Default Who watched Flash Forward last night?

I thought it was REALLY good! Great premise!

If you didn't see it, they are replaying the premiere episode tonight at 8 on ABC, I think.

I saw part of it and it hooked my interest. It kinda feels like Lost did when it first started with the unexplained weird stuff. Glad you mentioned the rebroadcast do I can DVR it and see the whole episode.

I watched it online since I'm out on Thursday nights.

Great show btw, loved the LOST connection (Oceanic billboard). Will rewatch before the next episode.

If you haven't watched "Fringe" that's another great one. It's on Fox and you can also watch online to get caught up on the new season, or on HULU.

I watched it on the Friday replay. It was pretty good but I was a little annoyed when before the breaks they would tell me what the hints were that I should go research or not forget (come on - it was a kangaroo in downtown L.A.). If you are used to Fringe or Lost where you have to notice things for yourself and then go look for like-minded people on the 'net to figure it out - it came off to me as a little condescending.

I downloaded a copy and watched it last night. It's an interesting premise, but with a time frame of six months I wonder how they can sustain it. I will be interested to see how it plays out though.

I was reading somewhere that they did have ideas that took them out beyond the six month frame of the initial premise.

Well that makes sense, since otherwise, a season in the show would be over. Although Lost doesn't run a year per season either.

Shoot, I'm one of those....hang out on Fringe Forums, and already found the FlashForward forums, just to answer a few questions.

Since I watched it online, I didn't get the tips to check out the hints or whatever it is. But I did catch a few on my own. You're right, you definitely learn that from the other shows.

Easter Eggs anyone???

I watched the hints from the producers online so I do know a few.

?
The first one I remember was on the station break after you see the kangaroo, the voice over said "did you notice the kangaroo - it could be important" -- well duh!

I'm a big fan of Lost, and I saw Flash Forward... but I'm NOT the kind of person who wants to look online to learn more about the tv show, get hints, etc... I don't like my tv shows to make more work for me - give me the info I need during the show.

Btsyi, I'm like you. If I wanted to think hard doing something I would stay at work. I actually fell asleep during the first episode. I didn't watch Lost and am not a big fan of Fringe so I doubt this one will make my rotation. My wife on the other hand loved the show.

We DVR'ed it and finally got a chance to watch over the weekend. Interesting, but I don't see how it can be sustained. If it gets to be a PITA to keep up with, then I'll move on. I like what I saw so far.
