Pleasant and unpatronising
Abandoned ship after the third hour. Rather roast my own nuts over a bonfire.

What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
Good call. Nights will be getting cold soon.

The wife (who has been a supporter despite my moans) has now given up on this too. We are switching to Monday Dollhouse.

Why why why am I still watching this?
The only good bit was the VO guy at the end with his "whaaaa"
You want to prove you can change the future? Cut your arms off. You had arms in your flash-forward right? Get a really bad tattoo on your face, don't jump off a building FFS.
Or even better rationalize that if everyone knew about the flash forward day then everyone would be waiting for it all over the world. How many people ignored the fact it was flash forward day in their flash forwards? Everyone. The whole world forgot? No. . . and anyway that would be a paradox and therefore impossible.

Step away from the harmless but shit television series now, Mr. Suplex. Before your wife starts making discrete phone calls to the Maudsley.

Shes the one that's spurring me on. Shes like a pusher. You know for the bad stuff.

What if the fatal accident he ends up causing is a result of not having arms?

Dur. Did he have arms in the flash forward? Yes. If he removes his arms he has changed the future. Also he is not going to be able get to his phone so easily so he wouldn't have found out about the woman who died during his 2.17 leap and wouldn't have wanted to kill himself or indeed cut off his arms. Do you see the paradox? That's why the flash forwards could never have been the future.
I am glad at least they have settled this.

anyone still watching this? did it get any better?
Mr Moose

Yes and reading the book, which benefits from the Flashfurwads being 21 years hence and being a Joseph Fiennes free zone. I knows it's sometimes dreadful tosh, but the idea is good. John Wyndham would have done it beautifully. And politely.

I mean can his brother not give him a tip or two? Surely looking shocked isn't equivalent in acting to having greivous piles...

Apart from the bit where everyone fainted in the first episode that has been the only bit that seemed at all interesting. Even my wife is shouting at the TV now and she used to get angry at me so much for moaning about FF.
Fucking rubbish stuff for a mid season cliff hanger. I think I am going to just leave it now. I can't see how they can drag this shit out for four seasons.
