You don’t have to choose between Lost and FlashForward, Richard. Dump Heroes or Grey’s Anatomy and hop on the FF wagon.
Actually, I don’t watch Heroes or Grey’s Anatomy and already feel like I watch too much. But yeah, I’ll probably give in and start watching.
Or… you could read a book!
Like a novel, Dane? Oh wait, you’re only reading non-fiction right now!
Garr! You’re dead to me now, Alan. Someone just loaned me the sequel to Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s Shadow of the Wind and I have to let Michelle read it first, finish it, and sit for another couple weeks before I can even think of beginning it.
I’m liking FlashForward so far, though it assumes audience stupidity a bit too much for my taste (viewers can’t POSSIBLY remember the flashback/forward we showed twenty minutes ago, so let’s show it again!). The cast makes up for many of the weaknesses.
While not a huge fan of most sci-fi/fantasy, I generally go for time-themed programs. So, I like this. Though, I fear its impending cancellation.
p.s. Alan, you’ll be happy to know that I put down All the Pretty Horses in order to read Sergio Leone: Something to Do with Death and The Enigma of Japanese Power.
That totally does not make me happy.
Now maybe you’ll think twice before you mock my trauma.
