Flash Forward Discussion! (Chat or Predict the future)!

Flash-Forward Discussion...
When Flash-Forward aired on television it was a pretty unique concept. The pilot episode was also very gripping in a lot of ways, too. Folks from all over the world had passed out simultaneously and when most folk's woke up... they had a glimpse of things to come on a specific day in the future.

If you have been watching this show and want to share your unique vision on it, please feel free to tell us below.

Thank you and have a great future day.

Alright. I suppose I will say something first.
Flash-Forward had a great beginning. It grabbed you from start with a really unique concept and visuals. But when I watched episode 2 and 3: I felt the show was suffering big time. In fact, I starting to worry that the show was slipping into mediocrity TV land. However, the latest episode jolted me back into thinking this show could be really good if the creator's continue to play their cards right.

Well, I will let you know more when I watch tonight's episode on Hulu tomorrow.

Until then, enjoy the cup cakes and don't forget to take that colorful wrist band off when you shower.

Mr Jabber this is a great idea grins

Lucky i didnt start a flashforward thread

Yeah l have to agree that Flashforward can be a little bit slow in bits but when l watched the first ep it was good and l could not wait for the 2nd ep when that aired it seemed to jump from one scene to another

The characters were telling everyone what there dreams were about some good some bad the main charcter and his wife had flash backs of him drinking(cant remeber his name or the wife grins

His was of him drinking anfd not beingvery happy hers was of a affair she was having with a man she met in hospital.

The chinese man did not dream at all so he thinks he will die in 6mths

So he proposes to his girlfreind and she says yes.

I didnt not see the 3rd ep so Mr Jabber could you bring us up to date

I will be watching the 4th ep tomorrow night grins

Miss Inserts:

The fourth and fifth episode are much better (than the 2nd and 3rd episodes) in my opinion.

Well l watched last nights ep on flashforward and it was a little boring at the start but got better

The inquiry into the dreams was boring and it nearly went for around 20mins of the ep

The girl who is supposed to be pregnant in her draem was shot after she was shot by these random guys

She shots the guys dead but she is shot herself and she is left on the ground not looking to good l wonder if she will survive this

Also the main character of the series is also shot at by the same mob and his car is blown up which looked good to watch he has a couple of good guys with him so l wonder what will happen here

The chinese guy is still sulking about dying in 5 mths and he wants to live life to the best so he is sing karooke in the bar drowning his sorrows

i was also amazed how fast the chinese guy and the black guy came to the assisdence to the main charater to the show

Mr Jabber you might be right the series is improving

Cant wait fo next weeks ep grins

Call me an action junkie, but I really enjoyed the action moments in last weeks episode. It was just the right amount of high octane excitement I was looking for when the chips were done in episode 2 and 3.

Well, anyways, I am glad you enjoyed episode 5, as well.
I am still not getting hot flashes of super excitement on this series, but I am looking forward to next week's episode, though.

Yeah, that asian guy is starting to grow on me, now.
Either that or I am confusing his character with the one from that White Castle movie.

Yeah, I really can't remember there names either.
Maybe in time their designations will stick with me.

Miss Inserts:

Maybe it is the main character's baby. Perhaps he gets upset at his wife and has a moment of weakness or something.

Quote:

Yeah, I can't imagine them killing his character.

Yeah, episode 6 is on Hulu. I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. But I may catch it here in another day or two.

Okay l am back grins

At least this thread likes me only kidding

I watched ep 5 oris it 6 is confued

The girl who was shot is alright and the main guy in the series is okay too

There is two english guys who are not very good men l think it is them who have started the flashforward situation

There is also another blonde girl who was with this engish guy on the train they get up to some naughty stuff and then he explains what he is about she is shocked..

geez what a stuition this girl has got her self into..

Also the main character and his wife have a visit from this child he has autism and he turns up saying that the house they are at is his..

They are able to get in tonch with the father who is the one the wife is suppoed to have affair with

What a sticky sitution

the main character of the show tell him to leave and not come back

The husband and wife argue and then she says she doesnt trust him since this guy in his dream started drinking.

Anyway we will see what happens in the next ep

The latest episode you watched was Episode 6 titled "Scary Monsters and Super Creeps".

Yeah, the girl who got shot is going to live. However, they said (because of her injuries) that it would be next to impossible for her to give birth. I am wondering if she is going to die while giving birth or something. And if she doesn't die, I am sure this is a reason to give us drama or tension that she might die.

Quote:

Yeah, that guy from Lost and the dude with the kid apparently are involved in creating this Flash Forward incident.

