The CW’s The 100 season six kicked off with a landing party venturing down to the surface of the planet they’ll be calling home, at least for now. It didn’t take long for Clarke, Bellamy, Murphy, and the rest of the small group to discover the new enemy they’ll be up against: alien plants and bugs influenced by the Red Sun. Plus, as The 100 is wont to do, the episode involved the death of a beloved character.
Raven won’t be allowed even a little happiness after all as Shaw was electrocuted while the group was attempting to escape the attacking insects. (RIP Shaw and bye-bye Jordan Bolger.) The episode also almost said goodbye to Kane (it was this/close), however he was safely tucked back in a pod before he died following what Abby believed had been a successful surgery.
Down on the planet, a children’s book holds the clue to this dangerous new world. “The stars align and wakes. It’s time to run away. For two days, heaven is hell. And friends are foe.”
Up next, season six episode two titled “Red Sun Rising” and airing May 7, 2019. Episode two was directed by Alex Kalymnios from a script by Jeff Vlaming.
The cast of season six includes Eliza Taylor as Clarke Griffin, Paige Turco as Dr. Abigail Griffin, Bob Morley as Bellamy Blake, Marie Avgeropoulos as Octavia Blake, Lindsey Morgan as Raven Reyes, Richard Harmon as John Murphy, Tasya Teles as Echo, and Shannon Kook as Jordan Green. Luisa D’Oliveria is Emori, Sachin Sahel is Jackson, and Jarod Joseph is Miller.
The “Red Sun Rising” Plot – SURVIVAL – The team on the ground flights to survive the threat they face on the new planet. Meanwhile, Raven (Lindsey Morgan) must join forces with an unlikely ally to save everyone on board the Mothership.
The 100 Season 6 Plot:
“After the game-changing season five finale, Clarke and the team make their way down to the new planet. They are left wondering if this planet is suitable for life, and if the human race can finally live in peace? What will they find on this new mysterious home, and what will emerge from Monty’s discovery of the Eligius III mission?”

FX Networks just announced the summer 2019 premiere dates for three returning shows: Baskets, Legion, and Snowfall. The award-winning comedy Baskets returns for its fourth season on Thursday, June 13th at 10pm ET/PT. Snowfall‘s third season debuts on Wednesday, July 10th at 10pm ET/PT. And Legion will kick off its third – and final – season on Monday, June 24th at 10pm ET/PT.
The network previously announced Archer: 1999 debuts May 29th, The Weekly enters the primetime lineup on June 2nd, and Pose season two premieres on June 11th.
In addition to confirming the premiere dates, FX also revealed details on the upcoming new seasons of Legion, Baskets, and Snowfall:
Baskets – Big changes are underway for the Baskets family. After 49 years, Chip (Zach Galifianakis) decides it’s finally time to move out of his mom’s place. But even with the help of Martha (Martha Kelly) and a life coach, he learns that leaving the nest is hard, to say the least. Christine (Louie Anderson) and Ken (Alex Morris) move into a new place they can call their own, but carpet emergencies and missing kitchen magnets make the transition rockier than expected. And Dale (Zach Galifianakis) has found kindred spirits with his fellow inhabitants at the RV park.
Legion – Based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, Legion is the story of “David Haller” (Dan Stevens), a man who believed himself to be schizophrenic only to discover that he is the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen.
From childhood, David shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next until, in his early 30s, he met and fell in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named “Syd Barrett” (Rachel Keller). After Syd and David shared a startling encounter, he was forced to confront the shocking reality that the voices he hears and the visions he sees are actually real. With the help of Syd and a team of specialists who also possess unique and extraordinary gifts – “Ptonomy Wallace” (Jeremie Harris), “Kerry Loudermilk” (Amber Midthunder) and “Cary Loudermilk” (Bill Irwin) – David unlocked a deeply suppressed truth: he had been haunted his entire life by a malicious parasite of unimaginable power. Known as “The Shadow King,” this malevolent creature appeared in the form of David’s friend “Lenny Busker” (Aubrey Plaza), but was actually an ancient being named “Amahl Farouk” (Navid Negahban).
During an epic showdown, David managed to push Farouk out of his body and gain control of his mind. With Farouk on the loose, the team formed an unlikely alliance with their former enemy, “Clark DeBussy” (Hamish Linklater), and his well-funded government organization, Division 3. Unfortunately, the hunt for Farouk reawakened the dark voices in David’s head, and within them, a lust for power. At odds with everyone he once considered a friend, David enlists the help of a young mutant named “Switch” (Lauren Tsai) whose secret ability is key to his plans to repair the damaged he caused.
