Sci-Fi This Week: Orphan Black’s Alison To The Rescue

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

It’s a quiet week for sci-fi and fantasy television as we head into the last days of May. But don’t worry! There are a ton of genre shows headed our way this summer, with new and returning shows teed up for June.

This Saturday it’s a new episode of BBC America’s clone drama Orphan Black, and Alison must take action to save her husband from a drug lord. Meanwhile, Scott sits down with the cunning Rachel.

On Game of Thrones this week Cersei finds that the tables have turned on her dramatically, Danaerys speaks with Tyrion, and Jon Snow comes face-to-face with the armies of the Free Folk north of the Wall.
