This Week in FlashForward - 4/8/10

This week deals with finding the mole in the FBI office, which turns out successful! Or does it? Dun dun dunnnnn!!!!!!!

Episode 15 - "Queen Sacrifice"

Zach says: Anyways, not a whole lot really happens this episode now that I think about it. Bryce and what's her name go out and kiss, who didn't see that coming, but she seemed a bit turned off. What does this mean for Keiko (he girl from Bryce's vision)? Well, she's all well and fine in America, and gets a job working hydrolics for cars, until the government shuts'em down for employing illegals. Yeah, I don't know...How exactly is this relevant?

As far as the investigation goes, Dyson Frost, aka D. Gibbons, has had hundreds of flash forwards and has seen all kinds of futures. He has even left clues for Mark in the past, which he somehow finds....ok. They finally find the mole, who shoots a bunch of people dead, but ultimately captured. But is there another mole?!?!?!! Zomga, we'll see. Overall, the episode was about on par with the rest of the season, but nothing special. I'm interested to see how Frost and Mark's meeting goes and what that will bring about.
Zach's Score: 6.5/10

JDW says: I honestly have nothing to say here. The show continues to disappoint because of its lack of focus and quite frankly I'm just getting tired of it. The finding of the mole in the FBI office was interesting, but it's resolved way to fast. But, hey, at least Seth Macfarlane got shot! You may remember him randomly appearing in the first episode of the show, and for whatever reason he returned, I just hope he's dead for good.

And seriously, the Keiko story, had no reason to even be included here. It was completely irrelevant not only to the episode, but Bryce and his entire story seems to be completely useless to this series. Can't say I think next week will be any better, but, we'll see.
JDW's Score: 6.5/10

Overall Score: 6.5/10

King of the Hill canceled

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this, but I figured I should report it anyways. After 13 seasons, Fox has decided not to renew Mike Judge's animated series King of the Hill. I never really got into the show to really give an opinion on it, but from what I saw it wasn't terrible, and definitely has its moments. I'm sure it will be a loss to someone.

The part that really upsets me is the fact that it got canceled, and now Seth "I'm a smug bastard" MacFarlane will have three shows running on the network: Family Guy, American Dad, and the new Family Guy spin-off, The Cleveland Show. Seriously, how is it that a guy that got canceled 5 years ago is suddenly loved so much by the same network? Yet, Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, gets one of his shows canceled and despite finally receiving direct-to-DVD movies, the network refuses to air the show on their own channel. Seriously, why does everyone love Seth MacFarlane?! It's nonsense!

Anyways, with King of the Hill canceled, Mike Judge will now solely be focused on his new animated series, The Goode Family, which will premiere on ABC in March 2009.

Seth MacFarlane takes on Mario

I might not be Seth MacFarlane's biggest supporter, at least from an artists stand point, I think he's smug and takes too much credit for work a guy in Korea's doing. But people still like this guy, just look at has $100 Million contract from FOX, and that's after they canceled him 5 years ago! And what does Futurama get? Comedy Central, yuck. And the people responsible for all of this success, Adult Swim, end up with the shaft in the end. But enough about my rants, and onto the real story.

Seth MacFarlane has recently launched a new series of Burger King branded shorts on YouTube called Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy, which is essentialy the "like that time when ..." moments of Family Guy and American Dad, minus the washed up characters of Family Guy and American Dad. One of the first shorts stars Mario, so why don't you just take a look.

I suppose it's mildly amusing to me, but I'm sure some of you will laugh out loud.
