Flashforward: Black Swan

Something about this episode stuck a cord with me. I really enjoyed it. I'm starting to invest in these characters and feel as those their decisions make some sense.

Nicole had an interesting flash and her interaction with the priest was illuminating to say the least. I loved the church had such an influx of volunteers they simply couldn't place anyone else. It's completely surreal to see a man of the cloth blow off a young person who was interested in taking an active role in his flock.

I'm relieved that Demetri unleashed the full force of his knowledge (and right hook) about his impending doom to Mark. Selfish bastard that Mark is turned it around on Demetri and talked him into believing Mosaic would be his salvation. Seems more like Mosaic will lead Demetri to his doom, but at least he's honest about it now.

The blond terrorist was fascinating this week. Maybe she's the Benjamin Linus of the group seeing as she was able to play Demetri's emotions against him. Additionally, she did send our dynamic duo on a fetch quest that ended up with them scoring some righteous weed.

I wanted wannabe "Shaft" to end up dead on the operating table. I know that's a bit dark, but I think the series would be more interesting if someone was to break the rules the flashes established thus far.

Simon finally made his much anticipated appearance and he's claiming responsibility for the blackout! Maybe Simon is D' Gibbons. While it seems that Dylan's dad isn't D' Gibbons at least I was on point with calling him out as a potential source of malice in this series. On the other hand, he did perform magic to make his sick kid happy, so he can't be all bad.

Remember when D' Gibbons was a valuable clue worthy of follow up? Have Mark and Olivia still not asked Charlie about her creepy little flash? What's wrong with Mark?

Maybe I just liked this series more tonight because they didn't do what I completely expected them to do by going to Somalia. Of course they've been able to do whatever lame brain idea has come to their minds up to this point in the series so it is a bit odd that Wedeck would choose to deny this request.

Still holding out hope for "V" to pick up the mantle of coolest Scifi show on the air once November roles around!
