theflash53smallOn last week’s episode of The Flash, Barry had to readjust to life without his powers and was quickly reminded of how slow things move for regular human beings. He soon found his situation even more difficult when a powerful Meta Human kidnapped Doctor Wells – thinking he was his Earth-1 persona – and threatened to kill him unless Wells reversed the effects of the particle-accelerator explosion. Cisco managed to reinforce Barry’s suit to make it strong enough to withstand a Meta Human attack, and the group managed to rescue Harrison. Wells now recognized the urgency for Barry to regain his powers and decided that recreating the particle-accelerator explosion would be the solution. Meanwhile, on Earth-2, Killer Frost convinced Caitlin to help her escape from her cell and then thanked her by trying to kill her. Zoom stopped this just in time, killing Killer Frost and threatening to do the same to Caitlin if she assisted the man in the iron mask in escaping from his own cell. Afterwards, Zoom decided it was time to conquer Earth-1 and sped off with Caitlin in his arms.

What does Zoom have planned for Barry and the gang? Will Harrison be able to get Barry his powers back, will this be enough to stop Zoom, and what kind of side effects will result from another explosion? And will we ever find out who is behind that iron mask?!

On tonight’s episode, “Rupture,” Zoom arrives back on Earth-1 intent on taking over Central City. Barry and Wells plan to stop Zoom, but it’s extremely dangerous. Unsure if he should take the risk, Barry reaches out to both fathers for advice. Meanwhile, Cisco is shocked when he senses the Earth-2 villain Rupture, who is his brother Dante’s doppelgänger; and Iris decides to open up to Barry about her feelings for him.

See how the plan goes to stop Zoom tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Fresh Off the Boat, The Real O’Neals, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, Grandfathered, The Grinder, and Containment.

containment419smallTonight, The CW kicks off the new 13-episode limited series, Containment. After a deadly epidemic breaks out in an urban part of Atlanta, the residents in the area are quarantined in order to try to contain the outbreak while the CDC looks for a cure. The series follows the lives of those both inside the quarantine zone, who are struggling to stay alive, as well as those outside, who have been separated by their loved ones. Police officer Lex Carnahan (David Gyasi, Interstellar) learns that his girlfriend Jana (Christina Marie Moses, Starship: Apocalypse) and best friend Officer Jake Riley (Chris Wood, The Vampire Diaries) are trapped inside, along with 17-year-old Teresa (Hanna Mangan Lawrence, Spartacus: War of the Damned) who is 8-months pregnant and separated from her boyfriend Xander (Demetrius Bridges); elementary school teacher Katie Frank (Kristen Gutoskie, Beaver Falls) and her entire class, including her own son; and CDC researcher Dr. Victor Cannerts (George Young, Casualty), who played a major role in the quarantine effort. The series also stars Claudia Black (The Originals, Farscape) as Dr. Sabine Lommers and Trevor St. John (One Life to Live) as Leo Greene.

Containment is a remake of a 2014 Belgian series named Cordon, and comes from executive producers Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries) and Matt Corman (Covert Affairs). Tonight’s premiere was directed by David Nutter, who also directed the pilots of many other Warner Brothers shows, including Arrow, The Flash, Supernatural, Smallville, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and more. I’m looking forward to checking out tonight’s premiere. I always enjoy a good virus outbreak story, and this one looks like it could be really good. Though, it’ll probably make me paranoid and have me constantly washing my hands all day at work tomorrow and giving coughing and sneezing coworkers nervous looks!

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” a mysterious fatal virus breaks out and leads to part of Atlanta being quarantined in the series premiere of this drama.

To see how the virus gets out, tune in to The CW at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Limitless, The Real O’Neals, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Grinder, The Flash, and The Night Manager.

gameofsilence412smallTonight is the series premiere of Game of Silence on NBC on a special premiere night. The show follows best friends who have a dark secret they thought was buried 25 years ago, but they soon discover that you can’t run from your past for long. Jackson Brooks is a successful attorney who seems to have it all. He’s engaged to his boss, Marina, and he’s on the fast track to becoming partner at his firm, but his world is turned upside down when his long-lost childhood friends unexpectedly reappear after 25 years. An incident from their past is coming back to complicate all of their lives, so now they need to work together to overcome the issues.

