Has anyone read the book the show is based on? It is nothing like the show. The Flash Forward occurs 21 years ahead and Simcoe is the focus of the book, which is based in Geneva Switzerland, not L.A. If you are into the science behind it, the book goes into more detail.

Oh man, I'm so glad Janis is some kind of triple agent! The plot thickens.

Now knowing that, I think that when Vogel says "Binford is dead" in Charlies Flash Forward, it is not true-just a set up for Janice to tell the pet store woman...Janice may or may not nkkow for sure

Not sure-at the time it didn't jump out at me.

I stopped watching this show after 4 episodes because it didn't seem to move forward at all. Too much of "I see myself with another man!" and rehashing the same story. But from reading this thread, I might give it another chance. Maybe when it comes out on DVD.
Double U, I second your thoughts on "The Nine" - my husband and I really liked that show and it was pulled off the air and we never got any answers or "closure" - it was annoying. Ever since then I have a hard time getting attached to a new show.
Someone once wrote that the way they cancel these shows now is like "giving someone a book, getting them interested, and then they get to page 211 and the rest of the book is blank" - it's so frustrating!

Direct TV runs the Nine on its channel, I have watched it a few times, so there is no conclusion?
well, that's dumb....

I just read on E! Online that ABC sources are saying "Flash Forward" has not been picked up for next season. So it's done. And this is exactly why I stopped watching it when it went on hiatus...

I never even bothered watching "V" because I heard it was not very good. Flash Forward lost me after about 4 episodes and then after it went on hiatus, I just never went back to it. Although I thought about watching the first season on DVD and if it got better, I'd pick it back up next season. Oh well, there goes that.

Lost will anger many viewers even though they finish the story, so the writers and producers catch heck no matter what happens...

Well, then next week will be the big finale instead of just the season finale! I really enjoyed that show.