Snowfall – It’s the summer of 1984, and it’s season three of Snowfall. Crack cocaine is spreading like wildfire through South Central Los Angeles, continuing its path of destruction and changing the culture forever. Police are waking up to this growing epidemic, and Sergeant Andre Wright (Marcus Henderson) has set his sights on budding Kingpin and next door neighbor Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) and his people. While local law enforcement fights to stem the tide, Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson) and the CIA are working hard to make sure the flow of cocaine into LA doesn’t stop.
To continue funding the war against communism in Central America, Teddy will need to find new routes into the United States using Gustavo “El Oso” Zapata (Sergio Peris-Mencheta) and what’s left of the Villanueva family. As the stakes and losses continue to mount our players truly begin to understand the destructive force they have set in motion, forced to reexamine their own motivations and the cost of continuing forward from here.
When was the last time we had a decent killer alligator movie? Lake Placid in 1999? 2019’s Crawl attempts to make up for the lack of alligators on the attack on film.
The first official trailer introduces two people trapped in a flooding house while a massive alligator stalks its potential victims. And if seeing two people fighting for their lives while trying to stay above water and out of the mouth of a gator wasn’t suspenseful enough, the trailer shows there’s a dog also paddling around trying to stay off the alligator’s lunch menu.
Kaya Scodelario (Maze Runner: The Death Cure) and Barry Pepper (Kill the Messenger) star as the alligator’s prey.
Crawl was directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Horns) from a screenplay by Michael Rasmussen and Shawn Rasmussen. Sam Raimi produced the horror film with Craig Flores and director Aja. Gregory Levasseur, Justin Bursch and Lauren Selig served as executive producers. The behind the scenes team includes director of photography Maxime Alexandre, editor Elliot Greenberg, production deigner Alan Gilmore, and costume designer Momirka Bailovic.
Paramount Pictures plans to release Crawl in theaters on July 12, 2019.
The Plot:
When a massive hurricane hits her Florida hometown, Haley (Scodelario) ignores evacuation orders to search for her missing father (Pepper). Finding him gravely injured in the crawl space of their family home, the two become trapped by quickly encroaching floodwaters. As time runs out to escape the strengthening storm, Haley and her father discover that the rising water level is the least of their fears.

The Big Bang Theory cast celebrated the show’s 12 season run by adding their handprints to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Cast members Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, and Melissa Rauch finished up work on the show’s final episode (#279) on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 and then took part in the handprint ceremony in front of the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX in Hollwyood on May 1st.
The handprint ceremony marked the first time in the Hollywood Walk of Fame history that the cast of a standalone television series was recognized with this special honor. The Star Trek cast was previously recognized with a handprint ceremony, however it was honored for its 25th anniversary as well as its six feature film adaptations.
Airing for 12 seasons, The Big Bang Theory holds the record as the longest-running multi-camera series in television history. The one-hour series finale is set to air on Thursday, May 16, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT on CBS.
“Having just wrapped the final episode the night before, we’re on a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. But we can definitely count this iconic handprint ceremony at the Chinese Theatre as one of the highs. We’d like to thank all of our viewers who’ve supported us over the last 12 years and made an unforgettable event like this possible,” said The Big Bang Theory executive producer and co-creator Chuck Lorre.
The Big Bang Theory Plot:
“Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists – geniuses in the laboratory but socially challenged everywhere else. Enter beautiful, street-smart neighbor Penny, who aims to teach them a thing or two about life. Despite their on-again, off-again relationship in the past, Leonard and Penny have finally gotten married. Even Sheldon has found a female companion, entering into a ‘relationship agreement’ with neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler, and he recently took their relationship to the next level by marrying her after a long courtship.
In their free time, Leonard and Sheldon enjoy fantasy role-playing games with their ever-expanding universe of friends, including fellow scientists Koothrappali, Wolowitz and Wolowitz’s adorable microbiologist wife, Bernadette, who is adjusting to life with their two children.”
“We need to make a pit stop first. We need to rob The Flash,” says Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) to her new team of rogue villains in season five episode 20 of The CW’s The Flash.
As the episode begins, Team Flash has set up S.T.A.R. Lab satellites to search for Nora. They’re also using tech to pick up any Speed Force action as they attempt to find Nora and bring her back home. Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) teams up with Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) to check out her father’s old lab and try to figure out why Cicada II stole the cryo-atomizer.
Barry (Grant Gustin), Joe (Jesse L. Martin), Iris (Candice Patton) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) investigate a break-in and quickly realize Nora is the culprit and that she’s using power from the Negative Speed Force to avoid being detected.
