Sci-Fi This Week: Cole Is Trapped In The Present On 12 Monkeys

Syfy Channel’s time-traveling 12 Monkeys is back for its second season!

It’s a time-traveler’s dilemma in this week’s new episode, as Cole finds himself stranded in our present day — the year 2016 — after an attempt to destroy the world-ending virus ends up changing the future and evidently eliminating the program that sent him back.

Also this week: Team Arrow grieves the loss of one of their own, while on The Flash Barry is forced to deal with ordinary life without his powers. Emma and Hook journey to the depths of the Underworld on a new Once Upon a Time, and Game of Thrones continues its brand new season as Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) — not seen since the end of Season Four! — trains with the Three-Eyed Raven for the dark road ahead.
