BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s two-hour episode expands to make room for a central plot sure to appeal to all the kids whose hearts were warmed by Frozen: like Elsa in that hit animated version of The Snow Queen, Emma (Jennifer Morrison) begins to isolate herself from her community because of fears that her magical powers might bring harm to someone near and dear to her. Meanwhile, this show’s actual, evil Snow Queen, played by Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost, makes herself an even more chilly presence this week.

 
  
 
 

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

Could things get any worse for poor Cary Agos (Matt Czuchry)? Yes. And tonight, they do. He and Diane (Christine Baranski) are called into an FBI office to listen to an official wiretap – one that appears to have the very dangerous Lemond Bishop, one of Cary’s well-connected but ruthless clients, ordering Cary’s death. Within the week. And that’s just for starters…

 
  
 
 

AMC, 9:00 p.m. ET

This season’s theme, based on the way different episodes have focused on different members of Rick’s increasingly separated team, seems to be “divide and conquer.” And tonight, we focus on yet another individual, one who already has been responsible, this season, for saving the lives of Rick and the others. It’s Carol (Melissa McBride) – and tonight, we see flashbacks of her survival quest with Daryl (Norman Reedus), and follow the path that, eventually, leads her back to the ominous hospital, as seen in last week’s very effective cliffhanger.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

The Boston Marathon bombing proved a very smart subject to examine the sorts of issues Aaron Sorkin is most interested in probing in this HBO series. How is breaking news disseminated, collected and, most important, verified in this new century of social media and intense TV news competition? Last week’s season premiere showed that getting the story, and getting it right, is not easy. But, more than ever, it’s important. In tonight’s episode, Jane Fonda returns as cable news network owner Leona Lansing – and once again, she’s fixing for a fight. This time, it’s because she fears her company is about to be poached… and she’s correct.

 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

Saul (Mandy Patinkin) looks to be in the most dire of situations, captured by the enemy, paraded before a video camera, and threatened with death. But Carrie (Claire Danes) looked to be in the most dire of situations last week – and here she is, trying to figure out a way to secure Saul’s release.

Pelayanan paling anjing yang pernah kami alami. Setelah uang masuk, sikap berubah total. Komplain diabaikan, solusi tidak ada, dan tanggung jawab nol besar.

Hei bajingan, pergilah dan tiduri kuda yang kau tunggangi itu, lalu tinggalkan komunitas cinta dan damai yang berfokus pada TV ini.

Hormat saya,
