Last night i caught Flash Forward ep 3 on tv ... and cos i missed the first 2 episodes, i went to look for them online.

Having followed Lost and Prison Break very closely, FF contains certain similar elements. For example the time traveling aka the visions ... just like those of Lost ... with the air of mystery over what actually happened. Suspect 0 acts like Jacob in Lost ... one of those unknowns. And that wow factor at the end of episodes is felt in all the episodes just like Lost. It is familiar to Prison Break because of the wall/board with all the information that Benford looks like. Very similar to Scofield's opening act in PB, and also towards the end when they were organising all the information they had.

The starting of FF's episode 2 reminded me of Heroes's constant use of the Earth globe picture.

Well ... only 4 episodes online now. Still got to see how it pans out ... and i've got some questions like surely if EVERYONE blacked out, a lot of the elderly would have died from the falls ... even profession like being a cook would have got you burnt to death if you fell straight onto whatever's cooking ... the amount of deaths and destruction that day would be gigantic, except that i don't feel that from the show.
