[Cancelled] FlashForward - Season 1


Recommended Posts

Thank the gods it wont be back next year.

Apart from the special effects for the first episode, the season has been nothing but lack-lusture.

then why did you keep watching :p I love it when people say stuff like this makes me wonder why they continued to watch if they didn't like :blink:

For me, its usually shows I'm invested in already. Like Smallville. Or Heroes. Started good, so I put in 30 hours (or more like 3 seasons on Smallville) before they go down the tubes.

Have to see it through to the end. Now, that doesn't mean I'm going to watch it as soon as it airs, like I do with shows I still enjoy, but I'll eventually watch all the episodes.

oh I am opposite, I don't really care how long I put into the show the moment it starts losing my interest I ditch it.

Its same with me. Some of the episodes in the previous season of Heroes put me to sleep, yet I persisted with it because I was invested.

Anyway, FF is really rocking atm. Loved the previous episode. Hopefully the finale will offer some semblance of closure.

To be a little more specific on the date, the final episode will be on the 27th. I hope the final episode is at least decent/good for us fans, if not, it would be cool (but doubtful) of ABC to order up one or so more to close the show. Since some idiot(s) could not give it just one more season.

Season 1, Episode 21 "Countdown" Airing: 5/20/2010

Season 1, Episode 22 "Future Shock" Airing: 5/27/2010

Awesome! Thanks. Got yourself a + as well.. but to others out there.. I won't hand them out this fast to often. ;)

oh I am opposite, I don't really care how long I put into the show the moment it starts losing my interest I ditch it.

I will give a show I've put more time into a little more leeway but in the end I'm the same as you. Especially if I feel like it's going down hill and they do something really stupid. A kind of last straw type of thing.

Doubtful. They already filmed the episodes.

Just because they have already filmed the episodes does not mean they can not film another one. Sure this is unlikely but they could order one more episode to wrap it up more for us, if episode 22 does not give it enough closer or if especially it was cliffhanger. They could of already filmed an episode in case it did get canceled early too. I could be wrong on this but I believe Lost was always ready if the show got canceled to give us a "proper" ending. I know some shows have a plot or ending written out already in case of this and/or networks film an ending if it indeed gets canceled too early. Of course we almost never see this anyways but in one way or another it has sort of happened. Just look at Jericho, though I do know that was the community that was able to bring the show back just a little longer to give us some resolution (not that we did not want more).

But this is still doubtful to get done by ABC. Since if anyone watched Defying Gravity last year, ABC screwed that TV show and never aired the rest of the shows and pulled them off their site and Hulu. They were only aired in Canada on SPACE and then released on DVD. So I can only imagine ABC just does not care, as no network really does. TV networks such as FX and USA have a better chance of a show not getting canceled in its first season or later then ABC, NBC, etc do. Which is why I love those networks more and some of their shows.

we probably should of seen the writing on the wall when they cut the episodes down from 24 to 23 and then a week or so later down to 22 :unsure:

Goyer said he had 3 seasons of stuff already on paper but then of course he left...seeing a pattern here? :crazy:

Sonya Walger has admitted that the upcoming finale of FlashForward will leave several questions unanswered.

The show was recently cancelled by ABC, meaning that it will not return for a second season.

Walger, who plays Olivia, admitted that the series' abrupt end means that some things about it will remain mysterious.

"There's some closure to it," she told E! Online. "But there's an awful lot left unexplained."

Well, isn't that just dandy! [/sarcasm] I just hate ABC right now. I'm going to be reluctant to get into another series on that network from now on.

They all do it. Its the reason I try not to watch the first season of a show anymore. But FF I had to, since I loved the book.

Kings last season on NBC was worse.

Defying Gravity ... argh.

I hate it too.

This is true, but it just seems ABC has been doing it more lately, at least for shows I like. But maybe it's just because they are hitting on my shows more then the other networks making it appear to be more to me. You are right though.. all of them do it. That's a good idea about not watching till the 2nd season too. I have done that with lots of other series even longer. Like Criminal Minds I let go until this year and watched them all on other networks until I was caught up. It's very kewl to watch several seasons of a show back to back, well more or less.

I miss that show!

'Flashforward' finale 'blew cast away'

FlashForward star Jack Davenport has claimed that the final two episodes of the show are "fantastic".

The series was cancelled by ABC earlier this month but Davenport, who plays Lloyd Simcoe, promised that it will end on a high note.

"The last [two] episodes are pretty fantastic," he told Entertainment Weekly. "We were all blown away when we read them."

However, Davenport admitted that the show will not be able to conclude everything in the finale.

He said: "Do I think the story could have gone further? Sure. No-one intends to do [just] one season - especially not with a grand concepty show like this. I don't think it will be unsatisfying, but it will not answer all the questions. The [producers] had to be mindful that they may only get one season, so there are some satisfying wrap-ups."

FlashForward continues tonight at 8/7c on ABC in the US and on Monday at 9pm on Five in the UK.

Waste of my time watching this!! Thought this show was great as well, shame it had to end so soon but what can you do? Same with Sarah Connor Chronicles :(

I agree, I really really got into that show, but was afraid it wouldn't last from the very beginning. People just don't seem to get these type of shows. I don't really know how V is surviving. But I'd be willing to bet it's not got a long future either. Some shows like the new Bionic Women one (can't remember what it was called now) deserved to be shut down. That one just plan didn't work well. I liked certain parts, but even I stopped watching it before it was canceled.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline.
