I hope you are all staying healthy. If you find yourself quarantined or off work or trapped at home with your offspring while schools are closed, at least there is plenty of shows this week. While you are Disinfecting for Corona, Batwoman will be exploring Alice’s story, Supergirl defends transgender rights, The Flash get some sunshine, and the Legends deal with marriage. Blacklist also returns with a doubleheader to kick off the second half of their season, while Better Call Saul kicks Mike out of town. If your kids are off of school, you might find yourself watching a lot more of their television, like how my daughter has added the Glee-like Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist to our rotation. Since it borders on telepathy/empathy/ESP, I was going to include it here to see if anyone else was interested in it. If you want to keep their brains from atrophying, Neil deGrasse Tyson has you covered with another double helping of Cosmos, to go with your first half of the Picard series finale. If Picard doesn’t give you enough Artificial Intelligence discussions, Westworld returns this week to help you explore the nature of sentience further.

Bureau’s Breakroom’s Television Table – Week beginning 2020 March 22
March 22, 2020 by `Lex Pendragon Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, Star Trek, Superman/Smallville, TV Series 2 Comments
With the Bureau’s physical offices closed down due to the quarantine, we hope that all of you Bureaucrats are staying healthy. To help you shelter in place, the Breakroom television remains tuned in to avoid the the Disastrous Consequences of cabin fever. Watch as our characters all take trips, starting as Batwoman decides to travel through the looking glass, while on Supergirl, Alex finds herself in Wonderland, and the Legends split up to let Zari take center stage. Our only other superhero this week ends his season as Picard deals with the impending arrival of god-like AI-aliens. (AIliens?) If god-like artificial intelligences are too OP for you, feel free to scale it back with this week’s Westworld as the AI robots infiltrate the outside world. If you need even more science, but less fiction, Cosmos gives us two more episodes examining consciousness’s evolution and Carl Sagan’s personal evolution. The last tenuous link to science fiction we have this week is Zoey, who confesses to Max. Saul manages to avoid being stopped by Kim and Jimmy, The Good Doctor starts its season finale with an earth shaking first part, and
UltronSpaderRed takes an island vacation to enjoy some art on The Blacklist.[All synopses (and titles) from Trakt.tv below the cut, except when there really aren’t any. (If a show’s synopsis is a spoiler to you, do not click More…)]
