The updated Len Wiseman remake of Total Recall has arrived and while it gives story credit to the Philip K. Dick original We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, this is basically a remake of the 1990 Paul Verhoeven film. Most critics are panning the film using a variety of unimaginative “memory”-related puns, but it’s easiest just to say its about white people problems.

Earlier this week I had the chance to chat with Continuum star Victor Webster, who plays Vancouver cop Carlos Fonnegra on Showcase’s hit series. We talked about the popularity of the show, how he got involved in the 11th hour and the possibility that Carlos and Betty (Jennifer Spence) will drunkenly hook up at a Christmas party.

It’s back to school time on Lost Girl as Bo (Anna Silk), Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) and Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) go undercover to break up a doping ring (what is this, Teen Wolf?). Plus: Lauren’s (Zoie Palmer) sex life gets a boost.

And there it is, folks: the Awkward. I’ve been waiting for since it began its sophomore run. In its first season, the show was smart, flirty and maybe even a little dirty, but the second season made it seem like a bit of a fluke. And then sex came back into the picture and Awkward. suddenly found its way again.

This week Damages is all about exploring the linkages between Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) and Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne). Or, more specifically, the ways in which Patty fears that Ellen is simply a younger version of her.

After last week’s dance of rage, Sasha (Julia Goldani Telles) seems to be spiraling down the evil rabbit hole, to no one’s amusement. Meanwhile, Michelle (Sutton Foster) is finally teaching, but the sense of purpose we thought she would get from it is nowhere to be found. Well played, ASP. What we do get is an episode where relationships are tested and Fanny’s (Kelly Bishop) presence is sorely missed.

It’s time to examine the ramifications of last week’s cray-cray episode when Lydia (Holland Roden) brought Peter Hale (Ian Bohen) back to life. All of the sudden the number of potential bad-guys has increased dramatically. What does this mean for Scott (Tyler Posey) and the Teen Wolf version of the Scooby gang?
