Review Flashforward Episode

Let No Man Put Asunder

Last week’s episode had me confused about Flashforward. I haven’t read the book. I’m watching this show dry of history and knowledge. The threads on the show are so loose, I almost feel disconnected except for the premise of what the future supposedly holds for these people.

This week, the disconnect became weaker with Dyson Frost coming out of the woodwork to take place front and behind, meaning we can see him and he’s not a figure of anyone’s imagination. Seeing Frost adds the missing element I felt missing in the show. We can see the bad guy. We can smell the bad guy. The bad guy has Demitri.

This week I feel a little better about Flashforward.

Janice, is she really on the other side? Truly the second mole. Or is she playing a game. Is she pregnant? And wow, that was like really fast. Or is she lying. The change in Janice last week substantiated the confusion because I couldn’t or more like refused to believe that she, who is strong, straight, and reliable, is a traitor. Traitor to what is the question. I need help here.

And if she’s really on the other side, I haven’t been convinced yet, and if she’s really pregnant by Demitri, who works on the opposite of the scheme. Something is wrong with this picture.

Marcy jumps to the other side so she can feel important. I guess that’s the humanity part coming from her. I thought joining the organization like the FBI meant something bigger than oneself. What so odd, though. How can one align themselves with a cause and do not know the cause they’re working for. Marcy doesn’t know the players or have a clue of who’s running the show.

You know. Just writing this makes me realize Flashforward is driving me crazy. (Metaphorically, speaking.)
