This show is toast.

Well, maybe not. ABC has already canceled Ugly Betty, Lost is over, The Forgotten is toast, The Deep End is likely dead...they have what, Castle left? Happy Town (if that even gets decent ratings), and V. Ouch.

There's a show called Happy Town?

No, only Whedon show I watched and could take without sleeping was Firefly.

No thread for the new episode? I guess the show is toast.

I thought the new episode was fantastic! Tons of revelations, a much faster pace, I was totally psyched..

the new episode was easily the best of the series so far. Too bad nobody watched it.

Yeah, great episode. The two hours were really fantastic.

It seems they are going all balls out now.

I actually watched the recap early in the day, and can't believe so much happened in the first half of the season, it's just that they dragged out too much. I think I almost stopped watching the series, or at least I stopped caring.

But last night was really great.

Well that's good to hear. It's been off the air so long I'd forgotten I'd been watching it. I'll have to make sure I'm caught up and then watch this one.

Is this move to 9pm permanent? That's already such an overcrowded time slot for my DVR. They're re-playing last night's on Saturday, so I'll be able to record that one, but it doesn't look like they're doing that for next week's episode.

Raul3 03-19-10 09:56 AM

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?
 
I think it's going to be at 8.

Walker Boh 03-19-10 10:13 AM

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?
 
Ahh, well now I feel dumb. Just figured out that the problem was the fact that it was 2 hours last night (8-10), so it didn't record because of the higher priority shows at 9. Regular 8-9 episodes should be fine. Oops.

I think one of my TiVo's caught it--I'll have to check. Glad to hear it was good. I planned to "watch out" the season, but forgot it was even returning.

I missed it but I'll catch it on Hulu.

I have to say that I was entertained by the two hour event. I kind of lost interest in watching it again after the break, but I feel it was a good start. It would have been better if it never stopped though.

interesting that they addressed some of the things people speculated here (the fact that the girl was being baptized instead of drown).

I have to wonder, how many times does the FBI let an agent lose a vital person of interest before they pull her from his detail, or at least assign some backup? Apparently the answer is more than three.

It seems the FBI uses the same high standards to hire therapists as they do agents. "Take these experimental drugs, addict, or don't bother coming back."

That was just the religious guy's "good things" hypothesis. It could still be the creepy guy from the hospital drowning her.

of course. but people here (and around the internet) had speculated that maybe it was something other than a drowning. i'm just saying it was interesting that they covered it. :shrug:

I just got back into town from vacation and would have gladly started a thread since I am one of the few fans in this forum who still like this show.

Well, I will start one next week, even though judging by the ratings I just read, the show is in serious danger.

I thought it was amazing how they revealed more about the flashbacks in these 2 hours than they did the whole run last fall. If they would have been moving at this pace since the beginning the show wouldn't be in the gutter ratings wise.

DJariya 03-20-10 01:17 PM

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?
 
That was what most people in this forum were complaining about in the 1st 10 episodes that aired last fall. They thought the pacing was horrendous and not alot was revealed.
