Hopefully you’ve been watching this really fun, entertaining supernatural show. If not, now’s the time to get going on that. Lost Girl brings us new supernatural creatures nearly every week as well as longer story arcs, some nice fight scenes, great cast chemistry, and lots of sex between pretty people. What’s not to like?

The series is produced in Canada and airs on Showcase there; Showcase and Syfy both announced the new season pickup yesterday. Unfortunately, while Canada is getting the next season in late 2013, we in the U.S. have to wait until 2014. Hopefully that isn’t set in stone…

The Baltimore Sun notes that both the Ravens and the 49ers have done cool things for the Lgbt community this year, and so they're calling this Sunday's Super Bowl: "The Gay Rights Bowl." Too bad 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver ruined every bit of gay goodwill when he said he wouldn't let gay players into his locker room yesterday, along with a whole bunch of other anti-gay stuff.

• Once Upon a Time has promoted Colin O’Donoghue — and, in turn, Captain Hook — to series regular, EW.com reports. The Irish actor will make his debut in the ABC series’ Oct.

Last week, Joss Whedon returned to our screens with the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Cabin in the Woods, with which Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) made his directorial debut to brilliant critical acclaim, with a script he co-wrote with Whedon.

This week, Whedon returns once more to our home entertainment systems with the release of The Avengers, the year’s biggest film to date, and the third-highest-grossing film of all time. It’s been one we’ve been looking forward to ever since its release, and now it has arrived for us to bask in its awesomeness once more.

My picks of the week:

Joss Whedon’s The Avengers & Jay Oliva’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – Part 1.

And Bond 50 – the complete 22-film James Bond collection on Blu-ray.

“Xiii”, about one of those super badass spy types forced to act, started life as a comic book before being adapted into a 2008 mini-series starring Stephen Dorff. The film probably had way too much similarities to “The Bourne Identity” for most people’s liking, with a hero suffering from amnesia and bad guys trying to kill him and a conspiracy to unravel and such. Which leads us to “Xiii: The Series”, which as you probably guess, is a TV series based off the same character and follows the events of the mini-series. Stuart Townsend is now the very capable badass spy, and he’s joined by lovely lasses Aisha Tyler and Virginie Ledoyen. Xiii is the story of a man’s quest to uncover the truth about his identity. Named for the Roman numeral tattooed on his neck, Xiii is a former secret operative who cannot remember his past. Hunted by a dark anti-government organization,...

Excellent news about a fun, entertaining supernatural crime show with some cool creatures, a fair amount of sex and terrific chemistry between the characters. Hopefully you’ve been catching Lost Girl on Syfy, Mondays at 10/9c. The show is Syfy‘s only “acquired” scripted series. It’s a Canadian production and has been broadcast there with great success and rabid fans, if my international Twitter feed is any indication.

It was renewed for a third season in Canada back in December, before Season 1 debuted here on Syfy in January. Syfy began airing Season 2 the week after Season 1 concluded, and Season 2 is still rolling out now. It’s great news that we’ll be seeing the third season here as well. Here’s the press release:

The story is based on a Belgian comic book penned by Jean Van Hamme and drawn by William Vance. It's the follow-up of Xiii: The Conspiracy, a two-part TV film. After the assassination of the first American female president, the federal government believes it has the suspect in the form of Xiii (Stuart Townsend). In fact, he's in a secret prison of the CIA.

After his escape from that prison, Xiii accepts a mission from Irina (Virginie Ledoyen), a mercenary with mysterious employers. Who has he worked for? Where does he come from?With the help of people he comes across, especially Maj. Jones (Aisha Tyler), Xiii...

Yesterday in Toronto, production began on the first season of the upcoming Canadian TV series Xiii.

Moreover, Xiii: The Series will be aired in 2011 on Showcase and CanalPlus, which are two cable networks respectively from Canada and France.

In the two-parts TV film, the first U.S. female president (Mimi Kuzyk) had been assassinated by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. While the USA's secret services is hot on his heels, the assassin manages to escape. A few weeks after these events, an elderly couple discover the body of an amnesic man wearing a parachute. This man has the number "Xiii" tatooed on his neck. Since he has been designated as the prime suspect in the assassination of the president,...
