    I watched the first series - much better shows on TV than this, glad they cancelled tbh! It ended up being a show I'd watch every week in the chance it got better.

    If you need a time travelling fix then I recommend Journeyman. Although naturally enough that was also cancelled.

    SPOLIER ALERT - don't read if you've not seen the last episode of FF yet!!
    Can somebody please explain to me what actually happened at the end of the last episode of FF? It was a series that I'm not sure I ever really knew what was going on! What was the Charlie thing all about? Is Mark dead?
    What was happening to Janis in the wheelchair?
    What happened to Dimitri and the other guy from Lord of the Rings?

    The whole ending screams at me cliffhanger finale; preparing the way for season 2 which we now know will never come.
    To be honest, the only way they could have strung this show out was by having another blackout(which they did) but this would have got very old, very fast.
    I watched every episode and don't care who died or was responsible for the blackout but I still don't know the purpose behind it. In fact come to think of it, it was only a flashforward for some of them as the future had clearly changed in some circumstances.
    Maybe they could have extended the series for another episode or two to answer these questions but no more i.m.o

    I do hope you are kidding!! SU is a travesty, just hoping to plod along on the back of a successful franchise. I've taken off of my Sky+. The characters are awful.I kept watching in the hope that something interesting would happen or that I would actually start caring about whether any of the characters live or die.

    How can they commission another series of this rubbish, especially when they cancelled the excellent Firefly after 10 shows.

    ...and is it just me, or does anyone else get fed up with the 'previously, on...' catch-ups at the start of every show. Do the networks think that its' audience all suffer from short-term memory loss!?

    I've stuck with Stargate Universe in the woeful hope it will get better.

    NOTHING happens... those stupid stones used as an excuse not to have any special effects!!

    I'm sticking with it like an idiot, nothing is going to happen, but I have come this far....

    Agree with that. I am an avoid Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis fan. But Universe is appaling. Each storyline goes on for 1-3 episodes and doesn't actually take anything forward!

    I'm still giving SU more time...but have to agree so far it's not a parch on SG-1 or Atlantis. And SG-1 could teach Lost more than a little about last episodes.

    America keeps cancelling series I like..Invasion...Threshold...they'd better do another series of Fringe, and House.

    here is an interesting snippet for you, Flash Forwards official Facebook group, run by five, posted this on Thursday:
    If you missed the FlashForward finale, you missed out. But for all the people that very sweetly asked if we could show it again (and a couple of the rude ones that shouted at us) you can see the spectacle at Midnight on Monday. And let us know what you think of it, because we're thinking hard about what we're going to do next. Email flashforward@five.tv

    Note the part in red, could five really recomission and film it itself?
