Exiting FlashForward Showrunner Can't Remember Where the Last 12 Episodes of His Life Went

There's been a major reversal at the top levels of the FlashForward writers table, as co-showrunner/EP Marc Guggenheim has departed the ABC series, leaving duties for the show's back-nine order to series creator, David Goyer. Goyer, a scifi and fantasy writer who's penned the Blade series and Christopher Nolan's Batman films, was considered less of a known factor in series TV, and was paired with the more experienced Guggenheim, who has mulitple series under his belt, including Law & Order, CSI: Miami, Brothers & Sisters and Eli Stone.

THR reports that Guggenheim was just on board for the initial 12-episode order, while AICN suggests something more acrimonious is at foot, with the network disatisfied with the meandering and uncompelling storytelling that's unfurled since the pilot. I've lost track of the show pretty quickly, much as I did with another ABC Lost-alike, The Nine. Perhaps we should all just close our eyes for 137 seconds and pretend none of this ever happened.
