The Lair of the SlowFox

Another fifteen seconds of podcast fame

Well, I managed to get a mention on this weeks FlashForcast episode - 'Ralph from Hull' was indeed this fox of celebrated slowness.

I'd emailed in to expand upon my vague kernel of a theory that the FlashForward was transmitted back in time, at Lloyd's request, in order to save Mark. However, what the presenters chose to concentrate on was that the three men in masks after Mark in his FlashForward might not necessarily be involved in the FlashForwards themselves.

Still, that makes the Grauniad's Science Weekly and FlashForcast 'casts where I've warranted a mention, but lasting kudos seems to continue to elude me.

Ah well, fame is a fickle friend...

In other news, a new toner cartridge I collected yesterday during lunchtime turns out to be the wrong one - despite the shop specifically ordering it in for me. *sigh* I had wanted to get some printing done for tomorrow night's meeting of the Residents' Association, but it's looking like I'll have to pass on that, now.

Long day

It didn't help that our network connection got chopped mid-afternoon, but today's been a bit of a mad scramble.

I'm supposed to be on leave tomorrow, but it's looking like I'm going to have to pop in at least briefly in the morning to fix some import issues that I haven't been able to resolve today.

Flash Forward 1x02

So, I watched FF ep 2 last night - I'm still not wholly sure what I make of it just yet, and am mainly watching 'cos it's there. The script, at times, is teeth-grindingly bad, but the concept is sufficiently intriguing to keep me watching, for now.

Also, the FBI geekette, Janis, is kinda cute :-)

Flash Forward

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:12:06 GMT

So, I watched the first episode of Flash Forward last night. Given my brain dead state, it seemed appropriate... just loved the shot of the Eiffel Tower in flames - gratuitous disaster, much??? :-P

I've only watched the one ep so far, and it does seem to be trying awfully hard, with a similar 'glossy' feel to that of Heroes. And the script, at times, just makes me want to curl up and die. However, I'm going to persist for a few more episodes to see what I make of it.

Anyway, for UKers, it's possible to catch up on FF via Channel 5's flash-based on-demand service, which has its own Flash Forward section.
