No-one told me flashforward was cancelled

Excellent!

No seriously, only just heard, ****... I know I didn't like the show, but damn, I though it'd get 2 seasons at-least.

And in other news I heard they canceled Heroes! YEEEEEEEESSSS!!! My Christmas wishes are coming true.

NBC announced the show's cancellation on May 14, 2010,[9] due to the high costs of production, diminished viewing and an increase in other programming.[10] However, it is looking into ways to conclude the storylines with a possible mini-series or movie,[11] which was confirmed by Kring in a message to its fans.

It was my understanding that it was pretty good, my brother will certainly be dissapointed. Although I heard the finale was pretty bad.

Flashforward - like Heroes - was a pretty awesome concept that started strong, but turned to absolute garbage relatively quickly.

 

[hot564231]

Don't forget it was executed poorly too.

Must've gone bad even faster, I was pretty cool with Heroes until the S1 finale.

S1 of heroes is excellent, but like you say the finale was pretty poor, and no wonder, it was written by Kring himself, a man that cant write himself out of a paper bag without generating large plot holes.

People quickly realized Flashforward sucked, ratings plummeted, it was canceled. So much for "THE NEXT LOST".

 

[Warped]

Loved the pilot and unfortunately it fell apart after that.

Wasn't that said about the Heroes too

 

[Lucid]

And now we're stuck with... V.

 

[Yorick]

Yeah Heroes Season 1 was just amazing - up until the finale.

And now we're stuck with... V.

Which also probably won't last very long.

 

[taviow]

Well, V was renewed for a 2nd season at least.

The end of Lost leaves an enormous gap in ABC's schedule. V and Flashforward were meant to fix that, both failed.

I remember watching this show until the black guy killed himself, breaking continuity and any hope of the show being even remotely interesting.

I kinda liked the start of Flashforward then I saw the second episode. All I can remember was that I liked the utility worker better than the main protagonist, and somebody asking the main guy "what did you see?". To which I replied to "you know, I don't give a shit" and that was the end of Flashforward for me.

For Heroes I kept wanting to see Sylar being a badass. The end of Season 1 I was like "that's stupid". From then on it was beating a dead horse till there was no horse left but the ground because it was beat so much. I mean Sylar went from good to bad about 6 times (like crying wolf) until he was good in the end. Character stories got royally screwed with, powers got really stupid, and characters were introduced and thrown away so quickly that sometimes the character would die in the same episode.

Matt Parkman had a relationship with a really fast running girl and I loved it. That is until he didn't like her as soon as he found out she had cerebral palsy which instantly told me this guy is a huge ****ing asshole. Then as soon as the eclipse is over, he tries to be with her again and it sorta works out for a time until a really sad ending to her story. Then later for no reason we find Matt is with his wife again with now a baby. Puts Sylar and Pete in a brick wall IN HIS OWN BASEMENT. He said it was for his family protection but honestly, in your own basement?!

Hiro was normal until the Season 1 ending. Then he started messing with time in the show to the point there was HUGE plot holes in the show. I mean he started messing with events in the past and I'm thinking "whatever happened, happened" as Faraday said on LOST. Then I think he cured a tumor he had from his dead mom in the afterlife. I have no f'ing clue how he managed to achieve this. His friend got some hero juice on him making him supercharge other heroes for a MAJOR fail ability.

They made Claire as a lesbian to somehow spice her character with a girl called "Gretchen Wretchen" who was bulimic in high school. Her relationship with her dad went almost completely to shit at the end making you hate the writers as he was one of the better actors and characters of the show.

The guy who made you forget things was never seen again but was replaced by a crack head in a carnival.

Our main hero guy could only borrow 1 ability at a time but somehow later for no reason could recall them. Love interest of a deaf woman who was a nurse student who also create energy blasts from music. Never evolved in a real relationship so fail part on producers.

The Indian still being the Hulk.

Woman who could turn into a bitch died in Season 1. They obviously f'd the character up so they cast the same character, said it was her twin sister and made things turn into ice and she can turn into water.

Samuel was the main villain at the end with lots of eyeliner, a Irish accent, and could move Earth and create massive earthquakes, etc. Pretty cool character who got arrested in the end for trying to take over the world and keep only special people to himself.

Hot tattoo back girl in the carnival was sniped.

That is a rough description of what happened to the billions of characters in the show. The show ended with the news cameras on Claire as she fell off a ferris wheel. She got up and shocked the world by revealing special people.

With V I have no clue why I'm still watching it. At the end of the season finally the alien overlord gets pissed and it looks like the second season will hopefully have an invasion. I mean the show so far has had lots of alien sex and boring moments. That's about it aside from starring Elizabeth Mitchel from LOST. Funniest thing though is people complaining how LOST ended, lol.

Time travel is a killer for all shows like this, including Lost.

It was fine for Hiro alone to do it, but as soon as future Peter arrived it started getting really dull. I don't think I made it past episode 4 of season 3.
