Welcome to Flashing Forward, a site dedicated to the new ABC series FlashForward. The show is slated to debut this fall and air in the 8pm time slot on Thursday nights before Grey's Anatomy.
Back in December, Jace at Televisionary posted a first look at the pilot script of FlashForward. If you want to get an early start on the spoiler-free front, then be forewarned that his preview contains plot point spoilers.
In a nutshell...the series examines what happens when the world becomes unconscious for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, and what people see when they are able look six months into their future during that 2:17.
The show is based on Robert J. Sawyer's book of the same name, which I just ordered and look forward to reading. Get a jump start yourself; order a copy here.
The cast includes Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love), Sonya Walger (Lost), John Cho (Star Trek), Courtney B. Vance (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) and Bryan F. O'Byrne (Brotherhood).The executive producers of FlashForward only add to my interest in this show; David S. Goyer wrote the film Jumper and also co-wrote the story for both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, and Brannon Braga is a writer/producer on 24 (not to mention Star Trek: The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise).
I'm not looking for a replacement when Lost ends; I am highly skeptical that any television programming in the near future is capable of achieving that level of stellar production and creative quality week after week, season after season. However, I am intrigued enough by the premise of FlashForward that it merits a new site to follow the show's progress, previews, news, reviews, etc.
Are you in?
