i wish ppl would stop comparing this (and defying gravity) to lost. just because there is a damn
flash back or forward does not instantly mean it's a lost clone.

Happy to see it got picked up, guess that's the positive side of the cancellation frenzy.

I believe it is because in 1 press conference ABC called it a "successor to Lost"

What they ment was, it was going to be a huge blockbuster that would take Lost's place on the schedule
once the final series has ended but people assumed that because some of the cast were from Lost it
was going to be linked somehow and I agree it has been taken a bit too far now!

I read and liked the book Flashforward back when it came out ('99) and though the abc show is only
loosely based on it, I had hoped it would be a little more science based than it is (maybe it will become
more so).
It seems like a trend for tv shows with a big, singular premise to get mired in character related 'soap-
opera' rather than let the plot's narrative arc define the characters. (don't even get me started on
Defying Gravity)

This show is fucking epic.
Great show I enjoy watching it.

They only compare it to lost because its the same producer right? its JJ Abrams right?

its not all Lost, but at the end of the episode the cliffhanger thing that makes your heartrace as episode
is ending, taken directly from that episode style.

SPOILER ALERT - (highlight to read)

Like episode 2 when the little girl says that D. Gibbons is a bad man?
Oh snap!
End of episode



Anyway lets hope that they plot out some things so it feels like its getting somewhere

Well I believe Lost Is Lost.... It got too wild and many fans lost interest... I so like this new show much
better so far.

Well I never saw any reviews or anything. Just started watching it and am getting to like it.
Especially the fact that people are starting to use the flash forwards as a way to help (diagnosing
patient) instead of viewing them as a hindrance.
