FlashForward Brain Breaker
Fact: I religiously avoid all previews. Be they for movies, televisions or et ceteras. You can ask my wife (Janine). I will actually close my eyes in public movie theaters during the Coming Soon trailers.
Fact: I watch FashForward. As days turn into weeks turn into months, this is increasingly becoming a sign of mediocrity, rather than clairvoyance, yet I persist.
Tangential Fact:Even though it's canceled, you're better off watching Defying Gravity. I know, it's crap right? Thats what you heard, right? Except after a mere five or eight episodes it transitions to full on blah. And it's awesome. I had a sick fascination with the entire run, which I make no appologies for. Seriously, I liked Defying Gravity. But I digress...
Punchline: So tonight, after watching FlashForward, they have the previews, which I pause the dvr and am about to delete... except my Janine says Don't you want to see the FlashForward of the FlashForward?
Denouement: I realized She Might Be Right!! I was stuck in a metaphysical quandary. Here I was "enjoying" a show predicated on the foreknowledge of future events. Would I actually increase my enjoyment by watching the previews? The remote was stuck in my hands for over a minute. I still have no good answer. What should I have done, gentle readers? What?!?!
Dear motherfucking god in heaven, WHAT?!?!?

I am less and less convinced that I can put up with Joseph Fiennes. When his daughter said, "Are you sad, daddy?" All I could think was, 'Yer goddamn rights, kid. None of us can tell, because he's a terrible actor.'
Yeah, He really didn't bother me at first, but two episodes ago he had a scene with his wife (Sonya Walger who I know from Lost) and I couldn't help but notice the difference in actor quality. She just seemed like a human being in that situation and he seemed like an actor who was "acting!" And I started to see what other people were complaining about.
