FlashForward: flash in the pan?

I raved last week about FlashForward, the new ABC drama based on the premise the entire world (or maybe not) loses consciousness for  2 minutes and 17 seconds (give or take a second or two), an idea I found intriguing. It's based on the novel by Canadian science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer.

I couldn't wait for Episode 2 last night. Well, since I raved about it last week, I have to admit this latest offering was flat. It certainly dropped in the ratings and may not turn out to be the smash hit I thought it would be.  Let's hope the creators can pull it back - especially since Fringe is fast losing my interest too. There goes my Thursday night sci-fi fest.

And with that, have a good weekend!
