• Sci Fi Channel has greenlit the series, Warehouse 13, after ordering the two-hour pilot. Warehouse 13 looks like a cross between The Librarian, The X-Files and the warehouse seen in Raiders. It sounds interesting, which means Sci Fi will probably find a way to make it terrible.
  • The run of SF on major network TV continues, as ABC is close to landing the spec script for Flash Forward, based on the Robert J. Sawyer novel and partly penned by Star Trek alum, Brannon Braga (who has a bad rep in Trek circles). SF on network TV has a checkered history, so we’ll probably see this one not succeed, although it sounds good.
  • Gateworld has the scoop on the characters for the new Stargate: Universe series. They all sound like your typical Hollywood characters to me…
  • It seems that it isn’t just John and myself who have been underwhelmed with The Sarah Connor Chronicles so far. The series is bleeding viewers so far this season. With ratings that low, the future doesn’t look good.
  • If you live, or will be visiting, in or around Boston on October 18th, you might want to check out the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival’s Anime After Dark series, which starts at 7pm. They will be showing a lot of good stuff including: Grave of the Fireflies and Ghost in the Shell: Innocence.
  • In a moment of WTF?, Marvel has created a commercial to promote their Secret Invasion limited series. Just, whoa.
  • Still on the fence about tonight’s premier of Heroes? Here is the first 5 minutes of the show. I’ll let you decide if the writing has improved.
