FlashForward: Goyer Promises Answers by Season 1’s End

David S. Goyer, the executive producer on ABC’s upcoming sci-fi-ish show FlashForward (no space in-between, apparently), has promised that by the end of the show’s first season, all the questions that were raised in the pilot will have been solved, except one: what was behind the black out.

For those who don’t know, FlashForward’s premise is that everybody in the world blacks out at the exact same time, and during their blackout, gets a glimpse of themselves six months in the future. For some, the future is glorious, while for others, it’s deadly.

According to Goyer (via THR), the perfect set number of years for FlashForward is three years, enough time to explore the show’s central mythology: the cause of the blackout. Of course, Goyer is being a tad optimistic. While I find the show’s premise to be intriguing and novel, I just don’t see much of a future for FlashForward. It reminds me of the shows Daybreak and Journeyman, both had killer premises, but possibly only to a select number of viewers. They also happened to co-star Moon Bloodgood. Now, if only someone will cast Moon in FlashForward, too…

Hey, I could be wrong, and I hope I am and FlashForward does indeed run for three seasons. I just don’t see it happening…

I know what you're thinking: I can't believe someone gave that guy from Harold and Kumar a gun.
