If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/20/17

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Kyle’s Choice

Tonight, Bates Motel returns for the start of its fifth and final season on A&E. As the fourth season came to a close, Norman had gone full-on Psycho, blocking up the furnace vents in order to try to kill himself and his mother via carbon monoxide. Romero happened to stop by the house shortly afterwards and tried to save them, but it was too late for Norma. Norman had left a suicide note from Norma, but Romero figured out what must have really happened. He had a gun ready and was planning to kill Norman but was arrested for perjury, which delayed those plans. After the funeral, Norman dug up his mother’s body and brought it back home, but he still seemed confused and hadn’t really accepted that Norma is actually dead.

As we head into the final 10 episodes of the series, I’m curious to see what stories the writers have left to tell. We’re almost to the point in Norman’s journey that took place in the original Psycho film. Are we building to that moment? Will they re-create the events of the film in the series? Will Dylan learn about his mother’s death, and if so, how will he react and will he return home? Will Romero get his revenge on Norman, or will he ultimately become one of his latest victims? I’m looking forward to seeing how this creepy final chapter plays out.

On tonight’s premiere, “Dark Paradise,” a troubling discovery surfaces and Dylan and Emma get a surprise guest.

Check out the beginning of the end tonight on A&E at 10/9c.

And in case you need a refresher going into the final season, A&E will be airing a 30-minute “Quickie Catchup” before tonight’s premiere, at 9:30/8:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Quantico, Man With a Plan, Superior Donuts, Timeless, APB, Jane the Virgin, Humans, and Beyond.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 2/19/17

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Jenny’s Choice

SO MUCH happened on the previous episode of NCIS: LA. Way too much to talk about here. So check out my stream-of-consciousness thoughts that are in no particular order: 1) Hetty is the one who set up the team members to be arrested, in order to keep them locked up and safe from the true bad guys (and in Sam’s case, at least, he wasn’t REALLY locked up, as the agent in charge did it as a favor to Hetty). 2) It turned out to be a good thing, since Kensi, who wasn’t arrested and DIDN’T follow Hetty’s instructions to stay there at Ops and be safe, was kidnapped by the bad guys! 3) The CIA is indeed behind the whole mole thing – Sabatino and Sharov, the CIA operative the team rescued from the Russian prison, included. 4) Sullivan (Kensi’s Marine friend from rehab) is actually CIA, and he has a personal grudge against the team and Kensi in particular, as she accidentally shot his leg off in Afghanistan when she thought he was Taliban. 5) Ferris is the one who kidnapped Kensi, and he’s looking for payback. An eye for an eye…or more specifically, a leg for a leg! 6) Hetty blew up the building she was in, which killed Sharov and nearly killed Carl Brown and Sabatino, but Carl Brown got a shot off and hit LAPD Detective Whiting, the woman gunning for Deeks who was actually helping the team look for Hetty and Kensi at the end of the episode. Brown was then promptly killed as the team returned fire. (Good riddance!)

So a lot of questions going into tonight’s episode! 1) Obviously they won’t cut off Kensi’s leg, right? 2) Did Sabatino survive? He was alive when they checked him at the blast site, but… 3) What about Granger? The last we heard, he was alive after being stabbed in prison. Miguel Ferrer passed away exactly a month ago, on January 29, so if they originally had Granger surviving the stabbing, did they have to refilm some of this episode so the character doesn’t survive, or does he survive, only to be written out some other way? Either way, it’s a sad thing! 4) Given the episode description for tonight and the fact that Elizabeth Bogush is guest starring as Joelle Taylor, does that mean Callen’s ex-girlfriend is actually a bad guy?! Gah!

On tonight’s episode, “Payback,” emotions run high for the team as one agent is held in an unknown location and tortured by the mole, while another discovers he was betrayed by someone he least expected.

See how the team finds Kensi and who betrayed whom tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Guy’s Grocery Games, The Paley Center Salutes NBC’s 90th Birthday, Worst Cooks in America, Cake Wars, & To Tell the Truth.
