SciFi TV Rewatch

Though we learn a lot about Alec's background and the mission that significantly impacted his post-Manticore life, we also become more aware of Joshua's continuing development as an artist and a member of Max's extended family. Will Max change her opinion of Alec now that she knows the truth about the horrors those she left behind were forced to endure? Guest star Meghan Ory appears as Alec's piano student and ends up as his first, and perhaps only, love. And you just have to love Joshua throwing his first ever dinner party replete with macaroni and cheese and hot dogs.

November 20th finally arrived and with it the 13 episode first season of Marvel's Jessica Jones starring Krysten Ritter in the title role. We're introduced to a broken former superhero now earning a living as a hard-boiled detective taking the jobs that no one else wants or can see through to the end. But she has a dark past, and the man who nearly broke her, who she also believes is dead, has returned and imposed his will on another young woman. Though we don't get to see much of David Tennant's Kilgrave in the first episode, just seeing the effect he has on Jessica is enough to send chills up and down your spine.

Another X-5 turns up in Seattle, but Brain not at all like those we've met up to this point. Designed to predict battle events and how individual soldiers will react to specific battlefield situations, Brain has had his eye on Max since they were children. Continuum's Terry Chen turns up as a member of the oft times ineffectual rebel group S1W, and Max once again saves Asha.

Dave talks about the benefits of the Internet staple IMDB and the inherent problems with rebooting classic science fiction television shows that died before their time. And what's wrong with Supergirl's outfit?

Wayne tries to dissuade Dave from giving up on The Leftovers before they launch into their Dark Angel discussion. While searching for a pencil for Max, Joshua inadvertently discovers his artistic side which enables Alec to turn a quick buck selling his emotionally charged paintings. However, the introduction of a second genetic engineering group sets us on a journey to discover the history of this nearly ten thousand year old experiment.

Wayne brings together the disparate forces that are zombie television and ice hockey film. Quick takes on iZombie, Z Nation, The Walking Dead, and Fear the Walking Dead let us into Wayne's world (see what I did there) of horror television. He presents his Top 5 Hockey Movie list, but are you kidding me, no Youngblood?

When fisherman dredge up the body of what appears to be a mermaid, they're stunned to see she's still alive. Of course, it turns out to be another member of the Manticore transgenic family on the run after the fire. Max and Alec come to the rescue but not before Logan has a scare they think is related to the virus Max has implanted in her.

After having his organs harvested, (Max has his heart), Zach resurfaces as part of a Steelhead gang intent on siphoning off the nanocytes designed to repair damage to his body. Only a shell of himself, Zach slowly begins making connections as the memories he's able to access begin to make sense. In the end, though, Logan arranges for him to recuperate far from Max. Check out Continuum creator/showrunner Simon Barry's new production company Reality Distortion Field.  Lego Movie team works on new time travel show.

In the 2005 film Malcolm Reynolds and the crew try to carry out simple payroll heist, but the Alliance continues to pursue River Tam and disrupts their latest payday. The Operative needs to bring River in dead or alive to prevent her from revealing information she obtained regarding a hidden planet called Miranda.

We just want to touch base with you guys to let you know why there's no new show this week, and to keep you up to date regarding where we're headed. The Leftovers season 2 premiere; wow. Damon Lindelof's fingerprints all over it.
