Not a bloody clue, but looks like it will be quite good once it gets going.

As "good" as lost???

A sort of "lets make up the story as we go along/still have money/but yet no clue" series?

It's getting a bit Dan Brown by joining the dots for you a little to much.

Looks like a good start. Did anyone see the street ad for "Oceanic Airlines"? ie, reference to the crashed flight in Lost. Nice touch.

Lol @ milf guy

I thought it was really good. I get the feeling it will be like lost but just a little less complicated. Lost has just become silly with about a million sub-links and tangents meaning that to truly keep up you need to have watched each episode about 3 times each and read loads of internet blogs, forums, theories, etc. Whilst Flashforward seems similar in nature, I get the impression it might be more streamlined and easier to keep up and enjoy it at face value without having to spend hours on the internet to understand what you just watched.

I enjoyed it too.

I didn't get into Lost but like these cliffhanger type serials. Bet I miss one of the 22 episodes or end up with about 5 to watch on Sky+ and lose interest. That's what happened with the last 24.

I wasn't that impressed to be honest, the second episode is on tomorrow (Thursday) night in the US so I hope it gets a bit better.

Very very similar to lost.

Opening scene for starters - right in the thick of things, then an x hours earlier.

Bit bizarre to see the kangaroo bouncing up the middle of the road - does that bring back any memories from lost?

Overall I enjoyed the show, entertained me for 45 minutes and I even set series link on my sky HD box

Kangaroo probably escaped from a Zoo.
Was the guy at the ball game (the one who didnt fall asleep) the father of the young boy in the hospital ??, Has a relationship with the Doc to get close to her I suppose estranged husband (the FBI dude) as he will become.

Something to keep us busy for the next 6 years

This will be another series I will probably not bother with.

I can never keep up with series you need to watch from the first episode and never miss a single one.

I never watched a single 24 episode until someone lent me the box set. I deliberated avoided Lost as well, despite that lovely doris Evangelistalilna Lilliput, or whatever her name is, being in it.

yeah, surprised no-one else has mentioned it. he's actually a pretty good serious actor, but i can't take any scene he's in seriously as i'm expecting him to look at the screen, put on a Peter voice and say 'Holy Crap!'

looks like a pretty good series brewing up, shame it'll only be on peasant vision for a couple of series then get bought up by Sky though

He's the bloke from American Pie (bit part) and the Harold and Kumar tripe films, and yes, he's awful!

I hope it does go off on a strange tandem, that sounds more interesting!



I thought the show started slow and I get the feeling they will keep it going for far too long. I've really enjoyed the first series of both Lost and Heroes but given up on them when the end did not look in sight.

I enjoyed it. Some interesting plot-lines forming and it was all linked up well so far.

It looks interesting, but like a few others have said I'll probably lose interest in it by the time series 2 comes on.
Same thing happened with Lost and Heros.
Has Lost finishes now then?
The thing that puts me off these American series is on the planner 1 of 22!!! that's a he'll of a lot of tv to have to watch

It is a good idea, I'm just finding it excruciatingly slow. I am enjoying series 2 of Fringe though.
