Flash Forward

For the Lost fans out there, Sonya Walger (Penny) and Dominic Monahan (Charlie) are both in this show. And they even gave a shout out to Lost with an Oceanic Airlines billboard in one scene.

New episode tonight!

The pilot was badass. I'm interested in where they're going to take this show.

Motion, have you caught all the Lost refrences? They really ott with them... Kinda weird considering there is no relation between the two shows. They're trying real hard to bring Lost's fanbase over. As long as the show remains as good as the pilot, I'll be watching.

Just watched the pilot for this show on Hulu (I couldn't watch it last week because I was camping). All I can say is WOW ... the is probably the best new drama I've seen since Heroes ... and quite honestly I thought it was quite a bit better than that.

I love David Goyer's writing, and this is really no diffferent ... to me it feels a bit like Jericho with some Lost thrown in.

I'm glad I made the decision to check this out so I can keep up. There's a million different places they could take this show. I can't wait to see tonight's episode.

I have seen the first two episodes, so far....very good.

Huge LOST fan, looking forward to watching this show unfold.

What does either one of those shows have to do with the actor sounding like Duke Nukem?

Another great episode last night. I'm really interested to see how these 2 guys avoided, or caused, the blackout. Although I will say the answer to that question has serious jump the shark potential.

I think the father of the kid (Olivia/Penny's future lover) is a little shady.

His actions in her flash forward are fishy and if you watch, there's some sort of light that flashes behind him when he's turning his head to look at Olivia/Penny in the 2nd episode. I gotta watch it again, but I don't trust this guy.

Good show...Im hooked at least for the short term :).

Not sure of the show's staying power, but I love how it's started.

Good show but episode 2 kinda lost its momentum from the first IMO.

This was my thought too. I think the majority of the action is/was in the pilot in terms of seeing the carnage and chaos that can occur in just over two minutes if something like that were to happen. Things I never thought about like the helicopters and planes falling, etc. etc.

It almost makes me feel that this should be a mini series or a movie, as opposed to episodic televsion, but I am willing to keep going forward (pun) provided they keep bringing the awesome.

I like the concept and thought that the first two episodes were extremely well done. is a cop/sci-fi drama series which can either be really good (as it has been ) or really bad (which it has the potential to be). I just hope that the entire season/series has been written out in advance so that the continuity and sustainability is there. I mean, beyond the six month timeframe they have given us, I don't see how the show can grow past it.

Almost like how Prison Break turned awful after they...well, broke out.

But I kind of hope that a lot of these visions start to come together to show a bigger picture of events, which I am sure they will.

Great start.

nothing wrong with the way he talks

Great show, just watched the first 2 episodes.

I've seen much, MUCH worse......

I think he's English, which is why his voice is a little odd.

Saw the first 2 episodes online yesterday and was very impressed. I agree with the people that said it might have a limited life. I can't see how this show lasts for more than 1 or 2 seasons max without either getting boring (because the writers are dragging the story out) or jumping shark and going in a different direction. Of course there can always be more 'flash forwards' but it might start to get a bit silly.

The only thing I don't like about the show is having Harold/America Pie MILF guy as part of the FBI. He just seems too young and of course seeing those movies it's hard to take him seriously but I'm trying. I know a lot of people don't really like the lead actor but I don't mind him.

And I agree with Motion, the reason behind the black out could be a total jump shark moment and could absolutely kill the show. Hopefully it's going to be something good, you'd have to think the writers had a good idea of it or why even bother making the show in the first place.

Another very good episode last night, very interested to see how this unfolds. Looks like whoever caused the blackout had a practice run in Somalia.

I watched the first two shows.. thank you for the link sir.. and now am interested in the series.. I liked last night and will likely make an effort to catch them from now on. Thanks Derek!

I thought Thursday's episode was good but kind of slow as everything that didn't focus on the main FBI guy seems like it wasn't very important. I did think that guy in Germany would have had a bigger role or had a better story.

I will say I think the FBI girl that sees a baby in her flashforward will be knocked up by either the main FBI guy or Harold/American Pie MILF guy. If it is the main FBI guy it could be the reason him and Penny from Lost break up and he starts drinking again.

I love how I can't remember any of the character's names for whatever reason.
