BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

FX, 8:00 p.m. ET

With the new Star Trek Into Darkness movie about to beam up into theaters, this is a very opportune time to revisit the 2009 movie that rebooted the franchise. In this prequel, Chris Pine plays a young James T. Kirk, and Zachary Quinto plays the pointy-eared Mr. Spock. It really works, as both a new sci-fi movie and as a full-length homage to the original 1960s series.
 
  
 
 

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

NBC just announced its plans for the coming season, and The Voice is a big part of those plans. In 2013, it surpassed Fox’s American Idol as the most popular music-competition reality series on TV, ending a decade of Idol dominance. Tonight at 9 ET, two of the Top 12 vocalists performing last night will be let go, leaving the show with a neater, and leaner, Top 10.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: There’s a wedding in the works for tonight’s season finale, as CeCe (Hannah Simone) prepares to marry her adoring fiancé. But her ex, Schmidt (Max Greenfield), wants to pull a Graduate and steal the bride. Also part of the wild wedding day: guest star Taylor Swift, playing a wedding guest who has a few ideas of her own.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

In tonight’s episode, Peter Sagal shifts his focus on the Bill of Rights. Even though this series is titled what it is, Sagal has every right to do that. And the Bill of Rights, in part, explains why. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

PBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

Filmmaker Marian Marzynski, who made Shtetl for PBS back in 1996, tells the story of some of the last surviving witnesses of the Holocaust: concentration-camp prisoners and ghetto residents who were small children when they were victimized by the Nazis. In Warsaw, Marzynski convenes with these last living witnesses to hear their testimony and revisit haunting locations and memories. Then he tells his own story – for the first time – as one of them. Read more about Marzynski and his body of work in a recent column by Eric Mink. Check local listings.
