Jilted FlashForward fans to stage mass blackouts in protest
Their drinky crow inaction hero Joseph Fiennes may have already moved on, but fans of FlashForward refuse to let go: They’re planning on registering their disapproval of ABC’s decision to end the show by staging their very own mass blackouts, a play on the ol’ flash mob conceit where groups will gather in front of network affiliate stations in New York, L.A., Chicago, Detroit, and Atlanta, then lie down on the ground with their eyes closed for two minutes and 17 seconds—you know, just like what happened to the characters on the show during their own flash-forwards. That’ll show ‘em! Presumably fans will then stand in a circle for 43 minutes yelling, “There’s going to be another flash-forward!” at each other. But there won’t be. Oh, but there won’t be.
