Just finished watching The Event on DVD. In the end, I'm was very disappointed that it got cancelled

( and here is why - with many *SPOILERS* )

Even though it feels a little like V meets Lost meets FlashForward, I am interested by the two episodes of The Event that I have seen so far. The plot has had enough surprises that my curiosity is satisfied without having so many surprises that it becomes incoherent. Let's see if it can keep that balance going.

I finally got to watch the last 8 episodes of FlashForward off my DVR - you know, regardless of whatever else the viewing figures suggest, I thought this series got better as it went on. Fiennes and Monaghan between them (oh, and Cho too) did a great job of ramping the tension up and carrying the story along. I am really disappointed that the series got cancelled - I'm definitely going to be first in line on 20th October when it comes out on DVD here (and the new box art looks really good, imo).

I know it's a pointless campaign but I love the idea of recreating the blackout as a protest for FlashForward's cancellation.

FlashForward cancelled! Damn it!

It may not seem like much but at least FlashForward now appears on the EzyDVD site, admittedly still as a future release. Though not definitive, it is at least strongly suggestive of the fact that it will get released here.

The latest ratings for FlashForward continue to fall each week although the rate of descent has at least slowed a little!

It makes S2 all the less likely.

The nominations are up for this year's Hugo Awards - and under the category BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION - SHORT FORM, both Dollhouse Epitaph 1 and FlashForward No More Good Days are nominated.

FlashForward's ratings fell even further for its series return (and supposed re-launch. falling to its lowest ratings ever, according to Airlock Alpha. This does not bode well for its continued survival, I suspect!

Here's an excellent recap of FlashForward, ready for the re-launch after it's winter hiatus. I really hope this series picks up because I enjoyed the story at lot. I liked the pacing of the first episodes and intricacies of the story - but it appears that lots of people didn't.
