scorpion1114smallLast week’s Scorpion was pretty fun. It was election day, and the FBI showed up and asked for Scorpion’s help…but Walter was forced to stay back (and keep an eye on Ralph) because his immigration status was under suspicion. Needless to say, he didn’t like that one bit. The rest of the team figured out that someone had hacked into and was screwing with the votes. In the end, Walt and Ralph escaped their FBI babysitter and helped the team figure out it was people from the Chinese embassy. With the US election in chaos and no president-elect called because of it, it would benefit the Chinese. Toby was great in this one, from his one-liners to how he took over the TV interview and helped talk down the Chinese.

On a personal note, things were all over the map for them all. It seems like Paige and Tim are getting closer (*gag*), so much so that he’s now introduced both her and Ralph to his parents. Ralph told Paige that her happiness is most important, so it’s fine with him if Tim becomes his stepfather, even though he wants Walter to be it instead. But with the rest of the team throwing relationship stats at her about meeting the parents being a precursor to an engagement, Paige seemed like she was freaking out a little. (Thank goodness. Maybe that relationship will be over soon!) And on a very sad note, Happy had to tell Toby that she wasn’t pregnant after all, that her blood test had been a false positive. She broke down, nearly destroying the awesome mechanical crib she’d built, telling him she was looking forward to waiting for her child after school, unlike when she grew up in the orphanage and had no one waiting for her. Toby promised her that they would have that family. She tried to tell Toby she wanted some alone time, but when he went to walk away, he shocked her by turning and getting down on one knee. Since the President of the United States had been so thankful that he’d gotten Walter’s citizenship approved, Happy was free and clear to say yes to the proposal, knowing she and Walt could get a divorce. So among the sadness was a happiness and relief for them both.

On tonight’s episode, “Sly and the Family Stone,” when Team Scorpion travels to Ireland for Megan’s one-year memorial, Walter discovers that a nearby lake’s natural disaster has created a poisonous cloud that could kill everyone in the village. Also, Cabe and Toby try to alleviate the tension between Tim and Walter.

See how Team Scorpion saves the village tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Chopped, Kevin Can Wait, Man With a Plan, 2 Broke Girls, Cake Wars, & Conviction.

timeless1031smallI’ve been really enjoying NBC’s fun time-travel series, Timeless. Last week the gang headed to Nazi Germany, where they had to stop Flynn from giving Wernher von Braun, the Father of Rocket Science, to the Soviets. Along the way the team ran into James Bond author Ian Fleming, who took a liking to Lucy. And when the group returned, they were excited to discover that there was a brand “new” Sean Connery Bond film based on their adventure! Meanwhile Flynn was able to use a nuke to create a long-lasting battery for his ship, which may make it more difficult for the team to keep up with him and track his location.

What I really enjoy about this show is its blend of action, mystery, history, and fun. Each week we get some tiny clues as to the larger mission Flynn is on and how Lucy is a part of that. I don’t know how they are ever going to fix history, as Flynn keeps causing small things to change here and there – though most of them seem to affect Lucy the most.

On tonight’s episode, “The Alamo,” the team gets stranded at the Battle of the Alamo, a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. They learn about trust and sacrifice as they face insurmountable odds and no hope of rescue.

See what gets turned around in history tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Man With a Plan, Gotham, Lucifer, Supergirl, Jane the Virgin, and People of Earth.

conviction103smallTonight is another new drama that I’m excited to see: ABC’s Conviction. Hayley Atwell (Marvel’s Agent Carter) plays lawyer and former First Daughter Hayes Morrison, is caught using drugs and is offered a job from her sexy nemesis, NY District Attorney Conner Wallace (played by CSI: New York alum, Eddie Cahill). If she works with his team at the new Conviction Integrity Unit, which reexamines cases where there is a credible suspicion of wrongful conviction, she’ll avoid jail time and will avoid hurting her mother’s Senate campaign. She’s a party girl with a privileged upbringing who is offered a chance to turn her life around.

