Re: Flashforward

I thought it was quite good.

It reminds me a little of The 4400 in the way it's done.

Re: Flashforward

Watched the webisode, didnt rate it really. Got the audio book to listen to though.
Poorly acted, didnt seem to have substance. But I am willing to give it a few episodes once available.

I think the TV series is only loosely based upon the book, taking just the basic premise of the "Flashforward".

Very loosely based, finished the audiobook yesterday which I really enjoyed and which would make a good film.

Still not sure about the tv series tho.

Re: Flashforward

Just watched the first episode of FlashForward. Wasn't bad. Good premise but badly produced in parts. Worth watching a couple more eps.

p.s. Seth McFarlane writes, directs, produces, animates, sings.... and now acts in FlashForward. Is there anything he can't actually do?

Re: Flashforward

At the end my partner really made me laugh when they suggested that they knew why the one guy was awake at the stadium.. Asking them why they burst into a rendition of........


"He's got his tin foil hat on...Hip Hip Hip Horay!!!"

Re: Flashforward

Not bad - but not the jaw-droppingly amazing show that people seemed to expect it to be.

Re: Flashforward

Thought it was pretty good apart from the very ropey of the cgi helicopter hitting the office building but overall i enjoyed it.

Series linked it and will look forward to watching it now True Blood is almost finished. ( 1 ep left )

Re: Flashforward

Any idea what the kangaroo was doing ?
How does the woman without a boyfriend get pregnant ?
Does the man without a flash forward have a future ?
Can the future be changed ?
Also a few other questions were thrown up.
I thought it was a very good first episode and look forward to seeing more.
