What, nobody was interested in watching this last Thursday?

Well, this post by Graeme McMillan over at io9 pretty much echoes my reaction...

Have not seen it, but methinks John Cho is better suited to sci-fi than stoner comedy.

I watched it and overall, I liked it but I did have a couple of nitpicks.

First off, I hate kids. But I would imagine that if the entire world blacked out and everything went to shit, that most parents would drop whatever they´re doing and get home to their kids. These guys are like "well, I talked to the babysitter and she could stay a couple of hours longer. What, the nanny doesn´t have a family of her own?

Secondly, when they finally do go home, how the fuck would they get home? The roads would be blocked and sealed from all the crashed cars. Unless the FBI office and the hospital are on the same block as their house, it would be impossible to get home that quickly.

Tonight I had a third helping of FLASHFORWARD…..with a little Gina and Morena on the side!

Since he knows we enjoy watching si/fi-futuristic media entertainment… my wife’s boss at work asked if she’d seen the pilot episode of FlashForwad. We hadn’t, but we did catch up. Now after it’s third installment I’ve gotten to see Gina Torres again and Morena made appearances for the “V” pilot beginning Nov. 3rd

Both ladies are as lovely as ever and I see that ABC is corralling most of our BDHs. That’s Ok by me. Now we need to get Jewel, Summer, Ron and Sean on there with Adam coming in on FlashForward as NSA and Joss playing poker with Castle.

Anyway, FlashForward is building slowly and I’ll try to catch as many of the episodes as I can. Gabriel Union has come aboard as “Zoe” and I enjoyed her on NBC’s…..LIFE series until it was cancelled.

Hey maybe we’ll see Gina’s FlashForward as taking care of her new son while watching episodes of Firefly.

What ya think?

It seemed pretty exciting, at least the first epp. Independence Day meets Lost. With a little soap opera. Librarian chick is still hot, and bitchy.

Will it follow the book?

A particle God doesn’t want us to discover: Higgs boson

Could the Large Hadron Collider be sabotaging itself from the future, as some physicists say

Explosions, scientists arrested for alleged terrorism, mysterious breakdowns — recently Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun to look like the world’s most ill-fated experiment.

Is it really nothing more than bad luck or is there something weirder at work? Such speculation generally belongs to the lunatic fringe, but serious scientists have begun to suggest that the frequency of Cern’s accidents and problems is far more than a coincidence.

The LHC, they suggest, may be sabotaging itself from the future — twisting time to generate a series of scientific setbacks that will prevent the machine fulfilling its destiny.

Even Five, the TV channel, has got in on the act by screening FlashForward, an American series based on Robert Sawyer’s novel of the same name in which the start-up of the LHC causes the Earth’s population to black out for two minutes when they experience visions of their personal futures 21 years hence. This gives them a chance to change that future.

Not too many unexplained threads, except...

Select to view spoiler:


If you suspect you're gonna be murdered by 3 shots in the chest, why not start wearing a bullet proof vest?



Needs more humor. Like if you're gonna die, let's have fun with it... Like terminally ill patients tend to do. Mouth-to-mouth was the only joke I recall.

FBI as heroes stinks like propaganda to me. I still smell the bacon at Waco, and every MLK and Dead Presidents Day. You can listen to FBI's taped confession to bombing WTC in 93 (Emad Salem). My neighbor Gene Rightmeyer was an ATF agent in charge of the Good Ole Boys Roundup, for FBI and cops hanging blacks and raping women for fun. Then there's J Edgar Hoover in a dress, pretending the Mafia didn't exist for 50 years. Homeland Security lost 2 of its jets running 10-tons of coke. FBI was MIA on 9/11, putting out BOLOs for Israeli Mossad art students, in a Catch And Release Program. No mention of these historical facts in Flash.

Just FBI vs CIA in mortal combat, which is real enough.

Selling white domestic terrorist suicide bombers, out of ADL's MIAC Report.

The only Christians are [gay pedophile?] Catholic priests, as Kosher Hollywood tends to hype. Never a good Baptist, Moslem, Hindu or Buddist. Not even a rabbi. Selling atheism (Communism = Gubmit is God)?

Of course its normal to read all emails via Echelon. The Constitution is dead.

Only Nazis say the word Kaballah. Never mind that jews ran Nazi Germany, and 55-million Christians were Holocausted in WW2. Typical propaganda by the jews who own this show. How about an Israeli, Russian, Chinese or Turkish mass murderer for a change?

Mosaic Collective is the savior, never mind that collective is a term for kosher Communism.

Cast of foreign actors playing Americans. More outsourcing.

Bottom line, if you don't get a gubmit job, you're Little People.

Other than that, good SFX, chases, fights, gunfights, sex, lighting.

And the Blue Hand(s) clue...

Sad that ABC wants to kill you, for profit.

Can you please not ruin other people's threads you prick?

Go spew your craziness in your own threads, so sane people can avoid them.

Reality is scary, ain't it?

That's why scifi is a psyop.

I find it disturbing that FlashForward TV has deviated so far from the book. The book made it crystal clear from beginning to end that gubmit perped the massmurder, from the POV of the scientists who did it. But the TV show is doing the opposite, making FBI as the heroes to identify with. But even the book refused to arrest the massmurderers for criminally negligent homicide -- it's an excusable accident to murder millions of sheeple ("the world is 'overpopulated' anyway", even kids of the scientists must be sacrificed).

Quote:

Abbie Bernstein: Do you believe a government can be shamed into or out of what it's doing by the actions of individuals?

Joss Whedon: The idea was to say that people can make a difference, they can show the wrongs that are being done. They can speak out against them and make people aware of them. They can even create giant scandals. Sometimes they can topple governments. The point is that the truth is always more important than the power structure, and whether you make a dent or not, the fact that you succeeded in trying is a victory.
-Serenity - The Official Visual Companion, page 35



Joss also appeared on History Channel's Star Wars The Legacy Revealed, which declared George Bush a "dictator" perping "false-flag domestic terrorist bombings against his own nation", just like Adolf Hitler in the Reichstag Fire and Operation Himmler:

Your insanity is far scarier, you paranoid moron. Now, put on your tin foil and bugger off, no one hear wants to listen to your retarded ramblings and constant "cut'n'paste" bullshit.

Go. Away.

Obama's unrestrained FBI: Is this America?

I find it disturbing that all the writer interviews for FlashForward take place on the set for the FBI office, with the giant FBI seal of approval behind them.
