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.

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

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

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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.

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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.

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.

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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.

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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.

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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.

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.

Re: Flashforward getting "retooled" too?

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.

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.
