It's hard to talk about the science fiction drama 'FlashForward' (Thu., 8PM ET on ABC) without acknowledging the fact that they show has already been canceled. ABC intended the series to be a possible replacement for 'Lost,' but it never really caught on. Now, the show is coming to the end -- but will there be enough time to wrap everything up?[Spoiler alert.]
On the latest episode, we've finally reached the ominous date of April 29th. This is the day when everyone's visions of their future will at last catch up to them. Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) sits down and talks to his daughter about her fears of the future -- and her fears of his impending death.
Mark's daughter Charlie (Lennon Wynn) is worried that her dad will die. And so, Mark does his best to comfort her. "I need to ask you to do something for me," he says. " ... Don't be afraid. ... Everything will be okay, no matter what."
We can't be sure if Mark is right or not. There's no way to know if he will always be okay. But one thing is sure -- 'FlashForward' won't always be okay. In fact, it will only be around for one more episode. Do you think that the show will be able to resolve all its complex plot threads? Was it unfairly canceled before its time?
