Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, February 11, 2013

There’s a whole lot of good TV on tonight, but what’s really intriguing me is 90210’s use of a hashtag in their title for tonight’s hour. Apparently this is a thing now!

Take a look at all of your options for tonight’s shows…

Bones | 8pm on Fox
“The Shot in the Dark”
When Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is shot while working late at the Jeffersonian lab, she is rushed to the hospital in critical condition. While at the hospital, she struggles with visions of her mother that defy her usual logic. Meanwhile all evidence suggests that Brennan’s attacker may be linked to the Jeffersonian. [And we have photos, teases, and Emily Deschanel previewing what’s to come!]

Mouse (Ellen Wong) is excited about getting back together with Seth (guest star Kyle Harris), but her worries about being bad at sex drive her to ask Walt (Brendan Dooling) for help. In order to hang on to a favorite spot at the diner, Maggie (Katie Findlay) takes on Donna LaDonna (Chloe Bridges) and her friends. Meanwhile, Tom (Matt Letscher) loses his wedding ring, which makes him realize that Harlan (guest star Scott Cohen) might be right about starting to date again.

The Bachelor | 8pm on ABC
“Episode 1707”
The pressure mounts as the crucial hometown dates loom, but before returning stateside, Sean takes the remaining six bachelorettes to romantic St. Croix. AshLee not only risks revealing a secret about her past, but also decides to go on the attack when it comes to Tierra. Tierra, feeling anxious about her relationship with Sean and how the drama with the other women will influence his decision, desperately discloses something that will shock him. Lesley’s individual date has her re-thinking her strategy. Sean, confused over whom he should send home, invites his sister to St. Croix to help him sort through his feelings. A huge drama erupts at the hotel and Sean knows what he must do, dropping two bombshells and leaving the four women who will take him home to meet his families.

The Biggest Loser | 8pm on NBC
“Tough Love”
It’s halfway through the competition, and the remaining eight players go to singles this week. The contestants face their first temptation in honor of Valentine’s Day, featuring favorite Valentine’s Day treats and the promise of the winner getting a weigh-in-advantage for themselves and a friend. Meanwhile, the trainers continue to motivate the kid participants to stay active and work toward their goals at home. Jillian arranges for Sunny to take a Bollywood dance class, Dolvett motivates Lindsay to attend a cheerleading practice, and Biingo anxiously waits for news from the doctor about whether he’ll be able to start practicing for the youth baseball league tryouts that Bob set up for him. Back at the ranch, one player displays an amazing act of kindness, and another has an emotional, heart to heart talk with a trainer about the circumstances leading to his weight gain. Later, a racing challenge leads to two players winning heartwarming reunions with loved ones, and in this week’s Challenge America segment, Season 11 winner Olivia Ward and her husband share a healthy way that couples can celebrate Valentine’s Day. And finally, the elimination following the weigh-in forces one contestant to make their most difficult choice yet at the ranch.

ONCE UPON A TIME: Colin O’Donoghue and Edward Kitsis on the Appeal of Hook

ONCE UPON A TIME has introduced a whole batch of new characters since the show premiered in 2011, but few have prompted quite the reaction that Colin O’Donoghue’s Hook has.

“I’ve been on Twitter a lot and I knew they teased the character [at Comic-Con],” Donoghue told reporters on the Vancouver set late last year. “So that was a thing I was very aware of when my first episode was coming out, because obviously I knew there was an expectation there. I hope the fans aren’t disappointed with Hook and the way he’s been portrayed.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Campbell will play Davina, whose “innocence about the way the world works makes her equal parts wondrous and dangerous. She’s delicate and ethereal but not without her own demons.”
