Tonight’s episode of Supergirl has been swapped out for another, as CBS responds to last week’s terrorist attacks in Paris. The episode originally scheduled to run this evening involved a plot in which Supergirl’s fictitious National City is the victim of a series of bombings. Replacing it is the episode planned for next week: a Thanksgiving episode, featuring Helen Slater, star of the 1984 Supergirl movie, reprising her role here, from the series pilot, as the future Supergirl’s foster mother, Dr. Danvers.

This season, “Rise of the Villains” also has been a “Rise of Escalation.” Each week, it seems, more people are grabbing more power, and pointing weapons at one another – and Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) always seems to be caught in the middle.

John Leguizamo narrates, and Tommy Mottola is executive producer.

When I previewed tonight’s episode of Fargo, I was leaning forward in my chair, drawn in by the tension of the various showdowns – as when Lou finds himself significantly outgunned, Hank is targeted by the vicious Dodd, and the drunken Karl – played deliciously by Nick Offerman – finds himself trying to stand up against some bloodthirsty killers, while laboring to stand up, period. How can a scene be funny and tense at the same time? Just watch…
