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.

I found out about this show early on (mums about that), so I read the book a few months ago. Really brilliant concept, though the show won't be EXACTLY like the book. If I remember what I've read about the project so far, they are using the same "incident" with different characters - which is totally fine since the "incident" affected the entire world.
SciFiWire had a few stories about the show about a month ago about Robert J. Sawyer visiting the set of the pilot. I guess he is totally jazzed with what Goyer and Co. are doing with the story. I am absolutely looking forward *snerk* to this one ;)
I'm in! ;) I think Jack Davenport is in this show too? I love him!
Dude. This is so very Lost-like, I can't even stand it! Can you change fate? COME ON! Mysteries with time? PLEASE! Based on a book by a guy named Sawyer?! HA! And then there's the name...(but the show could have easily been influenced by the book, of course.)
And yes, I'm totally going to give this show a shot. LOL ;-)
definitely in!
I'm in. Very intriguing....destiny vs fate!
