Hulu - FlashForward: A First Look at FlashForward!

[spoiler]It was interesting. Watch for the desk calendar in the flash forward. The one annoyance was the suv when it clipped a car head on during the chase scene. The suv was in pristine condition. Why can't continuity count in TV shows?[/spoiler]

ARRRGH! Curse you regional streaming! Only available to view in the US!! Looks like us Brits waiting a couple more weeks.

So who watched this last night? I really liked it. Cool concept and very intriguing things going on, just in the first hour. Plus, they give us a neat little preview of things to come at the end of the first episode. Definitely staying on my TIVO season pass list.

[spoiler]One thought or guess I'll make now is that some but not all of what people saw in their visions will come true. To me, that's the only answer. If everything comes true then that makes you think that everything is set and predestined - and I just can't swallow that. But I can believe certain patterns and events can come true that are set into motion. It will be fun to see how this plays out this season.[/spoiler]

This was very well done.

[spoiler]For some reason when they found the video footage of the one guy/gal that is still walking around in the stadium when everyone else is down, it creeped me out. I got visions of Omega Man in my head. Pretty wild. [/spoiler]

Set up to record next week. I'm not sure this one grab me particularly but I'll give it a shot and see how far I get.

Putting your comment inside a spoiler tag

[spoiler]So the flash forward date was April 30 2010 or so, isn't that just long enough to finish the first season series? Then what happens? Do we have another flash forward for season 2? Trying to figure this one out...

Brief interview with a couple of the stars of the series. Plus, I read the producers have about three seasons mapped out for the show.

I loved the first episode. It had a lot of great hooks and it kept up a nice, quick pace.

I DVR'd this on my cable DVR but then moved and never got a chance to watch it but luckily they repeated it and I caught it on my Direct TV DVR.. so now I have to just find time to watch it.

Rico · September 28, 2009, 08:35:31 AM

It's on www.hulu.com too for anyone that missed it.

Reminder: Tonight at 21:00 on Five over here.

DVR'ed it and just had a chance to watch it last night with Dave. Was pretty interesting. Looking forward to seeing more.

OK, this has grabbed my interest despite what I might have thought going in. It is certainly staying on the DVR recording list.

Actually, I'm a little surprised that one of our terrestrial networks got hold of it. There hasn't been much worth watching on Five since the channel was launched (IMHO) so I'm glad they've got hold of this.

[spoiler]
Given the Flash Forward date, they more or less had to show it over here at the same time as in the States otherwise we'd pass the future point before the show played out.

As far as whether everything that's been seen will happen, I'm not jumping onto either side of that particular fence at the moment. I did think that Mark's partner was up and out of the car very quickly after the flash so I had been wondering whether he'd been affected by it at all. His 'blank vision' could also have pointed in that direction although they seemed to back away from that inference as the show went on and they started talking about him being dead in the future.

I more or less expected someone, somewhere to have been imune to the flash but is that through chance or complicity? Wait and see I guess...

I did think it was a brave move downing so many planes across the US. It fits the plot but I don't know what the level of public acceptance of this sort of stry is, these days.

It's odd hearing Joseph Feinnes with an American accent but he pulls it off as far as I can tell.

Rico · September 29, 2009, 04:57:44 AM

Two of the main leads are British - Fiennes and Sonya Walgner. We seem to have a lot of UK folks playing Americans on TV these days. I wonder if the opposite is true? Any Americans wiggling their way on to the BBC?

Feathers · September 29, 2009, 05:15:33 AM

We have Robert Vaughn on Hustle but that's the only one that springs to mind instantly.

Of course I wouldn't say I watched enough mainstream UK television to be qualified to answer the question.
