Her question about atonement for an act not committed was a pretty serious question and he blew her off totally! Oh and I swear the cricket box (why crickets?) said black swan on it. I thought that's where the title came from.

She throws out an Indian lead and suddenly Demetri has a free pass to get whatever he needs in India. And Demetri was evil BEFORE the flash forward. The narrative has hinted to this in several ways including his abandoning his partner in the car after the flash. And Demetri doctored neighbor-wife's DNA, and the wife has been gone for a long while prior to flash. So Demetri has been shady for a long while. I'm going to give the writers the benefit of the doubt and suggest that we're supposed to suspect Demetri, and we'll slowly be given more and more support for this, only to be shocked that it's his fiance who's been the bad guy the entire time.

Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Someone may have already suggested this, and kudos if you did (and we're both right): I've been thinking Demetri's girlfriend was dreaming the beach wedding scene she anticipates happening in the future. At the moment everyone FlashForwarded to, they could have been alive, dead, awake, dreaming, on the shitter, you name it, because it hasn't happened yet. And given that the FFs were dreamlike experiences to begin with, I'm not sure anyone could have determined the difference between experiencing a future dream and experiencing a future reality.

Charlie was asleep too but we know she didn't have a dream.

Not a spoiler since I don't know if it's true but did the guy drowning the babysitter look like the suicidal doc to anyone else? Also, his drawing looked like her. If this turns out to be the case, creepy how happy he is about his FF and the dude drowning her had a huge grin on his face. Also, loved the creepy music/FF scene at the beginning. Posted this a few pages back. I paused on the face of the dude drowning her and it really looked like the doctor. And he was drawing that pic of a girl that looks like her. Just a thought.

Charlie was asleep too but we know she didn't have a dream. Sorry for the confusion. I'm not concerned with what Zoey was doing on the day of the blackout. Rather, I'm theorizing that what Zoey Flash Forwarded to was a dream she was having on April 29, 2010. The Flash Forwards were glimpses of a specific time in the future, specifically, 10 pm Pacific Time, April 29, 2010. (For example, melanin dude seeing himself in a nightclub.) It makes little sense for her to have Flash Forwarded to a daylight wedding on a shoreline. In Hawaii, it would have been dusk already. According to http://www.sunrisesunset....ustom_srss_calendar.asp, sunset would have been 6:56 pm, or a few minutes before the future-time the Flash Forward revealed. In California, it would have been even later. So she wasn't seeing it live. She was seeing it some other way ... in her head? in a dream? I'm thinking she saw it in a dream she was having, at home, having gone to bed early. Just a theory.

Also I would love someone to recap with the priest and blow up the shoe box. I hope I'm wrong because of the whole explantion with the blonde chick.

There are moments when it can get boring(not gonna lie) but then moments like when the crows passed out? Shit like that was interesting. I love John Cho, It's so fucking hilarious seeing Harold in such a serious role. His character has to be my favorite because he's scared he'll die and I'm scared with him. Nice cliffhanger with the guy that the wife has an affair with, Nice Cliffhanger of him being involved with the Flash forwards. Is Gabrielle Union on contract? I like her!, she better be on contract! Joseph Fiennes is doing a fantastic job to.

I tried watching the first episode again today on ABC.com but kept getting an error. I wanted to confirm that they all said it was the same TIME on the same DAY, also how far along Janis was in her FF. The reason I wondered about everyone flashing to the same time is because Zoey's "dream" appeared to be the middle of the day. It would have been 7:00 PM in Hawaii. I'm not gonna nitpick about the location of the sun but it didn't seem that late. Could have been. Good catch. Sunset on 4/28/10 is at 6:56. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=103&month=4&year=2010&obj=sun&afl=-11&day=1. So it should at least be kind of dusky and sunsety I just re-watched that scene, and to be fair, she said "We were on a beach. [Hamoa] beach in Hawaii I think." So apparently she was exactly sure it was Hawaii. They could use that as an out. SLDog, this was from a few pages back. Your theory's not too crazy..

So the writers/producers are NOT sticklers for the timing of when their characters get their flash-forwards, or, in the very least, the daylight/darkness at that time.

Posts: 8509 (10/18/09 12:50 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	But I thought the point was made in the first episode that not only did they all flash to the same date, but also to the same time - 10:00 pm pacific. Time zone wouldn't need to be "sussed out" if we were given a specific time somewhere.. and we were. It should have been dark in CupcakeDG's flash. Zoey's is still questionable because we're not sure where she was. Hell, she's not sure where she was. I haven't nitpicked too much about this show, but if a time is laid out for us and they think we won't notice it's effin' daytime when it should be night, then that's annoying.
