In the next Continuum on Syfy, Kagame’s return begins with a reset of Liber8’s agenda, away from violence and towards blending into the community and fostering their revolution through co-opting existing structures. But they have a vulnerability – the possibility that if their ancestors, living in this time, are murdered, they might cease to exist. A test of this theory is devised and Kiera and her grandmother are the guinea pigs.

Rebooted Thuderbirds are Go! series gets 26 episode order for 2015 airing
by Doc on Feb.04, 2013, under Television
It was almost two years ago that Gerry Anderson stated very matter-of-factly that a new Thunderbirds series was going to be made. Since then we heard nothing, and Anderson himself passed away in December.
Now ITV Studios announced that it will co-produce a new Thuderbirds are Go! series with New Zealand based Pukeko Pictures and Weta Workshop, with 26 half-hour episodes to be aired on ITV and CITV in 2015. Presumably it will be shopped to international markets as well.
The new show will be a combination of CGI and live-action models, paying tribute to the Supermarionation style Gerry Anderson made famous.
The Thunderbirds follow the Tracy family of five brothers who are part of International Rescue, and pilot a variety of spectacular vehicles to come to the rescue of people around the world.

Hey –
Well, it’s been a draining few weeks, to say the least. I’m still shocked that Henry’s gone. This flu is getting out of hand and I don’t know what to do. So, bear with me if I seem a little out of sorts—I’m hungry, OK?
I’ll be OK, though – you’ll see. Watch the sneak peek below. But, if that’s not good enough, you know you can always tweet @BeingHumanSyfy to demand the first four minutes of Monday’s episode. Also, Josh took the time to make this little vlog about some of his favorite music.

A

Defiance is not just a TV show starting April 15th – it is also a MMO shooter game which now has its own release date – April 2nd. And now there is a live-action game trailer that gives a bit of the setting of the game!
