The Blacklist - The Director

The Blacklist returns from it’s mid-season hiatus with a two-part episode which will finally reveal Reddington‘s (James Spader) plan to stop the Cabal, clear Lizzie (Megan Boone), and (at least somewhat) restore the show’s status quo by targeting Peter Kotsiopulos (David Strathairn). While the first episode is spent primarily just keeping Lizzie alive and out of the hands of the Cabal, the second-half slowly reveals Red’s plan as the pieces put in place over the first half of the show’s Third Season finally come together (including a well executed con allowing the group to grab the Director from under the noses of his own security).

Liv (Rose McIver) earns her way back into Babineaux‘s (Malcolm Goodwin) good graces when she helps solve the murder of a cast member on her favorite soap opera “Zombie High.” Chowing down on the pretenious actor’s brains also gives the zombie detective some added acting ability which will come in handy to close the case. In the wake of breaking up with Major (Robert Buckley), Liv and her former beau also must deal with Ravi‘s (Rahul Kohli) news that the zombie cure is only temporary.

Spenser for Hire - Promised Land

The year was 1985 and private detective shows were in vogue. The decade saw shows like Magnum, P.I., Remington Steele, Moonlighting, Matt Houston, Simon & Simon, Mike Hammer, Jake and the Fatman, Partners in Crime, and others all hit the airwaves. One of those shows was Spenser for Hire. My introduction into the world of Robert B. Parker‘s Boston private investigator came not from one of the author’s novels but the television show based on them. And I’ve been a fan ever since.

Second Chance - A Suitable Donor

Owing more than a little to Frankenstein, Fox’s new crime-drama Second Chance centers around dead former sheriff Ray Pritchard (Philip Baker Hall/Robert Kazinsky) whose unique genetic markers allow the corpse to brought back to life by billionaire tech-genius Otto Goodwin (Adhir Kalyan). The scientist’s experiment might be the only thing which can save his twin sister Mary’s (Dilshad Vadsaria) life. After being brought back to life in a younger, and physically enhanced, body, Pritchard sets out to save his son (Tim DeKay) whose dirty partner (Derek Webster) in the FBI threw poor Ray off a bridge.
