I'll definitely be watching Flashforward next week. That was a damned fine pilot. They sold the premise well enough that the security footage at the end creeped me out the way a just-off-kilter-from-realistic nightmare will creep me out.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Oh yeah, totally.
Plus -- Captain Norrington! John Cho! Charlie and Penny from Lost!
Mmmmm, Captain Norrington.

Joseph Fiennes is plenty yummy as well. Yeah, the show has some nice eye candy, but it's also a fascinating plot. Although, I have a nasty feeling that it's the sort of story setup that could lend itself to becoming drawn out and convoluted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hmpf. My DVR decided not to record FF. I hope it's going to show up on Hulu.

Zenkitty, the pilot is on tomorrow night, too. t edit x-post!

The first thing I thought (which was already covered by the characters) was, if you've seen your future, you can change it. (Or CAN you?)

I think that's going to be one of the main themes of the show. I love that there's a mix of people who want the futures they saw, and others who desperately do not want it (and some who will at least know whether or not they're regular six months into the future).

Rebroadcast yay! Thanks!
I'm glad; I was really looking forward to it, and even more so now that everyone* likes it.
I would not want to know all about my future. However, I'd take a glimpse of six months from now. Would you want to see just a glimpse of your future? Especially if you didn't know if you could change it or not?
*where everyone = you all

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I like it, but I hope it goes more Lost than Heroes.

After viewing FlashForward, I am all about OMG JOHN CHO. For obvious reasons, this could prove problematic.
