US Timeline FlashForward : Season 1 - Page 2

I believe this new episode showed the reason that the exec producers said the show could go on for 6 seasons. Although we all know it won't last that long. Am I the only one who thinks that the show is improving?

Nope. The last few eps have been really good - its like its suddenly got going - unfortunately its improved far too late to save it from the chop. Shame really.

I was reading somewhere its doing well everywhere apart from the US and might still get another season as its pretty cheap to make compared to other shows.

Fingers crossed as I think its pretty good.

EDIT: Found it.

Yup. It has been getting better, but it's too late now I think...

Hmm. Very doubtful, IMO.

That article was from before it returned after its stupidly long hiatus... and the ratings in the US have been falling & falling week by week... The ratings weren't too hot before the break either, but now they're truly awful.

Highly unlikely it will be renewed, even with international success.

On Ausiello's Renewal scorecard it is now down as "Now a long shot.".

I did like this week's episode... the series is definitely at its best when it concentrates on the actual main story, rather than boring & pointless filler such as Cancer Doctor's search for Japanese Girl, etc. I want to know WTF is going on with the blackout etc., not whether some guy is gonna meet some girl in a sushi restaurant.

I hope that the producers admit to themselves that it is unlikely to have a second season, & actually tie the whole thing up properly by the end. I really hate it when one-season shows end on cliffhangers.

I think it's more likely to be the 27th May 2010

The long hiatus killed interest for me. I had it V+'d for the Thursday late night repeats on Five. Five have clearly lost faith in Flashforward as they suddenly stopped the repeats. So now I've realised I've missed at least last weeks and tonights ep, that's it, the faint interest I had in this has expired.

Top tip to the TV companies, if you want an audience, schedule your programmes in a consistent manner.

I think every Monday at 9pm is pretty consistant

Just killing the repeat showing isn't consistent

AFAIK, the only time international sales have saved a show from the axe is with Baywatch. This was only saved because LWT took over a lot of the production costs.

I thought 24 was only renewed for a 2nd season because of international ratings?

Tezcatlipoca · 01-05-2010, 19:37

Another good one this week. And good to find out that Janice isn't a villain after all!

Nice to see Doctor Baltar again.

NoKnowledge · 01-05-2010, 19:40

So she's a double agent?

cimt · 01-05-2010, 19:51

Yeah. Can't wait for next week which is written by the man himself, Robert J. Sawyer.
