Anybody watch the premiere last night? Apparently well received by the critics. I thought it was decent, earned at least a view next week to see how it starts to take shape. I heard it being compared to "Lost", but I never watched that show so I can't say if it was similar.

Eff this show. Saying Kobe is going to tear up his knee. This is just like Lost, they're never going to tell you anything, they'll keep stringing it along as long as the morons are still watching.
I really hope the Lakers don't play on April 29.

You are aware Lost's last season is next year?

I have been rewatching Lost from the beginning since they are all on hulu, they have answered actually quite a bit.

Steve,
It doesn't matter who you start because you have a horse shoe up your ass so far I'm not really sure how you get through the day. You must be gay.

I have at least a passing interest in the show. Seems like there could be some potential. I do have a similar concern to Poppy's which was exacerbated when, in the preview for next week, the announcer says "Next week, more answers...." In my experience, when a show teases "answers" it means they're going to give an answer to a rather insignificant question and/or the "answer" is going to raise more questions than it resolves.
Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

Which is a good thing because that means we will be interested and want to keep watching rather than having conclusions in episode 2 of a show that hopefully takes a few seasons to tell, like lost.
This show is going to be VERY good.

Lost is going on what, season 6... and there is still unexplained shit from season 1 & 2, it's why I quit watching. Lost is way overrated.

I am all the way through season 2 and I can't honestly think of anything that I saw that doesn't NOW make sense to me to be quite honest. I thought I had many more questions but now going through it, I am amazed at how much has been answered and seeing all the set ups for the later seasons.

One thing I didn't like was in the last 15 minutes or so, it started to feel forced, like they were trying to squeeze too much in to the last moments of the show. Really did the daughter NEED to have the friendship bracelet made instantly? Did we need to find out the identity of the wife's mystery man??
Other than that I thought it was really good.

This show is based on a book by Robert Sawyer, called, you guessed it, Flash Forward. Great book. Not sure if the show will go the same direction as the book or not, but at least there is a place for some answers already.
Similar author style to Michael Chrichton

Seth Macfarlane being in it sort of fucked with me.
It really took a tall one to see it, two to believe it, three to just get in the way.

And yet, I don't know anybody who currently watches LOST that is annoyed by a lack of an explanation. To be honest, I don't even think the smoke monster needs that much more explaining.
On-topic: This show looks pretty interesting, but I forgot to set my DVR so I missed it. I'm sure it's online somewhere.

They have had 3 seasons to get to it and haven't, so I'm willing to bet it's completely slipped the writers minds. If they do explain feel free to let me know because I'm not going to bother watching it.

They're replaying it tonight at 8pm. I might catch it at 11 on the west channels.

Please leave Lost out of this thread. Go babble in the Lost thread. I think the only correlation the teasers made with Lost was "From the NETWORK that brought you lost"
I loved this show last night. Thought it was great. Which basically means it will be canceled in 5 episodes with my history concerning new shows.
My jaw dropped when they showed the one dude at the ballgame who was awake during the blackout. Awesome little teaser.
