Paranormal Pick of the Week: Under the Dome Series Premiere

Image Source

It's so exciting to have a new science fiction show to enjoy in the summer months, especially as we lost Alphas from the roster a little unceremoniously.  But don't fret, this week starts Under the Dome, which is based on a Stephen King novel that's the size of a small town! How could they fit it into 13 eps and a bubble?  One way to find out, and that mystery makes it this weeks Paranormal Pick of the Week:


Under the Dome ~ Series Premiere
Monday June 24, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT on Global

Here is a description of Under the Dome:"Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, Under the Dome is the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome."

Under the Dome is an American science fiction series based on the novel Under the Dome by Stephen King. The premiere season scheduled for 13 episodes and the cast includes Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Colin Ford, Natalie Martinez, Alexander Koch, Britt Robertson, Nicholas Strong, Jolene Purdy, Aisha Hinds and Dean Norris.

See more about at Under the Dome at GlobalTV.com.

• Cult ~ Remaining episodes begin Friday June 28, 2013 on The CW from 8pm - 10pm (2 hour block). Cult being cancelled was the biggest disappointment for me this year.  The crazy-meta references, great cast (Matt Davis and Robert Knepper totally rocked the house) and bizarre, rabbit-hole(s) story line always left me wanting more. I'm thrilled The CW will be airing the final episodes of the season.  **ADDITIONAL INFO: On the Canadian TV Schedule, the remaining episodes of Cult appear to be airing one at a time weekly on Sundays at 7pm ET on CTV2 starting June 30, 2013 (Added June 30, 2013).

Ep 106: Paranormal TV June 5 - 11, 2012

This week on Hexed is a SUPER special episode as we are actually recording in the same place for the first time ever since we've started the podcast! So exciting. I bet we talk faster. Maybe we didn't actually. Anyhow, it's an enthusiastic one.

We dive into the world of recent episodes of Teen Wolf, Continuum and a pretty freaking awesome Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files that has a special guest! We also chat briefly about the new Canadian medical/supernatural drama Saving Hope.

We are hoping to be back next week for more Teen Wolf, Continuum and Fact or Faked goodness, although their may be some logistics to work out so be sure to stop on by the site if you are missing up and need an update.

• Shannon mentions the Paranormal Pick of the Week which is a post that goes up on Mondays, although we didn't have one this week!

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Teen Wolf Season 2 Premiere with Back-to-Back Episodes on Much Music

It's June and with that comes time to WOLF OUT, making the Paranormal Pick of the Week a howling good time:

Teen Wolf Season 2 Premiere
Monday June 4, 2012 at 8PM - 10PM ET on Much Music
First 2 episodes of Season 2!

The season starts off with 2 back-to-back episodes, so make sure to lock your eyes on screen (or program DVRs, etc) for 2 hours of Teen Wolf Goodness.

It's a little odd that it still says premiere, when it was also on last night (Sunday June 3, 2012) with a season-one reminder run down which was really cool. I wish they had it online at the site, but no luck finding it there so far for me. But, you can always watch Season one online on Much Music, or read Hexed's Season One Run Downs (see list below or read just the finale one for all the end-of-season-one-ness here).

I really enjoy Teen Wolf and it's a fun summer show full of mayhem and mystery. I can't wait to chat through it with Suzie just like we did last year! If you want to re-live those moments, check out our archive below.

Also Awesome:
Saving Hope premieres on Thursday June 7, 2012 at 9pm ET on CTV here in Canada and will be show in tandem on NBC in the States. Although the strength of the paranormal connection on this one isn't clear quite just yet, it is classified as a supernatural and medical drama, so we do see that there are possibilities for this one. The Canadian series stars Erica Durance (Lois on Smallville), Michael Shanks (Stargate SG-1) and Daniel Gillies (Elijah on Vampire Diaries).

Here's the synopsis of the series premiere episode: "Charlie Harris, the charismatic Chief of Surgery of Toronto’s Hope-Zion Hospital, ends up in a coma, leaving the hospital in chaos – and his fiancée and fellow surgeon, Alex Reid, in a state of shock. Along with newly-arrived star surgeon, Joel Goran, Alex races to save Harris' life. As the action unfolds, comatose Dr. Harris explores the hospital halls in “spirit” form, not sure if he's a ghost or a figment of his own imagination. Reid, along with her fellow doctors, press on to save his life and those of their other patients, as they deal with the complicated and courageous decisions that are made in their daily struggle to keep hope alive."

Yep, I'm curious! See more about the Saving Hope at the CTV Website and Check them out on Twitter at @SavingHopeTV
