FlashForward
Its a new series on ABC. The first episode came out yesterday.
Basically, every human on the entire planet blacks out for 2 minutes 17 seconds. During that time, they see 6 months into the future, and people either hope there visions come true, or people try and make sure the visions don't.
The first 20 minutes were 5/5 quality, then it slowed down for the remainder of the episode.
Overall - 4.5/5

After the knockout.
Remember, people were driving planes, and cars before the blackout.
I like hulu :D

the origional concept of everybody in the world blacks out at the same time, yet they find that there are some people who were up and about. But then they went into some time travel thing. Since i disagree with time travel, it makes me disinclined to acquiesce to their request of me liking it. I hope it gets less time travelly and more mystery of what happenedy which would make me want to see what happens.

There was nothing about time travel - the people just saw "visions" of a date in the future. Plus, we don't even know if those visions will come true or not.

What do you mean you disagree with time travel? peoples have done real life experiments! didn't you see back to the future?
but all jokes aside, you are traveling through what society has labeled 'time' right now :P so unless your a live for the moment kinda guy i don't see any reason to be against it.

yes, from the previews and the end of the show, their visions are starting to come true. But seeing visions of the future is the same as going into the future. Which would change what they would have done. If they hadnt had any visions then their actions would be very different from their actions after seeing the visions.

That isnt time travel. Thats not traveling through time in the sense that you are moving ahead of or behind the present. Which is what i dont agree with.

By that logic, me watching a video of a tropical vacation would be the same as me taking a tropical vacation.

not at all. If you actually were to go into the future, then what? you look at some stuff and you leave and come back to the exact same time that you left. No one should be able to prove you left because of that, so in reality you only saw a vision of the future, as you never physically left. This is assuming that the future is set in stone, not at all counting the fact that since you know what happens in that future you'll make decisions based off what you sad and you've changed the future. So in essence you will have not done anything since by the butterfly effect you would change the entire world that you saw.

That's with assumptions that are generally not made when discussing time travel and viewing the future.

They just finished their first season.

@ People outside of US trying to use hulu:
this may work. I haven't tried it because I have no reason to, as I live in the US.

Ultra surf (

Not as good as you said it was, a bit all over the place. I'd rate 3.25/5.

Well, you're assuming that you don't physically travel to the future, and that you can't interact with it.
Dan Cardin
2009-09-29 23:50:41
not. You technically would be physically moving the future, but in your travel back the present you would have to arrive back at the same time, else it wouldnt make sense, so it would seem to be the same.
I hadnt really thought about interacting with the future. that does change things slightly, but not really in practice since it all goes back to the future not existing.
Lance
2009-10-01 23:00:30
how do you know the future does not exist? (Of course the moment we start talking about what does and does not exist it becomes entirely semantics.) And even if it doesn't yet physically 'exist', you can still 'see' / predict it before it happens.
Before you drop a ball you can see that it will drop at 9.8m/s^2. You can say how long it will take to hit the ground, how many times it will bounce, in what direction it will bounce and so on, if you have the required information about the physical properties of it and its environment.
Dan Cardin
2009-10-02 02:42:35
that is predicting things in a controlled environment. The reason that its controlled is that it takes out all of the variables. Stick one person or thinking animal into the experiment, and you cannot predict anything. With however many billion people we have in the world, and it being impossible to 100 percent predict what any one of them will do means that you cant really predict any actual accurate future on the small scales.
As for the future existing, it cannot exist because people's decisions haven't been made yet and are never set in stone. (Im only talking about people specifically, not even including any of the endless other things that can effect outcomes.

Flash Forward Episode 2: FlashForward Season 1 Episode 2 dubbed “White to Play” was broadcast on ABC tonight.The pilot was decent, but the second episode was great.Do you recall when “Lost” was the best thing on TV ,when the characters made the show,their back-stories and how they interacted with each other was so fascinating to watch and you were hooked on every second of the series,well that is what is currently taking place on FlashForward.Here is the premise of the episode.
http://www.megavideo.com/?v=53618CHNHaven't seen it yet for myself, but it looks promising.
EDIT: Hmm, in my opinion it wasn't as good as the first episode; kinda slow.

Use :
http://www.ultrareach.com/ To get pass Hulu/Fox's or any other US Only crap.
Uses IE though.
So is this show worth getting into?

So is this show worth getting into?
To make a long sentence that could be put into 3 letters that will be typed by me to respond the the aforementioned comment about getting into this show and its worth, which is a accurate comment that you should take into consideration short.
Yes.

everything is like weird dude (i love it though). did u see the end? some how the gal is alive. so why cant the guy still be alive? i am guessing the show is going to say "ha ha. u tried to change the future, but u couldn't" type of a thing.
She should have died in the future… We never knew when, or how… So we will know in future episodes if him dying saves her.
I'm finally up to date with this again :) was like nah he isn't going to jump then splat XD

This is such a great tv show. Definitely one of the best I have ever followed and watched. Season 2 definitely throws some huge twists in and make everything intense!

Season two? what? (I live in UK, so we might be a bit behind)
I know the first season was split into two halves.
tbh, I love flashfoward, it's my favourite show at the moment (alongside with supernatural), I just think it is so awesome :D
