Megan’s Choice

lucifer28smallI was quite skeptical when I first heard about the new show Lucifer, but after watching the first two episodes, I can say that I am pleasantly surprised. There are many reasons why this show works for me, including the incredible sexy leading man and the fact that it’s a procedural with a twist, but at the end of the day it’s simply an entertaining new show to spice up my regular television landscape.

On the last episode, Lucifer showed that while he has no issue with people sinning, he takes great offense to people using God’s word and hell to scare people into donating money, which is why he scared the crap out of a guy doing just that on the street. I admit I giggled, because there’s nothing worse than a hypocrite. Chloe has been working on trying to figure out who Lucifer really is and why he didn’t exist up until 5 years ago – the idea that he really is THE Lucifer is just too far-fetched for her, I suppose. The case of the week involved a paparazzo who was accused of murder and confessed, but Chloe didn’t believe he did it, and neither did Lucifer. This sent them on a wild-goose chase to find the actual killer, which they did in the end. Although Chloe had to step in to stop Lucifer’s little game of Russian roulette between Nick and his protégé, Josh, who Nick was taking the fall for, where they try to shoot each other, only there were no bullets in Josh’s gun. In the midst of it, Chloe showed up, and Lucifer realized he was wrong and used brother Amenadiel because he knew that his arrival would slow time down just enough for Lucifer to step in and grab the bullet from Nick’s gun midair. Lucifer then realizes that he is in fact changing, and it’s due to someone in his life: Chloe.

I’m really enjoying the building relationship between Lucifer and Chloe, but I’m curious to see how long they can play this Chloe not believing he’s the devil story, because after a while, she’s going to have to figure it out.

On tonight’s episode, “The Would-Be Prince of Darkness,” when a 22-year-old future superstar quarterback wakes up to find a dead girl floating in his swimming pool, he turns to his friend, Lucifer, for help. Lucifer enlists Chloe to investigate the case, which leads to the world of big-money sports and people who will literally kill to be number one.

To see if Chloe can help clear this quarterback’s name, tune in to FOX at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching Scorpion, Supergirl, Superstore, NCIS: LA, and Castle.

scorpion1123smallMy pick tonight is the exciting new episode of Scorpion. Last week was crazy. The team was tasked to help break into the UN, but what they came to find out was they’d been tricked by the MI6 lady and were supposed to help her agent kill an ambassador…who in his free time is an arms dealer who supplies weapons to child soldiers. But of course Scorpion figured out that the MI6 lady was actually in bed with (so to speak) the ambassador, so they made it look like they were following her orders, when in reality, they and the MI6 agent worked to take down the ambassador AND the MI6 lady legally. It was pretty fun, case-wise. On the personal front, Megan was taken off the ventilator and begged Sylvester for no more. He promised he’d figure out a way, even though Walter had gotten a court order declaring him her legal medical proxy, claiming she wasn’t of sound mind to make the decision herself. Sly’s way of doing that? Marrying her. Ray – who is a crackup! – is a legally ordained minister via some online church, and he married them (off-screen), so when they told Walter and showed him their “Band-Aid rings,” he had no choice but to accept it. He finally agreed no more if it caused her pain and promised he would continue working to save her. They were a couple of really emotional moments between Sly and Megan and also with Walter, Sly, and an asleep Megan.

Tonight is even more exciting and emotional than last week. I’ve seen the screener, and it’s another fun episode case-wise, and it certainly bumps up the emotion. It’s really well done on the part of every member of the team.

On tonight’s episode, “Arrivals and Departures,” when Team Scorpion and Walter’s parents visit Megan in the hospital as her health deteriorates, they are quarantined after a deadly fungus outbreak threatens to infect everyone. Camille Guaty, Pamela Shafer, & Glenn Keogh guest star as Megan, Louise, & Sean O’Brien.

See if the team can stop the fungus outbreak and help Megan tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Supergirl, Cake Wars, Major Crimes, NCIS: LA, Blindspot, Guilty Pleasures, Castle, & Top 5 Restaurants.

scorpion1116smallWalter has had some difficult challenges on Scorpion, but usually his intelligence helps get him out of trouble. Unfortunately, what his brain can’t do is get him out of an emotional situation. Walter’s sister is dying of MS, and she’s taken a turn for the worst. Sylvester, who is Megan’s boyfriend and in love with her, didn’t tell Walter right away when she got pneumonia because she told him not to, and Walter didn’t take kindly to this. Sylvester pointed out that at the end of the day, it’s all Megan’s choice. Walter believes he can rescue all her brain and personality traits onto a computer so that he can one day upload them into a new body and he’ll have his sister back…which means he wants her kept alive at all costs. Megan isn’t on the same page because she is tired of suffering and doesn’t want to keep being put on machines. Sylvester told Walter that it was Megan’s choice, not his, and Walter didn’t take that well.

