what channel does this come on?

the show was letting me down but tonight's episode got real. It was a good set up for upcoming weeks with some serious plot twists.

Sweet. I can't wait to watch it tomorrow at work.

Watching this last night, I was starting to think how unrealistic the flashforwards are. Take the black dude and British chick for example. When that day actually comes and his phone goes off, would he non-chalantly say "Excuse me, I've got to take this" or would he be like "Holy fricking shite, We're in the middle of our flashforward!!!!" Would she have just gone slowly over to the window to check on the bird, or would she have freaked the frick out because it was actually happening. I just don't think the reactions in the flashforwards are what they would be in real life because the people are reacting to what is happening instead of reacting to the fact that they are right in the middle of their flashforward.



So I think that somehow--maybe another blackout--everyone will have to eventually forget about their flashforwards. It's the only way they can actually come true.


Also, the self-fullfilling prophesies are pretty mind-bending and cool. The "ghosts" committed suicide because they didn't have a flashforward. But the reason they didn't have a flashforward is because they committed suicide. Like Lost, it's really cool to think about and is going to take some pretty smart writers to have the forethought to actually pull it all off.
