Can we send this to every showrunner? With a brick tied to it so it doesn't get lost in the slush pile of mail and other stuff?

I watch a lot of different series, and I almost always cringe with fast forward (except the actual show FF where it gave them info about the future). OMG, the series regular is in danger, How did they get there? Oh wait, they're a cop, they deal with life/death situations every episode. That's the PREMISE of the show.

Now do overuse of flashback :)

That checklist will definitely come in handy, as I know I’ll get seduced by the scene and tempted to flash-forward just for funsies. There’s probably a clever way to parody this dynamic. Someone smarter than me might be able to figure this out…
