Sci-Fi This Week: Edward James Olmos Has His Own S.H.I.E.L.D.
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week
Commander Bill Adama himself is coming to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. … or, at least the actor who played the Battlestar Galactica legend.
Actor Edward James Olmos guest stars on this week’s new episode, playing Robert Gonzales — a character whose appearance is said to have major repercussions for Phil Coulson’s version of S.H.I.E.L.D. (If you caught the end of last week’s episode, you might have an idea what that means …) Has Coulson met his match?
Also this week: 12 Monkeys‘ Cole travels to the year 1987, where in Tokyo he encounters a younger version of Leland Goines (guest star Zeljko Ivanek). On The Flash Captain Cold and Heat Wave return to Central City, this time bringing along Snart’s sister (guest star Peyton List, The Tomorrow People). And Daryl experiences trouble while outside the town walls on The Walking Dead.