I was really excited about this show when I saw the trailer. I haven’t seen the pilot, so I have no idea if it’ll be any good or not, but I love the premise, and I love the cast. I didn’t watch Agent Carter, but Hayley Atwell is adorable and I’ve heard she was great in that. Eddie Cahill was one of my favs on CSI: New York, and the others are good too: Daniel Franzese (Looking & Recovery Road), Emily Kinney (The Walking Dead), Manny Montana (whom I recognize from Graceland), not to mention Merrin Dungey (Alias, Once Upon a Time) and Shawn Ashmore (The Following).

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” after joining the Conviction Integrity Unit, Hayes pushes the team to consider the case of Odell Dwyer, a handsome former high school football player who has been in prison for eight years for murdering his girlfriend.

Follow the leads tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

thegoodplace919smallThe fall season is now in full swing, and tonight NBC kicks off its new comedy The Good Place with a 1-hour premiere on a special night/time. Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, House of Lies, Veronica Mars) is a recently deceased young woman who discovers she was accidentally sent to “the good place,” when she likely should have been sent to “the bad place.” Eleanor wasn’t the nicest, most giving person during her life on earth, and quickly realizes the man in charge, Michael (Ted Danson, CSI: Cyber, Cheers), has incorrectly attributed someone else’s long list of good deeds to her. At first she decides to just run with it. However, when this mistake starts to threaten the tranquility of “the good place,” Eleanor seeks the assistance of her afterlife-assigned “soul mate” Chidi (William Jackson Harper, The Electric Company), a former ethics professor, to help her become a better person. The series comes from the hilarious Michael Schur (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation, Master of None) and also stars Jameela Jamil (Playing It Straight), Manny Jacinto (The Romeo Section), and D’Arcy Carden (Broad City).

I really enjoyed tonight’s one-hour premiere, which had me laughing out loud several times. The series offers a fresh take on the concepts of heaven and hell and sets up an interesting and delightful world with some fun characters and relationships. The pilot also establishes a larger mystery of how Eleanor ended up there, what if she gets found out, and what kind of effect her not-so-perfect personality will have in this perfect afterlife. I’m looking forward to seeing how the series plays out week-to-week once it moves to its normal time of 8:30/7:30c on Thursdays later this week.

On tonight’s premiere, “Pilot; Flying,” Eleanor Shellstrop enters the afterlife and begins her process of becoming a better person in the series premiere, which is the first half of a combined episode. Later, Eleanor tries to prove that she’s worthy of Chidi’s help, and a flaw emerges in Michael’s Neighborhood.

Don’t miss out on meeting Eleanor and Michael tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Match Game, The Big Bang Theory, Kevin Can Wait, Gotham, Lucifer, Food Network Star Kids, and Major Crimes.

scorpion425smallTonight is the season finale of Scorpion, and it promises to be a good one. Thank goodness that the show has been renewed for next season already. I can smile even though I’ll miss it after tonight! Last week seemed a bit far-fetched, but it was exciting and tense and ultimately a bit disappointing. First, though, the good parts. I always love how inventive the team is. Using the old carnival merry-go-round to pull the plane out? Genius. Blowing up the building to stop the lava-type stuff from reaching the blow-upy stuff? (yes, those are the technical terms. LOL) Also genius. And I loved how crazy Walter’s plan was to get himself and Paige off the roof. And finally, Toby’s testifying against their old friend/fellow genius, Mark Collins. He was so funny. He does sarcastic so well. The bad? Once again, Walter chickened out about Paige, and frankly, that’s getting old. I know it’s only the end of season 2, so why I’m so impatient about them, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because they don’t seem to be making any progress. Every time we *think* Walter is taking a baby step forward, he ends up going backwards. So it’s really frustrating. Oh, and ultimately sweet but because of what happened at the end, Toby getting Happy’s engagement ring – which was perfect and adorable! – was great, but eek! Damn Collins for kidnapping him!

On tonight’s episode, “Toby or Not Toby,” Team Scorpion must outthink their unstable ex-Scorpion member, Mark Collins (guest star Joshua Leonard), after he kidnaps Toby and threatens to kill him unless his cunning demands are met.

Learn what demands Collins makes for Toby’s return tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Cupcake Wars, Mike & Molly, Lucifer, NCIS: LA, & Blindspot.
