    • 2009 September 24, Ginia Bellafante, “Fearing a Future They’ve Seen”, in New York Times‎:
      In the years since 9/11, producers have found rich thematic material in the arguments for and against preordination, resulting in series like “The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” “Lost” and now “FlashForward,” which begins in such a spirit of bracing suspense that I am challenged to recall another pilot that lured me so quickly into addiction.
