Asteroid vs Earth (2014) [19:00, Syfy] A young astronomer spotted a death-rock; 10 days to impact. NSA goons crashed in on Evan, waving guns. The military bozos wouldn't listen to Evan. The Russians were useless. Evan told the general the asteroid couldn't be deflected but he reckoned setting off nukes in an ocean trench would cause massive quakes which would move the Earth out of the path of the steroid.
   Chase, submarine XO, had his date with Marissa, ROV specialist, cut short by his own crew waving guns. Marissa got the job of placing the nukes in the trench. The sub's launch bay caught fire and Chase and Marissa were almost croaked. Big precursor meteorites bombarded the US military.
   The Russian missiles fired at the rock just made things worse. The attempts to destroy the rock cut 3 days off the time left to act. The Chinese didn't want a planet-saving US sub in their waters. Chase's buddy, Lt. Rudi, had to dodge a tsunami. Hong Kong was wiped out. The ROV was launched just before the Chinks opened fire on the sub.
   Chase decided to split the sub in two and drop the nukes into the trench inside the useless rear half. But the nukes didn't go off. But the ones in the ROV did. The bang wasn't big enough. So Rudi had to drop some small nukes into a volcano by hand. Kaboom! And the Earth was saved.

Body of Proof 2/2 [19:00, Alibi] The plague was still rampant and Kate was whizzed off to hospital. The Fed realized that one of the 100 bodies in the morgue could be the dead terrorist. No, he was a guy in Kate's isolation ward. No, he was still running around. The Disease Control guy realized it was Marburg, Ebola's nastier cousin.
   The suspect in Kate's ward got an experimental vaccine; and promptly croaked. But from coincidental natural causes. Peter saw the killer on a bus video and got to shoot the creep.

Battle Creek [23:00, Universal+1] is the armpit of the universe; none of the police equipment works and the cops are as screwed up as the gear. FBI Agent Milt is booted out of Detroit and sent to a palatial field office there to catch a double homicide on his first day. And he does so much better than the local detectives. Det. Russ has to team up with him.
   Milt is exposed to the Battle Creek Way. Russ ends up in hospital after a drive-by precipitated by Milt, and he has to admit that the naive, simplistic Milt is way better than him. Surprise!

   The cops found the dead woman's prison. Is Sergei an enforcer for sex traffickers? Det. Tommy busted him but he had diplomatic immunity. The killer turned out to be the rich guy's nasty mom. And Sergei? He recovered the baby for the grandmother and his mission was too spuriously top secret for him to tell Kate he was a good guy. Very, very lame.
Castle [21:00, Alibi] The air marshall on Castle's flight to London with Alexis is done in and his gun is missing. Terrorism!!! The crew gives the case to Castle and he phones Beckett in New York. There's an Arab bloke with a stolen passport, but he's just a red herring, not an ISIS terrorist. There's also a crazy woman aboard but she can't be the killer.
   Castle spills red win on the crazy woman, making her even madder. She's the dead guy's girlfriend!! There's a courier wearing a $13M watch; no, it's a fake. He was drugged and robbed by an elderly dinner lady, who produced the gun. But Alexis defused her.

[Thursday, 08th] Body of Proof [19:00, Alibi] Megan failed to drag Det. Tommy into bed. He had doubts about a guy being done for murder so Megan tried to frame Tommy for killing a woman just because she saw him talking to her in a bar. The woman was trying to prove the innocene of the guy being framed.
   His frame put Tommy in gaol. The stoopid Chief believed Megan's frame-up so much that she got Megan pulled from the case! Megan's daughter shamed her mom into busting the frame. The real killer tried to take out Det. Tommy and Megan's frame-up fell apart.
Rizzoli & Isles [21:00, Alibi] A dog found the body of Sheila, an all-round good kid. A shrink dropped in on Maura after a gap of years wanting to know about Sheila. Why?

   Darby was the killer!! Which didn't fit Megan's plan. Surprise! Darby showed out as a crazed killer. There wasn't enough egg in the world to go on Megan's face.

[Saturday, 10th] Classic Albums: The Dark Side of the Moon [20:00, Sky Arts] I've watched this before and I'll probably watch it again. It's good to revisit the music and hear it explained; and the Floyd occasionally being pretentious about it. But they're forgiven. (2003)

Then Milt helped to stitch up the pot guy.

