Last night Canadian viewers got a look at the new sci-fi series Continuum on Showcase. The series, created by one of the minds behind FOX’s 24, joins the ranks of other Canadian genre shows, a group that includes hit series, Lost Girl. So how does this one stack up to the others?

It’s ladies night on Mad Men as both Joan (Christina Hendricks) and Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) make huge career moves. But is this a case of women doing it for themselves, or are they trying to prove something to the men?

It’s a battle royale on Game Of Thrones as Stannis’ (Stephen Dillane) fleet finally reaches Blackwater and sh*t gets real. The battle is a serious barn burner (and not just in HBO’s budget!).

After watching the season finale of Revenge Wednesday, I was certain that I had seen the craziest hour of television that the 2011-2012 season had to offer. Fast forward twenty-four hours and begin a slow-clap for Awake, a complicated show that never quite caught on. Last night touched on insane series finale territory as it somehow managed to answer questions but revealed nothing all at the same time. Let the great debate begin!

Well, that’s a wrap on the buzziest, most compulsively addictive show of the season. And if you liked cliffhangers, then you scored the mother load as Revenge broke out every twist and turn it could think of.

The Doctor Who Project: At the behest of TVAngie (and many, many of my students), I’ve been catching up on the 2005 revision of Doctor Who. I’ll be posting my thoughts on some of the big episodes as I make my way up through the series. For now I’m up to season four, but before I move on, I thought I’d tackle ‘Blink’, the Doctor’s tenth episode of season three.

After last week’s uber-disappointing outing, I went into Lost Girl with some trepidation. Then I remembered it’s the notorious sixth episode for which a great deal of digital ink has been written on a particular intimate encounter between a certain doctor and a certain succubus. Would a sexy encounter with Bo (Anna Silk) and Lauren (Zoie Palmer) make things better? Read on to find out.

This week’s episode of my favorite “love to hate” show was completely centered on Hannah (Lena Dunham) and her trip back home to visit her parents. It also showed us again what a stuck up, self absorbed mess Hannah is…you know, just in case you forgot.

It’s Christmas time on Mad Men as the gingers take centre stage in this week’s offering. We get the return of Lane Pryce (Jared Harris), some significant Joan (Christina Hendricks) screen time, and the return of a familiar face in a very bizarre plotline.
Let’s take a closer look after the jump.
