More than that I can bet $$$$ it will suffer more than it will gain. I'll find out a couple of years from now if it's still on. Pilot looks good enough for me, so whenever the final season is announced, I'll get all the episodes (hopefully not too many, so I don't have to fast-forward too much) and have a good time watching the STORY (the true story, not the stupid subplot fillers) unravel.

If a show is going to establish a series mythology and expect the fans to invest in it, the show ought to know - at least roughly - where it is going. Look at "Prison Break" season one and beyond versus the final destination of "Battlestar Gallactica". For serial procedurals and dramas and comedies, a lot of fluidity is good. That way characters/actors can come and go, new ideas can easily be incorporated, and there doesn't have to be a set ending.

It's not. Serials have been made up as they went along for some time. It would be a necessity for television, in particular. I think it is awesome that TV is beginning to plan and allow these epic stories with planned ends, but continuing to answer to that criticism is stooping to the level of the unenlightened.

The flash is still there, but the reasoning behind it in the book is obviously gone. I'm awaiting this with guarded optimis.
