Sci-Fi This Week: Once Upon A Time‘s 2-Hour Special

Last week was a slow one for our favorite science fiction shows, what with many (mainly Tuesday shows) taking the week off due to the U.S. mid-term elections. The big exception to that was Doctor Who, which has wrapped up its pivotal eighth season with a bang.

This week shows are back, and leading the charge is a special 2-hour episode of Once Upon A Time. While Emma’s powers are out of control in Storybrooke, the Snow Queen goes to extreme lengths to try and pit Elsa and her sister Anna against one another.

Also this week: A military General rolls into town on The Flash, Gotham has a fight club, and Laurel’s new friend is the chief suspect in a murder investigation on Arrow. Clarke is betrayed on The 100, and on The Walking Dead members of the group put themselves on the line for a heroic rescue mission.
