I know we have lots of Merlin fans out there, and and season 4 has warmed it's way into our hearts this winter and it's been a very exciting season. We've lead into the finale with one half of a 2-parter and now it all comes down to the final episode of the season:

Merlin Season 4 Finale
Saturday March 31, 2012 at 8pm EST on Space

I've been very impressed with the way the show feels so true to the Arthurian tales, but also brings smart surprizes along the way. I know I'll be watching to see how they wrap up Season 4!

Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files - Season 2C on Space starting April 25, 2012

Great news for Canadian Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files fans. Season 2C of Fact or Faked Paranormal Files is coming to Space starting Wednesday April 25, 2012! This means we are very closely aligned to the US air date as it returns to SyFy on Tuesday April 17, 2012. Although it's a week apart, it's a huge improvement over the months that we've had to wait in the past, and it means that the break in between 2B and 2C feels very short as we wound down with Season 2B back in mid-February.

I couldn't be happier! It will be so nice not to have to wait so long for new episodes, especially as Suzie & I have been fans of the show from the very first episode. I am curious that it's being called 2C though, as on Wikipedia it's called Season 3. But I'll take new episodes, regardless of what they are called!

Mark your paranormal calender for April 25, 2012 for the return of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files on Space! And a big thank you Space for bring us the next season of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files so quickly!

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Lost Girl Season 2 Finale

All the fae-fans know what will be THE hot ticket this week:

Lost Girl Season 2 Finale
Sunday April 1, 2012 at 9pm EST (plus pre-show at 8pm!)

There are certainly opportunities to get your fae on to enjoy the fae-nile, including season finale party at The Firkin on King for those in Toronto (with some pretty amazing guests expected including Paul Amos who plays Vex!) and of course there is the Lost Girl Finale Pre-Show which will air on Showcase at 8pm EST (1 hour pre-finale!). I'm stoked for the finale as this season has been a ton of fun and they've transitioned well from 13 episodes in Season 1 to a whooping 22 episodes in season 2; I just can't believe it's gone so fast.

Any new to Hexed Lost Girl fans, check out our archives of podcasts & posts discussing Lost Girl here. We've talked about *every* episode.

Also awesome this week:

• Merlin Season 4 Finale (Saturday March 31, 2012 at 8pm EST on Space) I've quite enjoyed this season on Merlin and am looking forward to seeing where they go (or end up) with this finale. Lots of magic kicking around, and that's a good thing!
• Game of Thrones Season 2 Premiere (Sunday April 1, 2012 at 9pm EST on HBO Canada) I still haven't watched Season 1 of Game of Thrones yet, and that's only because I haven't read the book(s) yet. I like to do things in that order, but given it's been a year and I haven't maybe I should just dive in. But then again, I don't actually *have* HBO Canada at the moment. I'll get to it... one day but I know the super-fans out there are going to be super-excited this week!

Billy Burke Joins The Cast of Revolution

Are you excited about the new J.J. Abrams & Erick Kripke show, Revolution? Need a memory jogger? We chatted about it on Ep 93 of Hexed with the slew of Paranormal-Inclined 2012 TV Pilots and this one is described as: "Follows a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist."

Someone who has joined that group of folks trying to survive is Billy Burke (source: TV Line) of Twilight & Drive Angry has joined the cast and I for one am very excited as I am a big fan. Suzie & I even talked about Revolution all the way back in September 2011 when the only info available was "NBC Orders 'Epic Adventure Thriller' From Supernatural Creator Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams" and when more info was released we took a pretty ethereal interpretation on the description (like people appear as spirits or energy), but it appears that it's more like there just isn't any fuel. Ha. So, that makes it have a possible survivalist, disaster and/or post-apocalyptic feel. We'll keep following it an see how it continues to unfold.

If you are a fan of Billy Burke (& general Twi-ness), I've also chatted about this casting news over at Before the Dawn were we keep tabs on the Twi-ness including what the actors are up to. Isn't in great when the awesome overlaps?

Pick of the Week: Outcasts Marathon

Image from Outcasts Series Premiere

This week was a bit of a challenge for what to pick of the week, which can happen with so much awesome to go around, but I went for a marathon for a science fiction that aired on Space last summer and one that Suzie & I did chat about on occasion:

Outcasts Marathon
Sunday March 25, 2012 from 11AM - 9PM EST on Space

I'm quite excited for this as I didn't watch all of it last year (I believe it was right around the move), so I have no idea what happened! I enjoyed the premiere and was curious to see where it went, and Sunday is a good time to find out!

Here is a series synopsis: "Seeking the chance to build a better future, a group of courageous pioneers departs Earth for Carpathia, a newly discovered planet in a distant galaxy. Led by President Richard Tate and his core team of Stella, Cass and Fleur, the pioneers settle in the town of Forthaven, creating a society there alongside expeditionaries Mitchell and Jack. Having embraced all the challenges that come with forging a new beginning, the townspeople work hard to preserve what they've built on Carpathia, and even as they long for those left behind, there is optimism about the future. But while they try to learn from mistakes made on Earth, there is no avoiding the human pitfalls of love, greed, lust and loss."
