And here we have the mid-season finale. An episode with a lot of action, suspense and a big cliffhanger at the end.

At least this I epected before watching this episode after having watched 6 very slow episodes of this season so far. But here they again offered the opposite.

Again nothing appreciable happens, we see dialogues of Michael Burnham with the computer about its feelings but also of Saru with a Vulcan woman, giving her a kind of flower to thank her for...(I don't know as I skipped)

I really hoped that something like a plot or even a bit of action would finally begin with this episode, but no. We just see the same feeling talks all people are so tired of. And it is so ridiculous to spend several episodes for talking about a computer suddenly developping feelings and becoming human. Why not finally meeting the species who is responsible for the threat? Why no confrontations/fights/talks with them? Now just 4 episodes in this season remain to deal with all fans are waiting for since episode 1.

At the end of this mid season finale I just feel frustrated having wasted another 45 minutes of my life for this bedtime episode.

I really like the series FlashForward. Despite of the many strands the topics have always been very interesting and suspenseful. But the episode "The Garden of Forking Paths" exceeds all expectations. It is so thrilling and dramatic than no other episode before. The story, the actors and also the music are responsible of this. I watched this episode twice and not only one time like the episodes before and I can safely say that this is the best episode of FlashForward yet. I'm really looking forward for the upcoming episodes. It's a pity that series will end after the first season. Especially because the end of this episode shows that there would be enough topics for a second or a third season.
