Comic-Con Trailer: True Blood
At the Comic-Con panel for True Blood a new trailer was released looking forward to the second half of the season. Needless to say there are major spoilers involved, and that even applies to anyone that is completely caught up on the series. However it is a a pretty cool look at what is to come with some wild suggestions being made in the footage. Often I find previews for the next episode to give a bit too much away, though sometimes it is misdirection, but I was surprised to see how much was...

Burn Notice Prequel Movie in the Works
At the Comic-Con panel for Burn Notice it was announced that the USA series will be getting a prequel in the form of a movie.
