This episode was weak. Nazi’s, crows, Kabala, and lies of the unnecessary kind permeated this episode. The worst part was that I was completely bored. Additionally they keep teasing the fact that Dominic Monaghan is going to show up at any minute in increase the quality of the show by a factor of 10, but it’s yet to happen.
Anytime a show feels the need to tie Nazi’s into the mythology within the first few episodes it is either try too hard to be a great show or not trying hard enough. I can’t help but feel like FlashForward is not trying hard enough to be creative in this instance. Additionally, the fact that the Nazi brings up Kabala as a possible explanation of the FlashForward seemed super tacky (I was waiting for Madonna’s Ray of Light to start playing in the background). Completely beyond reality is the fact that the US and German governments could not figure out a way to the Nazi in jail when his information proved to be useless.
Why is Demetri lying to his fiancée? He needed to question her to see if he really was in her flash or if it was just inference making on her part. Aren’t FBI agents supposed to be good at getting facts?
The crow thing… actually I liked the crow thing but I would have liked it more if they threw the Nazi back in jail after he gave them the crow thing.
Mark is an a-hole. He obviously does not care about anything but making sure his flash comes to fruition. Even if making the flash come true is going to cost him his life and his wife.
The stuff with Aaron and his ex was fairly compelling. I wonder if their daughter’s leg was approximately 30 lbs. If that’s the case she could still be alive minus one leg and found in that tent on April 29th as shown. I might be wrong but is Aarons daughter played by the actress that was Alex (The French Woman’s daughter) on Lost?
It’s nice to see Gina Torres get work.
No new information on D. Gibbons or Suspect Zero this week.
There’s something seriously wrong when the most interesting thing about the FlashForward episode tonight were the commercials for “V”… That might not be fair, I am pegging “V” to be my next big Scifi (not Syfy) series.
