The new nerd is an excellent actor! Those of you who watch Battlestar Gallactica will be familiar with him and he's funny as heck in that series too but in a different way.

Exciting episode, and some interesting developments. Loved the D gibbons character, dont know why but he sometimes look like Richard branson from certain angles! He's mad and dangerous but I felt sympathy for his motives. D Gibbons that is...not Branson

Ratings have been sliding very drastically in America (where it matters most!) so not sure how long a lifeline this series will get but I hope it gets a second season at least.

At least we will get to the end of the season at least, I hate it when they cancel shows and just stop showing them, they don't even bother to make the rest of the season available to those who want to see it. It'd be great to get a 2nd season but I doubt we will see one.

No chance of a second season from what I understand. Apparently a few of the main actors have signed up for other shows this year, which kind of infers that FlashForward won't be getting a second season.

To be honest, I think it's probably for the best to finish it off after one season. It's not really a storyline that lends itself to multiple seasons. Once they've resolved who caused it and why, then where do they go from there?

That's what I thought about season 1 of Heroes! The cheerleader and the world is saved, where do they go from there....

Yeh they did that with Eastwick which finished on episode 13 and that had some prospect. Dirty Sexy Money last year finished half way in the US even though there were some episodes left.

I dont like it like that either. I'm not so sure about a season 2 for FlashForward. I have enjoyed it but not sure if it has alot of prospect for a 2nd season.

Abit off track but the last episode of Lost was really good! o/

Yeah, that was edge of the seat stuff. Most thrilling episode ever! We're just 3 episodes away from the very end of LOST, and it sure feels like it, we're at maximum acceleration here. This season so far seems to have the biggest set pieces than the first 5 seasons put together!

Fringe's latest episode was also very cool and building up nicely to an exciting season finale.

And Flashforward has really picked up steam too in the second half of the season, (Last episode was fantastic, great twists and developments), such a shame now that damage seems to have already been done as the already low ratings are declining further. Real shame. The world of television is a very unforgiving and cutthroat one, and that includes me as I kinda got very nasty on FF but now I feel sorry for it!

Flashforward has officially been cancelled, can't say its a surprise really though.

Yep, bit sad really, as the series was great in the second half despite all my critisms of the first half. But when the ratings are down in the US thats all that matters to the cut throat networks. They dont give a damn for those viewers who follow their series only to get no conclusion. But lets hope there is still time for FF to give a wrap up episode. Some series which gets cancelled manages to do a "backup" conclusion epsiode but not often. Journeyman (brilliant time travel series that never got marketed well and never made it to season 2) was one example that tacked on an episode that answered most questions even though it felt all rushed.

Well, at least Fringe and Lost are rocking. Lost only has 2 episodes left, the last one being a 2.5 hour epic finale. Fringe is renewed for a 3rd season.

Heroes is also rumoured to being cancelled too but there are talks of a full length feature movie been made to give fans a proper ending.
