Synopsis:
EVERYONE ON EARTH BLACKS OUT FOR TWO MINUTES AND SEVENTEEN SECONDS AND SEES A GLIMPSE OF THEIR FUTURE, BUT THEY MUST DECIDE IF THEY WILL ACCEPT THEIR DESTINY OR DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO CHANGE IT, ON THE PREMIERE OF ABC’S “FLASHFORWARD”.
What would you do if you were given a glimpse of the future? Would you accept what you saw and live life to its fullest, or would you do everything in your power to change your destiny? When the world’s population is given a glimpse of their future, it forces everyone to come to grips with whether their destinies can be fulfilled or avoided, on the premiere of “FlashForward,”.
So here it is, after months of following the hype and the mayhem surrounding ABC’s FlashForward, we are finally here – 1.01 “No More Good Days”.

I have to say, I’m excited mainly for 3 reasons:
1. It’s on ABC – they know a thing or two about SF/Drama/Genre television and they sure as heck know how to promote their series’.
2. The cast – Joseph Fiennes, Courtney Vance, Sonya Walger, John Cho, Gabrielle Union, Dominic Monaghan, et al – that’s not bad! What’s even more exciting is the possibility for more stories to be told through new characters and actors who will reveal themselves later on down the line.
3. As I’ve said previously on FFB, the premise is a very good one. We all think about the future at one time or another, we all either wish we could change our paths or hope that we don’t veer from it. And FlashForward will be exploring these themes, and more, on a global level. For everything that LOST has (and it has a lot), it doesn’t quite have the immediate sense of ‘were all in this together’. Yes, season 6 may go on to confirm a much larger tapestry, but from the get go, FlashForward is telling us straight up - “this is a global thing!”.
I expect a lot from this episode, but in truth, I think the later episodes are what we should judge the series by.
