I'd like to direct attention to ABC's new
FlashForward. I just caught the
Pilot on TV and the opening 20 minutes were
awesome.
We get shots of a cop chase, a surgery, and a suicidal man at a beach followed by car wrecks, crashing helicopters, and explosions. The production values were very well done.
I'm worried this will evolve into story-telling style of
Lost-light especially with the announcer saying "Get more clues about that tattoo online!". Opening a show with so many planted mysteries tend to be dangerous. If the writers don't know where they're going and get canceled after a few episodes, it will be a complete waste of time.
Hopefully Penny and Sulu will deliver a good plotline. The show is based on a novel of the same name by Canadian author Robert J. Sawyer, who has written a number of interesting 'what-if" sci-fi novels.
