As we enter into the latter part of December the Fall Finales are mounting up. There is plenty to choose from this week ranging from Zombies to Comic Book Men.

While no new geek shows that stand out this week. We are treated to Season 2 of Amazon’s, Man in a High Castle on Friday. There is one off topic new show worth talking about, Stars. It premieres on FOX this Wednesday and brings some high powered talent from the music business. It will be worth listening to if not to watch.

We see the Fall finales for The Walking Dead & Talking Dead, Last Man on Earth, Comic Book Men, Ash vs Evil Dead, Blunt Talk, Z-Nation, The Exorcist, Timeless, and The Big Bang Theory. We’ll be announcing their winter & spring season premieres every Sunday so stay tune to our weekly posts for more details.

With the fall season wrapping up, there is time over the next few weeks to catch up on the DVR backlog or streaming offerings. We are starting to see major teasers for the new and returning winter premiers in January and February. Most notable (to this author) is the season 2 teaser for the Expanse, click to watch. We will be covering all the new show before they premier. If there’s any that you’re excited for please let us know on the forum by clicking here.
