Wee Pip Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The show is called Flash Forward, for those wondering. Your title gave me chills! LOL. I went to bed after watching it and it kept coming into my dreams - didn't sleep real sound that night! But yes, it is addicting & I'll be watching it next week (and maybe missing more quality sleep). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 We just watched the new episode last night. I think the show has a lot of potential. You really have to wonder what Charlie and Dillon saw in their flash forwards. I also wonder what Dillon's father saw. I think the person who the suicidal doctor saw in his flash forward was the agent who was pregnant in the future. The drawing he was working on looked like her.

Avila Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think I should warn you all that this show will likely not be on long. Me liking it is usually the kiss of death for any new show, except for Lost. ;) And I really like it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kindermommy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 We've become fans too!! Although it will probably never be a "24" (our all time favorite) it is pretty darn intriguing so far!! I agree that it has great potential! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2GirlsTX Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 We watched it last night! Wow, it was good. I must say that this is the first TV show I have actually watched in numerous years. I believe the last series I watched was "Mad About You" so that should tell you something. What fun to watch a show again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WishboneDawn Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks for bringing this up. I'd meant to watch this show...It was taken from a novel by a Canadian Sci-fi author I really like, Robert J. Sawyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 And Life on Mars was an all-time favorite! :D We loved Life on Mars! What an amazing cast they had for that show! We are watching Flash Forward as well- great show so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessedwithboys Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 LOL... It's funny when I read a title like that and know exactly what it is referring to. I've watched both episodes and really like it so far. I just hope they don't drag out the story line. Other than that I'm already hooked.

hsmamainva Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Which one is Lloyd Simka??? I think that's the guy the doctor (Olivia) saw in her flashforward...the one she's supposed to be with in the future. I may be wrong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy loves Bud Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 That's right...he's the man Olivia saw in her flash forward. His son is her patient, and her daughter saw the boy in her flash forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2GirlsTX Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Thanks guys! My daughter commented that when the little boy was in the hospital and his father comes in, and Dr. Bryce is sitting by the boy, Dr. Bryce says that Dr. Beneford will be in in the morning to see him. Then Mr. Simka says "I'll wait for her" How did he know Dr. Beneford was a her? Dr. Bryce didn't say it was a her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profmom Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Did any Lost fans notice the Oceanic Airlines billboard? Yep -- or, at least, dh noticed and commented! I'm usually just along for the ride with TV, sitting with my laptop next to my dh. We joke about how many shows he has gotten us into that haven't made it, especially science fiction. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avila Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I am thinking Lloyd is the guy in the stadium, since Olivia, Charlie and Dylan all have memories during the blackout, but he doesn't seem to. And he had to be called in from somewhere else when Dylan was hurt and his mom was killed. I guess he could be D. Gibbons, but wasn't he still at the hospital with Dylan when the doll factory went up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will be the father I should say. :001_smile: Has anyone noticed that Lloyd is the same character/name as in the original novel? And Noh is like Lloyd's friend who also (in the book) discovered he was doomed to die? I like how they switched it up a bit. The book has 2 scientists racing to find out what is going on with a 21 year "gap" -- on TV it is 2 FBI agents with a 6 month "gap".

Aubrey Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think they're ramping up for the end of LOST--right before the last season, but in between seasons, they pull us in, even going so far as to recycle actors. My goodness, Richard Alpert in the lead? How cool. And Sawyer's ex running the bar? You know she was just yelling at her poor ex husband while she waited for Sawyer so she could yell at him in person. This is the future of LOSTies. They know what we want. (I hope.) Does anybody know if this show, too, has a set # of seasons? Because I'd like some reassurance that they know where they're going, so I can enjoy the ride.
