FlashForward: Difference between revisions

Janis Hawk, their co-worker at the FBI, has a vision of herself pregnant. Olivia, Mark's wife, sees herself with another man. Demetri doesn't have a vision at all, leading him to believe that [[Your Days Are Numbered|he will be dead in six months]]. Mark himself has a vision of his own [[Room Full of Crazy]] with clues about what caused the Blackout (as well as him falling off the wagon). And Mark's daughter Charlie says there will be "no more good days."

 

 

 

If you're just getting started on watching this show, know the [[Wild Mass Guessing]] page for this show has been divided into folders letting you read theories as you go without being spoiled.

* [[Action Girl]]: Janis Hawk, who knows tae kwando and manages to {{spoiler|shoot an assassin dead even while bleeding from a gut wound}} in "Gimme Some Truth."

* [[Actor Allusion]]: In episode four, Olivia calls Mark "The [[Shakespeare]] of children's stories," which is probably a reference to Joseph Fiennes's role in [[Shakespeare in Love]].

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Double subverted. At first, the fact that most characters have visions of themselves in the future seems to show that none of those characters are going to die before April 29. But after the {{spoiler|Self inflicted death of Al Gough, it is now believed that the future can be changed and that anyone without a flash forward can still live, and likewise, any with a flash forward can still die}}.

* [[Arc Words]]: Mark's whole [[Room Full of Crazy]].

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "Have you heard of the double-slit theory?" "Well, I did a little experimenting in college..."

* [[A God Am I]]: This is Simon's viewpoint on the fact that {{spoiler|his experiment maybe caused the blackout.}}

* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: Flosso [[Card-Carrying Villain|intentionally invokes this.]]

* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: {{spoiler|Simon}}.

* [[Token Minority]]: Mostly averted, as there are three of the six regular cast members playing FBI agents are black, as is Demetri's fiancee. Lynn Whitfield and Gina Torres have also appeared. Still only one Asian regular, but he's co-lead and has been getting [[Character Development]], so...

** Now the Japanese girl in Bryce's vision, Keiko, seems to be getting a bigger role.

** Also, to many, Mark Benford. In the first block of episodes, it wouldn't be a stretch to say he was in the running for most hated character. After the hiatus, he has become much more level-headed, proactive, decisive and mature about his responsibilities.

* [[Viewer-Friendly Interface]]: All the time.
