Paranormal Pick of the Week: Alphas Season 2 Finale

Image from Alphas: Episode 12 Need to Know

We have a lot of finales this week and I did find it a bit hard to choose considering last weeks Alphas was so brutal, but I hope they finale with (or actually, preferable without) a bang. This science fiction summer series has been quite a treat the last two years, and I hope we are in for more next year as well. Either way, this weeks Paranormal Pick of the Week is:

Alphas Season 2 Finale
Monday October 22, 2012 at 10pm ET on Space

UPDATE: 
As the Finale didn't air at the timeslot due to a technical error, it will be broadcasted Wed Oct 24, 2012 at 9pm ET/6pm PT as well as being available online. See more details here.

Will it all come together? Will it all fall apart? Either way it feels like there is no going back as these humans with very specific abilities beyond the range of normal human capabilities go deeper and darker into destruction. How will it all go down? Tonight we will find out!

Also Awesome:

• Paranormal Witness Season Finale - Wednesday October 24, 2012 on Space I've been a bit hot and cold with Paranormal Witness, but this second season has had some excellent episodes including the formidable "The Abduction" and clever "The Cabin"; I'm very curious to see what tale will be told as they send this season off
• Hot Set Season 1 Finale - Tuesday October 23, 2012 on Space This reality competition show that pits set designers head to head comes to a close this week and it's been a really fun ride. It's wild to see the contestants create a fully functional and filmable set each and ever week, and I'm very much looking forward tot he finale.
• Primeval Marathons continue on Space and complete with the airing of Season 5 on Sunday October 28, 2012 on Space. It's the final week of marathons for Primeval and I've been enjoying them each and every week! I can't wait for the beginning of the new series next week!
• Halloween, Halloween 4 & Halloween 5 on AMC Canada If you haven't seen these three installments of the Halloween series now is your chance as AMC is playing this week at multiple times. First viewings are Monday October 22, 2012 evening for Halloween & Halloween 4 and then Tuesday October 23, 2012 evening for Halloween 5. I have no idea if I've seen 4 & 5 myself, so I may very well be checking these out! Check AMC Canada listings here.

Also Awesome:

• Primeval Season 4 Marathon: Sunday October 21, 2012 from 11am - 6pm EST on Space; I've been loving catching up with the series marathon style and am eagerly awaiting more dinosaur & anomaly goodness.  
• Spooky Movies on TCM Canada Wednesday October 17, 2012 - TCM is airing scary movies all evening and all through the night with Horror of Dracula, the Curse of Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Gorgon, The Devil's Bride and The Plague of Zombies.  That's a lot of monsters (and their families...) see schedule here.
• American Horror Story Season 2 / Asylum beings on FX Canada on Wednesday October 17, 2012.  We tried this one out in Season 1 and didn't take to it, but I'm happy to see it is again available here in Canada on FX Canada although I still can't tell what it's being branded under 2 titles of Asylum and also American Horror Story.  It's a mystery - which seems to be quite fitting for the show.

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Supernatural S8 Premiere & The Almighty Johnsons S1 Finale

Episode 10 Like Jesus, Only Cooler Premieres Monday, October 1 at 9 p.m. ET

We are at that busy time of both endings and beginnings, and with 2 awesome shows starting and finishing it's a double does of fun for the picks for this weeks Paranormal Pick(s) of the Week:

The Almighty Johnsons Season 1 Finale
Monday October 1, 2012 at 9pm EST on Space

I could not be more surprized at how taken I was by The Almighty Johnsons in Season 1.  The New Zealand set show features Nordic gods & goddess in everyday life with a great re-interpretation of myths yet keeps the epic scale and prophecy vibe to boot.  And how can resist the great sense of humour and a amazing cast?  Not me!  Who knew Axl, Mike, Ty and Olaf would win us over?  Sorry Anders - you still have to prove yourself!  All that and goddesses that kick butt too. I will anxiously await to see how Season 1 wraps up and hope that Space will air Season 2 soon to not leave us hanging. I will miss this amazing show from the Monday night line up, what a gem!



Supernatural Season 8 Premiere
Wednesday October 3, 2012 at 9pm EST on CHCH
Also repeats on Sundays at 8pm EST on Space

Supernatural is one of tried and true stand by shows, which Suzie & I have discussed from the very first episode of Hexed back in February 2010 therefore it's always on our radar. What trouble will the boys get into this season? Or out of? Or both (multiple times)? A series spanning into 8 seasons is a rare thing these days, and I hope they have some goodies tucked up their sleeves for us. I'm also thrilled they changed this to Wednesday night, and that CHCH is airing them concurrently with the CW airings in the States. Thank you!

Also Awesome:

• Bedlam Season 2 Premiere on Space - Saturday October 6, 2012 at 8pm EST; back to the asylum, er... flats! We chatted about Bedlam on and off during it's airing last summer, and this British haunted-house style show was quite interesting with innovative storytelling and ghostly vibe. I'll be very curious to see what they do with Season 2.
• Primeval Marathons Begin - Sundays all throughout October Space is airing Primeval marathons, starting this off with Season 1 & 2 on Sunday October 7, 2012. Season 1 starts bright & early at 6am EST and Season 2 starts at 12noon EST. I'm looking forward to checking out this show from the very beginning.

Primeval Marathons on Space

I'm so thrilled to share that Space will be airing Primeval marathons on Sundays all throughout October. I've only caught an episode of the show here & there enough to tell that it looks like fun and that there are dinosaurs, but not having it quite on my radar but with the upcoming Primeval: New World I very much wanted to visit the original series. As luck would have it, all Space watchers can join in the fun and see Primeval from the very beginning.

Here is the Primeval marathon schedule, not that S1 & S2 air on the same day after which is a season a week.

Primeval Season 1 Marathon:
Sunday October 7, 2012 from 6am - 12noon EST on Space

Primeval Season 2 Marathon:
Sunday October 7, 2012 from 12noon - 7pm EST on Space
