SYNOPSIS: Follows an unlikely relationship between a gifted young girl and a man sprung from prison who has been tasked with protecting her from the evil elements that hunt her power.
Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, even predict the future… since she was two years old, Bo has had gifts she could neither fully understand nor control. Raised by a small group known as the “True Believers,” the orphaned girl has been safeguarded from harmful outsiders who would use her forces for personal gain. But now that she is 10, her powers have become stronger, and the threat has grown more dangerous.
With her life and future now in jeopardy, the “Believers” turn to the only person they see fit to be her full-time protector. That is, once they break him out of jail. Tate, a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who’s lost his will, is initially reluctant – until he witnesses one of her extraordinary abilities. Bo sees people for who they truly are… and who they may become.
Tate and Bo begin their journey, one in which trust must be earned. Traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed forever. But they’ll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces after Bo’s power… because it will take a miracle to keep them safe forever.
The powers of a young girl may hold the fate of our world in “Believe,” from executive producer J.J. Abrams and executive producer/writer/director Alfonso Cuarón (“Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” “Children of Men”).

First look: Josh Holloway in Intelligence
Intelligence, based on unpublished book Dissident by John Dixon, is centered at U.S. Cyber Command and focuses on a unit that has been created around one agent with a very special gift — a microchip has been implanted in his brain that allows him to access the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Holloway will play Gabriel Black, a former Navy SEAL and dedicated intelligence officer.
CBS announced today that Intelligence will be held until midseason, when it will air on Mondays at 10 p.m.
First trailer: Almost Human
Executive-produced by Emmy Award winner J.J. Abrams and creator J.H. Wyman and starring Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, Minka Kelly and Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor, Almost Human is a high-tech, high-stakes action drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. An unlikely partnership is forged when a part-machine cop (Urban) is forced to pair with a part-human robot (Ealy) as they fight crime and investigate a deeper cover-up in a futuristic new world.
If I could write for any character on TV, I’d write for…
Carlton Cuse: Danny McBride on Eastbound & Down.
Most insane network note I’ve received is…
Cuse: We had a scene in LOST where a character was running a rat through a maze, and we got a note wondering if we could understand the rat’s point of view. It’s a tossup between that and a note I got on a feature I wrote—p.76: “We feel it’s too early for these characters to be barbecuing a goat.”
Adam Horowitz: You can’t kill a dwarf named Sneaky because “sneaky” sounds derogatory. If you name him Stealthy, it’s OK. So we named our eighth dwarf Stealthy. Killed him. And hopefully avoided hurting the feelings of sneaky people around the world.
The best joke I’ve had to cut is…
Edward Kitsis & Horowitz: on LOST, in season 2, when Locke is trying to sweet talk Charlie into taking a shift pressing the button in the hatch he attempts to entice him by telling him there’s a record player down there. We took it another step when, off Charlie’s hesitancy, Locke presses: “Do you like Foghat, Charlie?” — Damon and Carlton thought it was too much. They may have been right, but just the thought of Terry O’Quinn saying the word “Foghat” still makes us laugh. Agree to disagree, DL/CC. Agree to disagree. (x)
