This always makes me twitch

I know these things are increasingly common but I still get a little nervous any time a series - in this case FlashForward - shuts down production mid-season. I know it says that it is pre-planned but it still gives that window of opportunity for some cancellation-crazed executive to pounce (or at least to start interfering in the writing process). Let's hope that is one of those "good" breaks and that FlashForward does indeed come back refreshed and renewed.
