FF seems to alternate regularly between transitional episodes & "wham" episodes. This week was transitional; next week looks wham. Lost started with the same formula FF did. It just jumped right in with the main epic event having occurred before the first commercial break. But, Lost always had the flashbacks which allowed us to learn about the characters while the fantasy/action stuff was happening in island time. By emphasizing the present and the future, FF has a bigger challenge getting people to know & care about its characters. But, with only around half a season aired, they've still got time to give the character development needed. BWS, I’ll go along with you.

I also want Eastwick but appparently that's long gone.

FF will most certainly finish the season or ABC gets burned the eff down. One of my biggest beefs with the show is simply not developing the characters enough. I don't "care" about these characters yet and I feel like I should. I think that's just bad writing unfortunately. But at least every other episode is good, right? Right? Anyone?

But in his defence, these kind of shut downs are usually not a good sign, especially when added to the general unevenness of the season thus far. bws,

And Ausiellos is being a weeeee bit dramatic about a 6 day shutdown. Seriously. While FF has struggled some, it has had its moments of brilliance.
