izombiesmallAnyone who knows me knows I’m a huge Veronica Mars fan, so when I learned that Rob Thomas had created a new show called iZombie, I was in, regardless of the subject matter. Thankfully, the story itself seems like it’ll be a lot of fun. Rose McIver stars as Olivia “Liv” Moore (*snicker* Live more?), a medical resident who was suddenly turned into a zombie. She transfers to the city morgue for the easy access to brains, breaks things off with her soul mate (played by the sexy Robert Buckley from One Tree Hill), and tries to “live” her life as best she can. Then she figures out that with every brain she eats, she gets “visions,” which turn out to be the corpse’s memories, so with the encouragement of her boss, she works with a newbie homicide detective, using those “visions” to help solve the murders of those people whose brains she consumed.

Sounds fun, right? I hope so… I’m not a huge fan of shows on The CW. The only ones I watch every episode of are Whose Line Is It Anyway and Penn & Teller: Fool Us—I haven’t watched a non-reality show on The CW since One Tree Hill. So I’m *hoping* I like this one enough to stick with it. If anyone can make me do that, it’s Rob Thomas. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Robert Buckley and David Anders (who will always be Julian Stark from Alias to me) are on the show as well. Hellooooo, eye candy! 😉 I really love them both in everything I’ve seen them in, so…) Also starring are Aly Michalka, Malcolm Goodwin, Molly Hagan, & Rahul Kohli.

Kyle did a press room interview for the show, which you can view on his site, NoReruns.net.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” an overachieving medical resident who recently became a zombie transfers her residency to the city morgue, where she feeds on brains, but every time she does, she experiences some of the corpse’s memories, sometimes providing clues to how they died.

Meet a new kind of zombies tonight on The CW at 9/8c.

ncisla39smallIt’s been a couple of weeks since the last NCIS: LA, and it was kind of a sad one. Thapa — the Nepali soldier they’d worked with before who’d given Deeks advice that led to him back away from Kensi slightly — returned, intent on grabbing a woman contracted by the CIA, but when someone shot at them as they were facing off — nearly killing Sam — Thapa said it wasn’t his man, so suddenly they had to work together to figure out who wanted the woman dead…and if not her, then find who it was they’d been aiming for. The team figured out the woman the CIA was bringing into the US was spying for her country, rather than coming to the US for safety and to give them all the info they needed on the nukes her country had. There was a great ninja fight at the hospital, and in the end, Thapa was killed as he saved Sam. It turned out the gunman from the beginning of the episode had been aiming for him. I felt horrible for Deeks especially, because he honestly considered the man a friend (or as close to a friend as their positions would allow). On a good note, Thapa had given Deeks advice again about Kensi, and because of that, Kensi & Deeks ended the episode a little bit calmer than they’d started. (Although they started together in bed, and that’s never a bad thing! LOL) But things were touch-and-go with Sam for a while. Thankfully he was going to be okay.

On tonight’s episode, “Savoir Faire,” while the team investigates the death of one of three Afghanistan soldiers who are training in the U.S., they discover two other soldiers are missing and must find them before they’re forced to reveal classified military operations to their captors. Also, Sam is back to work but his team worries it may be too soon, and Callen realizes he has very little in common with his partner.

See more funny banter between Sam and Callen tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, Scorpion, & Food Fortunes.

allegiance226smallAllegiance has been getting really good. Last week’s episode gave us a bit of a “Da Vinci Code”-like story line. The Russians had replaced Alex’s shirt button with a bug and overheard the Fed’s plan to break into the vault hidden in Philadelphia City Hall, which contained Mikhail’s laptop with valuable intel. The CIA’s plan was to replace the laptop with less sensitive material and allow the Russians to believe they got the information they were looking for. However, Victor sent the O’Connors to grab the computer first. Their mission got very tense, as they were under extreme time pressure, but the O’Connors were able to break into the vault and get the laptop. However, they then found themselves trapped in the ceiling of City Hall as Alex ordered a search of the premises.

I hope every episode moving forward is as tense and action-packed as last week’s! All of this spy drama and action is exactly why I love shows like this! Will Alex find his parents and see that they took the laptop? Will he discover that he is being watching and bugged, and how would he react? Would he go on the offensive, or would he use the situation as a tactical advantage? I’m excited to see more of this story and hope the ratings pick up so we can see it come to a proper conclusion!

