FlashForward - Discussion/Speculation SPOILERS

[Shan Bruce Lee]

As a season cliff-hanger, last night's episode was awesome. But since there won't be a second season...

[Dr Lee]

Almost as bad as the Jericho S1 ending...

It was a good show...but it seemed too slow at the start

[aaobuttons]

Okay, I'll ask now that the season is over.

Has the flashforward day happened yet? I quit watching the show (had to give a few up because of time issues), but I'm curious if any of the flashforwards came true and if so, which ones.

[Dr Lee]

Spoiler:

The last 2 episodes were over the day the visions were on.

most of the visions went off as they were seen, though there were some tweaks....

[Ian-S]

and ABC are idiots for letting this end on a cliffhanger, at least make a mini series to wrap it up, or a Christmas Special or something.

First reply in the thread:

The man butchered Star Trek and desecrated its corpse. As interesting as Flash Forward's concept is, with BB at the helm, I hope it fails miserably.

Ha!

[leiasky]

It was a great season finale. Too bad it was also the series finale.

[robryan]

They would have had to have a fair idea their show would be cancelled when they made the last ep. The showrunner quit with 5 eps to make, should have at least warranted a different ending, maybe a 2 part ep where they found those responsible and prevented the second blackout.

[Captain Lazlo]

Maybe they're hoping someone else will take up the show and they can do another series.

An excellent end of season final, a very poor end of show final, shame ABC had to go an cancel the show, was looking forward to seeing what the people behind it were trying to achieve. I got a feeling they may of started out as the good guys certainly when gibbons was running the show an was trying prevent the end, what ever the end is. I think they became corrupted by the power or others took over. I certainly would love to see what Gibbons was really upto and got a feeling he would have played a major role during the rest of the series..
The office shoot out scene was awesome.
I like how simon sort of came through, I love how demetri never trusted him, even after Simon let him into the control centre. I was still expecting demetri to put a bullet in his brain an then phone someone to say it going to happen, an then put the ring on but may be that would of been one to many twists.

Through I find it difficult a 12 billion pounds machine would be so lightly guarded before never mind after being implicated in a world conspiracy to render entire world unconscious

They would have had to have a fair idea their show would be cancelled when they made the last ep. The showrunner quit with 5 eps to make, should have at least warranted a different ending, maybe a 2 part ep where they found those responsible and prevented the second blackout.

But that would ruin the creative vision for the show. Now I seen the end it sound like they had a greate vision where this was going go.
Mark the lone gunman,
A other lone gunman doing the round Afghanistan,
Kidnapping, which give demetri something to be abscessed about during the next season.
An a massive government conspiracy, I think they more interested in obtaining the technology for themselves than stopping the people doing the blackouts.

An that not including Halinger gang an there plots. An what ever MI6 are up to, they do not use there people to hunt down run of the mill murderers.

They spent the entire season really building the foundations for the show six years run, creating numerous characters which will be bought in play in the future , an may a few consequences for them changing the future aka Somalia an for them to cut an run it would of been a shame an personally would ruin it for me. The story did not deserve spoiled by them attempting the impossible an try an wrap it all up with in just two or three episodes. I doubt they could even do it in a mini series.

When this series first started I thought it was rubbish, in the end it paid an it paid big time. Shame audiences do not have patents to watch an wait for answers.

[Shan Bruce Lee]

I bet the fact that Demitri was holding that ring in his flash forward was the reason he didn't see it during the blackout.

[Rodney_Mckay]

I think every show should be assured two seasons if the story allows for it to stop these kinds of things happening But since we've got untill 2015 for the show to return... there's still hope... small and distant hope, mind.

I agree with majority here, it was an awesome season finale, but as a series finale it sucked. As someone else said, I got the Jericho feeling all over again. Great series (because I'm one of the few who enjoyed it immensely right from the very beginning and in its entirety) which ends on an incredible cliffhanger and I'm left wanting more and wondering what would happen in the next season(s). Everything was poked at and left wide open without any sort of closure. I hate ABC!

I know how dare ABC not want to lose money.

I really like the episode too. It was interesting to see what visions came true and how they came true.

Who cares about them losing money when it's my enjoyment at stake

My husband just mentioned that connection at dinner tonight!

So was anything answered? Who and why did the flashbacks?

Bad people, for lotsa money. Knowing the future helps a lot in this area. And it was only a test, and they were doing it again.
