ABC halts 'FlashForward'

Production stopped to 'boost writing'

ABC has temporarily halted production on sci-fi drama "FlashForward."

Stoppage came last week and continues through the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Shooting will start again on Monday with episode 13.

An Alphabet spokesman says the move was built in to the schedule from the beginning of the season and was positioned early on to "boost the writing. ? They want to maintain the high quality of the show, and this gives the writers the opportunity to do so."

Series, about how the world's population deals with knowing how its future will be played out, stars Joseph Fiennes and Sonya Walger.

Ratings for the ABC Studios skein started strongly on Sept. 24, but have come down in subsequent weeks in its 8 p.m. Thursday timeslot. Opening night earned a 4.0 rating/12 share in adults 18-49, with 12.4 million viewers. Last week's episode -- the eighth of the season -- drew a 2.4/7 and 8 million viewers.

David S. Goyer, Brannon Braga, Marc Guggenheim and Jessika Borsiczky are exec producers.

FlashForward is taking a step back.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that ABC has temporarily shut down production on the rookie drama. The move comes a month after the departure of co-showrunner, Marc Guggenheim, and less than a week after FlashForward hit a new ratings low.

An Alphabet spokesperson confirms the shutdown, but is quick to note that the show?s schedule was designed to accommodate such breaks. ?They started production early so that they could have the luxury to do this,? says the rep. ?They want to maintain the high quality of the show, and this gives the writers the opportunity to do so.?

FlashForward?s lull won?t be nearly as long as the month-long creative hiatus ABC imposed over at V. The Alphabet rep says FF ? which airs its mid-season finale on Dec. 3 ? will resume production on Monday after just a six-day break.

    • Louis Rossmann suing Samsung over "990 Pro SSD warranty scam"

      But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)

      He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
