FlashForward: Course Correction

In an unbelievable turn of events Mark was presented with a terrible scenario and he did not freak out or otherwise cause mayhem and carnage. To clarify, when Mark found out that his wife may have an affair in the future with a man she has never met he instantaneously began the process of pushing her away from him. Yet, when she was sharing a bottle of wine with a man she admitted to having feelings for in his house at night and he happened to walk in on the two of them, he is totally OK except for a little stink face expression.

In the "totally convenient" department the FBI decided to crosscheck Simon's biometrics with Suspect 0's as Simon ran away. Additionally it would seem that Lloyd has absolutely no common sense. He did not think it was important to mention to the FBI that Simon uncharacteristically insisted that Lloyd run the "wanna be LHC" exactly at 11 AM when he could not be there to witness it and he learned that his father had died moments earlier.

Also frustrating was the fact that the FBI did not think it was important to keep an eye on the creator of the "Blue Hand". Did no one realize that someone with that kind of influence over people might also foster a nihilistic messianic complex (I'm pretty sure it's a thing). What was worse was watching Dem and the British agent completely botch the interview with him. Actually, the most terrible part of this episode was Dem screaming to the scared woman "run" and then radioing to the Brit "drive uncontrollably fast".

Why would Nicole not tell Bryce that his Japanese friend was in deportation detention? She recently stop his advances because she thought his head was not in her game and all she had to do with that file folder was hand it to him. If she had I am fairly certain Bryce would have met Kimeko, said hello and then gone back to Nicole. Now they are going to go on an awkward date, realize they are not meant to be together, and Nicole is going to be drowned in less than a week.

Gabriel continues to be a bright spot in this series. His bit with the hamburger was fantastically funny. I hope that Gabriel and Vreede are the team that end up saving the world. I do find it odd that Olivia felt the need to keep Gabriel in the hospital rather than send him into the FBI for questioning. Maybe Vreede cannot handle the responsibility of babysitting Gabe.

We did not get any mention of Janice or Vogel this episode. Last week it made sense to write out Demetri considering he survived his death date the week before, but there is no excuse for keeping Janice and Vogel out of the action this time around. Ironically, "Course Correction" was a sloppy return to form for a show that had been turning towards a better direction.
