I have just finished watching FlashForward, Season One , Episode 22 (FutureShock) and I really really loved the episode which, conversely, has now made me really angry with the whole series (and I never get angry, especially over TV!!).
I went into this episode knowing full well that the show had been cancelled weeks earlier, however what you come away with is a load of hooks that have you excited begging(!) for the second series, when you know full well there’s not going to be one!! I wish that ABC would at least commission another two episodes, just to try to tie up a few of the looser ends, leave some less-raw hooks to the storyline and to give a few more answers/a sense of resolution.
Without doubt, a really marvellous episode that made me appreciate the series as a whole. The alignment was really beautifully done, and I did shed the odd tear here and shout the odd ‘OMG’ at the TV there heh.
Here’s the last two minutes of the programme:
——– SPOILERS ——— SPOILERS ——— SPOILERS ———
If, like me, you’re loving the music, it’s The Funeral by Band of Horses.
Finally, a bit of ‘Did you know?‘ trivia – there’s an image contained in the title credits for each episode that gives some clue as to what each episode is about! 😀
FlashForward will be released on DVD in the UK at the end of September 2010 – many online retailers are already taking pre-orders, and are retailing around the £35 price point.












I followed this to episode 10 in December and missed when the series continued in March. Did it turn out good then?

Yeah I reckon that it did – it lulled a little bit after it took the mid-season break but as we got closer and closer to the date, it got better and better! The last episode was so nicely done and fast paced!
Well worth watching the rest of the episodes imo (maybe see if Demand Five has them if you’re interested?) 🙂
