Also, we find out that every main character's flashforward is pretty much misleading hogwash. Thanks for paying attention, audience! http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/future-shock-2.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/future-shock-2.php Wed, 02 Jun 2010 10:33:06 -0500 Countdown: Demetri comes clean to Zoey about his role in Janis's pregnancy, and her reaction leaves him plenty of free time in Los Angeles; Mark lets himself get played by the mastermind behind the flashforwards, and Olivia decides that Gabriel's insane rantings about the fate of the universe resting on her love life be darned -- she's choosing herself a la Kelly Taylor! http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/countdown-3.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/countdown-3.php Wed, 26 May 2010 16:26:07 -0500 The Negotiation: Demetri continues to hear from darn near everyone how he shouldn't even be alive, Wedeck sets a bloodless coup in motion, and Mark manages to rip off one of Janis's covers. Also, Simon hits the covers before telling the shadowy masterminds of the flashforward a thing or two. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-negotiation-2.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-negotiation-2.php Wed, 19 May 2010 14:28:04 -0500 Course Correction: The entire episode is a big old F.U. to the concept of free will, as it appears the universe is firmly in favor of predestination and crushing the puny hopes of all who would defy their foreordained paths. On the pro side: Llolivia! On the con side: Darn near everything else. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/course-correction-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/course-correction-1.php Wed, 12 May 2010 10:44:06 -0500 The Yellow Brick Road: We find out why and how Janis decided to work as a mole within the FBI office, in what is either a brilliant piece of writing or a desperate attempt to retcon prior plots points so peeved fans don't begin protesting the Janis-is-a-mole revelation of a few episodes prior. Also, Gabriel confirms what we all know: the universe is pro-Llolivia. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-yellow-brick-road-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-yellow-brick-road-1.php Wed, 05 May 2010 14:23:10 -0500 The Garden of Forking Paths: This episode paints a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of the series' resident twisted supergenius, convinces us that Zoey should leave the law, and resolves one of the series' biggest cliffhangers in a mostly-satisfactory fashion. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-garden-of-forking-paths-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-garden-of-forking-paths-1.php Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:45:26 -0500 Let No Man Put Asunder: Many, many people -- including Marcie the Mole, Wedeck, Olivia, Aaron and Lloyd -- use their flashforwards to justify dubious life decisions. Meanwhile, Demetri battles valiantly against his lack of a flashforward and almost wins. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/let-no-man-put-asunder-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/let-no-man-put-asunder-1.php Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:10:21 -0500 Queen Sacrifice: one of the moles in the office. While all this is going on, Keiko and Bryce fail to meet cute -- or even make the case that they should meet at all.]]> http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/queen-sacrifice-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/queen-sacrifice-1.php Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:13:46 -0500 Better Angels: An inauguration speech from the 1800s ends up saving a few 21st-century asses as the FBI regulars and Vogel attempt to unravel the mystery of what happened in Somalia back in the '90s. Lost in time? You're not the only one -- it appears D. Gibbons is, too. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/better-angels-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/better-angels-1.php Wed, 07 Apr 2010 12:16:45 -0500 Blowback: Zoey decides that the Mosaic investigation needs a fresh pair of eyes -- i.e. hers, much to Demetri's chagrin. Mark invites Lloyd into his bedroom, and Aaron goes vigilante after Tracy's paranoia proves to be well founded. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/blowback-2.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/blowback-2.php Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:43:29 -0500 Revelation Zero, Part Two: Simon spends most of the episode discerning the extent to which he’s been manipulated into helping the global flashforward come into being. Janis spends most of the episode losing Simon, because she has apparently become very bad at her job very quickly. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/revelation-zero-part-ii-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/revelation-zero-part-ii-1.php Wed, 24 Mar 2010 11:30:19 -0500 Revelation Zero, Part One: Janis's barmaid service leads to Simon joining Lloyd -- and losing a joint. Demetri learns all about the joys of intra-agency cooperation. And Mark gets a few more details about his flashforward, all of which made him even uneasier than he was before. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/revelation-zero-parts-i-iii.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/revelation-zero-parts-i-iii.php Wed, 24 Mar 2010 10:58:40 -0500 A5619184: and he loses his badge -- and Olivia begins to develop friendly feelings for Lloyd after he holds a press conference taking responsibility for the blackout.

Too bad her mom doesn't see it that way. And Aaron loses faith in the idea that having his daughter back would heal the hurt he's been carrying around. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/believe-2.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/believe-2.php Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:40:36 -0500 Playing Cards with Coyote: … and when to insert fresh new cards into his hand when he needs to beat Simon in a high-stakes card game. Meanwhile, the universe keeps sending signs that maybe, some things are predestined, but Mark and Olivia refuse to believe it. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/playing-cards-with-coyote-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/playing-cards-with-coyote-1.php Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:41:00 -0500 The Gift: One of the FBI team attends a Blue Hand get-together ("like a book club, with bullets") and, disgusted by the ridiculousness he sees there, takes his future into his own hands. In doing so, he may have just handed Mark and Demetri what they need to face the next six months. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-gift-5.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/the-gift-5.php Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:52:40 -0500 Scary Monsters and Super Creeps : The crack team of FBI investigators once again follow a lead from the once and future drunk's flash forward. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/scary-monsters-and-super-creep-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/scary-monsters-and-super-creep-1.php Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:24:16 -0500 Gimme Some Truth: Neither one really gets clean.

However, we find out who thinks they're responsible in the final scene of the episode. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/black-swan-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/black-swan-1.php Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:06:14 -0500 137 Sekunden: … Don't talk to the Nazi party. Sadly for Mark, the FBI, Teuton/American relations and, say, all sense of morality and decency, this simple adage is thrown out the window in thrall to Mark's flashforward. But at least he finds out that someone's been screwing with the people of Somalia. http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/137-sekunden-1.php http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/flash-forward/137-sekunden-1.php Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:00:20 -0500
