I'll probably keep watching Flash Forward just because hey, there's nothing else on on Monday nights here in the UK at that time but I doubt I'll be giving it much in the way of regular reviews. A shame because the premise was right up my street but...I'm just rather bored with it :(

This show's just about keeping me interested. I'm beginning to accept there's not going to be that much depth and that each week I'm going to be shouting at the TV about odd plot turns or what are apparently plot holes. But fortunately as a Heroes fan I can probably deal with whatever FF cares to chuck at me on this score.

On a totally different subject, I'd like to wish the happiest of birthdays to linaerys. Her wonderful Heroes stories, plus how engaging, friendly and kind her posts were where what spurred me to start making contact with people here on Livejournal. Have a good one, Lin!

HMNNNNNN. God, I have got to stop flinging myself so hard at shows that offer the slightest chance of me becoming fannish. The fact that everything is not ship shape in my present fandom doesn't make a new show appear just because I have a fandom shaped hole in my soul. After getting so excited about FF last week, I'm merely whelmed this week. What seemed like worrying signs last week were amplified this week. Stuff like EVERY little thing from the flash being shown to us again whenever a character sees it appear.( minor spoilers for episode two )

I am so very excited about FlashForward. I guess my geek heritage means I am always going to stop whatever I was doing with a screech of brakes and rush to look when told there's a show in which the whole world simultaneously blacked out and got a glimpse of their individual futures six months from now. And it seems that the producers have, amusingly but reassuringly promised that they totally know where it's ultimately going and aren't just making shit up on the fly. How refreshingly novel!

ETA: Urrrgh. The Heroes character for October on my office wall calendar is Sylar. That was NOT going to stand - no way was I going to spend a whole month having to gaze at THAT visage. Fortunately for me, I am spectacularly unorganised and for once it paid off because I still had last year's calander in the bottom of my filing cabinet.  So I just cut out the page featuring Nathan for last year and stuck it over Sylar's. Which seems kind of hideously appropriate for this season but at least it means the office scenery is prettier.
