I am so frustrated with this show, because it had (has) so much potential and they are doing their best to muck it up royally. As others mentioned, it is a convoluted mess right now. I don't know what they heck these writers are trying to do right now. They need to take this hiatus and start tightening things up and figuring out where the hell they are going with this thing.

I'll probably stick this thing out to the end and I hope it gets better and makes it worthwhile....

Okay, I'd never seen this show until last night. Damn! That Jack Davenport and Joseph Fiennes are all kinds of hot. Just my type. The story was convoluted, sure, and I have no idea what the hell is going on. I also could give a shit about anybody except the two of them. Still, for eye/ear candy, I am very bummed that this show is doing so poorly. Shittier shows (Prison Break) lasted way longer.

Goosey, I'm with you. I jumped "shit" weeks ago, but I keep reading this thread to see who else just couldn't take another minute.

Over at imdb, there is 100 things I learned from Flash Forward, pretty funny. I offered one, maybe you can figure out which one.

My guess:

When the FBI puts up a site like Mosaic no one will troll it and each post will be taken as fact with no one...

Yeah, that was a bit much. I was fully expecting some rock'n roll during the hostage taking incident, so I was relieved when it didn't happen.

I read a few weeks back that they actually did get rid of one of the main people in charge of the show. I can't remember who it was. But I am certain it was on ew.com.

I think TPTB didn't like the direction the show was going in so they let this guy go.

Also intel I have heard around is that the show is about to go in to overdrive now.

I didn't see last night's episode yet. I will tonight when I get home!

Unless they get a new writing team on board between now and when it returns then I highly doubt that.

OMG I love Michael Ealy! This ep rocked. I don't care if the writing is sloppy, if the acting is stiff or if the cast is too PC. Courtney Vance can do no wrong, Janis needs to find her baby daddy, Dem's Momma kicks ass and D. Gibbons IS A BAD MAN!!! I am just so glad they deadzoned the Aaron/dead daughter line. LOL@ Mark's action movie line.

All of you who jumped shit weeks ago will have your noses rubbed in it when this show does a stark 180 and becomes one of the best...

Judging by the rapidly declining ratings, you're not in the minority.

Well it look like I'm in the minority here! I just can't get past the crappy writing and implausible scenes. Great premise, poor execution.

It's possible that D. Gibbons caused the blackout, and that Simcoe/Campos didn't.

Or perhaps D. Gibbons did something deliberately, at the same time...

.. or maybe Simon was pushing Lloyd's buttons because he had been avoiding him? He seems to be a lil shit like that. I was more annoyed that Simcoe went head first into taking responsibility without giving any thought to the possibility their experiment may not have caused the FFs.

TB - no shooting from me. I have a bad feeling about the future of this show. I hope you're right about it being finished out for this season.

I also found it funny that Mark said "Enough with the action movie cliches" before that scene, and the following scenes, erupted in to complete action movie cliche territory. They even had him giving up his gun and badge.

I've said it before but I'll say...

Too bad every episode wasn't this good, maybe people would come back in march :-/ I LOVE this show, and I LOVED this episode, but if you look into it's numbers, it's dead in the water. We will get to see the rest of the episodes for the first season, but unless a miracle happens or ABC likes this show as much as us, it's toast. Just a friendly heads up to the real fans of this show, don't get too attached. Oh and please don't shoot the messenger.

I too like it! I've always said I'm sticking with it till the end!

Last night's episode, IMHO, was the best yet. Starting to see the story unravel and that's always good.

I still think Dimitri is not one of the "good guys".

I too like the theory about the past flash forward...

I like the show, too. I think it is beginning to pay off. All that being said, I still find many of the scenarios implausible. Others have pointed them out and I won't go over them again. I look forward to more episodes.
