WORF
The Burninator
in Zocalo v2.0
Did anyone else watch this?
The first episode was good and seemed like an interesting concept. I'm curious to see where it goes.

Well, we'll have to just wait and see how it's going to unfold.

It's yet another apocalyptic show that starts off strong but with nowhere else to go but down will eventually get cancelled. Enjoy it while it lasts. :D
And no, I don't watch this, suprise suprise, and I don't really watch much of anything these days.

I miss Jericho.
Couldn't agree with you more on Jericho.
One of the funnier moments was when [SP]the FBI chief had to give mouth to mouth resuscitation to a colleague who was drowning with his face stuck in a urinal during the black-out. I mean this could actually happen, right?[/SP] :D
The show isn't that bad actually. I suppose this has more to do with the proven who-done-it formula which is at work here than Braga being particularly original. So far the show hasn't turned out into yet another [I]X-Files[/I] spin-off like [I]Fringe[/I].
- The third episode could be considered a filler episode, a lot of character development but little in the way of overall plot evolution. At several instances I almost feared the show might actually turn into a day-time soap. And guess what, a former Nazi got embedded into the plot. I bet no one saw that coming. ;)
- The fourth episode is yet another filler episode with more character development and how they cope (or don't) with their visions. This time we get some medical drama peppered in. I was expecting Dr. Crusher to burst into the OR but she never materialized. Another "Lost" actor makes his appearance though... which I guess we'll be seeing more of, but this time without his guitar. :D
As expected this show is coming down to its cruising altitude after having started off in LEO. It's watchable, but don't expect to be sitting on the edge of your seat at any time. At least [I]Fringe[/I] has Walter to supply the comic relief. FlashForward is taking itself a wee bit too seriously IMHO.

Episode 6 is starting to develop the dark side of the plot from the perspective of the villains. As mentioned earlier Dominic Monaghan plays a bad guy and I can't help but see Charlie Pace from [I]Lost[/I] who played Merry in [I]LotR[/I]. He's suffering from the Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill syndrome. Mark Hamill managed to shake that image off and is doing a great job as the voice of The Joker in recent Batman projects. I suppose Monaghan should be able to do so in time but for now, he's still playing himself, this time as a surfer boy in a suit. :D
I don't buy him as a villain, nor as a mad scientist. He might as well be wearing a cheerleader outfit. It would be just as effective.
The show grows on me as I watch it and I hope it will last longer than half a season.
Oh you will...you will. heh heh heh.
Funny moment, an FBI agent wearing a "The Police" sweat shirt. :D
Also, why do people who have nothing left to loose end up in a secret S&M night club? Those writers need to get their heads examined.
I'm really looking forward to learning more of the story behind why the experiment occurred and how it loops back to the flashes.
This is B-worthy material. Not bad at all for only six episodes in.
The future is looking promising for this show as well if they can keep people watching.
I did like the social commentary part of this episode about women on the job. Japan is probably not the only country which has problems shaking its old habits.
It's not a bug, it's a feature...
