It’s Friday so that often means previews for new Syfy shows. Well, if you’re a fan of Syfy series like Defiance and Warehouse 13, you’re in luck, because today is no exception.

Firstly, Defiance is all-new; An old war buddy of Nolan’s comes to town chasing after an arms dealer, who quickly becomes a dangerous threat to the town. You can watch a sneak peek, as well as a behind-the-scenes clip of the the VFX.

Next, check out the sneak peek for a new Warehouse 13, as well as a best-lines clip from last week. It’s all to be found right after the break. So, what are you waiting for?

Loof for Defiance and Warehouse 13 on Mondays starting at 9/8C on Syfy.

It should be no surprise that we support Sci-Fi around here. Even when it’s spelled Syfy. Regardless of how you spell it, a cool syfy show is a cool sci-fi show.

Two of these cool shows are Warehouse 13 and Defiance, which has just been renewed for a second season. Both air on Monday nights on Syfy and we’ve got preview for Monday’s new episodes to share with you today.

First off, during an all-new Defiance, Amanda & Nolan take a transport across the badlands to transport a prisoner. Of course, things don’t go as planned. Shocking, right?

Then on Warehouse 13, it’s a black-and-white, noir episode with guest stars Missi Pyle and Enrico Colantoni. Those crazy kids from Galaxy Quest back together again. Good times indeed.

It all start Monday at 9/8C on Syfy with Defiance followed by Warehouse 13. Check out all the previews after the break.

This week’s pick is Hiroshima (1995), which was a made for T.V. mini series on Showtime Network, and was directed by both Koreyoshi Kurahara and Roger Spottiswoode . The film is about the events that led up to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan during the tail end of World War II. The film is told through the eyes of both American and Japanese militarists, and civilians who were responsible, and were greatly affected by the decision to use the bombs.

The film stars Kenneth Welsh (president Harry S. Truman), Ken Jenkins (Secretary of State James F. Byrnes), Wesley Addy (Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson), Richard Masur (Maj. General Leslie Groves), Colin Fox (Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal), George R. Robertson (Admiral William D. Leahy), Saul Rubinek (Professor Leo Szilard), Cedric Smith (Gen. Curtis Lemay), Bernard Behrens (Asst. Secretary of War John J. McCloy), Jeffrey DeMunn (J. Robert Oppenheimer), Tim West (Prime Minister Winston Churchill), Naohiko Umewaka (Emperor Hirohito), Kazuo Kato (Prince Fumimaro Konoe), Ken Maeda (Minister of War Korechika Anami), and Hisashi Igawa (Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo).

Hiroshima sets the tone of the film almost immediately with the death of president Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 12, 1945. His reluctant successor Harry S. Truman assumes the presidency and quickly learns of the secret government project that has devised a “gadget” which will help end the war first in Europe. Welsh, who is the spitting image of Truman, plays him to perfection. Other actors play the their historical counterparts the same.

Other notable standouts are Masur as General Groves who was the military mind behind the Manhattan Project that created both bombs at the Los Alamos, New Mexico laboratories. One of my favorite characters in the film is played by Wesley Addy who plays Henry L. Stimson, the Secretary of War. Stimson pleaded with Truman that the use of such a weapon could create a new arms race for atomic weapons in the near future. One scene in the film that has been debated by historians for decades is the meeting between Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard (Rubinek) and James Byrnes (Jenkins) at Byrne’s home in South Carolina.

It’s a good thing when Sci-Fi shows on a mainstream network keep getting further opportunities to be seen. Too often a show doesn’t get a chance to build an audience and is canceled. Fortunately, that’s not the case with Syfy’s Warehouse 13, which has been renewed for a third season.

After weeks of rumors, the cable network is set to announce a 13-episode pickup. Showrunner Jack Kenny will on board for another round and has signed a development deal with Syfy. During its second season, “Warehouse” averaged 3.4 million viewers and 1.5 million in the adults 18-49 demographic, making it Syfy’s most-watched series this year.

“Jack Kenny’s superlative leadership and the incredible talent of his cast and crew delivered an outstanding second season of ‘Warehouse 13,’ ” Syfy programming chief Mark Stern said. “We’re excited to see this successful series return next year and to developing our next hit with Jack.”

The Tuesday night drama follows two Secret Service agents who collect dangerous supernatural artifacts. No, its not the X-Files — but it is sorta similar. Still, a good show we’re glad to see get a third season.

As we often do because hey, why not, we’ve got a preview for tonight’s episode of Syfy’s hit series Warehouse 13 to share with you today. And this one looks pretty cool.

In the episode entitled “Vendetta” the team flies to Russia to track down a killer with links to Artie. As usual, things don’t go exactly as planned and the team is forced to improvise.

What is going on with this killer and why does he have a link to Artie? The answers may surprise you. To find out you’ll just have to watch. I know I will be, just like every week.

Check out the preview for tonight’s all-new episode of Warehouse 13 after the jump. Tune in at 9/8C for all the action only on Syfy.

We tend to post a lot of previews for shows here at The Flickcast. We like to do it because shows we think are cool need to get as much of an audience as they can in order to stick around for awhile. We don’t want another Firefly situation on our hands, do we?

The first is from a brand new episode of Warehouse 13, a show that has been getting better and better with each episode. With season two now in full swing tonight’s episode, entitled “Mild Mannered,” brings the team another adventure where things are not what they seem and danger lurks around every corner. Plus, you can count on some weird artifact that is screwing everything up.

The second clip is from the season premiere of tomorrow’s Ghost Hunters International, a show that we usually watch through our hands covering our eyes. Yes, it’s pretty scary. It does have ghosts, after all.

As a fan of the show, not something you want to miss.

As we’ve been doing for the past weeks with Stargate Universe and Merlin, we’ve got new show promos to share with you again today. However, with Stargate Universe having its season finale last week, the focus now shifts to the upcoming premiere of Syfy’s Warehouse 13.

So, to start us off right we’ve got two clips from Warehouse 13 to share with you as well as a clip from tonight’s episode of Merlin.

According to Variety, Syfy has decided to give its freshmen drama/comedy Warehouse 13 a second season. The show, which films in Vancouver and will stay there for season 2, concerns a male/female team of Secret Service agents who investigate missing and newly found supernatural objects.

According to the trade, its the most-watched show in Syfy’s 17-year history, averaging 3.7 million viewers a week.

“We took a look at doing 20 episodes, but for logistic and financial reasons, it didn’t make sense to do that right now, but I wouldn’t rule it out,” Syfy president Dave Howe told Daily Variety.

Apparently, thirteen episodes have been ordered for season two but as with Battlestar Galactica, that number could go up in subsequent seasons. This is good news for fans of Warehouse 13, a show which since its debut has been getting better and better. I look forward to seeing what happens in season 2.

Warehouse 13, which features Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly and Saul Rubinek, airs Tuesdays at 9/8C on SyFy.
