Hey ATA Listeners, for years man has feared the rise of the machines as in Skynet overrunning the world with Terminators, Cylons trying to extinguish humanity and the Sentinels from X-Men creating a post-apocalyptic future. Well, on this week of television, the machines rising against us almost became a reality as the weaselly Greg used machinery to torture the key to destroying Storybrook out of Regina on Once upon a Time, Castle had a mystery where a robotic military drone murdered an innocent man, Supernatural showed Crowley is a reading machine as he used Chuck's novels to start hunting everyone the Winchesters have ever saved, Psych forced Shawn and Gus to hide a major screwup from a machine of a security guard who was too good for his job, Person of Interest's season finale evolved the machine into an advanced version of the iPhone's and Doctor Who dealt with the return of the villains who originated man's fear of machines the Cybermen! On top of that, the sitcoms even had to face the machines rising against us as Modern Family had Cam take on a punching bag machine, Community pitted Jeff against his doppelgänger who had a Luke Skywalker style robotic arm and The Big Bang Theory showed us that Sheldon and Amy are not complete soulless machines when it comes to their relationship while throwing in some Howard as Nicholas Cage.
Then to wrap up this well oiled machine of a podcast Nico delivers some big renewal/cancellation news on our favorite CBS, NBC and USA shows we cover here on ATA along with a Airwaves Rundown Section where we review How I Met Your Mother, Revolution, Defiance, Warehouse 13, New Girl, the penultimate episode of Arrow, Elementary and much, much more.
