( And they still had a cop-out ending.)

Think of the mess that was the SciFi channel's 'Riverworld'.

The remake of Battlestar Galactica started with a mini-series, too, but the series wasn't far behind.
Of course, that's cable as opposed to broadcast network television, so like comapring oranges to some other fruit that doesn't really taste as good as oranges.
It just doesn't make sense to do this on a national network.

I learned about a new fruit today, too. Ah, Internet, you vast source of information. What will you do for me next?

I'm glad that what is going to be aired will at least be a discrete package and not something that just stops midstory.

That is all.

Say what you will about the television show Scrubs last few seasons, but it deserved to go out better than it did on NBC.

When the contract came up for renewal, NBC passed, ABC picked up the reins and gave it the final season it needed. There's also talk of the show continuing on ABC without some of the principal actors, but at least they gave the original fans closure before further ruining of the show.
It's one of the few shows, however, I think NBC has mishandled in their lifetime, Freaks and Geeks being another. Better track record than other networks, at least.

Seems like its going to feel rushed/cramped from that.

Which is what I'm afraid might happen to FlashForward...

*slaps hand on the table* Sold. I'll be there for the premier.

Star Trek: Countdown was very close to the line. It was a good comic, and made the movie much more logical; but without having read the comic, I would have seen Nero as a flat, two-dimensional villain whose motivations are not properly explained. As far as I'm concerned that's a huge flaw. If you can't tell the complete story without making fans search for the rest of the information, something's wrong.

budgets around 13million dollars , even
star trek 6 budget was around 30 million ,
and all those movies had alot of
action ,story ,element .
Cgi and high budget is not needed to
make a great movie , but to show-up at
the box office , you need either massive
unneeded budget or someone you know
who is at the top.
And we get the pointless and plotless movies we seen all -summer , except for a rare few .
