    From the original article, “The FBI team, led by an overly dour Ralph Fiennes,. . . .” Uh, am I seriously misremembering this show? I could have sworn the FBI agent was played by JOSEPH Fiennes, not Ralph. (Off to IMDb.com…………………..Back) Yep. It WAS Joseph Fiennes.I seriously blame ABC for the show’s ultimate failure. You just CANNOT screw around with the scheduling the way they did with “FlashForward.” The first 9 episodes ran in order (Thursday nights from Sept 24 through Nov 19), then, because of Thanksgiving, the network put the 10th episode on Monday, Nov 30 before taking that insane 13 week hiatus. And, to make matters worse, since the show’s premise was so centered on the April 29th “deadline,” the network killed any real suspense. (The “Big Day” came and went in the real world while the show still had 4 episodes to go.) Well, things could’ve been even worse. The show could’ve been on Fox and been cancelled after just 2 or 3 episodes.
