"i gave my opinion and you automatically said i was wrong try to be open minded for once and take others pinions into account."

That's exactly what I would have said to you. The way that you keep saying that there isn't gonna be a jump-back doesn't sound like an opinion, but rather it sounds like a statement of what you think is a definite fact. I am not discarding your opinions; I just disagree with them and I am trying to help you on getting your facts straight, understanding the facts that support my theories, and taking into account the possibility that they could be right. Right now, it seems like you're shooting me down just because I don't agree with you and you haven't read my comments fully and thoroughly.

And again, name one writer, in all of the 50-60 years that we've had television, who has spent the first season of a TV show establishing good characters and plotlines, left the character and plot development at a cliffhanger at the end of that first season, started the second season more than 1 year after the events of the first season finale and then just continued on with that future storyline without taking us back to the present soon after and setting up a plotline in that present. If you can't think of anybody, then consider that over all of that time, there have been hundreds of TV show writers, which gives the possibility that at least some of them considered doing all of this, but decided not to. There has to have been a reason why those writers never took this route and if Greg is as smart a writer as he is acclaimed to be, he would have thought about that reason.
