We’ve waited long enough! This week the new season of Continuum starts stateside, as Syfy premieres the show’s third season on Friday night. And on Sunday, Game of Thrones returns to HBO with a fourth season that promises to be truly epic.
Meanwhile ABC looks to be done with spin-off experiment Once Upon A Time In Wonderland: after lackluster ratings on Thursday nights, tonight’s final episode is being advertised as the “series finale.” So enjoy the final hour of Alice and her quest for a happily-ever-after with Cyrus.
