Watched the first episode tonight. It looks like it should be a good show, very interesting concept. I can't get over how much Grace Gummer looks like her mom,
and Goran Visnjic is still HOT! like he was in ER.
 
If you missed it, CBS will re-air the pilot episode TONIGHT (Thursday, July 10th), starting at 10pm ET/9pm CT. So, that means no repeat of Elementary.

CSI: NY alumna Melina Kanakaredes is returning to her old CBS stomping grounds with a Season 2 arc on Extant, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Dorothy reappears when her ex’s involvement with astronaut Molly (Berry) puts their daughter in danger.

Extant‘s revamped second season — which bows Wednesday, July 1 at 10/9c — finds Molly discovering that she has unwittingly put the human race on a path to destruction, and that she and a mysterious stranger (Morgan’s JD) may be the only hope for survival.
