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.

    Are you still watching? I'm four weeks behind, and thinking that it's seeming more and more like a job.

    No, I think the hiatus kind of killed it for me. I did watch the the first two episodes back, and I thought the story was moving in a better, more confident direction, but then I didn't watch any more. Both FlashForward and V were stacking up on my PVR and I'd think how I should really watch them, and I just couldn't make myself hit play. A part of me wants to finish watching FlashForward (it doesn't sound likely it'll get an order for a second season) or at least make it to April when everyone flashforwards to, but I just can't muster the interest at the moment; which makes me tells me perhaps I shouldn't bother.

    Fringe is a really good alternative, if you aren't watching it. It's second season is about to end and so far it's been great. Definately like that one.

    Breaking Bad is in no way similiar to Fringe or FF, but it is absolutely the best thing on television right now.

    I've heard good things about Fringe. Mostly from the double-b. Maybe I'll have to look into that one.

    I've thought about Breaking Bad. I really have.
