This week, we lounge into our new century with a look at the future (ooh, spooky) with FlashForward. There s an I Don t Buy It. Also, one of the most interesting discussions in Pork we ve ever had. It s like delicious, fluffy mashed potato but for your ears.

It s really worth a read to learn about how the market is changing and think about what this might mean for television. You might want to grab the novel of Flashforward and see the differences. Maybe one day soon we ll do a piece looking at adaptations. Just a thought. If you like Flashforward and think we were unfairly harsh, then by all means let us know what you think. If you want to see something disgusting, here s the Dominos website. Click the watch ad link. You ll see what I mean.
