“On October 6, The planet blacked out for two minutes and seventeen seconds, The whole world saw the future. ” This two sentence long statement was first uttered on September 24, 2009 and now 8 months later FlashForward is ending it’s often confusing and at times engaging run. As much as I want to be mad at ABC for cancelling the series, after saying goodbye to Lost this past Sunday the most I can muster is an annoyed feeling. Because let’s face it as much as I have come to like the show since it came...

Well, that’s it folks! It’s finished, have you stopped crying yet? I get choked up just thinking of it again. It was still as wonderful as I had expected. Since we started this season with a video review for the season premiere, and in keeping with the theme of LOST coming full circle, we had to end the season and series with a video review. I would love to continue talking to everyone about your thoughts on The End. It’s been so great and such a pleasure talking about a show I truly love and obsess over. The...

It’s official Pilot season is over. Well what we have come to know as Pilot season anyways. With the way television works now new shows are being made year round, but that is another story. Some believe that the new television season begins in September, but they would be wrong. It actually begins in May when the networks go in front of advertisers and map out their new seasons. As the years go on what is known as Upfronts have gotten bigger and more outlandish. But the bottom line is that no one, not the...

How ironic is it that the next to the last episode of FlashForward should be titled “Countdown”? This past week we learned that FF had been cancelled and what a shame that has turned out to be. After an admittedly shaky start it has grown to be a solid, fun show that has interesting twists, turns, and characters. But as it would seem the BMOC over at ABC feel that V is a better show and more deserving of a second season. I wonder if any one at ABC is even watching that show? In my humble opinion it sucks something awful,...

This is just what television needs, another cop show. Don’t we have enough cop shows on the air? I mean really how many times can we see a bad guy arrested? Apparently at least once more and well folks any cop show that uses The Fratelli’s within the first 2 minutes is a show I can get behind. But seriously folks after 44 minutes of pornstashe, the only opinion I came away with was it’s good. Not great. Not bad. Good. Now I don’t mean you shouldn’t check it out yourself, you...

Wow! They really didn’t leave much room for questioning. Jacob finally dished the goods, more people died and Jack now has magical powers! It’s always been about Jack, and I loved that they announced a candidate now instead of making us wait until the very end. This show is starting to come full circle and make you feel all warm and gooey inside. The episode started with Jack stitching up Kate’s wound, which is coming full circle to the pilot episode in which Kate stitches up Jack after the crash. Locke tells...

I have sad news to report, although I am sure you probably know by now; FlashForward has been cancelled. Oh it isn’t official, but you know how these things work. Two weeks from tonight will be the last episode ever. Unless of course they decide to do a 2 hour made for television movie that wraps everything up. I can only hope that the creators and writers saw the writing on the wall months ago and were able to wrap things up. To this day I haven’t forgiven Rob Thomas for the way he ended Veronica...

Spoiler Alert: Tonight answered a few questions, but made a few more as well. Things answered tonight: Why does MiB want to leave the island, is he really evil, how did he become the smoke monster, where did Jacob come from and what is his beef with MiB? I was sure that because we see the birth of Jacob and MiB as twins on the island, that we might get some explanation as to why women can’t have babies on the island, but no.
So the first thing I want to jump into is this mother figure that raised Jacob and MiB; she...

I am pretty sure the universe didn’t want me to do a write up on last night’s episode. I could come up with a million reasons as to why I wasn’t able to do it sooner; computer issues, life in general, I thought my house was going to be hit by an asteroid….you know the normal excuses. But the truth is nothing about last night’s episode stood out for me and when that happens my mind goes in to mental lock down. I thought about waiting until I could come up with a normal write up, but it...

Spoiler Alert: How can this be?! People are dying and it’s starting to sink in that this show is coming to an end. I don’t like it, not one bit. However, I loved this episode, I was totally crying, I’ll admit it. In the alt world, we have Locke coming out of surgery with Jack as his doctor and Jack is trying to persuade Locke to do an elective surgery that may make him walk again. Locke doesn’t want the surgery though, he wants to punish himself for what he did to his Dad. I knew that the reason for him...

Oooh, after a dismal episode last week (not the episode itself mind you, just the fact that for the life of me I couldn’t get past a severe case of writer’s block) I am back baby. I don’t know why last week’s episode did little to inspire me in the way of the pen, but it didn’t. Luckily that was then and this is now. The FlashForward I have come to know and love came back with a twist and turn of vengeance. Even the story lines and characters that usually make me want to hit the...

I have a secret for which I am about to share. As well as being a huge fan of television I am also a major reader. It is not considered abnormal for me to start and finish 5 or 6 books a month, sometimes more. No that isn’t the secret. The secret is that sometimes when I get really into a story, and I am talking so engrossed that I stay up all night reading page after page that I can hardly bear to wait to finish, I will scan ahead just to find out if it is going where I think it is going. Because you see...

Jack, didn’t anyone tell you, the first rule of The Island is ‘Don’t talk to John Locke.’ And the second rule of The Island is ‘DON”T talk to John Locke.’ So it seems that the last recruit is Jack. He spoke with Locke about Smokey posing as his Dad on the island, when he knew he was dead. That was interesting to hear. Locke says it was to help them to water and that all he’s ever wanted was to get them off the island that Jacob dragged them to and now won’t let them leave...

Happy Town is a new series on ABC by creators Josh Appelbaum, Scott Rosenberg, and
Andre Nemec (October Road & Life On Mars) set in the small town of Haplin, Minnesota
(or Canada but we arent supposed to know that) where the townspeople have more secrets
than the CIA. I have to hand it to ABC they are not shying away from Serial Dramas,
even though they tend to be a bit of a gamble. Because let’s face it the general public
tends to like their shows wrapped up in a neat little package in 48 minutes. For some
reason...

This is it folks. Does Demetri die or not? Who tries to kill him? Does it even matter that in alt world it has been almost a month since he should have died? Damn long hiatus. Finally the seeds of the story they planted oh those many months ago are finally coming together. Remember when we found out that Aaron’s daughter Tracy was really alive and was on the run from Jericho? Well as it would seem Assistant Director Stanford Wedeck is finally getting something more to do than walk around the FBI office...
