While Elena struggled to control her new powers and the overwhelming thirst for blood, the astonishing news that a cure for vampirism may actually exist reached Damon and Stefan Salvatore, the two vampire brothers who love her. Their search for the cure leads the brothers, along with Elena's brother, Jeremy, and her best friends, Bonnie and Caroline, to a horrifying confrontation with the ancient and all-powerful immortal, Silas, who has been entombed with the cure for more than 2,000 years.

But Elena isn't the only vampire who longs to return to life as a human and the question of who will take the cure is resolved in the heart-stopping season finale, along with moments of unexpected joy, unspeakable sorrow and a confession of true love.

Stephen Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a “normal” teenager — until he began hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now, Stephen’s issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst, and he is beginning to question his sanity. In desperation, Stephen decides to listen to one of the voices in his head, and it leads him to his first encounter with the Tomorrow People — John, Cara and Russell — a genetically advanced race with the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication.

The Tomorrow People are being hunted down by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra. Led by Dr. Jedikiah Price, Ultra sees the Tomorrow People as a very real existential threat from a rival species, and the outcast group has been forced to hide out in an abandoned subway station just beneath the surface of the human world. Trading in secrets, Jedikiah offers Stephen the chance for a normal life with his family and best friend, Astrid, if he will help in the struggle to isolate and eradicate the Tomorrow People."

The Tomorrow People is a US revival of a British TV show from the 1970's; this new version stars Robbie Amell, Luke Mitchell, Peyton List, Aaron Yoo, Madeleine Mantock and Mark Pellegrino.

Paranormal Picks of the Week: Series Premieres of The Originals and Witches of East End


This week is when we start to see The CW roll out it's TV season including the new series The Originals which was picked up by CHCH (Thank you CHCH!). I would have loved to include The Vampire Diaries as a double bill night of vampire awesomeness with our pick of the week, but the Canadian airing on CTV Two doesn't happen until Sundays at 8pm.  If you happen to get The CW, you can watch them back to back. On a happier note, we will be getting Beauty and the Beast a day early, it's second season begins this Sunday Oct 6, 2013 on Showcase. 

It was too hard to choose which (or witch) show to be this weeks Paranormal Pick of the Week with this week so I decided to included both new series of The Originals and Witches of East End which we just recently found out will be airing on Lifetime Canada.  Have a blessed TV Week!


The Originals - Series Premiere
Thursday Oct 3, 2013 at 9pm on CHCH and The CW *

Here is a little bit about The Originals: "An offshoot of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals centers on the Mikaelson siblings, otherwise known as the world’s original vampires: Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt).

Also Awesome
  • Vampire Diaries Season 5 Premiere Sunday October 6, 2013 at 8pm on CTV Two (also airs Thursday Oct 3, 2013 at 8pm on The CW); it will be interesting to see how the show fairs in this timeslot 3 days after it's US airing and also how things go now that a portion of the cast will be on the spin off series The Originals.  I'm looking forward to some old school Vampire Diaries craziness myself.
  • Beauty and the Beast Season 2 Premiere Sunday October 6, 2013 at 8pm on Showcase (also airs Monday Oct 7, 2013 at 9pm on The CW).  This was definitely one of the happy surprizes of 2012 and I always looked forward to the show.  If you haven't watched it yet you can see the whole thing online over at Showcase.ca (or see my spoiler-free episode list here).
  • Arrow Season 1 Recap Wednesday October 2, 2013 at 8pm on CTV and The CW; although season 2 of Arrow doesn't start back up until next week we can all take a refresher course with this Season 1 recap episode.

