It's on the TiVo season pass list. Here's hoping it's worth watching.

me too...Penny and Charlie from Lost are main characters. Ray Fiennes younger brother is the lead... I love time travel so I'm looking forward to it next week...it's up against Survivor but I have them both on DVR Record Series so I don't miss either if I'm out

Love it! I was up at night thinking about things!Was it trying hard to be Lost? Sure. But I'll take it.

The first time I really wondered if there was more than a surface connection to LOST is when the woman had the vision of a bird slamming into a window and dying.

In the background of one of the opening scenes, there's a large billboard/painted wall ad for Oceanic Air.
"RE: FlashForward"
Posted by weltek on 09-28-09 at 04:38 PM
Yeah, I saw that. I just am wondering if some pieces in Flash Forward might point to some real "answers" for LOST. I can see Widmore Industries or HANSO being behind the blackout.

I was wondering what had happened to Jack Davenport, and then I was thinking it must be a different Jack Davenport, and then he turned uphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=Lp0-8Ibkczc
Still not sure if I will continue to watch though
"RE: FlashForward"
Posted by mrc on 09-29-09 at 08:32 AM
Finally watched it. I liked it. We saw the Oceanic sign, and there was something else Lost-related that jumped out.Definitely a keeper so far. I don't know how long they can keep going with the story, but me likey.

The man in black walking on the camera at the end was chilling. Everyone else blacked out. But he did not.

I didn't like episode 2 nearly as much as the premiere. Too many contrivances for me-- you could fly a 747 through the plot holes. This show is on thin ice with me now.

I'm with you Max. I will need some better plotting (better, not the same as more) next week, or I will give up on it.

Charlie! yippee! Think I am going to love him as a bad guy.Kind of loving this show....know it is hoaky, but it is television.
"RE: FlashForward"
Posted by CTgirl on 10-19-09 at 06:07 PM
Hi trigirl!I watched the first 4 episodes over the weekend and I agree. It's kind of hokey, but fun. It kept my interest. I think Charlie's going to be a 'good' bad guy too!
What is everyone else thinking about this show - or have they stopped watching?!
"RE: FlashForward"
Posted by Max Headroom on 10-20-09 at 07:48 AM
What is everyone else thinking about this show - or have they stopped watching?!It's Lost-lite-- not as well done, lesser characters, hokey story lines which lack the mystery of Lost, enormous plot holes. I'm watching for now, but it may fall off my list early next year when Lost, Chuck, and Friday Night Lights return.

I'm gonna love him as a bad guy, too.It kind of reminds me of a more mysterious 24. Same kind of pace and character development.

"Picked Up for The Season"
Posted by trigirl on 10-16-09 at 08:15 AM
Whew! Just watched four eps back to back and you know I HATE to committ to network tv only to have them pull the plug 10 minutes later!!!From Ausiello
As expected, ABC has picked up FlashForward for a full season.
The Lost wannabe (and could be) has been a solid performer on Thursday night, boosting ABC’s 8 pm time period 32 percent over last year (when Ugly Betty aired there). Even more impressive, its premiere episode was the first regular program since Friends to beat Survivor in the 18-49 demo.
ABC ordered an additional (and above-average) 12 episodes of the show, bringing its season 1 total to 25.

Nolay kept trying to guess the future baby's daddy. Guy that asks her out at class? Neeewp. She's a lesbian. I guess this could still pan out, though. Rapist coming from the dark (the dark, abandoned sidewalk scene-of course something was going to happen)? Neeewp. He just wants to kill her.

Overall I thought this last episode was kind of boring - until the end. But what an exciting way to end! And I lvoed the way they reused 'Like a Rolling Stone' during it!I read that the writers have already mapped out all the music they wanted to use for the entire season which apparently is unusual. Usually they add the music at the end after everything is done.

It's getting better... I'm starting to look forward to watching this show now.

Posted by weltek on 11-12-09 at 03:40 PM
I think I reached that point last week where I realzied I was really looking forward to it. I also realized I most enjoy dramas that are finite. This is a show, like LOST, that must have an end point in the near future.It's kind of cool to be part of this generation that gets to relish LOST. Though I think it is a show that could be unearthed again in 10 years with a related storyline and the return of some actors to connect the dots.

It is growing on me. At first I loved the pilot episode. Then it slowly started to lose me. Then it got me back after last week. There are still crazy plot holes and I really don't like Mark and Olivia Benford but all in all I am still interested in the overall plot.Funny seeing the guy who played Charlie on Lost, talking about "fate". Anyone notice so many overlapping names from Lost like Aaron, Kate, Charlie...

Back in the saddle! I was wavering on whether I'd watch the second half of this season or not... and after that episode, I'll be watching the rest of this season.

Are you still watching? I have them all on my DVR but haven't started watching the second half of the season yet. Is it worth it? Maybe I should wait and find out if it gets renewed next season first!
"RE: FlashForward"
Posted by Max Headroom on 04-28-10 at 08:57 PM
We're still watching. Three of the four episodes have been great since the break (and I'm not telling which one was the dud).

I wasn't going to watch the final three eps I had on my DVR but I did. Darn, I hate when a show I like gets cancelled. Really, really hate it.
So do you think that they added that Charlie in the future bit just in case? There's no way they could have had a Mark Benford goes missing for 5 years storyline is there?
