Prime Picks

Nikita (The CW): New. Nikita and Michael find out that a former terrorist is now on the Division payroll. Alex sets out to kill a man that used to work for her father.

Fringe (FOX): New. Two 12-year-olds are found in an advanced state of decomposition just hours after having bullied a boy. Walter is having more and more trouble concentrating.

Blue Bloods (CBS): New. Danny finds something out about the past of an attempted bank robber. Jaime gets a new partner.

Solid Selections

Modern Family (ABC): Repeat. This past Wednesday’s episode, “Door to Door,” replays.
Suburgatory (ABC): Repeat. This past Wednesday’s episode, “The Barbecue,” replays.

Revenge (ABC): Repeat. This past Wednesday’s episode, “Betrayal,” replays.

Sanctuary (Syfy): Season Premiere. Magnus follows someone back in time to keep him from substantially altering the timeline. Plays again later. Solid episode and I’m all for shows changing and growing over time, but this show has expanded so far that it is almost unrecognizable from what it was in the first season.

Other Options

• Strike Back (Cinemax): New. Scott and Stonebridge along with the other hostages find themselves in a difficult position after being double-crossed. Plays again later. The show has been picked up for a second season.
• Supernatural (The CW): New. Dean isn’t too happy when Sam takes off to investigate a case on his own that is similar in clues to a mystery he came across as a child.