On tonight’s episode, “Chasing Ghosts,” a surprising discovery leaves Alex reeling as he tries to adjust his theories in light of what he found at Philadelphia City Hall. Meanwhile, the Rezident questions Katya and Mark’s dedication; and Natalie discovers the dangers of Black Dagger.

Find out what Alex learns tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Big Bang Theory, The Odd Couple, Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, The Slap, The Blacklist, Archer, and Wizard Wars.

chicagopd225smallLast week’s Chicago PD was centered around Burgess—again—and was pretty rough on her. Before work, at the diner ordering breakfast, a strange guy called her out on her usual order. While on patrol, she admitted that she wasn’t sure she should’ve turned down the Intelligence gig. All of that combined to make her more restless and reCKless, as she followed her instincts about a guy (which were right, but still…) and charged into a dangerous situation without proper intelligence (knowledge, not the team) and backup. That ended up getting Roman beaten nearly to death and got dang close to them both being killed. It did up with the death of several other men. I did love seeing Adam worrying about being unable to reach her and then getting Voight to bring Intelligence in to find them based on his gut feeling alone. Bringing the story full circle, she surprised the waitress AND the strange guy at the diner the next time with something completely different than her normal order.

I feel like we’re getting more and more story lines involving her alone or her and Roman, which is okay, but…I think the others have been pushed off to the side, and I don’t like that. Maybe they can find a happy medium?

On tonight’s episode, “What Puts You On That Ledge,” Commander Fischer (guest star Kevin J. O’Connor) updates Voight on a missing officer that Narcotics had deep undercover with a robbery crew. Antonio connected with one of the crew members years ago, so he’s asked to reestablish contact to help them find the officer. Meanwhile, Roman and Burgess are dealing with a squatter situation and they enlist Chicago Fire’s Mouch (guest star Christian Stolte) to help.

See if Antonio can reestablish contact tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, The Mysteries of Laura, The Goldbergs, Law & Order: SVU, Modern Family, The Amazing Race, Mystery Diners, black-ish, Best New Restaurant, Wahlburgers, & Donnie Loves Jenny.

ncis224smallLast week’s NCIS was focused on Sergei Mishnev after he was behind the explosion that killed one Marine at a summit for global terror event. But when Emily Fornell came to Gibbs, asking for his help with her father, Gibbs opted to sit out the case—sort of. He got Fornell out of jail when he was locked up after being caught on a DUI, and then he took him out to a remote cabin and basically performed an intervention. Vance and the team found out that Mishnev had it out for Gibbs so bad because he’d killed Ari, Ziva’s half-brother, who was also Mishnev’s half-brother, sharing a mother rather than a father like Ari and Ziva did. In the end, Gibbs set it up so Mishnev knew he was there, and with Russian Counselor Anton Pavlenko’s help, Mishnev went there on the assumption that the Russian government had sanctioned Gibbs’s murder. Gibbs was able to sneak up behind him and knock him unconscious, and when Mishnev came to, he was back on the road much like the one where Gibbs thought he’d killed him (It wasn’t clear to me… WAS it the same road? No matter…), and out of the glare of the headlights stepped Fornell, who shot him dead. This time, Gibbs took the time to make sure he was dead. (Thank goodness!)

I’m glad the Mishnev story line is done, and I hope now Fornell can find some peace, not only for himself but also for his daughter. I also really enjoyed seeing Pavlenko actually be a solid help for Gibbs, not an “is he or isn’t he a good guy” routine.

On tonight’s episode, “Blast From the Past,” a covert identity created for one of Gibbs’ undercover cases 20 years ago resurfaces after a murder victim is found living under the alias. Alan Dale guest stars.

See Gibbs go undercover in a very un-Gibbs-like role tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing MasterChef: Junior, 19 Kids & Counting, Hotel Showdown, Married at First Sight: The First Year, NCIS: NOLA, Rizzoli & Isles, Chopped, Forever, Our Little Family, Person of Interest, Restaurant Startup, & Cougar Town.
