FlashForward 1X10: A561984 - Grading and Discussion

[Kataaran]

Channel 5 (the UK channel on which it airs) said it was the "Mid-Season Finale" so I guess so.

Looking forward to the second half of the season!

I look forward to watching "The boy whose face looks like an arse" and other such sensitive documentaries in its place.

And the only reason I posted this was that we got to see it in the UK before America!

Doesn't matter. The weekly thread is all yours now.

 

[Jim Gamma]

Why, have you stopped liking the show or something?

Why, have you stopped liking the show or something?

Aragorn does the Lost threads, which will start up again early next year, and the Genre Babe threads (which I presume is a lot of work) I'm guessing he just doesn't want the extra "responsibility" of doing another series' threads.

If you don't want to do the Flash Forward ones, Jim, I'll do them as right now the only series I'm "hosting" is House (and 24 when it comes back in January) so it's no bother for me to do them.

(Though I'd only post them based on US scheduling. It being a US show and all. )

 

[Jim Gamma]

We're usually the Monday after the US airs them, I just hope I don't forget! :P When does it start airing again, anyway? (This means I'm happy to do 'em, just didn't want to step on anyone else's toes.)

^Lemme guess, "Back on topic"?

OK, so on topic... I thought this was an excellent episode, both for character development and the "Huh?!" moment at the end (without being too spoily I hope!). The thing this show suffers from is the same as (IMO) CSI suffers from, in that there are a large number of characters who I can't remember their names immediately. This is also true of some Star Trek episodes too, but Star Trek isn't meant to be a serialised show (unless you count late DS9 and some of ENT).

 

[Trekker4747]

T&G, unless you really want to do it, I'll gladly host these threads.

 

[Procutus]

So is anyone watching it live right now on ABC?

 

[Procutus]

Oh boy, now I see what was meant by the above comment regarding alternate timelines.





The Hobbit looks rather surprised by that revelation.

 

[Trekker4747]

It has been an interesting episode so far.

 

[Procutus]

It has been an interesting episode so far.

Much, much better than the last one.

 

[Procutus]

Well just the serial number of the gun alone doesn't prove anything.

 

[Trekker4747]

That lady must smoke like 8 packs of cigarettes before she goes on camera.

 

[Procutus]

Well, Benford has some issues, but I don't see him offing Sulu.

Then again, I didn't see him kidnapping the Iranian gal from 24 either.

 

[Procutus]

That lady must smoke like 8 packs of cigarettes before she goes on camera.

Probably. She always sounds that way, though.

 

[Procutus]

This CIA guy is starting to get on my nerves.

 

[Procutus]

Another familiar face from 24. But is he D. Gibbons or Suspect Zero?

 

[Anwar]

Wedek? Yeah, I wonder if Mark and Demitri are going to bother giving him any of the info they gathered from their trip.

And Cigarette Woman has her own room of crazy to mirror Marks'.

Is it just me, or is D Gibbons giving off a Tobin Bell feeling?

Anywho, you'd think Olivia would at least hold some resentment towards Lloyd for admitting he played a role in the deaths of 20 million people. No amount of "Daddy loves his little boy" would make a Doctor swore to protect life not feel a little upset at the guy.

Did that chich have Vulcan ears?
