While watching Impact tonight there was a promo for a show called Flash Forward. The premise is that everyone on Earth blacked out for around 2 minutes.

"Flash Forward" on ABC
"Flash Forward" is a new show that I like with an ongoing mystery into a specific future. I think I am going to be hooked to this new show.
The biggest mystery is will this ABC series at least survive to April 29, 2010 and beyond it? Shows that I like in the recent past have been canceled early.... "Life on Mars" anyone?I'm still here. Are you?

Re: "Flash Forward" on ABC
I saw the pilot at Comic Con in July. I liked it, at least better than my wife did. It's very clearly and transparently being positioned as the show ABC would like us to follow after "LOST" leaves us, but it's simply no "LOST." I don't anticipate even half the obsessive fan culture that permeates their current hit. So I hope they don't continue down the path of regular "LOST" shoutouts and references (from plot devices to Oceanic Airlines billboards) and let "Flash Forward" have its own personality.

Ditto, agree too. Has a Lost vibe, but totally different. At one point, I even shout out loud, 'smoke monster!' Thank goodness it shows twice a week, as my DVR is just timered to the max right now.... too much good stuff!

Re: "Flash Forward" on ABC
I saw the episode on-line from the series offical web site and then from hulu.com.
It would be interesting to find out why those guys were after Mark in his future vision. Kind of interesting to note that so far no one in their future vision make any reference to the events that happened in the black out.

By the way, out of curiosity, I looked ahead to that date, and April 29, 2010 falls on a Thursday, the same day Flash Forward runs. Hmmm ... what's the date of the last episode of the last season of Lost?

Re: "Flash Forward" on ABC
The show already has one inconsistency that's annoying me. It's regarding Olivia (played by Sonya Walger, the the same actress who plays Penny in Lost) and the little boy recovering in the hospital.
When the little boy was wheeled in, he knew Olivia, but she'd never seen him before. This means he must have "met" her during his flash forward, but he couldn't have because Olivia was with his father. Besides, Olivia didn't recognize him.
I hope they explain how the kid knew her.

Re: "Flash Forward" on ABC
Well, we didn't get definite confirmation that his fiance saw him on the beach. She was getting married, but she probably just assumed the male figure waiting for her in the distance was Demetri.
I wonder what the crows have to do with anything.

Besides the humans did any other life on the planet blacked out? If the crows did while flying they would have died as they dropped from the sky.
Some how I don't remember the prison offical confirming the dead crows on the ground with in the prison.
