FlashForward: The Negotiation

This episode inhabits the unfair position of being the first I have viewed since learning that FlashForward is officially canceled. While there were some strong moments I must say that I still do not love this show. Janice was outed as C.I.A. to Mark and she resigned her position at the F.B.I.? I know there has to be more to it but I was eating chips and the crunching sound in my head was louder than the volume on the T.V. and I did not care to jump back and watch the scene over again.

According to Gabriel, Demetri is bound to die one way or another. I wonder if Zoe is going to literally kill him when she finds out he is the father of Janice's baby. That would make for interesting television.

I still do not buy Aaron as Rambo. Do the creators of this show really expect us to believe he is capable of sniping two private military contractors quicker than a 12 year old could snipe the flood in a co-op game of Halo? Because I do not, especially considering he had the presence of mind to injure one of them rather than kill him.

Olivia and Mark are done and he does not care because the stakes are too high. He is the most unlikable "hero" in the history of network television. Lloyd, save his inability to divulge critical information until the required point in the story, is a much more pleasant person. I hope he finds himself in bed with Olivia at the moment of the FlashForward.

Wedeck just Watergated the president of the United States right? Which means Stan removed the man whose trust he had implicitly and replaced him with a woman who literally hates his guts. Maybe I am a bit jaded, but would the most powerful man in the world really resign over a pictures of an off the books private military contractor site?

Simon met with "senior management" unfortunately there is no way that guy was actually important. If he was truly a player he would not have scrambled to delete files, he would have instead have someone less important do that and he would have gotten out of dodge. Which leads me to speculate there were at least two dozen more important people than him in that building alone.

Will Simon and Janice save the world? Do I care at this point? I guess. What was negotiated in this episode anyway?
