FlashForward: Scary Monsters and Super Creeps


Why was the Nicole working as a candy giver at the Mark and Olivia's on Halloween?  Doesn't she have something better to do? Is she a live in baby sitter?  They've established that she has a home to go to so I don't quite understand why she was all Raggedy Anne'd and answering doorbells at the Benford's. 

Olivia got Mark to admit that he was drinking in his flash the first time she asked him point blank about if he was hiding something from her and her response was "I don't trust you".  I found that odd.  

Janis getting shot and told she is most likely never going to be able to be with child is the catalyst to her pregnancy.  Was Stan looking at her funny at the end?  The wife thinks he's going to be the father (I think that's crazy but wanted to mention it in case it turned out to be true).

Did Dylan's repeating of the address remind anyone else of Dory from "Finding Nemo"?  Charlie and Dylan were at the Benford house when the flash happened.  That means that D Gibbons is there too.  Is Simon D Gibbons?  He certainly seems insane enough.  His idea of pillow talk is completely repulsive.  

The FBI crew was almost liquidated because of their investigation into the blackout and Mark thought it was a good idea to go trick or treating with his daughter the next night?  Had a feeling Mark's masked men where pedestrian paperers of the high school variety.  Too bad Mark didn't have that same intuition.  

Demetri's persistent pursuit of the blue hand makes me believe he is slowly coming to the realization that he will die as foretold.  Speaking of Mark's board, did we completely forget about Somalia again?  

Agent Gough got a considerable amount of screen time this week.  I must commend this show for doing a decent job of bringing the background characters in the FBI field office into the spotlight.  Last week was Vreede and this week we got Gough, too bad Gough didn't get to sing like Vreede.

Lloyd's moment in the Benford house was interesting.  More intriguing however was his encounter with Simon.  Their "experiment" seems to be a bit more involved than your average chemistry project.  Was that the first time we got a number of the total dead from the blackout? 20 million seems a bit small considering how many people must have been driving/surfing.  

This show is definitely leaning in the direction of Greek Tragedy.  Knowing your future can only cause it to happen.  Everything you do to avert it only leads to your eventual doom.
