FlashForward - The Discussion Thread

I need a peeking through my fingers emoticon. I love this show.

The girl reacting to the kangaroo and saying "That is the best costume I have ever seen" was just LOLtastic!!! I laughed so loud I think I scared my cat.

What exactly is the relationship between Obi Wan and Mark?

[BigB08822]

I'm trying to think of reasons that Dylan and his dad would be in the house that night. What if they move in because they are in need as if he loses his house or something? First, it seems really far fetched because I don't think whats his name would allow it. If he did, then what was that guy doing in her bedroom? Maybe he was sleep walking or something? I just really don't see them having an affair within the next 6 months that gets so involved that he and his son move in. As to why she would call him a pet name, maybe she didn't realize who he was and thought it was her husband.

Oh, I just saw a Lost commercial. CANT WAIT!

Luckily I'm tivo'ing the show, I could rewind and see the kangaroo that I missed while making dinner

:eek:

All you west coast people hurry up and watch. I have questions.

[Carmen Ovsiannikov]

Trying to figure out how Olivia and Lloyd end up happening and how Dylan and Charlie know one another makes my head spin. BigB08822, you are right that it seems impossible that Olivia and Lloyd will become that involved within six months unless something drastic happens with Olivia and Mark. What was someone saying about a self-fulfilling prophecy? With Mark's overreacting to Lloyd, he may end up pushing his wife away.

I also wonder if Janis will really end up pregnant. Her second surgery has rendered her for all intents and purposes unable to conceive. Unless the writers go the soap opera route and Janis all of a sudden has a miracle pregnancy or maybe she'll be artifically inseminated.

Eeeew Creepy Charlie just showed up. I have to remember "Charlie's" name in this show is Simon.

Another great episode. I like the fact that I'm questioning whether the flashforwards are trustworthy afterall and I don't think things are as straight forward as they seem.

I think the stage is set for the breakup due to Mark's previous drinking problems.

Great episode tonight (loved the kangaroo scene :lol: ) and I'm very intrigued by Simon and what all is going on between him and Lloyd. What kind of experiment could cause a worldwide blackout??! :eek:

What exactly is the relationship between Obi Wan and Mark? Isn't Obi Wan Mark's AA sponsor? What kind of experiment could cause a worldwide blackout??! :eek: Seemingly something to do with quantum physics where alternative realities exist side-by-side and different futures can be determined. If so, that means the FFs are only a possibility rather than predetermined fate.

Thanks. If you miss 5 minutes of this show, you miss key details. The writing is excellent.

The kid playing Lloyd's son is a great little actor. I almost wonder if he really is autistic.

I guess we saw only part of Dylan's flash forward so he knew the address and Charlie told him its his house too. How do we get from there to them knowing each others names and Charlie knowing that there are no more good days/D. Gibbons is a bad man? I still don't get why Mark would not have pried her flash forward out of her so Mark would know she knew of Dylan.

Not that I get this, but this is interesting:

Is that sort of like self fulfilling prophesy?

Can't remember the guy on the train's name. Do we think he killed the girl? And the conversation with he and Lloyd in the car - giving away too much or misdirection?

Last night, when I saw Olivia, Mark, & Lloyd in the house at the same time, I wondered if she was actually looking at lloyd in her FF, but was addressing Mark, who might have been sitting there as well.

Sounds like it to me.

Simon - I came away thinking he killed the girl.

Last night, when I saw Olivia, Mark, & Lloyd in the house at the same time, I wondered if she was actually looking at lloyd in her FF, but was addressing Mark, who might have been sitting there as well.

If it was all the same time, Mark was in his office drinking and being pursued by the gunmen. Or do you think his FF was what he was dreaming while he was asleep in a chair? Could be I guess. But wasn't she sort of scantily clad and Lloyd shirtless? There has to be some explanation, but if Lloyd and Dylan were recent acquaintances/patients/houseguests, would they be dressed that way in the common parts of the house?

[rfisher]

Well, they've established a prior issue between Mark and Olivia that could cause them to be separated which could exacerbate his drinking and so on.

SimonnotCharlie was creepy. Just when we got used to *Charlie* being a good guy on Lost rather than annoying. :lol:

I'm so thrilled this was picked up for the rest of the season by ABC.
