Luke Cage - Who's Gonna Take the Weight

Spurred on by the murder of Pop (Frankie Faison), begins targeting the stash houses of Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali) and forces the gangster to pull back all his ill-gotten gains into a single location which, while heavily fortified, can’t keep out a man with unbreakable skin and super-strength. The episode offers another hallway sequence, made famous in the First Season of Daredevil and less and less impressive with each rip-off, as Luke breaks through every level of protection the fortress has in order to allow the police to confiscate nearly all of Cottonmouth’s wealth. This of course means reprisal from his enemy who escalate the situation and allow for the part of the origins of Luke Cage to be revealed in the next episode.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Uprising

“Uprising” continues the season’s trend to split the team, and focus, of the episode in several directions. This means the storyline with the biggest stakes (the life and death of a core character) is shuffled off to a subplot. Let’s be serious, at no point since her ghostly infection did Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., even for a moment, make me believe they were willing to let May (Ming-Na Wen) die. And, because of the strong foreshadowing, the episode tips its hand far too much in just how Holden Radcliffe (John Hannah) will save her as the blackouts effecting the rest of the country finally find their way to his lab.

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.