The whole episode showed Walter taking unnecessary risks to make enough money to fund the project to save Megan, and the team was almost killed because of it. Someone needs to get Walter under control before his fear of losing his sister ruins the lives of his team as well as himself. I do understand, but you can’t hold on to every loved one forever. Sometimes you need to let go, and no matter how hard it is, everyone should get the choice to decide what happens to them.

On tonight’s episode, “US vs. UN vs. UK,” Team Scorpion is blackmailed to break into the United Nations to assist in the assassination of a menacing arms dealer. Also, Sylvester makes a bold move to protect Megan’s wishes.

To see what move Sylvester makes, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching The Voice, Blindspot, Minority Report, and Gotham.

Jenny’s Choice #1

scorpion420smallMy first pick tonight is the season finale of Scorpion. This show’s been such a great surprise for me. I mean, I’d hoped it would be good when I first heard the blurb, but I’ve enjoyed it even more than I’d hoped I would. But last week was killer, when Walter found out that Cabe knew three days before the bombs were dropped what Walter’s software was actually being used for. Walter was so angry that Cabe hadn’t told him. (Cabe’s logic was that Walter would change the software, rendering the bombs useless. When Walter said that’s what he’d have done, Cabe said Walter would’ve gone to prison and he himself would’ve been arrested for treason. It makes sense…) But still, Walter was so angry that he told the director that he wouldn’t work with Cabe anymore, so Cabe was off the team. Then when Paige realized Ralph was behaving so like Walter that he would sneak off from school, make his way to the research site where they were, and then put himself in grave danger to help the team, she told Walter she quit and would be moving to Maine with Drew — and that she didn’t want Ralph to grow up to be like Walter. I could hear shipper hearts breaking everywhere! Walter went a little crazy. He threw out the attitude that he didn’t need Cabe or Paige, and then he took off in the fancy sports car the rich, former Scorpion client gave him…and promptly crashed through a guardrail and went over the edge of a cliff, leaving us with a lot of fears and worries coming into tonight’s finale.

Obviously Walter can’t die, Paige can’t move away, and Cabe can’t be gone for good. The show’s already been renewed for a second season, thank goodness. So the questions remains: How will they recue Walter? Will Walter reconcile with Paige and Cabe after a near-death experience? Will Happy finally forgive Toby and put the poor man out of his misery by throwing him a bone and giving him a kiss? I can’t wait to find out tonight!

On tonight’s episode, “Postcards from the Edge,” Scorpion, torn apart and uncertain about their future as a team, must come together for their most important mission yet: to save Walter’s life as his car teeters on the side of a cliff.

See how the team saves Walter tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

Jenny’s Choice #1

eyecandy112smallI don’t ever watch shows on MTV—they just aren’t my types of shows. But when I was writing up the weekly schedule on Saturday, the premise for their newest, Eye Candy, made me sit up and take notice. Based on the best-selling book of the same name by R.L. Stine (who also wrote the “Goosebumps” books), this show is about Lindy, a 21-year-old hacker/tech genius who is able to see clues and connections in the digital world that others can’t. Her roommate persuades her to try online dating, and when she meets one man, she starts to suspect that he’s a deadly cyber stalker. She ends up teaming up with the cyber-crimes unit and some hacker friends to help solve a potential serial killer in Manhattan.

When I first read about it, all I suddenly wanted was Jake 2.0 back. Why that reminded me of that show, I don’t know. LOL Still, Eye Candy (which totally sounds misleading for what the show is about…) looks like it’ll be a great show, so I have my fingers crossed going into tonight’s premiere. The show stars Victoria Justice, Casey Deidrick, Harvey Guillen, John Garet Stoker, & Kiersey Clemons.

On tonight’s episode, “K3U,” in New York to find her abducted sister, a brilliant but shy hacker is urged to try a dating app, where she meets a deadly stalker, only she isn’t sure which date it is, so she reluctantly turns to her ex-boyfriend, who broke her heart, for help.

To see how the series starts, tune in to MTV at 10/9c.
