Robert Sawyer Book TV Show Not On HBO

Meanwhile, ABC picked up a show HBO refused: Flash Forward based on the Robert Sawyer book. David Goyer, writer of Dark Knight and Brannon Braga, survivor of Star Trek Enterprise, are whomping it up.

Warehouse 13 About Stuff

Warehouse 13 has Bianca from Dresden Files, Joanne Kelly, as a government agent who works at a secret place where they keep supernatural stuff, gadgets, and artifacts for the government.
