Once again Roth & Dennis we tend to see things in a similar light. Yet, I think you're probably a more patient viewer than I. FflashForward is really beginning to irritate me now. Maybe it's because I was never a person who believed that "there's a reason for everything" but I came close to wanting to throw a book at the tv last week. And that's usually a sign that I'll stop watching. I could so care less about a majority of the characters right now because I think they're all so incredibly stupid for being so self-centered. Once they lose me as potential protagonists – I turn the channel. And that's exactly what happened. (Well – I should clarify that – I hit stop on the DVR copy of it and erased it.) I'm not sure I'll be recording it next week. I hate having to work too damn hard to be entertained and this show has become tediously hard work. One thing I do know – I'll continue to watch your reviews of it!
Thanks Terilynn! Yeah after a strong start, the show isn't living up to the potential. I will still be watching, as there a few storylines that I am invested in, and hope to see some resolution this season. Hopefully it gets better and you can start watching again without feeling like work (that's how I feel about Heroes).

Thanks Terilynn
! I heard from one of our trusted ThinkHero community members Elizabeth that the book is quite good – so I am going to check that out. I understand your frustration! Perhaps it is even more frustrating when the potential for something good is there and isn't quite hitting the mark. What are you enjoying this season? Thanks again – it's always great to hear form you so thanks for tuning in 
and chatting with us!

Roth you're totally right this show jut isn't delivering yet still worth watching hopefully there's some umph coming to this show.
Hey Lopedog33!
Thanks for commenting! Yes the show does seem to have a lot of potential – let's see what happens in the next few weeks – sometimes shows turn a huge corner around the mid-season mark and get really good! Thanks again for commenting! Hope you are great!

My Point about Ep 4 "Black Swan"A few min's into the show we go back to the original black out. The scene in a city park, we see a bus which has lost control go into a large pond. The people on the bus have blacked out. The Bus fills u…p quickly but in an instant the bus is at a depth of at least 30ft plus, and this Bus went over the bank into a pond in a City Park ! Ponds are not 30ft from the edge not even in the middle. If it went over the end of a Pier into the Sea this would be plausible. The whole story thread was stupid with the character Ned in his leather trousers saying he was African American in a night club in his Flash forward. I Just didn't believe any of this. It was like a Monty Python sketch had been inserted into it this episode. I needed to vent my spleen about this. Look forward to seeing next week.
Your right about the water! Don't know why I didn't think of it – I grew up in a city with ponds like that too…
Yeah – I really didn't like the bar scene either. We read that they replaced the show runner so – we'll see where it goes from here…
Thanks for commenting!
All The Best!

That is true, I never thought of that about the depth of the pond/lake. Don't know the exact depth but the bus did look more like it was in the ocean than a lake.
Keep letting us know what you think, and hopefully this coming episode is more like the pilot episode.
