FlashForward: Gimme Some Truth

That was by far the best episode of the series.  Character development galore made this episode not only watchable but enjoyable to boot!  Mark on the witness stand in the Senate hearing was the highlight of the episode. The new veep was asking the questions that Wedeck should have been demanding of Mark from the start and in a nod to annoyed viewers Wedeck admitted that he should have grilled Mark more as well.

The agent karaoke in the bar was simply terrific, though I am concerned that they spent so much time getting wasted in a bar with an alcoholic.  On a side note, Vreede and Demetri have terrific chemistry on stage and off.  Their conversation in the hallway about the point of the Senate hearing was terrific.  Speaking of the Senate hearings, they were sadly hilarious as well. Of course the CIA thinks China did it.

The Nazi opportunist was correct in assuming that Janis was gay and the director made a point to zoom in on Janis' thumb ring a few times as if to say, "we know what we're doing".  This obviously makes the Janis being pregnant storyline a bit more interesting and I think her date/morning was some of the best character progression we've been given in the series thus far.  I don't think she'll die in that alley but it should directly relate to how she get pregnant.

I did enjoy the relationship between Wedeck and the President.  I had a feeling when they were playing basketball that the guy was more than an FBI buddy.  I loved how Wedeck put the screws to his presidential buddy to extort the funding for Mosaic.  More illuminating was how much it cost to get Wedeck his funding.  The President promoting his arch nemesis in the Senate to Vice President might out weight the good of the project.  Especially considering the President was about to promote Wedeck to be head of DHS.

Olivia knows that Mark was drinking in his FlashForward.  Only two people should have known that, his sponsor and Wedeck.  My money is on Wedeck sending that text message in the hope that Olivia can keep Mark on the righteous path through April if she is armed with this information.  How pissed is she going to be considering how honest she was about her flash?

My only real gripe of this episode was the start and ending.  The fact that Mark, Demetri, Wedeck, and Vreede all got out of an exploding car without a scratch on them seemed cartoonish in a series that prides itself on being realistic (other than the blackout/see the future element).
