Continuum, the new sci-fi cop show on Showcase this Sunday: Preview

GI JOE operative Scarlett looking for one of the missing pieces of Cobra's Weather Dominator device.
Just kidding: It's Rachel Nichols as a time-travelling cop in Continuum.


It's late May. Victoria Day has come and gone. For our American neighbours, the Memorial Day weekend is here. It's the unofficial start of the summer.

This is also the time when a few cable networks launch some new programming. Among those is Continuum on Showcase, starring Rachel Nichols (recently seen in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Star Trek). Set in Vancouver, this new TV series revolves around a cop sent from the future to 2012 in order to thwart a terrorist attack.

More after the jump.

Rapid Reviews: The Movie Edition (Spring)


Looking for a few quick movie reviews this Victoria Day weekend? This will be the start of what I hope is a regular feature here: short reviews of movies, books. comics, etc. And, yes, this is the Movie Edition. I've seen a few movies this spring so far -- including The Avengers.

Movie watchers assemble! A slew of reviews after the jump.
