I want to like Flashforward so much, BUT if you saw the future and didn’t like what you saw, wouldn’t you do sth radical to prevent it?
Still 3:40hs to go! Why is time going so slow? Maybe that coffee after lunch wasn’t such a good idea.. http://pic.im/dGl
it’s OK to have a video/audio autoplay: if YOU are Youtube, Vimeo or a site like that. For any other site: NOT cool. Get it?
