Timeless - The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

The second episode of the new series sends our three intrepid time travelers back to 1865 on the day Abraham Lincoln (Michael Krebs) was assassinated. While we know Flynn (Goran Visnjic) has plans to change history, once again the episode obscures what his true motives are as history plays out (for the most part) in much the same way. Meanwhile, Lucy (Abigail Spencer), Wyatt (Matt Lanter), and Rufus (Malcolm Barrett) have their own internal debate about possibly doing more than just stopping Rufus and saving Lincoln from assassination. Assuming Flynn is after the other targets of the assassination plot, Lucy and her team split-up to cover the targets. Successful in that none of the other men were killed there’s still the lingering question over how much Flynn’s changes effected their own timeline.

The Big Bang Theory - The Cohabitation Experimentation

A burst pipe in Amy‘s (Mayim Bialik) apartment has domino effects for her boyfriend and roommates. Presented as a five-week experiment, Amy convinces Sheldon (Jim Parsons) to live with her in Penny‘s (Kaley Cuoco) apartment while allowing the newlyweds some much-needed alone time. The results are what you would expect – untempered glee from Leonard and Penny and new struggles for Sheldon and Amy (some of which provides amusing moments including Leonard’s words of advice for Amy). The episode also throws in a B-story involving the Walowitzes most notable for the pair calling and hanging up on Raj (Kunal Nayyar) repeatedly in the middle of the night.

Supergirl - The Adventures of Supergirl

With Supergirl moving from CBS and joining the other DC Comics television properties on The CW there were questions about how much the show would change. Picking up just seconds after the First Season finale, Supergirl kicks off its Second Season with a strong opener. The entire core cast returns with some important additions and minor tweaks. First, the DEO has moved from their lonely cave to a downtown skyscraper – and has a new employee in Winn (Jeremy Jordan) who is now in far better position to help Supergirl (Melissa Benoist). Second, the city is now also home to Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), the stepsister of the world’s wealthiest federal prisoner. And then, of course, there’s Superman.

Lucifer - Sin-Eater

Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and Chloe‘s (Lauren German) latest case sends them after a punisher targeting those who have posted damaging videos on a social media site which have ruined peoples’ lives. At first angered by the competition, and then enamored with the level of vengeance, Lucifer’s true interest in the case comes from his mother (Tricia Helfer) questioning why he feels the need to punish the guilty even after he’s escaped Hell and why he continues to perform the same role God wanted even after escaping to Earth.
