All hail SAMCRO. FX has greenlighted “Sons of Anarchy” for a 13-episode second season.

The freshman motorcycle-club drama, created by Kurt Sutter, stars wife Katey Sagal, Hellboy legend Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam.

Written in the vein of Hamlet, Sons of Anarchy has quickly gained a cult following - and not just from motorcycle enthusiasts. The edgy series attracts estranged Sopranos fans and women who love watching Katey Sagal get her bad ass on.

Though still working out the kinks between over-dramatized situations and dark comedic undertones, Sutter has created a template for a winning series. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the series averages 3.5 million adults 18-49 on a weekly five-telecast cume basis.

The motorcycle-club drama from creator/exec producer Kurt Sutter has been given a 13-episode order for its sophomore run, with stars Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal and Ron Perlman on board. John Linson and Art Linson also exec produce the drama, from Fox 21 and FX Prods.

Sons of Anarchy airs every Wednesday at 10PM on FX.

In Dexter Season 3 Episode 3, entitled “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” Dexter learns that Miguel Prado wants Dexter to be his friend. But just how smart is it for Dexter, a serial killer, to befriend an Assistant District Attorney?

In this clip, “Slow Investigation,” Miguel Prado tries to get Maria to slow down her pursuit of the killer.

Try as Vic might, things don’t look good for our favorite cop both on the job and home fronts.

Vic sets plans in motion to end the gang threat as his relationship with Cassidy deteriorates. Dutch and Billings investigate a possible somnambulist murder.

Heroes Season 3 Episode 4, “I Am Become Death,” was without a doubt one of the best Heroes’ episodes of all time.

Future Peter brings his past self four years to the future only to see his future self die. Peter is convinced by his future self that stealing Syler’s powers is the only way to save the world. Unfortunately, the world always needs saving. And every decision, no matter how altruistic, can result in the end of the world.

What happens next may truly be one of the best Heroes’ scenes of all time. A battle is staged at the former Bennett house, between the team of Peter and Syler against team Claire. A reformed Syler, back to calling himself Gabriel, tries in vain to protect his son’s life. When he fails. Syler returns and goes nuclear. End of the future. Destruction shall set you free.

Season 3 of Heroes has renewed and bolstered our faith in Tim Kring.

The latest secret revealed on Heroes is that not all Heroes were born - some were created. Sad for Mohinder that he tried to create his own formula only to fail, and transform himself into some mutated hybrid. I guess he’s like a Morlock from the X-Men now.

Look out for Episode 5 of Heroes. We’ve got the return of Takezo Kensei aka Adam Monroe.

Synopsis
Peter, trying to save a world destined for destruction, takes on a dark, dangerous ability. It looks like the poster boy for Mr. Nice Guy is slowly making his transition to becoming his future bad ass self.

After allowing Angela’s (Christine Rose) half of “the formula” to be stolen, Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) set out to uncover the identity of the Villain who hired Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) by consulting with the person who knows the Villains best… Adam Monroe (guest star David Anders).

After the bloodbath at the bank, H.R.G. (Jack Coleman) resolves to get rid of his new partner. Meanwhile, determined to be a hero, Claire (Hayden Panettiere) hits the road in pursuit of one of the Villains from H.R.G.’s old files. Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) is tempted by impulse and the promise of unlocking the secrets of human ability. Linderman (guest star Malcolm McDowell) and Molly (guest star Adair Tishler) return with a twist. A new romance ignites between two Heroes.

There are a lot of titles on the Marvel pull list this week. The one I’m really eying is X-MEN: ORIGINAL SIN # 1.

We’ve got a couple Secret Invasion tie-ins but nothing outstanding. Honestly, I can’t say what’s really happened in the past two issues of Secret Invasion. Just a lot of nothing.

And DC Comics returns with a vengence… Or a crisis to be more precise. And more Batman RIP. We’ve got the conclusion to the Brainiac story arc, plus more Hush in Detective Comics. I’ve got to say Hush is making a run at Joker status with this recent arc. Taking out Catwoman’s heart may be the most vile thing I’ve seen in comicdom in a long time.

Secret Six is back with issue #2. This title is one to watch. I’ve followed the journey of the six since Villains United and it was easily one of the best Crisis arcs to date.

Did I mention more Green Lantern. You can’t go wrong with a little Geoff Johns added to your comic bag.

X-Men Evolution is being aired online, and we’ll be posting the videos as we get them. The series started off relatively slowly. It didn’t compare to its 90s counterpart, and was aimed at a younger audience.

As the series grew, so did the characters and plot arcs. This was one definitely worth checking out. We’ll start airing eps midway through the season so you have a good jumping on point.

Here’s X-Men: Evolution - Season 1 Episode 9.
