It's been a bit of a wait, but finally Eureka and Warehouse 13 are back, along with the new series premiere of Alphas as part of Syfy's exciting new line-up Powerful Mondays, tagged as the most powerful night of the week.

It all kicks off with the return of Eureka at 8/7 c, followed by the return of Warehouse 13 9/8.  Can't wait to see whether we've seen the last of H.G. Wells?  Last but not least of the line-up, is the new series premiere of Alphas 10/9c.  Think of it as a combination of Fringe and Heroes.


So what do  you think?  Is Alphas something you will watch? How about Eureka and Warehouse?

Doctor Who Series 6 Airs Tonight; One Of The Four Leads 'Marked For Death'

We here at RaiderJane have been counting down for months in anticipation to the new series of Doctor Who.  Well the waiting is nearly over. Only 12 hours until the premiere of the series 6 of Doctor Who airs tonight on BBC One and BBC America.

Synopsis, taken from daemonstv.com:
    "four envelopes are received, numbered 2, 3, and 4, each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but in TARDIS blue. Who sent them?  And who received the missing number one? This strange summons reunites the Doctor (Matt Smith), Amy (Karen Gillan), Rory (Arthur Darvill) and River Song (Alex Kingston) in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret the Doctor's friends must never reveal to him. 'Space 1969' is their only clue, as their quest lands them-quite literally- in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former- FBI agent Canton (Mark Sheppard) in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman."

And if that isn't enough, according to bleeding cool, Doctor Who Magazine claims that one of the 11th Doctor's 4 main characters is going to be killed off in the first episode!  That's right, dead.  Click here to see the above magazine cover and 3 alternates.

So who will it be? The Doctor (Matt Smith), Amy (Karen Gillan), Rory (Arthur Darvill) or River Song (Alex Kingston)?  No matter who it is, this'll be a sad episode for fans of the show. Who do you think's days are numbered?

Doctor Who, series 6, airs tonight on BBC One/BBC America, 9 ET/6 Central

First Look at 'Torchwood: Miracle Day' Poster

The next season of Torchwood is set to premiere in July.  Check out this new rockin' poster that was just released.

According to Russell T Davies, the show's creator and executive producer, the show is going to revolve around the premise that "death has ceased to exist", which would obviously cause some major problems in population. Not sure how it will be tied back to the time rift/alien storyline.  Perhaps it will be the aliens who will have introduced a new disease or the humans have somehow become immune to death. No matter, this show is going to be simply awesome.

Torchwood: Miracle Day premieres July 8th, on Starz. Don't miss it!