Over in another part of town, Nora has invited Queen Bee (Emily Kinney), Weather Witch (Reina Hardesty), and Ragdoll (Troy James) together and asks if they want to work with her on the heist of a lifetime. The job is to break into a high security vault with meta-dampening defenses at a military weapons manufacturer. At first the three career criminals are ready to walk but when Nora says the weapons will go for easily a million on the black market, they change their minds.
Meanwhile, Caitlin and Ralph are over at what used to be her father’s lab/prison. Ralph asks Caitlin how Killer Frost is handling losing Caitlin’s father. Caitlin says Frost has never experienced this kind of grief before and that she doesn’t think they’ll see her anytime soon. When Ralph goes on and on about his 27 steps of dealing with grief, Frost gets irritated and appears to tell Ralph to shut up. While she’s there, she uses her cold powers to help them in their search. Ralph proudly tells Caitlin, “I knew I could make her show up.”
Over at the West house, Iris is working with Cecile (Danielle Nicolet) and admits she doesn’t understand why Nora didn’t come to Team Flash for help.
Nora breaks into S.T.A.R. Labs archives and sets off an alert. Barry finds her there and cautiously approaches, admitting he was wrong to send her back to the future. He confesses he’s sorry and wants her to come home as long as she stops working with Thawne. Nora’s still very upset and hurt by what Barry did and can’t believe he would ever trust her again. She keeps getting more and more upset to the point her face begins to vibrate and her eyes turn fiery red…just like Thawne when he’s the Reverse Flash. Barry attempts to calm her down but she speeds off, knocking him over.
Sherloque (Tom Cavanagh) and Cisco are in the elevator headed down to try to talk to Nora when they’re surprised (and attacked) by Rag Doll.
Barry tells Iris and Joe about what Nora did, convinced she’s been completely brainwashed by Thawne. He leaves to trap his daughter but Iris goes after him, telling him he needs to stop treating her like a criminal and that they need to figure out why she’s acting this way.
Meanwhile, Cisco and Sherloque are tied up at Nora and the young rogues’ hideout. Nora tells Cisco she wants him to hack the hypnotizing phone she stole so she can use it. He laughs and reminds her he’s been in this type of situation too many times to count and he didn’t do what the villain wanted. Nora gets angry and starts to vibrate her arm, threatening Cisco that if he doesn’t she’ll kill him.
Cisco, not sure if Nora is bluffing, agrees to hack the phone. Sherloque uses this time to apologize to Nora for exposing her secret the way he did and wishes he had given her a chance to come clean to Team Flash. (What?! She wasn’t going to come clean and now she’s acting like a criminal…apology not needed or deserved.) The young rogues realize Nora’s father is The Flash.
Caitlin and Ralph continue searching and Caitlin discovers Cicada II stole Cisco’s prototype for the meta-cure. “I think I know what Cicada is planning,” says Caitlin.
Back at the young rogues’ hideout, Weather Witch and Nora talk about family letting them down and how they need to trust each other. Rag Doll and Queen Bee agree as well. Cisco’s working on the phone and yells to Nora he’s done. Nora takes the phone and Queen Bee uses it to hypnotize Cisco and Sherloque with her swarm of meta-tech bees. Cisco set up the phone to glitch and he and Sherloque are able to bring themselves out of the trance and escape.
Barry has a heart-to-heart with Joe about what he and Iris discussed regarding Nora. Joe reminds Barry he always put being Barry’s dad above everything else. Barry admits he was ready to give up on Nora and asks Joe if Iris is right that Thawne might be trying to redeem himself through Nora. Joe assures Barry he doesn’t trust Thawne and never will, but he does trust his granddaughter.
Nora, Weather Witch and Queen Bee show up at the weapons manufacturer dressed in military outfits and with fake IDs to get in. They knock out their escorts and have Rag Doll – in a truly creepy and disturbing scene – climb out of the briefcase Nora is carrying and go through a steam pipe that leads him into the vault so he can unlock the door from the outside.
Once inside Queen Bee and Weather Witch surprise Nora by betraying her. They hold her and the knocked-out escorts hostage and post a message that if The Flash doesn’t arrive and reveal his identity, they will kill them. The Flash speeds there and – surprise! – it’s not The Flash at all but a hologram of The Flash being controlled by Sherloque back at S.T.A.R. Labs. Another surprise: The Flash, Iris, and Joe are already there using the facial transmogrifiers to pose as the hostages.
