1) It already has great source material. Being based on the novel by Robert J. Sawyer, the show has strong and successful foundations from which to build its story. There’s no doubt that the show will expand on the themes laid down by the novel, which should be fun for all concerned.
2) Lost fans will be looking for the ‘next Lost’. As a ‘Lostie’ myself, Flash Forward feels like one of the few candidates that can take up the mantle. Nothing will compare to Lost, but Flash Forward has the potential to be its own monster.
3) One of the core reasons that attracted me to Flash Forward (and hence creating a blog for the show), is the potential scope and relevance of the story – it has a “we’re all in this together” vibe, and that’s a crucial theme for any overarching series with hopes for mass appeal.
4) The show already has a strong buzz surrounding it. This could be crucial in bringing the show to as many eyes as possible.
