Even though the television series Haven does not exactly read like a Stephen King novel, it is loosely based on one of his recent works called the Colorado Kid. Filmed in Nova Scotia Canada, Haven is well written with a science fiction based plot.

Creators and critics refer to "Caprica TV show" as a spin-off from the classic "Battlestar Gallactica," but the allusion deceives devoted viewers of the old space drama, and it flies right over the heads of the new show's most enthusiastic viewers"”adolescent boys obsessed with all things technological. Strictly speaking, "Caprica" is a prequel to the final struggle for survival dramatized in "Battlestar Gallactica": The stories are set approximately sixty years before the Cylons began plotting to destroy humanity, and it focuses on a tech-crazy world drunk on its own runaway success. The stories dramatize dangerous, self-destructive tendencies in people so completely self-absorbed and so thoroughly addicted to their gadgets they become oblivious to the world that lives beyond their arms' reach, palpable instead of digitized. Characteristic of the best science fiction writers, "Caprica's" crew subtly allegorizes the serious ethical ramifications of post-modern advances in artificial intelligence and robotics. In the United States, the SyFy channel put "Caprica TV show" on hiatus late in 2010, holding back just a few new episodes for first broadcast sometime early in 2011. Despite the show's uncertain American future, the production team continued making new episodes for air in the United Kingdom and Canada.

"Stargate Universe TV show" (aka SGU) premiered on Syfy in September, 2009, part of a larger Stargate franchise, which has a production history at least as complicated as the plots of all the Star Treks combined. The immediate success of "Stargate Universe" provides the living proof that the ComicCon crowd never tires of going boldly where no man has gone before. The situation is more than a little reminiscent of "Battlestar Gallactica," but edgier and richer in good one-liners. This time, a group of intrepid explorers whose own ship has been disabled boards a crewless ship permanently locked on cruise control and set to go to the ends of the universe. Because they have no hope of returning to Earth, the eclectic crew of scientists, soldiers, and civilians must figure out how they will survive by their wits and the ship's tools as they float around the edges of the galaxy. Of course, the struggle for survival brings out the noblest qualities in the heroes, the vilest qualities in the villains, and hundreds of opportunities for uber-cool special effects.

Dubbed a combination of mystery, crime drama, and American fantasy show, Grimm comes to home (not so small) screens on Friday evenings filled with dark twists and turns including some familiar fairy tale characters from the legendary Grimm's Fairy Tales we all grew up listening to or reading. There are familiar "bad guys" such as the Big Bad Wolf and many new ones that can be equally frightening if only to the younger set. Nick Burkhardt (played by David Giuntoli from Nip/Tuck, Veronica Mars) is a descendant from the Grimm line of hunters who is a homicide detective by day and fights supernatural forces on the side. Russell Hornsby (Lincoln Heights, Meet the Parents) is Hank Griffin, Burkhardt's homicide partner, and Juliette Silverton, who is Burkhardt's girlfriend is played by Bitsie Tulloch (Lakeview Terrace, Ring Tone). Eddie Monroe previously was considered to be a Big Bad Wolf but now works with Nick Burkhardt. He is played by Silas Weir Mitchell from Dexter and Monk. Don't confuse Grimm with another show that recently premiered, Once Upon A Time. Grimm will be much darker and have more of an adult theme. Through Burkhardt's eyes we see normal people turn into monsters and no one is safe anymore!

Merlin is about a teenage magician who learns his trade from Magister Gaius. It is his discovery of his abilities that the show centers around and viewers find the idea intriguing to see how he learns how to concentrate his new powers for the sake of good. Plenty of humor along the way keeps this program from becoming a documentary and the likeable characters make for fun television. Special effects are in play to make Merlin's talents appear even more fascinating. Merlin becomes a squire to noble Arthur, the crown prince and has more opportunities to put his magic to work. King Uther Pendragon hates magic and has subsequently outlawed it from his kingdom, but his son Arthur is the one Merlin must worry about and keep his magical capabilities a secret or fear execution. An imprisoned dragon tells Merlin he has a destiny to fulfill and that means staying alive at any cost. Talented young Colin Morgan plays Merlin and Bradley James as Prince Arthur head up an extremely talented cast in the magical world of Camelot.
