The Flash - Grodd Lives

Although the search for the Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh) and the missing Eddie (Rick Cosnett) remain a priority for Barry (Grant Gustin) and his team, things get a bit more complicated when a new player emerges. Teased earlier in the season, Grodd gets a proper introduction in “Grodd Lives” as the capture of a mind-controlled gold robber, who turns out to be General Wade Eiling (Clancy Brown), leads Barry, Joe (Jesse L. Martin), and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) into the sewers underneath Central City where they find the gorilla who was Eiling’s old experiment augmented by the Accelerator explosion and is now able to bend others to his will.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Scars

As we’ve witnessed over the show’s two seasons Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to ride the wave of a Marvel film release which continues to help lift the show out of the muck the show has been stuck in for much of the Second Season. The first episode following Avengers: Age of Ultron reestablishes the status quo for S.H.I.E.L.D. going forward, blending the two groups together and, before the episode’s end, dumping the problematic character of Gonzales (Edward James Olmos) like hot garbage. The episode also says farewell to Mac (Henry Simmons) who goes out in a less than sterling manner by sticking more to his preconceptions and prejudices than principles. And, of course, “Scars” also begins the show’s new arc of S.H.I.E.L.D. vs. the Inhumans.

Castle - Dead from New York

Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) are called in to investigate the murder of the creator and producer of a Saturday Night Live-style comedy show when the man’s body is found in the studio. There are several moments which are meant to be cute, such as Castle getting annoyed with Beckett flirting with one of the stars of the show (who is also a suspect), but don’t quite work. (No matter her personal feelings for someone she certainly wouldn’t let it interfere in a murder investigation or dance with Castle in public in the middle of a crime scene.)
