If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/10/15

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

thegoodwife510smallTonight is the season (and possibly series) finale of The Good Wife. Last week, Alicia was revisited by one of her first clients. A man she and Carey proved to be not guilty of attempted murder 6 years earlier was now being retried for first degree murder now that the victim had died. As Alicia sifted through old evidence and case recordings, we got a lot of new and old flashbacks of Kalinda, Alicia, and Cary working on the original case.

Meanwhile, Alicia debated what to do with her life next, ultimately deciding that she would start her own firm and only work on important cases that mattered to her. She got Grace’s help to turn Zack’s bedroom into an office. (Isn’t he going to need that when he comes back home?!) And then in a you-can-cut-the-sexual-tension-with-a-knife scene, she asked Finn Polmar to join her in her new venture. (Are they both going to work in that bedroom office?!)

Will Finn and Alicia finally explore their feelings for one another? Will Finn join Alicia’s new firm, and will they get anyone else to join them? I really hope we see more of the delightful Alicia fangirl, newbie attorney Amber! I’m interested to see how Alicia will cross paths with her former partners as the show moves forward. Will we get closure in case the show doesn’t return, or will things be left unresolved?

On tonight’s episode, “Wanna Partner?,” Alicia gets a suspicious call from a client and discovers that he’s being held in a secret police facility, where people are detained without officially being booked.

Find out if we get answers to some of my questions tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Once Upon a Time, American Odyssey, The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Bob’s Burgers, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, Veep, Nurse Jackie, and Penny Dreadful.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 5/8/15

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

hawaiifiveo58asmallLast week’s Hawaii Five-0 focused primarily on Kono and her past, her family, and her journey of what was supposed to be around the island but ended up being out into the ocean and back to land after she was caught in the middle of a bad storm, with only an outrigger, her surfboard, and a (waterlogged) satellite phone. Luckily she had a little bit of fresh water and an orange with her as well. She was able to use the phone after drying it out in a bad of rice, just long enough to let Chin know she was in trouble, and she used the orange to catch a fish, something she learned from her mother when she was young. We saw lots of flashbacks to when her mother taught her to surf, and before she left for her trip, we finally met her mother and learned she’d had an aneurysm shortly after Kono became a cop. She can’t speak, can barely move, but she’s in there. She knew enough to say a silent good-bye to Kono before she left and she waved with everyone else once Kono pushed off. In the end, even though the guys used helicopters to try to find her once the storm let up, Kono was able to paddle her way back to land, severely dehydrated, sunburned, and barely alive.

The case was good but honestly a little forgettable, given the main story of Kono’s journey. A man who’d been out of prison for a week was arrested for cooking meth, but he convinced them he’d had to do it or the man who’d ordered him to was going to kill his son, a young man in his early twenties. In the end, Steve and Chin learned that his son was behind it all to begin with, angry with his father for cooking meth and getting sent to prison in the first place, making his son go into foster care when he was a young teenager.

hawaiifiveo58bsmallTonight is the double-episode season finale. We see some familiar faces, and there should be an exciting couple of story lines, much like the finales this show always delivers. Kono and Adam are supposed to be getting married, but given the pictures we’ve seen of Adam recently, I’m hoping there’s a good explanation and the wedding goes on because I love them together.

On tonight’s first episode, “Luapo’I (Prey),” while Five-0 works the case of a murdered bounty hunter who apprehended a dangerous killer, Danny’s ex-wife reveals a shocking secret to him that will change his life forever. Then on the season finale, “A Make Kaua (Until We Die),” on the eve of Kono’s wedding to Adam, Five-0 learns that a stolen nuclear bomb is somewhere on the island and about to be detonated. Also, McGarrett is stunned when Catharine returns to Hawaii, while Chin confronts Adam about his lingering connections to the Yakuza.

Learn Rachel’s secret and see if Kono and Adam tie the knot tonight on CBS at 9/8c & 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Grimm & Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
