Episode 12 called The Detour. But it could have have been called The Amazing Race.  3 teams!  One Team goes to Africa on a dilapidated plane with one engine and the Chinese in pursuit One Team goes to the Department of Defense and tries to pull rank One Team goes to Crazytown with a Doomsday Cult Race between The US and China to partner with various Africa nations on windfarms. With the US doing it to promote sustainability and education and China in the race to exploit oil leases.  MSEC, Blake, Daisy and Undersecretary take off in old with a doubting press corp.  Nice moment at Girls STEM camp. MSEC waxes rhapsodic about Math. But China on their heels. Bess wins the gamesmanship but loses the PR Battle. Special shout-out to the moving scene at the slave fort between Daisy and the undersecretary—a history lesson and more on MK weekend. Very nice moment Race to the DOD for parts I mentioned this because we get a chance to Nadine and Matt try to convince a pentagon colonel that somehow the speechwriter outranks the military man. But Nadine gets her parts.  Race to Crazytown When the FBI says, I’ll be there in 5 minutes, do you have to let them in? Henry is back on the trail of a doomsday cult he once hunted down. One of the cult members  is selling bombs to isis. Pretend to be a radicalized Islamic terrorist—but Henry gives him the “are you islamic test” and he fails miserable. Theory—cult guy setting up end of the world standoff between the west and isis. Everybody in the truck!! Binders full of blouses: Nadines plum colored masterpiece Madam Secretarys black suit and floral blouse—clean and fresh Daisy’s endless supply of pretty dresses  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
