Last Night's TV: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Limitless, and More (SPOILERS!)

VIEW IN BROWSER THIS ISSUE: World Series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Flash, Limitless, Fresh Off the Boat TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT Sports... Hey, They're on TV Too! FOX BECAUSE: Well, if you're going to lose power while broadcasting a baseball game, at least Game 1 of the World Series isn't that big of a deal. No, wait -- that's wrong -- Game 1 of the World Series is a huge deal! On Tuesday night as the New York Mets played the Kansas City Royals, Fox Sports lost power in what they deemed a "rare electronics failure" for about 10 minutes during the fourth inning. If we dabbled in the business of baseball puns, we might call this an error... but we totally don't. (For the record, in case you'd already switched to Gilmore Girls episodes on Netflix before the longest Game 1 in history ended, the Royals won, 5-4.) READ OUR RECAP Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ABC WHAT HAPPENED: When in doubt, FitzSimmons it out. But this special episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. was much more than just a shipper's wish fulfillment hour; this was the story of what happened to Jemma Simmons on that alien planet, and it was only her story to tell, in a flashback that spanned nearly the entire episode. As Simmons explored the planet, desperately searching for food, proving herself resourceful and tough as hell, and even finding another person -- a man, Will, and yeah, it was kinda like that -- she always held out hope that she would be seeing Fitz again. As recapper Andrea Towers said of the cinematic hour, "Simmons may be on a different planet, miles away from the entire world, but Fitz is tethering her to Earth -- that's not love so much as it is being the most important part of someone." And eventually they did make it back to each other. That she wants him to help her get her other boyfriend, who's still stuck on the planet, back is pish-posh for these two. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: More or less, people are losing their minds. Fans loves the focus on Simmons and are standing in awe of Elizabeth Henstridge's performance ("You're dead, biatch!"). The A.V. Club called the risky bottle episode "a high point of the series," and given the quality of the episode and Henstridge's performance, wishes that perhaps "every member of the cast could get teleported away for a terrifying extraterrestrial experience." Short of that, we'll settle for knowing what to expect out of this whole "Will" situation, and he better not be the Edward to Fitz's forever-BFF Jacob. Fear not! Henstridge tells Yahoo TV that, "Even when [Simmons] and Will were romantically involved... as soon as she saw that flare at the end, her mind immediately went to Fitz. He's deep down in her bones." That's right -- just keep running toward the flare, Jemma. READ OUR RECAP The Flash The CW WHAT HAPPENED: Diiiiiid The Flash just go full Sharknado? We'll get there. First: Everybody remember Ronnie? Handsome, heroic, tragically sucked up into a vortex, never to be seen again? Well, Dr. Stein's health is deteriorating without Ronnie around to be the other half of Firestorm, so Caitlin is searching for matches. Enter the good -- Jefferson "Jax" Jackson, deemed "the Jason Street of Central City" by EW recapper Jonathon Dornbush -- and the bad -- Henry Hewitt, who goes on a fiery rampage when he isn't a Firestorm match. Luckily, Caitlin and Jax mostly handle that ordeal because Barry is busy figuring out his crush on Patty... oh, and helping her handle the shark that's been walking around on two feet in Central City that's probably King Shark, and probably from Earth-2 given his mention of Zoom; also given that they're aided in taking him down by none other than Earth-2 Harrison Wells. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The world of Earth-2 is growing and that can only mean one thing: Theories. Danielle Panabaker, a.k.a. Barry's bestie, Caitlin Snow, stopped by The Talk last week to debut some very interesting images: herself, all dressed up in leather and platinum locks as Killer Frost. Since a wormhole glimpse in season 1, fans of both the show and the comics have been theorizing that Caitlin would eventually transform into Killer Frost. But with familiar faces beginning to pop up from Earth-2, the mind doesn't have to wander far to imagine Caitlin's frosty turn being revealed as a villainous Earth-2 doppelgänger. Either way, bring on the leather! (Okay, and we'd also be cool with more sharks.) READ OUR RECAP Limitless CBS WHAT HAPPENED: Limitless may not be Big Bang-level huge, but that doesn't mean franchise patriarch Bradley Cooper is giving up on it. The inoculation that Senator Edward Morra (Cooper) gave Brian in the pilot is starting to wear off and the side effects of the NZT are beginning to kick in -- please contact your doctor if you think bugs are crawling under your skin. Sands won't give him another cure shot until he "gets rid of Rebecca" since he and Morra think she knows too much, a situation that EW recapper Devan Coggan says, "makes last week's dilemma seem as innocuous as deciding where to go to dinner." But -- TWIST -- after Brian spends his remaining energy trying to figure out what happened to Rebecca's father rather than figuring out ways to kill and/or frame her, he blacks out only to wake up on a roof with Coops himself: "I just needed to know what your limits are." Turns out, Morra was just checking up on Brian's morality because he wants them to do big things together (with rice, we think?). Mmmmm-hmmmm, we've all heard that one before, Blue Eyes. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: CBS must want Morra, and more Limitless too, because the series has been picked up for the back nine episodes of its first season, meaning fans will be getting all 22, as reported by CinemaBlend. So, now the question is, how many more nifty clear pills can Brian stuff down his gullet in nine extra episodes, and how much trouble will it get him into? (But real talk: When do we get more Coops?) READ OUR RECAP One More Thing... We Pity the Fool Who Doesn't Watch Fresh Off the Boat ABC WELL, CLARICE: It's the Huangs' first Halloween in Orlando and Louis is excited to experience "the one thing white people do better than us ... begging for candy in disguise to hide [their] shame." What should you be excited about? The perfectly '90s costumes, which include his-and-hers Mr. T, Eddy as Humpty Hump (duh), and the absolute best: sweet, baby Evan as Hannibal Lecter.
