That would have been his first attempt to change the future and it would have had a much more positive effect (would have changed the Nazi's future as well).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978715818371029793.post-73882293317698510992009-11-07T06:36:36.545-08:002009-11-07T06:36:36.545-08:00Can you explain the title card at the beginning of...Can you explain the title card at the beginning of each episode that states "On October 6, the planet blacked out for two minutes and seventeen seconds the whole saw the Future"> Why are they using that date though the show actually premiered on September 24? Even LOST, when it refers back to the plane crash on the Island, uses its correct premiere date as its reference point. Are they using a different calendar than the rest of us? Will that explain the FlashFoward? ;)Zedman2https://www.blogger.com/profile/18372598236643099653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978715818371029793.post-24561088172247093862009-11-06T19:34:12.044-08:002009-11-06T19:34:12.044-08:00Watching the episode, I was reminded of Minority R...Watching the episode, I was reminded of Minority Report (the book, not the movie)--that the only way you can possibly change the future is to be the one with knowledge of what's to come.<br /><br />I'm going to be very pissed off if they pull the butterfly effect card to claim that everybody's Flash Forwards are now useless because of one silly suicide.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159264780265072978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978715818371029793.post-70836625291736284962009-11-06T19:12:19.039-08:002009-11-06T19:12:19.039-08:00Maybe it says something about my diminished expect...Maybe it says something about my diminished expectations for the show, but I think in episode in which...<br /><br />1) There's a legitimately emotional moment, which I think the suicide was, no matter how maddening it may be that it happened that way and<br />2) That someone actually tried to defy their flash forward, no matter how maddening it may be that it happened that way<br /><br />is a step in the right direction.
