Flash Forward TV Show Hopes for Bright Future

Posted on 24. Sep, 2009 by gertiebeth in FlashForward, Reviews

The “flash forward” is a TV-show concept made popular by Lost. Now flash forward has its own TV show, as the Flash Forward TV show is the first to try and succeed Lost. ABC has both Flash Forward and V as new TV shows that could take over Lost’s bizarre sci-fi throne when the island disappears for good in May 2010. But Flash Forward has to survive its first year first, as the highly anticipated TV show starts television’s newest puzzling mystery tonight.

The premise of the Flash Forward TV show is that the whole world experiences the title concept one day, flashing ahead six months into the future for over 2 minutes. In many cases, the glimpses are horrifying, and have already begun to come true. Therefore, the rush is on for an FBI agent and many others to stop this future from happening, if they can.

A year and a half after Lost was changed forever with the concept of a flash forward, Flash Forward seeks to be the TV show that follows and surpasses Lost’s footsteps. The shadow of Lost has already been well covered – especially since two well known Lost cast members are in this show.

Sonya Walger, a.k.a. Lost’s Penny Widmore, has a major role as the wife of the lead character, Joseph Fiennes’ FBI agent. Dominic Monaghan, who played the dearly departed Charlie – who might not be quite departed yet – will appear on Flash Forward in the weeks ahead. Recognizable names like John Cho, Courtney B. Vance, Jack Davenport, Gabrielle Union, Brian F. O’Byrne and many others are also on board.

The Flash Forward TV show stands to be the latest philosophical action/sci-fi show, which puts the future pieces together while stopping to ask if the future can, or should, be changed. Lost did this all last season, and fans are still scrambling to piece it together. For Flash Forward, since it is a new show, it may be hurt by being so confusing.
