Sci-Fi This Week: The Viper Faces The Mountain, Orphan Black‘s Alison Faces Exposure
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.
We’re in that awkward, in-between stage in the TV broadcast season … after the major broadcast networks have concluded their shows but before the summer series really get going. So we’re down to just five genre shows airing this week.
On the plus side, these are some of our favorite shows! The 100 is roaring toward its season finale (while the writers start to plan for Season Two), with an all-out war with the Grounders drawing ever closer. On Continuum Kiera deals with a major loss. And Game of Thrones will see the epic (and inevitable) clash between the Mountain and Prince Oberyn, a.k.a. the Red Viper.
Meanwhile Alison is falling apart on Orphan Black when a member of her rehab group threatens to tell the world the truth about her role in Aynsley’s death, prompting her clone sisters to come to the rescue.
