If you have tears coming out of your vagina....

16 million women love it, and if your male and watch it, then you must be on the waiting list for gender reassignment.

Wow, a lot of Lost references (flash forward, intro scene, bird crash) and some big names, I say this better live up for expectations. I loved the pilot so it's gonna be a keeper and I hope they make the story as huge and rich as Lost.

Producers: FlashForward Has To Last Three Seasons At Least

Ratings for Thursday's premiere were strong, but even in a worst case scenario, producers for ABC's FlashForward say they'll need three seasons to properly tell the story they've started. Looks like we're in for a long haul.

Talking to the British SFX magazine, co-creator and producer David Goyer said,

We pitched [ABC] a fairly excessive plan... I mean, we know exactly the shot that season one ends on! They obviously said this resembles Lost, in that it's a really cool script, but [they asked], 'Do you have any idea where it goes?' We said, 'Yeah we know how the whole season ends and how the whole series ends', and they went, 'Holy ****!'

Marc Guggenheim, another producer for the series, went further:

We know what the ultimate season is and the penultimate season is. For in between, we know the various seasons but we are treating it like an accordion. In success, [the show] can go seven years. In less success, it would need to go three years to work. The end game of the show, to be properly done, really requires two full seasons focusing on the end game.

With the pilot winning its timeslot for ABC, it's possible that ABC are looking at a very extended accordion for the show. We'll see if ratings continue to hold up in future weeks.

@Peewee210,

- Well, Darlton have always said that everything was planned on Lost and that they knew exactly how it was gonna end. Thing is, mostly due to the strike, some adjustments were inevitable. I don't think one could say that Lost's storyline was stretched out.

Yeah that's true actually. They were never given an end date, so they didn't know how long to stretch out the storyline..

Seems like they have it all planned out! I like it :) No stretching out a storyline like Lost did.

Yeah so really it depends on ratings, which I bet will be down next week because some people will not want to commit

I'll have to see for the rest of the season, also a new version of V comes out on ABC in November, wow! 2 primetime scifi shows on ABC

in the same season........ Hmmm... Maybe because NBC and Heroes, I thought Heroes was go for first 2 seasons and then started to suck after

the 3rd.

Let's hope this doesn't happen with Flashforward.

The writer's strike killed Heroes.

I wish someone can give me a brief rundown on what Lost is about. I've tried to watch the show many times but it so boring and stupid that I feel like killing myself for trying. Flash Forward is nowhere the same as Lost. I don't understand many people's mentality. I thought Lost is a show about a bunch of people got trapped on some stupid island while trying to find a way home. And Flash Forward is science-fiction type of movie. What are the similarities that I miss? I loved Flash Forward. The show is awesome. Lost got me so lost. I don't get it. Someone wanna fill me in on something I don't know?

This was quite a good start to the season :) I liked it; I do however wonder how they are going to make this idea last longer than a season, I think this will just get boring after the first season.

@Krome,

- Lost is a sci-fi tv show (time jumps, the island is not stupid at all but actually intelligent, smoke monster, ...) well known for the huge effort put on very small details and for the dedication of it's fans (huge forums, theories, frame-by-frame watching, ...). Lost starts with the same scene as FF, only with an island instead of LA and a plane instead of cars. Lost also puts the viewer in the same situation as the "victims", so during the progression you are as clueless as them (that's maybe what's making it boring for you).

- Well there are other Lost specificities but I think those are the main ones that can be also applied to FF (oh, and FlashForwards are also a key element on Lost). I honestly think that if you liked FF there is no way you won't like Lost as the feeling is very similar, especially if you prefer character-driven stories to action-driven ones. But hey, tastes ... :p

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
