My DVRs Flash Forwarded to a Thursday without FlashForward

Flash Forward

On Thursday November 19, 2009 at 9:00pm every DVR in my house blacked out for .0000275 seconds and  flash forwarded to  December 3, 2009.  The DVRs saw a  future that didn't include FlashForward.  Despite perhaps having its best character introduced in the November 19 episode, the DVRs all saw a future that didn't include FlashForward on any of my DVRs.

Can that future be changed?   Can the influence of Australian and other international torrents loosed on the world and reports that tonight's episode is the best episode since the pilot change the fate of my DVRs?

My DVR's vision didn't include anything that would preclude a glimpse of FlashForward on Hulu, but I look forward to reading what everyone who watched thought about tonight's episode.

    The November 19 episode about Bryce and Keiko (the Japanese girl) was brilliant! My favourite episode yet! I hope tonight’s episode is just as good.

    I’m a curmudgeon, so take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve already seen tonight’s episode via torrent, and I thought it was hands down the worst episode of the season. If ABC thinks this episode is going to reverse the trend, I want to work at ABC, because the break room must have a really solid hash bar in it.

    Again, my brain is obviously all screwed up to still be watching this show, but that is an issue for me and my shrink. It doesn’t, however, mitigate the fact that this show blows very large chunks. I just wish ABC would pull the plug, because I cannot seem to do so myself.

    Hello, I am Schmoker, and I am science fiction addict.

    Second most entertaining post ever after the Magic 8-Ball post. I love you, Robert!

    (Flashforward? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) ;)

  5. Wait, what? Are you saying FlashForward is on tonight or not?

    As much as I appreciate intelligent television, this show falls flat in compelling characters and compelling storytelling. The new character is terrific, but is too little too late to improve and save the show and its ever declining viewership. My flashforward to September 2010 does not have FlashForward in it.

    The episode is crap. What Benford did in Hong Kong is totally ridiculous. I’m like Schmoker, I continue to watch, but I fully agree with him that this show blows very large chunks.

    I really enjoy this show I like the charactrs the mystery I don’t like finished up stories ala CBS shows. I hope it stays around for a long while. Name something better done? ncis la? Please, I like a little challenge.

    Tonights episode is awesome, sure there are some badly written scenes, but overall it is a great indicator of what the show will be like with David goyer running it, he wrote tonights episode

  10. In my flash forward I saw that Smallville, Supernatural, Castle, Legend of the seeker, VP, DH, NCIS:LA, and FF were in its next season and that I was watching it with my girlfriend and doing IT at the same time. :)

    Best episode since the pilot!

    It erased itself from my DVR too. Strange. I double checked the program guide and it’s new, so I caught it in time.

  13. Rob

    not coming back until march. that’s odd

  14. J.G.

    Yeah, that hiatus just killed the show. No way they’re gonna squeeze 15 shows between March and May without at least three two-hour episodes.

  15. Tony

    Returning in March 2010?!!?!?! When the preview said coming March 2010. I was like what? that has to be a mistake! lol

  16. Christian

    Okay did no one but me notice the return date, March 2, is a Tuesday?! It looks like FF is getting the post-Lost slot and V is moving to Thursdays at 8!

  17. Tony

    Christian – where did u see March 2? All I saw was March 2010

  18. J.G.

    Actually it’s gonna go FlashForward/Lost/V with Happy Town taking Thursdays @ 8.

  19. Tony

    J.G. – what about DWTS? That returns in March too.

    Is Dancing being shortened to 1 day?