[Wednesday, 14th] Death in Paradise [19:00, Alibi] The useless airline lost DI Poole's luggage when he was sent to a hell-hole Caribbean island where nothing works, just like in Battle Creek. Poole wore a suit and tie despite the temperature. He was there to investigate the murder of a British cop in a rich man's panic room. Sarah, the wife, was having an affair with dead Charlie, so was it rich James?
   There was a clue in Charlie's showerhead; Poole had been given his quarters. It led to a box of cash and blank passports. Charlie & James were people smuggling and Charlie's cleaning lady was dodgy. No, she was an undercover cop. James got dead, too.
   Poole was outraged that he hadn't been told that Camille (French) was working the case too. Surprise! That nice lady police sergeant was the killer; she was fed up with being passed over for promotion. As a reward for his success, Poole was stuck on the island.

[Thursday, 15th] Death In Paradise [19:00, Alibi] Like everything else, the tea on the island is terrible. And you can't have a quiet break without a dead bride turning up, shot with a spear gun. There were 4 suspects from the wedding party. Why did Lisa want to go into unoccupied suite 502? Camille's mother could make decent tea!
   The only prints on the spear gun belonged to the diving instructor, from whom it had been stolen. The dodgy best man tried to borrow 50 grand from Lisa, who was loaded. The husband was due to get nothing if she died, but she hadn't signed the pre-nup.
   There was another murder; the maid for the bridal suite's floor. DI Poole turned the case on its head to crack it. The butler dunnit.
Rizzoli & Isles [21:00, Alibi] Bloke wearning a naff necklace croaked at a club; poisoned with puffer fish toxin. He sold crap jools to the rich and tasteless, so his competitors were suspects.

   She had been breaking the tribal code by selling diamonds to the dead guy. But his unappreciated designer was busted just because she had bought some puffer fish for her aquarium. Finally, Jane had to move in with Frankie to prevent his mom from doing it.

   The priest was harassed over having an affair with the disappeared wife. DI Poole harassed the head again. The head said the old voodoo bat threatened to put a curse on him if he didn't admit killing his wife. Camille's mum put Poole on the right track.
   The crazy old lady was dying and she poisoned herself to try to frame the head. But Poole busted the head for killing his wife and hanging on to her skeleton. Then Camille's mum cooked him some decent grub.

[Saturday, 17th] Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (2009) [17:00, Syfy] The US military is messing about in a frozen zone and releases a vast shark from the ice. It chomps an airliner out of the sky. A lady who stole a minisub to watch whales is fired from the Institute so she hooks up with an ex-navy paeleobiologist guru, who identifies the shark as a megalodon. Extinct for yonks.
   There's a giant octopus of similar vintage messing about off Japan. The military wants to destroy the creatures. The scientists want to trap them in San Francisco bay. Navy bozos keep reporting the shark destroyed when it isn't. The shark eats the Golden Gate bridge. After lots of faffing about, the two monsters are lured into battle. Mutual Monster Extermination.
Year One (2009) [19:00, Sony] is a story of 2 guys who can't hunt or gather, like the rest of the tribe, and are expelled because the pushy one eats the forbidden fruit. Surprise. They find that the world doesn't end beyond the mountains, where common ignorance says it does, and they find themselves in the biblical times of Cain and Abel, and Sodd 'em & Gomorrah. Our heroes have all sorts of jolly fun there. Daft comedy, but it works.

Discovering Edward Grobinson [20:00, Sky Arts] Pretty well forgotten now, he was a huge film star, playing comedy roles as well as being type-cast as a gangster.

   SOCA had her flagged and one of their coppers was on the island, lurking. Money laundering was at the back of it. The Commissioner told Poole he could have his old job back in London. Poole cracked the case, and busted Camille's mom's boyfriend as the killer, and he was unable to make the vital phone call home in time.

When accused, the doctor revealed that the dead guy was dying. Kim was clearly a gold-digger. Alex, the nephew, had hired a PI to get the goods on her.
   Poole found an alibi-busting secret tunnel from the mill. He held a gathering for revelation purposes; including a tale of an ancient death at the plantation. Poole closed in on the son of the industrial accident victim as the killer; Kim's brother.

