not all doom and gloom
Mild spoiler follows.
According to producer Jessika Goyer, despite the series opening with a disastrous event, FlashForward wont hit viewers over the head with doom and gloom:
[Jessika] Goyer says, it won’t be all doom and gloom. There will be funny stories as well as sad ones.
“The disastrous part of the event, the catastrophic part, only happens in this season,” Goyer said. “Obviously, we’re not going to ignore it. … But this level of what’s happening to people will never be as scary and apocalyptic again. Week to week, what we’ll follow is what’s going on with these characters.”
