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.

theflash121smallTonight, The CW kicks off what is promised to be an epic 2-part crossover between The Flash and Arrow – as well as a launch point for the upcoming DC’s Legends of Tomorrow spin-off series. In last week’s episode of The Flash, Barry found himself wounded both physically and mentally after his battle with Zoom. It was bad timing because super-intelligent gorilla Grodd had returned to Central City and was causing a ruckus once again. Grodd kidnapped Caitlin and put her to work on creating more apes like him. Wells came up with a plan to disguise himself as the Reverse Flash and pretend to be the Earth-1 Wells in order to distract Grodd, and it was up to Cisco to teach him how to act like his evil counterpart.

Things didn’t go quite exactly as planned – they did manage to rescue Caitlin, but Grodd was still on the loose in the city. However, a visit from father Henry is just what Barry needed to regain his confidence. He sped after Grodd, tricking him into getting sucked into one of the breaches between the worlds, sending him to Earth-2. Meanwhile, Cisco and Kendra finally went on their date, but a kiss at the end caused Cisco to vibe, and this time he realized the birdman he’d been having visions of was actually Kendra.

Will Cisco tell Kendra he knows her secret? And if so, how would that affect their relationship? And what about Barry and Patty – she knows he’s been lying to her. Will she figure out his secret identity on her own, or will he reveal it to her? It seems like everyone knows these days, so why not?!

I’m excited for tonight’s crossover because not only is it the sole reason that I’m still watching Arrow but also because I’m really looking forward to the Legends of Tomorrow spin-off, and it will be great to get a glimpse at some of the characters that will be a part of that series.

On tonight’s episode, “Legends of Today,” a crossover episode with Arrow begins with Vandal Savage attacking Kendra and Cisco. Barry then takes Kendra to Star City and asks Oliver to hide her until he can stop Vandal. But Hawkman, a man with wings, shows up and flies off with Kendra. Meanwhile, Harrison develops a serum to make Barry run faster and asks Jay to test it.

Check out The Flash half of the crossover event tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Muppets, Fresh Off the Boat, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Grandfathered, The Grinder, Scream Queens, iZombie, and Chrisley Knows Best.

theflash106smallI’m really excited for the return of The Flash tonight. In this era of the dark, brooding superhero, it was great to see this series take the opposite approach and just have fun. When the first season left off, Wells had given Barry Allen the chance to go back in time to prevent his mother’s murder. While Barry debated the pros and cons of this unique opportunity, Caitlin and Ronnie got married, with their wedding officiated by Doctor Stein. Ultimately, Barry did go back in time, but just to say good-bye, instead of messing with the unknown consequences of changing the past. However, his trip caused a dangerous wormhole to appear. Eddie, knowing that Barry was predestined to end up with Iris, decided to kill himself in order to stop Thawne from being born and end his evil reign. However, this didn’t stop the deadly wormhole, and now a black hole was looming overhead.

How will Barry use his powers to prevent the destruction of Central City? Is Thawne really dead, and will Eddie’s sacrifice cause anything to change? What will happen to S.T.A.R. Labs without Harrison Wells around? What new meta-humans will Barry and his gang come up against this season? I’m looking forward to another fun, action-packed season!

Also returning to the CW tonight is iZombie, which I ended up really enjoying last season. I had the chance to talk with some of the cast and creators of the show at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. You can find my videos at NoReruns.net.

On tonight’s premiere of The Flash, “The Man Who Saved Central City,” Barry decides to protect Central City on his own, but when Atom Smasher attacks, Iris pleads with Barry to let his friends help protect the citizens. Meanwhile, Cisco helps Joe with his Meta Task Force.

See if Barry will let his friends help tonight on The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Limitless, The Muppets, Fresh Off the Boat, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris, Grandfathered, The Grinder, Scream Queens, and Face Off.

theflash519smallTonight is the exciting first season finale of The Flash. Last week, the gang discovered that Wells had plans to reactivate the particle accelerator, which would kill all of the meta-humans they had locked up in S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry wanted to transport the felons to Olliver’s island, where they could be safely contained. He reached out to Captain Cold, who agreed to help in exchange for wiping out any paper trail of his existence and criminal record. However, Barry soon realized that he had been double-crossed, and the prisoners escaped.

After narrowly escaping the attack from Cold’s rogues, Barry went to meet Wells for a big showdown, where he was joined by Arrow and Firestorm. The epic battle ended when Arrow disabled Wells’s powers using a nanite-filled arrow. Meanwhile, there was a big explosion at Ray’s company as he was inside working on some new changes for his suit; and Eddie told Iris about the headline from the future that said she and Barry would be married.

How are they going to top such an exciting penultimate episode with tonight’s season finale? Will Barry and his team be able to keep Wells locked up in S.T.A.R. Labs, or will Wells find some way to escape? Will Barry be able to clear his father’s name? And what new villain or threat will step in to take Wells’s place?

On tonight’s episode, “Fast Enough,” Wells presents Barry with a life-changing choice. Meanwhile, Dr. Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond return to help the S.T.A.R. Labs team for the final fight.

To see the exciting drama tonight, tune in to The CW at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording iZombie, Younger, and Your Family or Mine.
