New TV Show - FlashFoward

Post by jiminphilly »

Anyone happen to catch the premier?

Decent looking sci-fi in the same mold of LOST (major event in the beginning of the story, multiple characters with their own storylines etc..) In the premier, the entire world goes unconscious for roughly 2 minutes and allegedly everyone experiences some sort of "flash- forward" of 6 months ahead. The story is centered around 6-8 characters (and probably more) and what they saw.

The graphics of the post-event world are pretty cool especially when they show a grainy video of an entire sports stadium (Detroit Tigers) going unconscious with the exception of one dark figure who walks out of the stadium.

ABC.com or Hulu.com have the full episode available to watch if you missed it the first time.

time travel and reversing the past seem like such a cultural fascination....that and total apocalypse or the domination of machines/technology.......so, that seems like pretty dark stuff in the cultural unconscious.

you go to a movie and sit through 26 minutes of various previews and it's all about the destruction of the world by one of the above (or a virus).

and the occasional "Time Traveller's Wife" type chick "true love and soul mates" romance flick.

Been watching it on Hulu since the youth football team I am coaching usually plays on Thursdays nights... I am hooked.

DVRed the first episode and watched it the other night. It seemed pretty good, though based on a ridiculous premise. Missed part 2 however and may have to Hulu.

The show is loosely based on this book of which I have never read.
