Flash Forward is a new TV show on ABC Thursday Nights. The premise of the show is that everyone in the world blacks-out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds (137 seconds). During the blackouts everyone has visions of where they will be 6 months in the future. When the world comes back around, there is mayhem and many deaths. Planes have crashed, people on operating tables die, people surfing have drown; leaving confusion and desperation in the people who have survived.
This episode was very confusing, but seemingly prepared us for future episodes by setting the characters up. Some of the characters are a bit boring to me, yet. But, others are very intriguing to me. The person I am most interested to know about Stanford Wedeck the head of the Los Angeles FBI. I find him interesting because in his flash-forward, he is sitting on a toilet reading the sports paper. I would like to see him place some bets on the winning teamsJ
I do question why they placed this story in Los Angeles? Wouldn’t Washington DC be a more appropriate place for the FBI to following an International case?
Finally, I was very excited to see Seth McFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, playing an FBI agent. Family Guy is one of my favorite shows, but Flash Forward is a totally different genre from a cartoon show. So, I am intrigued to see him acting.
I will watch this show again. I always like apocalyptical stories, and this one offers a bit of a twist!
