FlashForward – The Garden of Forking Paths

Season 1, episode 16

FlashForward The Garden of Forking PathsWhile Mark and the other agents search for the missing Demetri, Zoey learns the price she’ll have to pay to save him. Meanwhile, Olivia discovers who sent her the text message about Mark’s drinking.

Battlestar Galactica’s James Callis (Gaius Baltar) appears in this episode as Gabriel McDow, a man with photographic memory.

December 2016 The End – FlashForward has given us a date beyond 2010; is this the end game? Do the makers themselves see the show running for another four years? I bloody hope not!

Seriously, the show is cool and worth watching right now because I think it’s a story that can be told in one or, two seasons – max! To drag it on beyond this would be wrong, long and boring.

It would just be a chain yank for three and a half years with deliverables on the final handful of episodes. Four years down the line we’ll be wondering why they didn’t say it all in season one or two. I accept that some shows are only made to have one season (Day Break). The season is long enough to tell some good stories and have a conclusion that makes sense and satisfies the audience. FlashForward is one of those shows.

Then there are shows out there that start off with a great premise drag it on for four/five years and end up losing sight of the story they started to tell. I hope the makers of FlashForward understand that this shouldn’t be a long haul series if they want to keep it great.