The fight is on as The Flash and Nora take on Queen Bee and Weather Witch, while Joe and Iris take on Rag Doll. Barry takes a hit from Weather Witch’s staff that’s meant for Nora and it knocks out the meta-dampener device in the room. The Flash quickly ties up Weather Witch and Queen Bee. “You were with me the whole time,” says Nora, smiling up at her father. “I abandoned you once. I’m not doing it again,” replies Barry.
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Nora confesses she thought she could control the rogues and she was really after a particular gun that’s made from satellite parts. It’s the only device that will destroy Cicada II’s dagger. Iris asks why she didn’t come to them and Barry answers that Nora didn’t think he would believe her. Nora assures her parents she won’t see Thawne anymore and will bail on the plan to stop Cicada II. But Barry shocks her by saying they should use the plan and that he trusts Nora.
Caitlin and Ralph return and reveal Cicada II is making a metahuman virus to kill all the metahumans with.
The last scene of season five episode 20 is a brief look at Cicada II (Sarah Carter) perfecting the killer metahuman virus with a vision of her uncle watching over her, smiling.
The Flash Season 5 Episode 20 “Gone Rogue” Review:
Once again it’s Nora who’s put center stage and this time as what looks like a new villain in episode 20. This episode lifts way too many scenarios and ideas that were original from season one episodes, including “Revenge of the Rogues” and “Rogue Air.” One of the biggest problems with season five is the repetition of ideas and scenarios from the first few seasons of The Flash.
The episode’s highlights include returning to formulas that do work, such as Joe still giving sound and helpful advice to Barry on how he should handle trusting Nora, plus the reteaming of Sherloque and Cisco. Tom Cavanagh and Carlos Valdes have always had incredible chemistry and any scenes with them playing opposite each other are always very entertaining.
With Caitlin figuring out Cicada II’s plan (seriously, Team Flash would be doomed without her!) and Nora stealing the gun to destroy Cicada II’s dagger, Team Flash has never been in a stronger position to take out Cicada II…but what about Thawne?!

Season one stars Missy Peregrym as Special Agent Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki as Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, and Ebonée Noel as Kristen Chazal. The cast also includes Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine and Sela Ward as Dana Mosier.
The “Appearances” Plot – After a decorated FBI agent is murdered, the team investigates and uncovers the man led a double life. Also, Maggie struggles with what information she should reveal to the agent’s widow, who is also her personal friend.
FBI Season 1 Plot:
“From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind the Law & Order franchise, FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe.
Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan, a West Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI. Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge, Dana Mosier, who operates under intense pressure 24/7/365 and has undeniable command authority.
The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. Kristen Chazal is the team’s most valued resource, a brilliant analyst recruited straight out of university who can piece together the big picture faster than anyone. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime and counterintelligence.”
CBS teases heists and history converge with their new summer drama, Blood & Treasure. The action adventure series will debut with a two-hour episode airing on May 21, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT, immediately following NCIS’s season finale. It’ll move to its regular Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT on May 28th.
The cast is led by Matt Barr (Valor) as Danny McNamara and Sofia Pernas (The Brave) as Lexi Vaziri. Michael James Shaw is Aiden Shaw, Katia Winter is Gwen Karlsson, James Callis is Simon Hardwick, Oded Fehr is Karim Farouk, Alicia Coppola is Dr. Anna Castillo, and Mark Gagliardi plays Father Chuck.

The Plot, Courtesy of CBS:
“Blood & Treasure is a globe-trotting action-adventure drama about a brilliant antiquities expert and a cunning art thief who team up to catch a ruthless terrorist who funds his attacks through stolen treasure. Danny McNamara is a former FBI agent specializing in stolen arts and antiquities. Lexi Vaziri is a resourceful art thief who is haunted by the tragic loss of her father, which she blames on Danny. When terrorist Karim Farouk absconds with a priceless artifact and kidnaps Danny’s mentor, Dr. Anna Castillo, Danny recruits Lexi to help him bring Farouk to justice and rescue Anna.
As they chase down Farouk, they encounter unscrupulous individuals who may either be useful allies or dangerous enemies, including Aiden Shaw, an arms dealer who acts solely in his self-interest, and Simon Hardwick, an expert at procuring pilfered artifacts. Danny and Lexi are assisted by Father Chuck, a childhood friend of Danny’s who works at the Vatican Foreign Ministry in Rome.
Their hunt draws the attention of Interpol agent Gwen Karlsson, who wants Farouk brought to justice, but won’t allow Danny and Lexi to break international laws in the process. As they crisscross the world hunting their target, Danny and Lexi unexpectedly find themselves at the center of a 2,000-year-old battle for the cradle of civilization.”
