Flash in the pan?
"Hello. Is that my agent? I may have a gap coming up in my schedule."
ABC have reportedly called a time out on FlashForward but maintain they are not pulling the plug, even though ratings are plummeting and the exec producer Marc Guggenheim has jumped ship.
They claim the six day break was built into the schedule to give the writers a chance to rest their creative brains and keep quality standards high.
Every little helps but it is worrying sign that, right from the start, they didn't feel confident that they could sustain the torpor, sorry, tension across an entire series without taking a comfort break.
Perhaps they've already had their own flashforward and seen the future of the series is looking about as healthy as Noh's.
