FF 1.3 - For the birds

I'm so torn on Flashforward, at one moment it's giving me the chills but then the next moment i can see all of the plot holes in it. Now when Lost presents us with plot holes we've all taken it on faith that they will in some way answer them. I can't believe I just said that Lost would answer something, the rain outside must be getting to me.

So what do we have, let's start off with the worst actor on the show, the AA guy. Turns out that it was his daughter in the ground, or a part of her anyway so that seems to suggest that she really is dead. I'm not so sure I remember in the pilot that they only returned a part of her that weighted like 30lbs or something, so maybe it was just a leg or something, who knows. Anyway I'm not sold on that story being that, but who knows.

Now on to Harold (or the Asian guy if you don't get the reference) very interesting when you consider that he didn't have a flashforward so that pretty much suggests that he will be dead. Also the woman calling from Hong Kong (I've seen Amazing Race enough times to recognize HK when I see it) telling him that he was going to be killed on March 15th (beware the ides of March eh) seems to suggest that it's true. But hold the phone, she answered his post on the website so how do we know for a fact that she is telling the truth. When you consider that the Nazi guy was full of crap, that might have been the theme for the episode. Additionally his fieance saw what she thought was their wedding day, so really who knows.

And this is what I find the most intreging about the show, but also the most distressed by it, how do we know that what happen in the future really is what is going to happen, and how much of the current activities are all being based on the future so that the future becomes self fulfilling. Meaning that just by the fact that they are convinced that something is going to happen, they do all the things that will make it happen. That Mark guy saw himself drinking and his wife Penny (Oh wait wrong show, PPPPPEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYY - Desmond) cheataing on him from her vision. Seems like the stress of all of that is going to make it all happen after all. Like the Nazi guy said, it's a game of chicken, you're stareing down the future but do you swerve to avoid it, and how do you know that it isn't going to swerve the same way you do?

But here is the one thing that has really been bugging me about the show. Who the hell is getting married at 8 pm in Hawaii? Who is getting an ultrasound at 10 pm at night. Why is the daughter up at 10 pm at night, and how the hell does she know so much from 2 minutes? I think that these are some major holes that need to be filled and fast, I can go with a lot of crap, hell if you've ever seen any of my theories on Lost than you'd think I was crazy, but all of it logically has to make sense in some fashion.

And now for the final two pieces of my "mosaic" first being Harold again (I really need to learn their names) finding the customs agent and his bong. If it were you wouldn't you turn the dude in? I mean if for no other reason than to change something. I actually think in this shows case you can change the future, but we're not going to find that out for sure until closer to the season end. Besides I like the Asian guy in the show and if they kill him off well then what do you do next season if there is one?

And the final piece is the murder of crows, I have to admit that was a FANTASTIC play on words! The big tower thingy that seemed to cause the black out in Africa was very strange too. Which leads to my first completely insane theory for the show, and I mean insane. It's aliens, they moved the Earth, huh?!?! There is one image that is very odd, when Mark blacked out in the first episode and everytime they replay it, the first image is of a spiral galaxy in his eye. So at this early point I'm going with that. If that sounds crazy, HELLO! You're watching Lost and you buy that crap. =)
