Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.

With a handful of winter shows in repeats until February, this week is especially heavy in the monster and horror genre. Monday and Tuesday are wall-to-wall with vampires and werewolves. But then the superheroes kick in on Wednesday, as Oliver offers to train Roy to use his newfound powers on Arrow.

Syfy Channel is pulling the ol’ switch-a-roo this week, swapping Lost Girl (now 10/9c) and Bitten (now 8/7c) on Monday nights.

Next week we’ll hit February, which will see the return of Almost Human, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and The Walking Dead. So stay tuned!
