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.

      You can use MCT to create an updated ISO and then use Rufus to create the bootable USB.

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
