Flash Forward - Page 7

Seth Macfarlane getting shot was a high point, and I like FAMILY GUY. I like the show.It is holding my interest, but I confess, Penny is getting really annoying. Don't really care about the Japanese girl.

I can't be the only one to laugh out loud when they spotted "the mole" putting sugar in her coffee, and then immediately found every other instance when she did that on the surveillance tapes, which cross referenced automatically to when the leaks occurred. This show is so dumb sometimes.

Don't give even the slightest shit about Japanese girl, Cancer Doc and his Pointless Friend, or the marital problems of Mark and Penny. Yawn.

I just don't get how retarded one couple can be.
"In the future I've left home, I'm depressed, and you're with another man".
"I know how we can solve this. You leave home now".
"I don't see any possible flaw in this plan. Let's!"

Agreed!

Other than this stuff, I'm really enjoying FlashForward now. The insane killing spree that the discovered Mole went on was pretty great, really saved the episode for me. I was kind of groggy when watching the last scene, but was it revealed that the lesbian wannabepregnant agent is a mole at the end?

Anyone else still watching?

The lesbo mole is a double agent. Simon grew back the finger he lost when he was kidnapped. The dude that shot Brandon Lee used to experiment on people, and give them flashforwards. He's dead now though. He experimented on Bedford's wife, but I guess she doesn't remember.

I watched it last night. I guess I've lost the thread of the show, though. May have to go back and rewatch some things as I'm not retaining info even on the stuff that made sense before.

I've been watching it and it's been a hell of a lot better since it came back from the hiatus. AlcoholicSponser is over in Afghanistan looking for his daughter who got kidnapped by (Chris) Jericho. Yeah, lesbo mole is a double agent apparently. I didn't notice simon having his finger back, that's pretty ridiculous though. I don't know why they cut his finger off, did they not realize they would have to keep him fingerless for the rest of the show? Haha, forgot... this is FlashForward, the show where a worldwide catastrophe that's like 9/11 times 1 million was cleaned up in 2 weeks.

D. Gibbons/ Dyson Frost is a bad man... he experimented on savants and gave them hundreds of flash forwards, making them record all that they saw. Then, they killed the savants once they finished with them. Classy.

Agent Kno/Cho survived his assassination day in the previous episode, and Dyson Frost died instead.

When Simon was standing at the board, he spread both hands wide, and he clearly had ten full fingers. Also, lesbo FBI didn't have any scar on her tummy from being shot earlier. She had a nice tummy though.

Simon having all 10 digits sums up this show. Lots of big ideas that they think'll work ("Let's cut off Managhan's finger! We went through with a threat! It'll be badass!") but end up being horribly mangled or ignored as soon as the next big idea comes along.

Though I'm not sure if the magical re-growing finger is more retarded than the magic computer zoom that can identify a RING from thousands of yards away. It's a pretty close call.

Darn it! I'm starting to enjoy this show. Stop bringing in logic!

EW says it's been cancelled.

It was on okay show, but once the mystery of what caused the flashforwards was revealed, it's been kinda boring. Hopefully they will get enough airtime to wrap it up nicely.

Just realized...Annabeth Gish and Courtney B. Vance. It's a "The Last Supper" reunion! Quick, get Ron Perlman a cameo!

Looking back I wonder who thought this premise was a great idea.

Go back to the beginning of this thread. Evidently Dickson did.

I've only watched about 4 episodes of the show. I don't care to follow up. What caused the flash-forwards?

I'm not gutted this got canceled but the fact that V got renewed over it really irks me. FF is atleast trying to do something interesting while not accomplishing it most weeks whereas V seems content in being a below average adventure cop show masquerading as a scifi drama. This had so much more potential, some of the characters like Dimitri, Lloyd atleast seem human compared to the robots on V.

For those that want to know, here's how it ended:

(Spoilers)


The bad guys put a bomb in the FBI building to destroy MOSAIC.

Simon tries to stop a second blackout. He fails, and at 10:14pm, on April 29, 2010, the world has another flashforward. This time, to the year 2015.

