“Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right.” -- Igor Stravinsky

Flash Forward
I like the show, but, like most big budget shows and movies, the writers and directors just can't be bothered to get the little things right. I was just watching an episode where two FBI agents were discussing the villains chess games. One of them says, "He used the queen sacrifice -- one of the most powerful moves in the game." Well, that was bad enough -- as if "the queen sacrifice" was the name for a particular move, rather than a whole class of moves. But it got worse -- on the computer the agents were watching, the showed the move -- and it wasn't a queen sacrifice!

Such a shame ratings tanked and going to get cancelled now that it has become interesting.
