    Once you’ve seen LOST, all these wannabes pale in comparison. I like how LOST treats you like you’re an intelligent person, makes you look stuff up on books and art if you want to LOL but FF spoon feeds everything…Ok THIS guy was from HER flashforward..remember??here’s ANOTHER clip of it in case you don’t lol LOST assumes you’re NOT a moron and are paying attention

    I love this show. It needs to be marketed better, and it really hurts it when they skip weeks or n this case months as it is just gaining steam.

    John Cho is the only thing that keeps me hanging on to FlashForward – he’s charming, funny and hot. I like Courtney B. Vance, Gina Torres, Gabrielle Union and Christine Woods as well. This show KILLS me because it’s like my dream cast of actors and they’re being wasted.

    I would like this writer to explain how a show that pulls 7 million plus (FlashForward) and 9 million plus (V) are “ratings challenged.” There are plenty of shows that wish they could get those numbers (practically anything on CW).

    I like the premise for Fast Forward, but I believe, like many others, it was too rushed. Sure, the destruction in the first episode makes a good trailer, makes people tune in, but from there it was all downhill. Half of each episode focused on the personal lives of people they never bother developing. I could care less if the FBI agent and his wife split up, or if he goes back to drinking. Perhaps they could learn from V and try it again in another 20 years with a different set of writers. The unfortunate thing being the cast is perfect, and in today’s youth obsessed culture, I doubt 50 year old John Cho and others would be cast. Also, “ipod generation”? Can’t say I could define the parameters for that one, as I’m 27 and have never had an ipod, while my 64 year old father has one.

    The bigger problem I see with shows like FF and V is that they start on ABC. ABC is notorious for taking a show and stirring up interest only to scrap it after it shows any remote improvement, anyone remember Pushing Daisies? I wish ABC would give it up already and surrender itself to the low rent crap it thinks will make money. I know I won’t be watching.

    I think this could be the blind item from Ausiello (sp?)
