OCTOPPROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS Warner TV (unifi TV Ch 613 & Astro Ch 719)

NEW SEASONS

BLINDSPOT S4 SAME DAY AS THE U.S SEASON PREMIERES OCT 13, SATURDAYS 8.10PM As Weller and his teammates at the FBI -- among them, wartime vet Edgar Reed, the secretive Tasha Zapata and Assistant Director Mayfair (Jean-Baptiste) -- begin to investigate the veritable treasure map that are Jane Doe's tattoos, they are drawn into a high-stakes underworld that twists and turns through a labyrinth of secrets and revelations -- the information they uncover might ultimately change the world. At the center of this mystery is the relationship between Weller and Jane Doe. With every passing day, Jane unveils a new skill or a hidden talent without understanding its origin, while Weller is drawn deeper into his troubled, complicated relationship with this enigmatic woman. They both strive to make a connection, unaware of the dangerous blindspot that threatens them.

ARROW S7 SAME DAY AS THE U.S SEASON PREMIERES OCT 16, TUESDAYS 9.50PM After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), former protégé Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy). Oliver will find himself vulnerable in a way unlike ever before when a mysterious new enemy begins to unravel his work as Green Arrow, forcing him to redeem his name or risk losing everything.

DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW S4 SAME DAY AS THE U.S SEASON PREMIERES OCT 23, TUESDAYS 9PM After defeating the demon Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends are ready to ease off the gas. Sara (Caity Lotz) and her team join Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Time Bureau to help clean up the last few remaining anachronisms. The job seems straightforward enough until Constantine (Matt Ryan) arrives to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. As the Time Bureau is distrustful of and ill-equipped to deal with magic, the Legends must team up with everyone’s favorite demonologist to set history back on track. Sara and Constantine are joined by compassionate inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), hotheaded ex-con Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), rebellious totem-bearer Zari (Tala Ashe), and heartbroken historian-turned-superhero Nate (Nick Zano) as they set out to save the world – and their legacy. It’s the familiar fun of the Legends time-travelling across historical events and encountering famous figures with an added shot of magical craziness!

CONTINUING SERIES

THE BIG BANG THEORY S12 SAME DAY AS THE U.S FRIDAYS 8.10PM Despite their on-again, off-again relationship in the past, Leonard and Penny have finally gotten married. Even Sheldon has found a female companion – entering into a “Relationship Agreement” with neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), and he recently took their relationship to the next level by proposing marriage.  In their free time, Leonard and Sheldon enjoy fantasy role-playing games with their ever-expanding universe of friends, including fellow scientists Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Howard’s adorable microbiologist wife, Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), who is now adjusting to life with their two new children.

YOUNG SHELDON S2 SAME DAY AS THE U.S FRIDAYS 8.35PM For 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper it isn't easy growing up in East Texas.  Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn't always helpful in a land where church and football are king.  And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him.  For 10 years on The Big Bang Theory, audiences have come to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. This single-camera, half-hour comedy gives us the chance to meet him in childhood, as he embarks on his innocent, awkward and hopeful journey toward the man he will become.

LETHAL WEAPON S3 SAME DAY AS THE U.S WEDNESDAYS 9PM LETHAL WEAPON combines action and drama with humor as Detective Roger Murtaugh (DAMON WAYANS) is joined in season three by SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT (American Pie films), who plays a new character that folds into a partnership with Murtaugh. As always, Murtaugh is also navigating some challenging times at home, alongside his wife, Trish (KEESHA SHARP) and kids, Riana (CHANDLER KINNEY) and RJ (DANTE BROWN), while working a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles with Captain Brooks Avery (KEVIN RAHM), fellow detective Sonya Bailey (MICHELLE MITCHENOR), police psychiatrist, Dr. Maureen Cahill (JORDANA BREWSTER) and CSI tech/filmmaker Scorsese (JOHNATHAN FERNANDEZ).

THE LAST SHIP S5 SAME DAY AS THE U.S MONDAYS 9PM This season, the world is finally recovering from the deadly virus that devastated the population, but global political unrest remains. Tom Chandler (Dane) has retired and his former crew has scattered, many having risen in the ranks within the Navy. Sasha Cooper (Regan), Lieutenant Danny Green (Travis Van Winkle), SBS WO-N Wolf Taylor (Bren Foster) and Sergeant Azima Kandie (Jodie Turner Smith) are on a covert mission in Panama. When they are wrongly blamed for an attack on the Panamanian president, the consequences for the United States are dire. The Nathan James must fight to prevent invasion by Latin America — and the next world war. Season five is The Last Ship at its most epic, upping the ante on action and excitement, but at its core, it underscores the costs of prolonged war and the toll it takes on the heroes who fight it.

SUPERGIRL S3 TUESDAYS 9.00PM SEASON FINALE OCT 9, TUESDAY 9PM When she was 12 years old, Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton and was sent to Earth where she was protected and raised by her foster parents, Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers (guest stars Dean Cain and Helen Slater). Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin, Superman (guest star Tyler Hoechlin) in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later, Kara was living a “normal” life in National City, assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (special guest star Calista Flockhart) and working with her famous friend, photographer James Olsen (Brooks), who Grant hired away from Metropolis’s Daily Planet. When Alex’s life was threatened in a plane crash, Kara took to the sky to rescue her. In the aftermath, Kara decided she could no longer sit on the sidelines and came out as Supergirl. She now balances her job as a reporter at CatCo Worldwide Media with her work at the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government agency run by J’onn J’onzz/the Martian Manhunter (Harewood), where Alex also works, as does Kara’s good friend Winn Schott (Jordan). In Season Three, Kara is grappling with the sacrifices she’s made and deciding if she should give up her human identity altogether.  Being human and vulnerable is hard.  Maybe she’s better off embracing her alien DNA and only being the “Girl of Steel.” As Kara struggles with her path forward, she continues to work with the DEO to battle all threats to National City, including new villains, Morgan Edge (Adrian Pasdar), and the “Worldkiller,” known as Reign (new series regular Odette Annable).
