Sci-Fi This Week: Believe Premieres, Lady Sif Comes To S.H.I.E.L.D.

Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.

Tonight on NBC it’s the premiere of Believe, the new supernatural drama from Alfonso Cuarón and J.J. Abrams. We’ve been looking forward to seeing this one for some time now — watch the pilot and then come back here to tell us what you thought!

If you caught the final scene of last week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. then you’ve already met this week’s bad girl: the Asgardian seductress Lorelei. This week Lady Sif, the warrior from Thor’s band of friends, visits Earth on the hunt for her.

On The CW Supernatural, Arrow, The Tomorrow People, and The Vampire Diaries all have the week off.
