If We Controlled Your Remote… 10/22/12

Posted on October 22, 2012 by and

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Yippee, it’s the start of the work week! While some people might be upset about the debates taking over our televisions tonight, I’m actually thankful for the breather. It gives me an extra two hours that I can use to catch up on my backlog from last week and not be trying to swim against the tide as more new episodes flood onto my TiVo. If your DVR is already empty, check out our suggestions on what to watch during tonight’s single hour of primetime.

Kyle’s Choice

Tonight, the second season of Alphas comes to an end. Last week, Kat and John were transporting Mitchell, when they were attacked by the firestarter, Cipio, and some other bad Alphas. While Parrish got his human hard drive back, the good guys had taken Cipio captive. Dr. Rosen first tried having Nina push Cipio in order to extract information on Parrish’s plans. When that didn’t work, he had Hicks threaten Cipio’s girlfriend. Finally, he resorted to torture, injecting Cipio with adrenaline so that he would start burning himself. Meanwhile, Gary contacted Skyler, helping her out of her drug-induced fantasy state, where Parrish had tricked her into working on blueprints for some evil doomsday device.

I really enjoyed the line last week when Skylar’s daughter asked her mom (played by Summer Glau) if she was some kind of Terminator. That’s one thing I like about this show—no matter how heavy the subject matter, they still take moments to add some levity and lighten the mood. That said, I’m looking forward to tonight’s season finale, which should be action-packed. What is Parrish’s ultimate plan, and will the good guys be able to stop him?!

In tonight’s episode, “God’s Eye,” a desperate and slightly delusional Rosen becomes determined to confront Stanton Parish over Dani’s fate, while the team races against time to keep the Alpha leader’s deadly plan from happening.

Don’t miss the season finale tonight on Syfy at 8/7c. Learn where to find episodes online of Alphas @ Clicker.

Tonight, I’ll also be watching/recording The Voice, Switched at Birth, $24 in 24, and The Inbetweeners.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 9/10/12

Posted on September 10, 2012 by , , and

It’s Sunday night as I write this up, and I feel like dried spit. (I told that to a couple of friends online, and they were confused. Have you never heard that phrase either? Maybe it’s a regional thing. LOL Basically it means I feel terrible—tired, just generally crappy, but nothing specific. *shrug* But I’m happy because there’s tons of great TV on Monday night, and we have just a few choices for our picks for what we think you should be watching. 🙂

Jenny’s Choice #1

Last week’s Warehouse 13 was one of the best of the season. So much happened… Claudia found out about the secret Steve’s been keeping. Artie saw something similar to his vision of an evil-eyed Claudia about to kill him nearly come to fruition when Brother Adrian sent Alice’s containment mirror out into the world with the instructions to find and kill the most important people in Artie’s life—specifically his girlfriend, Dr. Vanessa Calder, who he was about to ask if they could take things to the next level. This time, Alice had learned how to jump bodies, which came in very handy as she took over Claudia’s body and then Vanessa’s after making her way through civilians to get to the Warehouse gang. Artie realized how dangerous it was for Vanessa to be with him, so he broke up with her. (Reminded me of Twilight… LOL) Vanessa didn’t take that well at all and promised him that she wasn’t giving up that easily. Leena overheard Artie yelling to the phantom Brother Adrian about the astrolabe, so she is getting closer and closer to learning the truth.

It was a great episode. We don’t normally get to see the whole team working together, but I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see where they go from here now that most of the secrets are out.

On tonight’s episode, “Endless Wonder,” Pete and Myka investigate an artifact that causes people to stretch…to death! Danielle Nicolet guest stars.

Don’t miss it tonight on Syfy at 9/8c. Learn where to find episodes online of Warehouse 13 @ Clicker.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 7/23/12

Posted on July 23, 2012 by and

Happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? I actually had a pretty good one. Caught up on some much-needed sleep on Sunday, thank goodness. Kicked my husband’s butt at cards earlier in the weekend. And I was kid free because my son was visiting my mom out of town. So…yeah. Pretty good. 😉 lol Megan wanted to recommend Bunheads & Teen Wolf, but she went out of town to a wedding and didn’t get home until so late that she was too tired to write up her part. So besides those two shows, check out what Kyle & I think you should be watching.

Jenny’s Choice

I’ve been looking forward to the season premiere of Warehouse 13…well, since last season’s finale. Last season was SO shocking. First, Steve died, then H.G. died, the warehouse blew up, and Mrs. Frederic died. Gah! At the time, I thought, “How in the world are they going to come back from that?” Fortunately, I’ve already seen the premiere, and believe me, it’s well worth the wait. The tension from last season’s finale is still there, and there’s an urgency during the episode that makes you scared they won’t figure out how to bring the warehouse back (because…obviously, they HAVE to bring it back). Check back on the site later for my one-on-one call with star Eddie McClintock as well as the press call with Eddie & co-star Saul Rubinek. They talk about a lot of the stuff coming up this season and how the finale affected the premiere & the season as a whole

On tonight’s episode, “A New Hope,” in the wake of the tragic event responsible for the loss of Agent Jinks, H.G. Wells, & Mrs. Frederic as well as the destruction of the warehouse, the team attempts to repair the situation by racing to the other side of the globe in a frantic search for an obscure and dangerous artifact.

Don’t miss the exciting season premiere tonight on Syfy at 9/8c. Learn where to find episodes online of Warehouse 13 @ Clicker.

Tonight, I’ll also be watching/DVRing Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, Perception, & the 2-hour season finale of American Ninja Warrior.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 7/18/11

Posted on July 18, 2011 by , and

Are you going to Comic-Con? Megan is, and I think she’s about to crawl out of her skin with excitement. She was fantastic and wrote up her Remote posts for the week and sent them to me so I can post them for her. Kyle is going, as well, so he’s doing the same thing. Thank goodness, because without both of them, Lisa & I would be going crazy! As for tonight, there’s plenty on, so see what we think you should watch!

Jenny’s Choice #1

I love love loved last week’s new episodes & premieres on Syfy—so much so, I’m not sure which to choose for my number 1 pick. Because of that, I’m just going to do it by time and go with Eureka first. As we returned to the quirky little town of Eureka, we figured out right away that Carter & Allison are still together and in love, as are Henry & Grace. Jo & Zane still aren’t, but late in the episode, we got an idea (as did Jo…) that Fargo told Zane about the previous timeline, when he & Jo were a couple. Fargo & Zane got lost in space, and it was fun to see them trying to work together to figure out a way to stay alive and safe and to try and make it back to Earth. Meanwhile, back in Eureka, we saw the first real conflict on the job between Carter & Allison, as Carter figured out Zane & Fargo were on the rocket that went up into space and canceled the order for the missiles to blow it up before it hit the space station. At the end of the episode, Fargo was escorted to Washington to appear in front of a government committee to talk about what happened with the rocket and all of the other projects going down at Global Dynamics.

On tonight’s episode, Fargo is visited by an agent from the Department of Defense and uses her in a demonstration of a new device, which causes her to instantly vanish. Deputy Andy and Kevin help Carter baby-sit while Allison is out of town attending a seminar. Guest starring is Felicia Day (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog) as Dr. Holly Marten from the Department of Defense.
