Flash Forward, True Blood, Heroes

Mannen bak den nye serien Flash Forward, Marc Guggenheim, sier til SciFi Wire at serien ikke vil bli en streng gjenskapelsen av Robert J. Sawyer's originale novelle: "Basically the book provided the concept... the notion of a worldwide blackout, people flash-forward into their future... Pretty much everything else is different. The characters are different. The circumstances are different, the nature of the stories that we're telling are different... The novel is essentially a jumping-off point for us." Og, kanskje enda viktigere: det vil ikke bli en ny Lost med hundretusen løse tråder og forfattere som ikke vet hva eller hvor de vil gjenom flere sesonger. Fordi:

"What the show is about is really simple. Everyone in the world blacks out at the same time on the same day, and during their blackout they have a vision of their future for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, six months into the future. They all wake up and deal with the consequences. They deal with the consequences of the blackout. They deal with the consequences of the things that they learned during their flash-forwards... We say in the pilot that the characters are going to see a vision of their future [on] April 29, 2010. Which means we've got six months [worth of story]. There ain't no vamping to be done. We plant a very specific flag, so even if we wanted to vamp, we no longer have the option."

True Blood: "HBO's second-season premiere of True Blood last Sunday earned a series record-setting 3.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched program on the network since the Sopranos finale two years ago, according to The Hollywood Reporter."

Heroes: "Rick Worthy—who played the Cylon Simon on Battlestar Galactica—is joining the cast of NBC's Heroes next season, playing Matt Parkman's (Greg Grunberg) new partner." Enda mer BSG inn i Heroes til en ny sesong, det kan da bare hjelpe! : SciFiwire
