And it seems it's rumoured that good overseas sales and low production costs will not save this show either..

It boggles my mind it gets bad ratings in the U.S, guess they are too stupid for shows like this and prefer watching **** like Survivor, Dancing with the Stars and American Idol.

The problem is that Hollywood (and the media in general) is scared to take chances now. As soon as something doesn't do well, it's dropped. Had it been made now, I don't think Star Trek: The Next Generation would have made it past season 1 or 2, which would have been a shame as the show didn't really hit it's stride until the third season (that's not to say there weren't good stories in 1 and 2).
I think that FF did slow down a little too much in the middle, and veered in to "Lost" territory a little with the secret groups up to no good idea. But, in the last few eps, it's really picked up.