Paranormal Pick of the Week: The Almighty Johnsons Finale and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Premiere


We are heading into major premiere territory as the fall premieres are in full force, and although Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is one that everyone is waiting for I have to also honour the shows that are summing up, including one of our faves: The Almighty Johnsons which has it's Season 3 Finale this week.  Who can play favourites between superheroes and Gods?  I'd be happy to watch them battle it out, but for now they both get to be our  Paranormal Pick of the Week:


The Almighty Johnsons ~ Season 3 Finale
Thursday September 26, 2013 at 9pm on Space

It's been one heck of a season for The Almighty Johnsons, I am always so impressed that the show keeps us entertained with so much humour and so much heart.  I don't have a clue how they will wrap everything up, but they often surpass expectations on finales so I have a feeling it will be a big one.  This season it's been airing in tandem with the New Zealand airings, which has been such a treat to be so up to date.  I really hope we get more of this awesome show.


Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ~ Series Premiere
Tuesday September 24, 2013 at 8pm on CTV

 Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is definitely one of, if not the, most anticipated new series this fall.  Getting an actual team of superheroes show on TV is so exciting that it's almost hard to even stand waiting.  I'm really cheering for it to be awesome, and if the trailer is any indication I think we are in for one wild ride.  And given that the team deals with the 'unknown' it qualifies as a paranormal show!

Also Awesome:
  • Fangasm Series Premiere Tuesday September 24, 2013 at 10pm ET on Space; I'm still not quite sure what this show is going to be like.  It looks like a reality competition show but not sure how it works.  I guess we'll see on Tuesday!
  • Once Upon A Time Season 3 Premiere Sunday September 29, 2013 at 7pm on CTV
  • Revolution Season 2 Premiere Wednesday September 25, 2013 at 8pm ET/PT on CityTV

I've kept the story of this one under wraps a bit, but if you want to know more here is a series description: "This thrilling new action-adventure drama is a modern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic tale. Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison, Parade's End) is resurrected and pulled two-and-a-half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction, and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie, 42) to unravel a mystery which dates all the way back to the founding fathers."

  • The Neighbors Season 2 Premiere Friday Sept 20, 2013 at 8:30 on CTV; We were late adopters to this aliens-among-us science fiction comedy series, but totally loved it once we jumped aboard. The Series 1 finale is at 8pm in case you need to catch up a bit.
  • Under the Dome Season 1 Finale Monday Sept 16, 2013 at 10pm on Global; We didn't talk of follow this series too much but it certainly has a lot of viewers, so it only seemed fair to share the upcoming finale.
  • Doctor Who Sundays on Space continue with Sunday Sept 22, 2013 staring at 10am. This week it's time to bridge Season 2 and 3 with the following: "Wrap up season 2 of DOCTOR WHO with Episodes 7 to 13. Then, get in the Christmas spirit with the DOCTOR WHO special THE RUNAWAY BRIDE, followed by the first two episodes of season 3."
  • Heroes of Cosplay Finale Tuesday Sept 17, 2013 at 10pm on Space; Boy did they leave use hanging last week! I had no idea it was going to be a 2-parter but that makes it all the more exciting to get to see how this shows sums up. If you've yet to check out the series you can watch the whole thing marathon style Sunday Sept 22, 2013 on Space starting at 11:30pm.

The Originals to Air on CHCH


I had been scouring the Canadian broadcast schedules for months looking for where The Vampire Diaries spin-off The Originals would be airing. Finally it's popped up on a schedule and we can now share that The Originals will be airing on CHCH.

Here is a little be more about The Originals: "An offshoot of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals centers on the Mikaelson siblings, otherwise known as the world’s original vampires: Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt).

The Original Vampire family pledge to remain together, but now their bonds of family are broken and Klaus reacts to an anonymous tip that someone is plotting against the family in the place they helped build, New Orleans."

The Originals will premiere on CHCH on Thursday October 3, 2013 at 8pm and then find it's new home on Tuesday nights starting Tuesday October 8, 2013. This puts the shows Canadian airings on CHCH in close alignment with it's home broadcaster of The CW.

I'm so relieved we will be getting The Originals here in Canada. I was initially skeptical of this show and the idea of a back-door pilot during Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries, but after seeing that episode it looks like it's going to be awesome. Thank you CHCH!
