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.


I agree. So now you have to ask yourself, why did they have these flashforwards? If they weren't actually seeing the future, then how did these people have the same "memories" and what is it trying to tell them?

I like where this is going.

I think its one of those multiple possible outcomes type scenarios. Everyone saw one possible outcome. Now with this new development, people are going to start taking actions to prevent this possible outcome. The trick will be what to do and when to do it. You can never be sure that your action will not end up causing what you saw in your flashforward or if they will end up stopping your flashforward from coming true.

ETA: Interestingly, we've seen people killing theirself because they had no flashforward. We know there are many of the characters that do not want their flashforward to come true (drinking, marriage ending). But those that actually have something to look forward to ( I mean something really good like money/power/etc) I could see a faction getting very involved with making sure certain flashforwards come true. There are so many directions it could go... Cool show with a ton of potential.
