'FlashForward' just a flash in the pan?

So, it has come to my attention that ABC's FlashForward is going on hiatus until March—because, I guess, the writing just wasn't there yet. I could've told you the show needed a little work. (Actually, I did.) Sure, the character development was going OK, as was the "What or Who Caused the Blackout?" theme. But there were parts of the show that just didn't feel right—like the musical montage (I think it was Pearl Jam) and series recap (just a few episodes into the season) that kicked off one show. Stuff that felt out of place or forced. While I hope the show comes back, I'm starting to wonder if ABC will have any audience for it if and when it does. It was already bleeding viewers. Could this be ABC's way of saying FlushForward?
