Flash Forward - Catching up

Even though I pretty much only do this for my own enjoyment, I have been slacking for the one or two people that actually read this and to those rare exceptional individuals I apologize for falling behind with all of the travel the last couple of weeks. So without further ado it's time for some pointless observations on Flash Forward.

This weeks post is supposed to make up for three weeks worth of missing the show so I'm going to miss a bit, it's probably all going to sound and read a lot like Mark's FF in that it was very random because he was drunk at the time. That's a pretty nice revelation not so much that it says that he is going to be drinking (we already knew that) but in that everyone elses FF's are clear as day, so there shouldn't be any confusion in what was going on with anyone at the time of their FF. Which brings up one very very annoying point, why do the FF's come off as so random to us at home. I mean I guess it's standard now in TV that all memories have that random sketchiness to them, but in this case why, they are supposed to be clear as day.

But I have to say that I really like the drama that is building with this character, and for all the characters with bad futures, it's like their lives are starting to lose control as the date gets closer and closer, I'm sure towards the end of the season we'll be treated to absolute chaos, which I am always a fan of. But to my point, the drama in the show is actually pretty good, there is tension and it's being played very well by Mark and Penny (Olivia) Sorry but all people that were on Lost keep their Lost names until I say otherwise in my blog. The good doctor that decided to save Janice's baby making ability is forever known as PPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYY - Desmond

Speaking of Janice, let's talk about changing the future. Penny is sitting there in the operation room and as a good doctor should be removing her baby making parts in order to save her life as the other doctor suggested, instead she does the "risky" maneuver and saves her womb. Ok you're terrified of the future this might be a good opportunity to change the future, no womb, no sonogram, no sonogram and all of a future that Janice had, doesn't take place. Sure it's a little cold, ok very cold, but it would prove that the future is not set in stone. But I think the show doesn't want us to see that quite just yet, if so then the drama might change as people know that they aren't on a collision course with April 29th. I think before too long we're going to see that the future can be changed as Charlie (Simon) alluded to (more on that in a moment). And then when that happens everyone is going to be trying to make sure what happened either happened or doesn't happen, but the trick will be what actions help the future and which actions hurt it, ah more chaos! Mark my word (not by drinking) that everything is going to get all fucked up before we get to the end of the season and it's going to be a blast.

So why do I think the future can be changed, it's as simple as Simon says. Oh snap, nice play on words there Adam =) As Charlie told the soon to be dead hooker (ok I don't know if she was a hooker or not, but he sure as heck killed her, and wouldn't we all prefer if she were a hooker rather than someone that had a life outside of that train.... I thought so. I mean who knows maybe she was the next Vivian (Pretty Women, Julia Roberts, hello!) but I'll assume not, but I digress. Charlie (Simon) tells her some pretty heavy quantum physics and thankfully since I watch a lot of the science channel I understood what the heck he was saying. For those of you that don't like monotone shows that remind you of school (Hi Jen) let me break it down. Simply put there are an infinite number of universes and every possible outcome that can happen in the universe does happen in another universe. So for example in another universe I'm king of the world (yes that king riding on the front of the Titanic), so basically anything can and does happen in some way in some universe. Here is another little tidbit that he brought up that relates to that, on a subatomic level particles can exist in two places at the same time, WTF you say, hey I don't really get it either but thankfully there are people on the science channel doing that work for me. If you combine the two theories then it basically means that everyone on the show is existing in a universe and the outcome in that universe is set, but they also exist in another universe with a different outcome, so it is possible to change the future. As Charlie said the cat in her hand can live or die, and in fact both outcomes happen, the question is what outcome is everyone going to choose?

And there my friends is the crux of everything on the show, the experiment that Charlie and British dad that gets to keep his British accent. Anyone else catch on that there are three British actors on the show but one of them has to use an American accent? Just interesting, I guess it's better than being Chinese on the show, those evil Chinese people. Of you could be Somali (however you spell it) you're the hapless victim of some global conspiracy, what was I saying...

Oh yeah the show is about trying to move between universes, why I have no idea, thank you very much terrorist blond head lady, but that's what it is, the two guys that had a part of it were scientists and one of them is a bad guy (Charlie AKA Simon) and the other guy is pretty neutral at this point, maybe he was trying to find a version of his son that wasn't Autistic (which by the way Autism is a serious deal please give to those in need) who knows, but it's sounds good to me.

Ok that's enough for today, I missed like a million things but it was three weeks, this week I'll do better.

Oh and watch V, Juliet is in it. I'm going to write that up too, because it's a show about lizard aliens that land on Earth to take it over, how can I not watch that.
