Episode was great. And they canceled the show few weeks ago.. great job, ABC!

There are no signs that they will even do movie to wrap up the story.

I tried watching that show with my wife, watched several episodes but gave up on it just before they put it on hiatus.

Loved the show. Got decent ratings. They kept V and cancelled this. Dumb idea..but it is ABC.

It seemed to indicate they were seeing things 5 years in the future.

Seriously? They didn't wrap anything up? Stupid.

Agreed, V should have been canceled instead. This wasn't great, but it was certainly better.

They probably were cancelled after the finale was filmed. I'm guessing most networks won't spring for the cost of filming a possible series ending scene that may never be shown.

There is always some chance another network will pick up the show. And what they did write gives them the opportunity to explain away stars who may not return.

btw the doctor is some kind of *sshole. He has the hot babe, and he treats her like dirt for a woman who saw in a dream for like 3 minutes. And instead of staying with her to try and prevent her from drowning like she saw in her flash forward he goes to be with Yoko.

Im hoping Sci Fi picks it up but im sure thats a long shot. No one else will pick it up cause its not a cop show.

it's a pretty cut and dry decision when you compare their ratings.

Flashforward was getting beat by The CW for crying out loud.

Eh. Syfy won't pick it up. It's not wrestling.

btw the best ending would have been Charlie holding up his hand with "Not Penny's Boat" on it.

They really have pushed V over the entire season but I didn't see the same ad campaign for Flash Forward. Oh well, I didn't watch either show. The networks are too quick to cancel a drama after one season so I don't try to start watching until the second season. Yes, it's a vicious cycle, but the networks started it.

FF sucked some serious ass. I watched the first 5 eps and it was obvious they were trying to be "the next Lost". But the show was lame.

I liked it, sucks it got canceled. For me it's a toss up between this and V but I would have to go with V since sci-fi is harder to come by these days.

FF was pretty interesting. The writing was good and bad at the same time. It had a lot of holes, but the plot was interesting and the storyline moved at just the right pace. I'm pretty sad that the show ended without a definite ending.

Nice, scratch down another canceled TV show I've followed that has no ending. I wanted to know if the cop made the Matrix Morpheus jump to the helicopter (prob not)

Well there are still those reality shows, you know... Competitive Macramé with Retired Animal Stars... Dancing with Sea Monkeys... Are You Smarter Than a Reality Show Host..

I liked this show and Happy Town, and they both got nuked. Much easier to 'write' those 'reality' shows. God I fucking hate reality shows. I want to go on one, take a bottle of ipecac about 20 minutes before show time and let go.

This would be a your fault situation. It's been defacto cancelled since about episode 7. If not for several other shows on the network crashing even harder and getting scrapped midseason this would have never even been approved for a full season run.

This show was pretty terrible, it didn't deserve to come back.

I did watch the entire season hoping it would get better but the plot holes, and horrible acting were quite sub-par so I can understand it not being renewed.

I honestly never cared about ANY of the characters.....they never built a connection to the viewer.
