It’s a shame Flash Forward was cancelled. It was one of the most innovative and thought provoking shows I’ve seen in some time. I’ve only gotten half-way through the season too. Somehow I missed it while it was airing and stumbled upon it while using DISH Network’s new streaming site: dishonline. As an employee of DISH I was pretty excited when the site went live and I started browsing the

Not sure if I agre with the "alternate universe route". Greg, I think for they very reason you mentioned that FF would stay away from this. 2 many other shows covering it. I've read in interviews that the producers claim that FlashForward is not a Sci-Fi show primarily. There is one sci-fi type event that happens that they want us to believe happened...but then it is a character

Greg, I agree with you. There are a number of videos on the Mosaic website that are from a fictional PBS type series where people share their flash forward stories. In each of the stories, the person is doing something completely different than they are doing in their current life. For example, a young urban teenager who has never rode a horse had a flash of herself as a competitive horse rider.

for some reason i'm thinking FlashForward is another parallel/tangent universe story

the visions they saw were glimpses into another universe

why the heck are there all these multiverse stories on TV and in movies?

There is definitely something up with the time thing. I've had the same confusion with the mosaic website because the flash forward stories from the east coast seem to be of daytime activities (e.g., moving, picnicking in the park, etc.), but the flash would have occurred in the middle of the night.

So it's unanimous - you are never too old to find potty humor hilarious. Like

Thanks for the heads up Mike! I will take anyone's word for it with those skylines in the far East because I have no idea! lol

Very interesting synchromystic! I wonder if that will tie into anything. I guess we may see this week. When I did a search I started coming up with all things related to physics and prime numbers and my head got dizzy! Should be interesting.

2009-10-02T15:05:30.456-04:00

Mike -- you are right with how they came up with Pidgeon, Utah. I think I rushed thru what I was trying to say. In DiDi's flash she is on the phone saying something about "...these darn pidgeons". Or something close to that. That sent them on the line of thinking that eventually led to Pidgeon, Utah. I do follow that. I think the stretch is that the agents thought the phrase &

Jayce,

I looked up time zones and Utah is in Mountain time which would be even one hour LATER! So it was 11pm! Definitely looked like daytime, but like you said...could be the lighting. It is very bizarre that she'd be in her store that late. Never even thought about it. Good point about the sonogram too....i guess the inconsistency is why would she be getting a sonogram that

I am enjoying the show quite a bit so far, and will definitely keep watching. I agree about the "pivotal episode" comment. It may be coming as we are slowly introduced to the bad guys. We seem to have met one briefly in this episode (-- although why would he be trying to find out more about the flashforwards if he was one of the guys behind them?) Supposedly we will be seeing

Hi Mike V.

This is my first time visiting your blog and I totally dig your commentaries of the major plot points for every episode.

It seems to me that in order for Charlie to say "D. Gibbons is a bad man" she must either have seen D. Gibbons in her vision and know that it is him or that she overhears someone mention D. Gibbons and why he is a bad man. This goes

2009-10-02T11:08:06.652-04:00

Yep, David, that episode "All the Best Cowboys" was the one that hooked me to LOST...especially the Charlie hanging scene. We knew someone was going to die in that season....and they got us good putting Charlie in that sort of danger. It was a good time!

Oh yeah...FF is definitely trying to use the same formula as LOST from the opening scene of the show to some character

2009-10-02T10:59:48.768-04:00

Yeah, I think there does need to be a pivotal episode, I think the moment I was hooked with Lost was seeing Charlie hanging from the tree in "All the Best Cowboys..." - There needs to be a moment in the show which makes me feel connected to the show and to the characters. I have every confidence there will be said moment in the near future...I hope!

Another comparison to draw

2009-10-02T10:32:03.211-04:00

David, I definitely see Bryce having "Lockian" characteristics too...so I won't disagree. Aaron fitting the bill is more of what you said...his philosophical comments and being a little older than Bryce. Obviously there isn't a 1 to 1 match here for John Locke!

As for being an addict? No way am I saying this show is on par with LOST or anything...but it is very

2009-10-02T10:26:18.860-04:00

I'm thinking of Bryce as more of a John Locke character, Mike...one of the things that Locke said that sticks in my head is "I've looked into the eye of this island, and what I saw was beautiful.". The way Bryce is being so positive about things and his future is similar to that, in my opinion. However, I do see your point about Aaron being the Lockian character because of his
