Has anyone been watching 'FlashForward' on ABC? It's really good so far! It's only been on for 2 weeks but it already has my brain cranking out theories. =P
The basic premise is that the whole world 'lost' consciousness at the same time for 2 minutes and 17 seconds at 11 am on September 29. In those two minutes, people saw a 'flashforward' six months into their future. The main character, Mark, is the FBI agent in charge of the investigation into why the 'Blackout' happened and what it means. Life was pretty peachy for Mark until the blackout; beautiful doctor wife and a young daughter. In Mark's flash forward he sees himself drinking from a flask in his office while working on 'Mosaic', the investigation into the 'blackout.' Mark is a recovering alcoholic, so he is appalled that he saw himself drinking. He also sees men in masks coming to kill him. This is also rather unsettling. Mark's wife, Olivia, sees herself with a man she's never met. Olivia is horrified that she would cheat on her husband, but she doesn't know that Mark was (is going to start?) drinking again. A huge mystery for me is this: what did Mark and Olivia's daughter, Charlie, see? Charlie described her vision as all of the good days being gone. This in itself isn't too significant until she says something pertinent to Mark's investigation at the end of the 2nd episode. Dun dun dun...
I'm really excited for this show and I hope that it 1) doesn't disappoint and 2) isn't canceled. It has a 'LOST' kind of feel to it. There is so much mystery right now! Let's just hope it doesn't get hokey. =P Anyway, if you're watching, let's use this thread to discuss the show. If you aren't watching it, go to ABC.com and catch up! =D
