Will he? We still aren't sure how time theory in FF works. The only action taken so far that seems to fight the future is burning the friendship bracelet. However, who's to say that she doesn't make him another one between now and 6 months from now?

I think the fiance assumed he was there. She didn't really take it as a serious question when he asked if she saw him there.

good point, the most simplest answer and we are all over the place with this
But he seems visibly upset when the lady cop got shot. She was the only other person who said she didn't see anything either. It bothered him so I'm thinking he's telling the truth. He didn't see anything.

or is lying


Sorry to jump in here, but I believe he is lying. I think he's in on it. I couldn't figure it out at first, but someone asked how he ended up so far away from his partner during the blackout, and that makes perfect sense. And I don't think the fiance saw him at the wedding. I think she is at her wedding, and she is just assuming that it's him waiting for her. But I don't think she actually saw him in her FF. Again, sorry for jumping in!

I think he's lying about passing out because he was too far from the car when they came to. However I think he is truly surprised about the murder. He is in on it but is now finding out from other peoples' FF that he is going to die.

Thoughts?

Thanks. This is my new favorite show. So who do you think is the father of the lesbian's baby? Our theory at work is that the main guy sleeps with her, gets her pregnant, the wife leaves and that's why he starts drinking. Then Dylan's father steps in to be a supporting friend and their relationship begins.

Questions/thoughts

Was the blonde lady the only one sitting in the back seat of the car?

Whatever that tower was was extremly tall and it appeared as if their was gases/sound waves or something making circles around the top of it.

What if the baby is Harold's and his fiance finds out and off's him.

Who thinks their is going to be another flash forward sometime later in the show?

I've come to the conclusion that there has to be. It's inevitable at this point, if the show continues past Season 1.....

Although I think whether or not this happens will completely depend upon the popularity of the show.

If the show does well and renewal looks possible, I think we'll see another flash forward.

If not, expect some sense of closure and no flash.

It's not a bad fallback for the show.

I hadn't thought about another flash forward, but you are probably right about it happening, probably as a cliff hanger for next season?

As far as the tower, I didn't even notice it that much. It looked more like some kind of aircraft in a smoke screen or wrapped in clouds flying over that town. I think that Somalia was a test run.

I think you guys are focusing too much on Harold being too far from the car to have blacked out. They never showed a shot of inside the car to say Harold wasnt there, and the lead detective was disoriented and just crawled out of his window, then walked around for a bit bewildered. I believe Harold was helping someone when the two spotted each other.

I'm thinking that those who didn't see anything are going to die unless they do something to change that, and his fiance seeing him at the wedding means he does end up changing his fate.

If he was in on it he would have just lied and said he saw something and I doubt he'd be helping their investigation.

But she doesn't see him, at least not from what has been revealed so far. All they show is her walking towards the alter with some people standing there and she assumes that he's standing there because who else could it be?

Also, him changing his fate because of her vision is impossible because everyone had simultaneous visions. Everyone's FF was a snapshot from the same timeline, so it would be impossible for her to see changes that he makes post FF.

As far as Demetri being in on it, that doesn't really make sense unless "they" knew his partner was going to be investigating them. It appears that he's just your standard field agent, not exactly the type of asset you bring into the loop on an operation like this.

It's not impossible if the visions are what would happen if everybody kept living as they are. If the lead detective flies to Australia and stays there, then his flash forward won't come true. If Harold wears a bullet proof vest and locks himself into a room with no windows on March 15th, his future will change. The Flash forwards could be a warning of what will happen so people have time to change them if they want.

Not Demetri, Harold. Which would explain why he doesn't turn in the guy with the bong, to make sure the FFs stay true. I have had a feeling since the first show that he is is on it, and I'm sticking with it. (For now at least!)

I think his fiance just assumed it was him that was there....also I don't think the tower had anything to do with it

I don't understand your point. You said that since the fiancee sees him at the wedding therefore he can potentially change his fate and still be there but that doesn't make any sense. If ATL's point was that it's impossible for him to be blank (coma/asleep/dead) and at the wedding in both flashforwards since they took place at the exact same time on Apr 29th. So he's either not at the wedding or he's lying about not seeing anything.

Which one is Harold? I have been so confused the past few pages because y'all keep referring to Harold as the one with the fiance who has the FF of their beach wedding. Isn't that Demitri, Miles from LOST? WTH is Harold?
