Well it has taken seventeen episodes but I thoroughly enjoyed this hour of FlashForward. Vogel is a despicable human being and Janice is working for him. Mark and Olivia were never meant to be together because she was supposed to go to Harvard and meet Lloyd. Aaron does not blend in Afghanistan as well as he thinks he does. Vreede had a wonderful character moment where he double clicked a flashlight in Olivia's face just because it was funny to him. In an unbelievable demonstration of restraint, for FlashForward, they even kept Demetri out of this episode because his character obviously took a much deserved rest after surviving his expiration date.
Gabriel is a key piece of the puzzle, I hope Vreede is a cunning enough FBI agent to coax him into coming to the bureau. I also hope that Gabriel can gain some semblance of sanity back and become an analyst or something. I would not want to infer that James Callis singlehandedly turned FlashForward around, but I will not argue against it either.
Olivia was supposed to go to Harvard. Which means she was never supposed to end up with Mark or give birth to Charlie. I know that at some point Olivia explained on screen why she chose to go to the University of California Sunnydale (I do not remember which California school she went to, so I for now we will just say she went to the school Buffy and Willow did) but the reason is slipping my mind. If she went to Harvard would she have switched majors to physics? If Olivia was a physicist would she have been able to prevent the blackout or would she have been the cause of it along with Lloyd and Simon?
I will give the show credit for pissing me off so severely when it was revealed that Janice was a double agent only to make me extremely happy when they reveal that Janice was in fact a triple agent. Though I find it odd that she has been collecting tons of information of the shadowy organization that engineered the FlashForward for two years and seemingly has not done anything to impede the progress of their nefarious goals. What in the world is Vogel waiting for, what could be worse than killing 20 million people in a single day? Unless Vogel truly believes, like Dyson Frost did, that the world will end in 2016.
I cannot believe I am writing this but please ABC do not cancel FlashForward! It has only now hit its creative stride and I would love to see this series play itself out for at least another season.