We see Mark Bedford running to escape the explosion in the FBI building. He reaches the window just as the bomb explodes, and the blackout hits. It's not clear if he survives.

We see Mark's daughter have her flashforward. In it, she turns to someone and says, "They found him."

Another shot of the FBI building exploding.

THE END.

This is cancelled right, because that really felt like as season finale as opposed to a series finale.

They could have at least redone the ending flashforward to give some closure to the series.

It ended with everyone pretty much being where they should be.

All the flashforwards came true, more or less.

I will say it again, ABC renewed the wrong scifi show. Compare this finale to V's absolute limp dick of a finale. I mean there's not even any competition. Atleast FF tries to have fun with itself (Mark's hilarious slo-mo run to escape the bomb, Japanese lady creating a distraction by shouting in japanese "Every body look at me.... I'm a Japanese citizen, I have rights LOL).

I'm with Swanson on this. FlashForward is an extremely dumb show but the stuff that he mentioned, plus the hilarious scene where the FBI director waited for one of the assassins in the bathroom stall... and then kicked the door COMPLETELY OFF THE HINGES and shot the guy, is stuff that I didn't mind tuning in for every week. V bores the absolute hell out of me, Flash Forward really only did so when they focused on cheating wife and the kids, or cancer guy searching for the Japanese girl.

If for nothing else, FF was fun to watch during the over the top action scenes. I could see the show getting completely repetitive, but it would have been cool to see how they would have approached the next season... I'm guessing they would have jumped ahead 5 years.

I have to agree. I'm going to miss Flash Forward.

Okay I'm worthless, but I just finished watching a long eight episode marathon of this show over the past two days.

What a major fuck you to the poor fans who managed to stick with the show for the full season. They wrapped up exactly nothing, and turned some of the characters into rampaging assholes after the fact. Bryce? Nicole still had a flash forward where she was DROWNING and he just didn't give a fuck.
Olivia and Lloyd, playing kiss kiss while her (not so drunk) husband is probably being killed. And they know he is being killed, but they don't care. And the kid is downstairs agonizing over her dad being killed and they still don't care. They need to kiss! It's their density!

We never found out why Jericho was connected to Mosaic. Stupid Iraqi doctor, "Your daughter is DEAD. Cremate her already. Whoops, my bad. There's her pulse!"
Janis being wheeled off by the bad guys, she's probably dead. What was the point of showing us throughout the entire season that the future isn't written yet, if none of that was reflected on the actual day they all saw?
Fuck this show.

You forgot the bad guys charging into a building to kill Benford even though they'd already set bombs to go off at that exact moment.

It was a staggering work of idiocy and horrific storytelling.

I've been hulu'ing this show for the past 18 episodes and I've finally had it with the stupidity...

 

Olivia: Hey honey, remember how I see myself with another man in my flashforward?  And how you're drinking again over the case?

 

Mark: Yeah?

 

Olivia: Maybe it's better if we move far away so it wont come true.  I don't love that man and I would never cheat on you.

 

Mark: Makes sense, but I've gotten some new information about my flashforward where my involvement is the key to saving tens of millions of lives.  I love you and our little girl, but you married an FBI agent, so you knew you'd have to make hard choices like this.  So it's better if we stay.  All you have to do it NOT CHEAT ON ME and we're golden.  By the way, I haven't been drinking and I never will.

 

Olivia: Honey, that's really not going to work for me.  I think it's best if you move out of the house.

 

Mark: All you have to do is not sleep with the guy and we're fine.  I wont drink, I swear.  Do you think maybe the reason I start drinking in my flashforward is BECAUSE you start fucking another guy?

 

Olivia: Hmmm...makes sense, but I still think you need to leave.  

 

Mark: Fine.  I still love you.  Remember, all you have to do is avoid the guy and not fool around with him.  You still love me, don't you?

 

Olivia: Of course.

 

=Olivia shows up at the guy's house and kisses a man she previously wanted nothing to do with=

 

 

 

should have checked this thread first to save you some time.

Sad. This summed up the entire goddamn season.

 

Still feeling full of resentment over the Bryce/Nicole situation. Fuck you show!
