Ummm...do they not understand how a star dies?
They should change that to UnSci-Fi.

Unless there is some bizarre, almost supernatural event, the sun would turn into a red giant, engulfing Earth, then explode in a supernova before collapsing into a white dwarf.

Probably the only promising 1 looks like the 1 called sagitarius a. One looks an xmen ripoff and the other like unscifi!

@Gusto, fett: They haven't stated yet where the "posh estate house" is located. If it's on Earth, then there some science fail. But... if it's on a space station far away that was observing things as the sun died, then maybe. At any rate, it sounds like they're going for a rather heavy-handed metaphor here, rather than anything too heavy on the science.

We have absolutely no idea what Sagittarius A is about.

The sun one sounds like a stupid gimmick show that won't last past a couple of episodes and the third is a rip-off. Hey HEROES was great, the first season anyway. So it's possible to do that right, but more than likely it will be like that really crappy show that came out after the first X-Men movie.
