Yes, Mark Hamill is back in his second most iconic DC role in this week's The Flash. Will Syfy's Greek mythology show Olympus be cheesy fun or just plain terrible? Plus, Outlander's back from its honeymoon, Archer finishes up its season finale, and Steven Universe crosses over with Uncle Grandpa.

Olympus (10 PM, Syfy)

We have no idea if Syfy's Greek mythology show will be so-bad-it's-good or just plain bad. Given that the characters have names like "Hero" and "Oracle" and the whole thing looks like a green screen nightmare, our hopes are not too high.