[Tuesday, 27th] Death In Paradise [19:00, Alibi] Sister Therese was found dead in a smoke-filled, locked bedroom. And there was a phantom nun at the convent. DI Poole decided that he was looking at murder dressed up as an accident. Therese was planning to return to France. Camille's mum pointed the police at the dodgy PR guy, who frightened Therese. The convent was going bust and he was trying to promote the convent's dodgy holy spring by paying people to say they'd been cured by it.
   The PR guy's fiancée owned the source of the spring. One of the nuns was attacked but wouldn't talk. Mr. Dodgy admitted bribery. Duane bagged the phantom; the fiancée, who'd been giving the head nun chemotherapy for the cancer she claimed the spring water had cured. Eventually, Poole solved the locked room mystery and cracked Father John's secret.

The widow of the gang-banger's victim lies her head off when she says she thinks he can be parolled.
   The dead fireman wouldn't put up with the hazing, so the treatment got worse. His killer said he was just following The Code. Dr. Cal finally realized that the widow wanted the killer out of gaol so that she could kill him herself. But Dr. Cal got in the way.
Battle Creek [20:00, Universal] Milt is getting 911 calls about homicides instead of the PD and he has an X-RF fingerprint gadget, which can detect prints from the killer's dog. BC has its own tracker dog but Milt brings in a military dog; and loses to Russ's policing instincts. The dog actually belongs to the dead woman's son, who is being raised by her non-druggie half-sister.
   The cops pursue the dead woman's Tuesday Guy but he's dead. Natural causes, says the ME. Milt tells Russ he feels guilty about sleeping through the 9/11 attack. The dead guy's son & daughter get a grilling. They leg it instead of getting a smart lawyer to shield them. Too stoopid to live. Russ finds that Milt joined the FBI in 2003, and the kid with the dog inherits $42 million from the Tuesday Guy instead of his other kids.

[Wednesday, 28th] Death In Paradise [19:00, Alibi] A close encounter with a dead floater at a cosmetic surgery clinic. Poole found the Commissioner there, wanting a suicide verdict.

   The guy stealing medicines was busted. The boss of the clinic was losing his sight. Poole got to chase and trap a suspect.

   Surprise! The death of Milly, the Magnificent McKenzie's wife, was a stunt to get her out of the marriage.

DI Poole did a lot of scoffing at the lost treasure story.
   Just Liz and Chris left as suspects; but Liz was investigating Morgan for insurance fraud. The case was nothing to do with the treasure, Poole concluded, and he got a confession out of Ben, the part-time helper, on condition that he kept his motive a secret. Morgan and Parks had found palladium in the cave and Ben had killed them to prevent the jungle from being strip-mined.

Korsak struggled to prevent the dog from being put down. The gang visited the world of dog shows. Maura thought that 2 people tried to poison the dead woman! She was a hold-out to a big property deal and her dog would inherit her estate, not her two daughters. So the sisters were cleared and the real killer was nailed.
Code Black [22:00, Universal+1] looks like an attempt to reinvent ER [remember that? Dr. Green? Dr. Carter? Dr. Clooney? (I forget his series name)] There's a tedious bloke who goes round telling the newbies that he's their momma – not with that beard, you're not, mate. And a hissy back-stabber, who has it in for the doc who's unorthodox but successful. Not the sort of place you'd want to be when the wheels come off and there's a real Code Black. Too many egos and agendas in the way of keeping the customers alive.

Amy was about to quit the party boat for a recording career in Miami. The Commish is more interested in the rum buggers than murder.
   The backing singer becomes the main suspect. Not her, of course. Fidel goes old school with the bootleggers. Poole has a revelation. Amy had been hoping to blackmail a drug smuggler to buy her way out of her contract on the party boat. Not a wise career choice.

[Saturday, 31st] Sherlock Holmes: The Royal Scandal [19:00, True Entertainment] combines the scandal created by Irene Adler's liaison with a German prince with the stolen submarine plans, which saw a murdered Admiralty draughtsman dumped on the roof of a train.

She had just left Dr. Jeffer's house riding his bike. And the car reversed over the body to make sure.
   DCI Barnaby proves that he can't ride a bike. The university will lose a science lab,and the company's investors will lose billions, if Dr. Jeffers is right. DS Jones gets the hump because a lady who had her car paint-bombed didn't bother telling the police. Jeffers is bashed by a burglar. Jones thinks there's a copycat bucketeer.
   Someone sets off a sprinkler whilst Jeffers is doing a lecture. Another murder in a garage; not in mistake for Jeffers. Barnaby does some boy racer stuff to catch the bad guy; who was after Jeffers for his son's benefit. And the Bucket Bandit and the copycat are identified, and Barnaby lets them off. Disgusting.
