After a rocky start in which the second season of Awkward. focused entirely too much on the love triangle between Jenna (Ashley Rickards), Jake (Brett Davern) and Matty (Beau Mirchoff), the last few episodes have completely rebounded into the heartfelt show that we know and love.

It’s official, folks! After a few weeks of anxious waiting and hand-wringing, Showcase’s latest hit series Continuum used its Toronto FanExpo session to announce that it has been renewed for a 13 episode second season and will begin airing its first season in the US in early 2013. Details for S2 (such as return date) are still emerging, so we’ll update this space when they’re available.

Congratulations to the cast and crew. We’re very excited to see where the adventure goes next!

If our emotional response to television shows is directly proportional to our investment in it, then Lost Girl has long had me wrapped around its little finger. And while this may help to explain why I love it so much, it also means that I’m much more let down when it makes a misstep.
