Defiance
Friday at 8 p.m. on SYFY
As the sci-fi series returns for
Season 3, it welcomes three new
cast members and introduces
a new alien race called the
Omecs, who were the overlords
of the other alien races before
they all fled their dying universe
to come to Earth. They are
led by the headstrong T’evgin
(Conrad Coates, “The Strain”).
His daughter, Kindzi (Nichole
Galicia), is the alpha female
of their race. Meanwhile, Gen.
Rahm Tak (Lee Tergesen, “Oz”),
a ruthless leader in the Votanis
Collective, sets his aggressive
sights on Defiance.
Game of Thrones
Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO
Season 5 of this stirring adapta-
tion of George R.R. Martin’s epic
fantasy draws to a close in the
season finale, “Mother’s Mercy,”
which sees Stannis Baratheon
(Stephen Dillane) marching out
to embrace his destiny for good
or ill. Elsewhere, at a time when
she is feeling particularly vulner-
able, Dany (Emilia Clarke) finds
herself surrounded by strangers.
As Cersei (Lena Headey) seeks
forgiveness, Jon (Kit Harington)
faces an immense challenge.
Peter Dinklage also stars.
Rizzoli & Isles
Tuesday at 9 p.m. on TNT
Angie Harmon and Sasha
Alexander return as Boston’s
toughest crime-solving duo with
a Season 6 premiere called “The
Platform,” which to some extent
addresses the current hot-button
issue of violence between cops
and innocent civilians. When it
looks as if one of the detectives
has gunned down an unarmed
man on a busy subway plat-
form, Jane (Harmon) and her
team rush to find the real killer
and clear their colleague’s name,
with Internal Affairs breathing
down their necks.
