Legacies - I Was Made To Love You TV review

“I Was Made to Love You” confirms a couple of suspicions that the Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) who returned isn’t the real one, and is in fact made of Malivore mud, and the mysterious shaman/hunter is actually Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) boyfriend. While I didn’t expect Cleo (Omono Okojie) to be responsible for the Landon golem, there were plenty of clues from this season about there being much more going on with the character than what we’d seen up until this point (and the callback to Hope’s bust was a nice touch). Looks like next week will be reserved for answers concerning these revelations (and maybe, finally, the conclusion to the end of the Malivore storyline?), meaning other lingering threads needed to be taken care of here in the various B-stories which turn out mostly well.

Prodigal Son - Sun and Fun television review

The search for the Surgeon (Michael Sheen) continues as Malcom (Tom Payne) is able to deduce Dr. Vivian Capshaw‘s (Catherine Zeta-Jones) involvement in the serial killer’s escape, and that she in fact kidnapped Martin rather than the other way around, although the profiler has difficulty selling the concept to the rest of the team. (Vivian escalates to full cray-cray here.) The penultimate episode of the season quickly goes from a manhunt for an escaped serial killer to a rescue mission, at least in Malcom’s mind. Despite her doubts, Dani (Aurora Perrineau) stays by Malcom’s side (up until the point that Capshaw kidnaps him as well). The episode ends in a cliffhanger with Martin slipping through the law’s fingers once more (with a new traveling companion) setting up the season’s finale (which, given FOX cancelling the show likely marks it as the series’ finale as well).

The Flash - Timeless television review

Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) plan to deal with the Forces creates a schism within Team Flash in “Timeless.” Despite his own history which says attempting to change the past is a really, really, really bad idea, Barry becomes insistent on the idea of resetting time to prevent the Forces from being born. Iris (Candice Patton) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) are against the plan, but that isn’t enough to prevent Barry from enlisting the help of the lasting remaining Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh). In an episode that cements family as the theme of the season, the show also lays the foundation for Cisco’s exit as this has been confirmed to be Carlos Valdes final season on the show (on the heels of another character disappearing into prison for life).

MacGyver - Soft Touch television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the original improvisational MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) armed only with genius-level intellect, a Swiss Army knife, and whatever he can cobble together to solve the problems of the week. “Soft Touch” offers the return of Penny Parker (Teri Hatcher) who MacGyver finds living in his apartment after bringing a Russian defector (Elya Baskin) to the United States. The trouble from episode comes not from those seeking the defector but instead an assassination plot which Penny unwittingly stumbles upon when starting her new job as a singing telegram girl (mostly due to the fact that every house in the suburbs looks exactly the same).
