theflash324smallLast week’s episode of The Flash was amazing—and so eventful! Mark Mardon, the brother of the pilot episode’s Weather Wizard Clyde, returned to Central City, looking to get revenge on those responsible for his brother’s death. Meanwhile, Barry and Linda inadvertently went on an awkward double-date with Eddie and Iris—and there was a lot of flirting between Barry and Iris, which wasn’t lost on Eddie or Linda. Back at the lab, Cisco confronted Doctor Wells about his connection to the Reverse Flash, and in true supervillain fashion, he told Cisco EVERYTHING—that his real name is Eobard Thawne, that he is the Reverse Flash, and that he is from the future and had traveled back in time to try to kill Barry but accidentally murdered Barry’s mother instead. After his long speech, Wells killed Cisco. Elsewhere, Barry was running extremely fast to try to stop the tsunami created by Mark and inadvertently broke the space-time continuum and ended up in the past, reliving that same day.

When Cisco was killed in last week’s episode, I was surprised but only worried for a few seconds. At the beginning of the episode, when there was a scene with someone comically spilling a drink all over themselves, I suspected we might be getting a Groundhog Day-style episode, and that was a cue for us and Barry to remember. However, Barry doesn’t know the truth about Wells or what he’s about to do to Cisco—so will he change enough things in his do-over of the day to cause those events to never happen? Or is Cisco just predestined to confront Wells and die? Now that Barry has discovered that he can travel through time, what will he do with that power? And if Wells’s plan was to kill Barry, why is he keeping him around—what is his ultimate goal?

On tonight’s episode, “Rogue Time,” the Flash learns that Captain Cold and Heat Wave have returned to Central City, and that Snart has brought along his sister Lisa to help wreak havoc on the town.

Find out what happens in Central City tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Fresh Off the Boat, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Forever, Undateable, One Big Happy, The Mindy Project, iZombie, Justified, Cougar Town, and Face Off.

Jenny’s Choice #1

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.

csicyber311smallI loved last week’s premiere of CSI: Cyber, although I told my husband I think it’s more like Criminal Minds than CSI. But whatever the name, I enjoyed it. James Van Der Beek’s Agent Mundo is probably my favorite character so far (because of his interaction with the young kid next door to the kidnapped baby and how he didn’t even hesitate to jump into the pond to rescue the baby from the car, when all the cops just stood around with their thumbs up their butts, it seemed), but I do love Agent Avery Ryan, played by Patricia Arquette. She’s fantastic, and obviously there’s some back story that will be interesting to dive into. One other thing I found interesting was the fact that Agent Ryan brought in the former black-hat hacker after he was caught by Agent Krumitz and arrested/found guilty. I love the idea of rehabilitation that way if possible.

On tonight’s episode (which is probably my favorite of the four episodes I’ve seen so far), “CMND:\Crash,” Agent Avery Ryan and her cyber team investigate a roller coaster crash caused by someone who found a way to hack into the ride’s internal computer. Jason George, Joe Reegan, & Christopher Douglas Reed guest star.

See if Agent Ryan & her team can solve the case tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing Melissa & Joey, Criminal Minds, Mystery Diners, black-ish, Best New Restaurant, & Donnie Loves Jenny.

janethevirgin29smallLast week on Jane the Virgin, Jane got a job writing for The Passions of Santos but quickly discovered her first assignment was to write her father’s death scene. Rogelio’s assistant had manipulated events in order to make Rogelio look bad so he could become the new star of the show. Meanwhile, Petra faked her own murder in order to trick her mother into revealing that she could walk. And Rose was revealed (to us) as Sin Rostro as she murdered Emilio, burying him alive in fresh cement.

Will Michael and the others also discover Rose’s secret? What will Rafael do when he discovers his father is dead? Has Petra buried the hatchet with Milos now that she knows her mother was actually the target of his acid? What will Rogelio do now—Santos must have an evil twin or identical cousin they could write into the show, right?! Or is he headed to Hollywood to try to make it on the big screen? I hope Rogelio sticks around because he is my favorite character!

On tonight’s episode, “Chapter Thirteen,” Jane learns the baby’s sex, but a medical issue arises and may interfere with Jane’s graduation. Meanwhile, Alba refuses to tell Xo about something she finds too embarrassing to discuss; and Michael believes he’s uncovered Sin Rostro’s real identity.

To see if a medical issue does indeed interfere with Jane’s graduation, tune in to The CW at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Castle, Gotham, Sleepy Hollow, Jane the Virgin, Chasing Life, and Better Call Saul.

kotn2015smallTonight is the third season premiere of King of the Nerds, which makes me so happy. So many “reality” shows feature beautiful, hip, popular people, but it’s about time that the smart, nerdy, dorky, sometimes cute but often weird people get a chance to shine. Both of the previous seasons, there’s been people I really liked and people I really didn’t, but I’ve been very happy (season 1) and okay (season 2) with who won, so I’m hoping this season will be no exception. Plus, it’s hosted by uber-nerds Curtis Armtstrong & Robert Carradine, so what could be better or funnier?

On tonight’s episode, “Judgment Day,” in the season three premiere, 12 new nerds arrive at Nerdvana to compete for $100,000. The Nerds must create Rube Goldberg-type devices and go deep into the worlds of steampunk and anime. When the first two Nerds face elimination, only Nerdzilla can save them.

Meet the new Nerds tonight on TBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing 12 Monkeys, Grimm, & Diners, Drive-ins & Dives.
