Yeah, Mark told him, in a loud voice, in a crowded bar, didn't he?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

Back to FlashForward: Mark really was being a dick to his boss and to Aaron, wasn't he? Plus, he's ignoring an obvious (to me) possiblity: Someone IN HIS FLASH could have seen him drinking.
Didn't think of that. I thought Mark was within reason in at least suspecting the only two people he actually told, but he could have been less accusatory about it.
Yeah, Mark told him, in a loud voice, in a crowded bar, didn't he?
Hm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But who was he near that would have his wife's cel number?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Well, one of the two people he told could have told someone else who texted his wife.
I can't get too excited because his wife should have known a long time ago and Mark should have been the one to tell her.

Then that one shouldn't have gotten testy at the idea of him thinking they'd sent the text themselves. Either way is a betrayal.
But yeah. He should have nutted up earlier.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Ep 1 of Dreamland, the animated Doctor Who thing, is available now at the BBC iPlayer [link] . (That link might be only available in the UK, but I'm sure it's ahemable if anyone's interested.)

There's a nice FF article in the latest EW that has some mild spoilers and a comment relevant to our discussion about the veracity of what's shown in the flash-forwards. I'll whitefont it to be safe: "We're never going to show something that didn't happen. That said, sometimes characters will radically misinterpret what they say, and sometimes we are restricting what you're seeing."
Also, they will explain the kangaroo.

That's about what I thought.
The whitefonted bit. Not necessarily the kangaroo.

P-C,
that's helpful to know, thanks for that. I still want to know what happens if people were asleep.

Ha, "Hammer into Anvil" was pretty great. I love when Number Six fucks with Number Two instead of the other way around.
