FlashForward -- "Countdown" -- 05/20/10
Synopsis:
Spoiler:
Next week is the Series Finale.
I know most of you in this forum don't care about this show anymore, especially now that it has been officially cancelled. But, I'm actually a little disappointed now. As I said last week, I thought the 2nd half of this season was actually quite good.
Zachary Knighton (Bryce or Cancer Doctor) will be in the new ABC show Happy Endings with Elisha Cuthbert next season
Christine Woods (Janis) will be on the new NBC show Perfect Couples in the Fall.
I posted trailers for both of these shows in their respective upfront threads.

I'm still finishing it up. I'm about three shows behind which is why I haven't been participating in these threads. But I don't find it awful--just not as compelling as some other shows on right now which is why I haven't caught up yet.

I thought this week was the finale. Guess I'll catch it on Hulu then since the cable boxes are going back to Cox first thing Monday morning since Lost'll be over.

I thought it was very bland; basically they had everything change from the flash forward and yet it really had little impact on me.
I do find it funny how networks advertise shows that have been canceled with a "Season Finale" promo.

Well a few have already been changed; Beard dude's daughter died, Gabrielle Union isn't going to be on a beach with Demetri's family, Olivia is not going to be home, etc.
Of course they'll keep the whole Jericho break in bit but honestly, it has been pretty bad how this show's plot has evolved.

Good grief. Everything that Mark ended up doing was just ridiculous. What kind of moron who's been studying this stuff for months doesn't recognize that he's charging directly into predicted disaster? The icing on the cake was the dude who handed him the flask which he cackles at before chugging. Really? REALLY?

I feel like a broken record in these thread but the Father trying (finding) to find his daughter is the worst part of this show but it gets so much airtime. I like everything else about this show.
I'm still confused on how Mark's daughter overheard a conversation saying her father was dead but he clearly wasn't dead in his FF.
Istill think Janis will still end up at the doctor, Mark will be in his office obviously, army daughter will still be alive (ugh), Penny will be at the house, stupid boring guy will end up with Keiko, and Nicole will be in a water situation next week.

Mark didn't die in his flashforward and Charlie only heard something second-hand. It doesn't mean he was actually dead or was even going to be dead.

I'm sorry this show got cancelled because I thought it got better after it came back from hiatus. I'm not surprised it was cancelled though, given the low ratings. For the most part I liked the show, but I never liked the story about the father searching for his daughter, and Mark drinking from a stanger's flask was ridiculous and gross.

Mark drinking= Fail
It was so random, he just went into a complete downward spiral after that asshole in the interrogation room said some bad shit. I'm kinda happy Tracy is dead, I was really getting sick of that sub plot. Hopefully the finale is a step up from this one, it was pretty weak. I've enjoyed the show, but I'm glad to see it being wrapped up, it would have gotten boring and tedious during the second season.

Mark is such an idiot it's ridiculous. At every turn he has a chance to avoid his fate, but he always has to take the path towards his drunken divorced (possible) death.
