DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING !

FlashForward is an American television series, adapted for TV by Brannon Braga and David S. Goyer, which began airing on ABC on September 24, 2009 and which is scheduled to air its final episode on May 27, 2010. It is based on the 1999 novel Flashforward by Canadian science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer.
The series revolves around the lives of several people as a mysterious event causes nearly everyone on the planet to simultaneously lose consciousness for two minutes and seventeen seconds on October 6, 2009. During this "blackout," people see what appear to be visions of their lives on April 29, 2010, a global "flashforward." So it's a little strange that none of the cast foresaw that they would be heading off down to the unemployment office at about that time .



On May 13, 2010, it was reported that FlashForward would not be renewed for a second season. ABC confirmed on May 14, 2010 that the show has been cancelled. In an interview with Time Magazine, co-creator David S. Goyer said "I never saw it coming".



Oh the irony.
