I'm still sad about FlashForward. Fan attempts to revive the cancelled series will most likely prove unsuccessful, especially when you look at this release: FlashForward: The Complete Series. The five-disc set will be hitting shelves on August 31, and I'll definitely be picking up because, season two or no season two, this show was brilliant. It won't be classified amongst the wrongfully cancelled masterpieces like Firefly, Defying Gravity, and Carnivale, but it will still hold a special place on my shelf.
The packaging of the set is pretty cool. In contrast to the usually blue color spectrum of series promotions, the cover is red, and features an eye surrounded by images of the main characters. The images of the characters I don't like. They're all sort of bland, and it feels a little like a badly-done version of the LOST Season 3 cover. I greatly prefer the Season One, Part 1 cover to this. However, I do like that the four star rating is still a big part of the DVD. It's a reminder that this was a great series, even if it was cancelled too soon. This set will hold a position of honor on my shelf, right between Firefly and Flight of the Conchords.
If you're planning on adding FlashForward to your shelf, you can pre-order it at Amazon. The set is selling for $41.99.
I won't be buying this. Only the second half of the season was really good, and not worth a dvd purchase either. It's a shame though, a second season could have been decent.
