US Timeline FlashForward : Season 1

Original thread for reference: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/23...shforward.html

What did people think of this week's episode, "The Gift"?

After, IMO, a drop in quality since the Pilot, I think this was much better than the last few episodes.

I really was expecting that Agent to be saved from suicide at the last minute (either that, or he would, by some freakish & ironic situation, actually land on Celia after jumping, breaking his fall & killing her...

), so I was quite surprised that he *did* actually die. Now we know that the future is not fixed, the things that people saw in their FlashForwards *can* be prevented.

I'm enjoying it. Looking at the ratings though, it's not doing so well. So hopefully it improves a lot. The last 2 weeks have been the lowest it's had. I've just had a look at the ratings for each episode and it's certainly getting lower ratings each week which is a shame.

When I first started to watch this I wasnt enammered with the first 2 episodes. After reading the book and discovering the simularities end at the title I thought it was going to be a total waste of bandwidth. But I perservered and I am totally immersed in flashforward.

That's pathetic!

Well since the ratings are getting lower for every episode, ABC has to think about what to do.

We might not have to wait that long. If the genius arrogant genius bloke is right we only have to wait a couple of weeks for the LHC to do its stuff.

Its partly because ABC doesnt want to have to compete with the 2010 Winter Olympics (on in February on NBC).

**Matt D** · 06-12-2009, 00:09

Yup. V (also ABC) isn't back on either until after the Winter Olympics.

The second half of season 1 starts up on ABC on Thursday 18th March, with episode 11 "Revelation Zero (Part 1)".

**Paul M** · 17-03-2010, 00:55

They are actually showing 11 & 12 (Revelation Zero Part 1 & Part 2).

It was a pretty good first hour and an excellent second hour. It actually gives us quite a few answers!

did not expect that....

**Paul M** · 13-04-2010, 22:47

or me ......

I found it annoying.

Janice is IMO one of the few likeable characters. And now they've gone all "24" & done a "mole twist".

I'd really like more time on the main plot, & less time on Cancer Doctor, Japanese Girl, & Cancer Doctor's Wannabe Doctor Friend.
