FlashForward: "Gimmie Some Truth" 10/22 - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
Was just about to say the same thing. I feel bad for the people that bailed.
I should point out that it is for completley superficial reasons.
That's a bad thing?
Not at all.
Not at all.
Works for me!
This was pretty good, though I'm more anxious to see what's going on with Dominic's character next week. See you guys then.
Not all-together unattractive women kissing.
Oh and something about a Senate meeting and funding for an FBI investigation of the Day of Mosaic or whatever.
and some pylons in Somalia
That's literally all that really is uncovered about the mystery of the flash forwards in this whole episode.
I was not impressed with this episode at all.
I'm watching this episode right now, and so far I'm not impressed, again. These episodes feel repetitive, boring, and just not interesting. They discovered the Pylons, but something tells me not much is going to happen with them in this episode. Hate arc based shows that stall and people just say "filler" when episodes should never be wasted. If you're not going to do an episode regarding to the plot, than make it regarding to the character.
If you don't like the character interactions, you're screwed.
I loved this episode. Anyone get a Martin Lawrence vibe from the FBI Mosaic head?

It felt like an episode of West Wing for dummies. It's a weird reality where Clinton and Palin exist, along with Katrina and September 11th, but all the main politicians are different. Feh.
I liked it up until the end. The whole miracle escape from an exploding car, and then all four agents, without a scratch, come out guns blazing. I also thought the music was an odd choice, like last week. I think they were trying to be ironic or something with the music choice last week, but this week? I just don't know. I thought the gun battle was too over the top. The closing scenes with the female FBI agent were much better done.
I enjoyed all the political shenanigans though. The show also casts Wettick(sp) in a darker light and I'm curious to know exactly what pissed off Clemente so much. I'm glad that Wettick wouldn't completely be a background piece. So, overall it wasn't a bad episode, but at the same time, there's been two weeks of lackluster episodes-the previous week the episode moved too slow, this past week the pacing and content were good but it ran off the rails at the end. I'm sticking with the show, but I'm not as enthused as I was after seeing the pilot and second episode.
Also, firehawk12 makes a good point. I didn't realize the weirdness of it. How can Palin/Clinton/9-11 exist and there's these different politicians? Perhaps they should've left out the Palin-Clinton references. Unless they had an Obama, or Obama-like president. They could've done an alternate reality like 24.

Maybe by then they just got sick of the partisan types and through them all out.
This is going to be a character driven show, as we've found out. I think it's impatient of people to want to already know what caused the flash forwards ASAP. This show is going to be drug out through at least 22 episodes... so deal with it.
I wonder what effect getting shot will have on this future pregnancy.
