You'll be hearing a lot of references to this new series on SyFy, that it is based on the Stephen King crime novella, The Colorado Kid. However, the only connection to the non-supernatural mystery King wrote, and the teleplay of Haven, comes into play as a sub-plot to the series. How we get to that point is later in the premiere episode of Haven, and will serve as the motivation for the lead character, FBI Agent Audrey Powers.
While investigating the murder of a local ex-con, FBI Agent Audrey Powers finds herself in the tiny hamlet of Haven. Haven is taken from the local native american name of Tuwiuwok, which translates to 'Haven for God's Orphans.' Appropriately named, as the town has been a refuge for generations of strange people trying to live out some sort of normal life (Hehe, lucky them ... where can I find such a place?). One by one, the townspeople's unique supernatural abilities are revealed, and Agent Powers must find ways to keep them from spiraling out of control. But, beyond the whodunnit, and what makes this town so special, is another deep, dark secret of Audrey's own past (aka The Colorado Kid).

The 3rd and final season of Brit Hit series, Robin Hood, premieres tonight, September 12, 2009, on BBC America. And after last season's heartbreaking finale, you can expect a much darker anti-hero, this season. Robin Hood is still battling the deliciously evil Sheriff of Nottingham, and his lapdog Sir Guy of Gisborne, but Robin now has only vengeance on his mind. I won't mention why in this paragraph, for folks who may not have seen the series, and may wish to get caught up with the DVDs of Season One and Two of Robin Hood. For the rest of you ... keep reading ...

If you can't get enough of NBC's Heroes, and wanna take a ride with a new set of folks with thier own brand of superpowers, check out the film released over the weekend - Push. A secret government agency in the US, called Division, has been rounding up folks with various psychic abilities, and using them as weapons.
Hiding out in Hong Kong are psychic refugees Nick and Cassie. Nick Gant is a second-generation "Mover" who is desperate to find his former girlfriend, Kira. Kira is a "Pusher" who has recently escaped Division with synthetic serum that will greatly enhance these psychic powers. Nick meets up with a young "Watcher" named Cassie, whose visions of the future include her own and Nick's death, if they don't find Kira and bring down Division.