It’s getting mixed reviews, but I’m an optimist and willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for the first few episodes at least. There’s always time for a new drama to spice up the TV schedule.

On tonight’s episode, “Pilot,” Jackson Brooks has it all – a gorgeous fiancée, a beautiful house, and a red-hot legal career. However, when his childhood friends reappear one day seeking his help to avenge a 25-year-old wrong, his perfect life is turned upside down. With the news that their friend Boots has been murdered, they are forced to confront a terrible secret from their past.

Find out if this drama is going to be on your must-watch list tonight at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching The Voice, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

theflash329smallOn last week’s episode of The Flash, the gang was enjoying a night out on the town at a local club when a mystery speedster showed up to rob all of the patrons of their purses and wallets. Barry tried to chase down Trajectory, but she was much faster than him. The gang soon discovered that this new speedster was a woman and that she got her powers by taking Velocity 9 serum that she had reverse-engineered. Trajectory became addicted to the serum, started dangerously increasing her dosages, and ultimately ended up running so fast that she literally disintegrated. However, witnessing this gruesome event sparked something inside of Barry, and he became suspicious of Jay’s death. Cisco vibed about Zoom and confirmed these suspicions – in his vision, he saw Zoom unmask himself, and it was Jay!

How is this news going to affect Caitlin? And now that the gang has closed all the portals, how is Barry going to find a way to Earth 2 to confront Jay/Zoom? And if he does get there, how does he plan to defeat his seemingly unstoppable arch-nemesis? I’m looking forward to finding out in tonight’s second Flash adventure of the week!

On tonight’s episode, “Flash Back,” Barry becomes determined to get back to Earth-2 to stop Zoom, but he realizes he needs to increase his speed. He travels back in time and masquerades as his earlier self to get his arch-nemesis Dr. Harrison to teach him how to run faster. But while there, Barry faces familiar foe Hartley Rathaway and old friend Eddie Thawne. Andy Mientus & Rick Cosnett guest star.

Find out what happens when Barry goes back in time tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special, Fresh Off the Boat, The Real O’Neals, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., New Girl, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, iZombie, American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, and Chrisley Knows Best.

"RIZZOLI & ISLES""Hide And Seek" / Ep 613TNTPh: Doug HyunIt’s been over 5 months since we left off with Rizzoli & Isles, and it was a huge cliffhanger. They’d been chasing a bad guy who’d been leaving clues for Jane, which she thought led to her mother, but in the end, it was all a distraction to keep her from Maura, who was called to a fake crime scene…only to be kidnapped in the final seconds of the episode. I loved seeing the team rally around Jane to keep her safe. And I kind of loved Boris the bodyguard, played by Damon Dayoub (Det. Fisher from Stitchers), but I don’t think he’ll be back, at least not long-term.

The series will finish out this season and then have a shortened final season to end its run. Jane needs a man. Really, I want Chris Vance back as Casey, but I haven’t heard anything about her romantic life. So I guess I’ll have to wait and see. Tonight, there are two episodes back-to-back to welcome the show back to the TV schedule, so yay for that!

On tonight’s first episode, “Hide and Seek,” when Maura is abducted, nothing will stand in the way of Jane and the team bringing her home. Far away, Maura discovers a conspiracy that is bigger than just her kidnapping, with Jane as its ultimate target. Then on the second episode, “Murderjuana,” a security guard foils a robbery when he kills one of the robbers, despite being wounded himself. Jane and Maura work together to solve the case after the search for the robber’s accomplice raises some puzzling questions. Jane continues her quest to protect Maura and Angela. But is the price too high?

To see how Jane and the squad rescue Maura, tune in to TNT starting at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Hollywood Game Night, NCIS, Team Ninja Warrior, Grandfathered, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Chicago Med, Junk Food Flip, The Little Couple, NCIS: NOLA, Chicago Fire, Chopped, Rattled, & The Shannara Chronicles.
