I'm hoping it won't 'cheese out' after the first couple of episodes like some shows of the past.

Re: FlashForward

just started watching this last night, am now caught up. Am a big fan so far, I just wonder how far they can take it. Will it be like Heroes, where after they reach the critical date that is the focus of the show, the show loses direction? Hope not, as I'm really enjoying it...

Re: FlashForward

Like the central premise, and it's very watchable, but sweet baby Wogan, there is some awful dialogue along the way!

Hope they get that ironed out before it becomes too irritating and overpowers what looks like a good show.

Stopped following it.

Re: FlashForward

What I don't get is the flash forward would be the most anticipated event in human history, why are most of the people doing menial tasks like the women in the flower shop arguing with a customer or the bloke taking a shit? surely everyone would be counting down to the event.

^^now that's a fine point right there -- hadn't thought about that, but you're exactly right...

What do you mean? The first flash forward was unanticipated? Has there been more flash forward in the show? I stopped following.

When they flash forward the see what they are doing in the future. They have established the time and date of the future event. Why would anyone be carrying out menial tasks on their own when the actual event happens?

Re: FlashForward

Maybe because if they didn't go on with their lives, things wouldn't happen as forseen?

Re: FlashForward

I thought there were like a billion people in times square? Would be a pretty lame show if all the main characters were there too?

Yeah I think that is how the show will pan out. Maybe some of them will change their fate while others no mater how hard the try cannot.

Re:

I suppose that my last comment was too much of a spoiler alert.

Sorry about that!

For those that have not seen this show yet, if you have some free time, Hulu it. I thought it sucked until I got passed the intro & blackout parts. Then it gets twisted from then on.
