Both previous episodes. Thought it was pretty good. Nice to see a network still willing to spend money on a intricate drama and not throwing money at yet another reality show.

The reason they have so many reality shows is because they DONT have to really throw any money at it.

I think Network execs would be surprised at the following a well written show with a finite plot and time horizon would get. Announce that you will be having a 2 season serial and will commit to airing (at least online) all 2 seasons (unless of course it tanks in week 1).

See that's the big thing; people get fed up with geeting hooked on a show and then it gets cancelled midway through the run. They never tape enough shows in advance for a full run, so if it gets canned halfway through the season, you don't get a wrap up.

Fox had a show a few years back called Vanished, that started with the disappearance of the wife of a Georgia senator. The show was supposed to run 22 episodes, but Fox decided after about 8 weeks to cut the show to 13 episodes. Even at that the last 4 episodes were available online only, and by being forced to wrap in 9 fewer episodes, it changed the entire show.

The list of shows that gets canceled too soon is too long to get into.

I just hope they give Flash Forward it's full time.

They cut Traveler and Surface short. Both had some potential, but i think flash forward won't have a problem surviving.

you forget, these are the same people who did Lost. They will find a way if successful.

This really is one of my favorite new shows of the TV season, I really like it.

I only watched the first episode so far, but I do think they kinda painted themselves into a corner giving themselves a timeline (everybody saw their vision on April 29th). They should have kept the date ambiguous and just kept building and building.

And just like Lost, this show is giving me just enough to keep me interested and coming back.

alright well can we talk about the show...
any theories?
I got one, the murder the Nazi saw in his flash forward was Harolds. also, the baby the lady cop has in hers in the main cops. which breaks up his marriage resulting in his wifes flashforward. but i agree with other people saying that guy (the guy from the cops wifes flash forward) had soemthing to do with the passing outs....
anyone else

a group of crows is called a murder. That's the murder he was referring to.

so was that little brotha at the end awake throughout their blackout or was it just about to happen after the birds died and the clouds were swirling?

That was showing us what happened in Somalia in 1991 (the incident they were researching). I went back and made sure and it says on the screen "1991" because at first I didn't know what the hell was going on.

Were the clouds swirling? I couldn't really make out what was going on in the sky.
