Honestly, when I quickly glanced at the news headline for ABC’s V and FlashForward, I assumed the shows were being cut entirely and I let out a whiny NOOOO!, then exhaled with a ‘Whew’ when I saw it was for only one episode each. After many an episode I finally got into FlashForward and really enjoy it. I had never heard of anything like this before (cutting one episode), but I am glad they are deciding to do this instead of scrap both shows entirely. It like giving someone half a book; just when you get all involved in it’s story, it ends, and there are no more chapters to read. I would have lost my faith in television had that happened. Do you think cutting one episode from each show will ruin the story?