Quote:

I imagine we may see her all dead falling out of closet on the train in the next episode or something silly. Or worse yet: we may not see her character again (with no explanation).

Yeah, I agree. It was a descent scene.

So far the show has picked up and gotten pretty entertaining. However, my one big beef with the series is that the rest of the world feels too normal. If such an event as a Flash Forward really were to actually happen, I think a lot of folks would not go back to work as if everything was normal again. The reason for this is that I think certain individuals would have seriously been freaked by seeing the future. Also, with so much destruction world wide the economy would seriously hurt big time, too. Various companies such as certain airline companies would suffer or collapse. Besides, there was a ton of devastation on a global level to clean up, as well. The world that we see is too clean and too perfect. In reality, things would be a lot different if an actual Flash Forward were to happen for real.

Thankyou for saying which ep i am up too Mr Jabber grins

yeah she was very upset that she would not have children and the other characters were really happy that she was going to live

yeah they want us to see what happens in this person life and we might see a baby but we will have to wait and see what happens with this character

The main character and his wife were not very happy with each other but before that she was trying to contact him by mobile and she was tired so she fell a sleep and he was able to get to the hospital because of the other girl and tell her what happened

She is afraid that he is going to take up his old drinking habit

yeah l have to agree that those two english guys have something to do with the flashforward and it will be interesting what happens here too

I think we might see that girl on the train again but you said we might not you would have thought we woud have seen something more here

i really like your last state ment and it would be interesting to see where this series goes

if it happened for real it would be not nice to see what the future brings us

Your welcome.

I seriously don't like the doctor chick now because it feels like she has given up on her husband. If she really loved him she would try to make it work no matter how painful it might be again. But I suppose she can't fight fate or anything. At least that is what we are led to believe within the series so far.

Quote:

There is no question that both these english men are directly responsible for the Flash Forward. The guy from Lost pretty much came right out and said that they were responsible for the Flash Forward taking place.

Quote:

I am just speculating of course. We may see the girl from the train again.
She just may not have a pulse or anything, though.

Actually, I was referring to the show not feeling real enough sometimes.
Things are too clean and perfect within this series. There should be a lot more death, destruction, and crazies running about in this show.

Well maybe we dont know the whole story of why she is concerned with his drinking and he may have been not a very nice bloke who knows

We have not really gone into there lifes to know what has happened to them

If you are married to someone like this it is very hard to trust and when you have gained that trust and you see what happens 6 mths down the track it would be a terriable feeling

I can understand him going back to the drink if she does have that affair with that english guy

yeah l remeber the engish bloke saing that too and it was abit concerning

Did you know in ep 7 there is going to be a character killed off

Wonder which one it is

Stop being mean Mr Jabber grins

We will have to see what happens to the blonde girl and hopefully she will have a pulse

I have to agree we need more action in this series hopefully as the series goes on we will have that

Miss Inserts:

Well, not to sound like a Sith Lord who deals in only absolutes, but I do believe she is in the wrong for giving up on their love. She is essentially saying she doesn't want to find another way to make it work if he drinks again. I mean how bad of a drunk could he be? Does drinking make him an unfaithful and abusive drunk or something? Well, if that's the case, than that would be a different story. However, I don't think the creators would make our main character an abusive alcoholic, though. At least if they don't want us to be unsympathetic with his character that is.

Quote:

Perhaps Mark (The main character) walks in on his wife and the english guy kissing. However, it was the english guy who surprised her with the kiss, though. Catching her off guard. Which then of course, eventually leads to him drinking like you said.

Quote:

I guess we will have to watch the episode to see what happens.

Quote:

Maybe blonde lady on the train is the character they are referring to that dies in the episode.

Yeah, this show needs more action like 24, Stargate SG-1, and Atlantis.
Personally, if we see another gun battle sequence, I would seriously like to see the Kangaroo get involved in some way.

Well it depends what he did you his wife and maybe he miss treated her in some way we have not been able to see what happens with these two characters Mr Jabber

If l had someone treat me bad when l nkow they get bad when they are drunk l would be scared.

Maybe he hits her when he is drunk we dont know do we.

I hope we get some storylines into why she feels this way

I dont think l have seen the scene of the english guy and the woman kissing .

What eo are you referring too Mr Jabber

Well you could be right that maybe the blonde woman on the train is who they find dead but the way they discibed it on the preveiw it it is one of the main characters.

Since you are a ep a head of me you will proberly know what happens but please dont tell me grins

yeah about the kangaroo l was wondering if you seen him jumping around grins

But you are right l hope we have more action again so we will want to keep watching the series
