FlashForward returns to ABC tonight after a 3 month hiatus. To be honest, the previous 10 episodes are a bit of a blur (although the What Did You See? Recap show did help to refresh) – not much really resonated with me. Sure, there were a couple of outstanding moments (Al Gough’s leap of faith, most things Simon-related, and the introduction of Keiko), but for 10 episodes worth of entertainment, the powers that be must know that they fell short of fan expectations.
That said, FlashForward returns tonight with the brand new Revelation Zero – Parts 1 & 2. It’s the first of what you suspect will be a clutch of final chances for the show to turn things around and rise from the mediocre standards it set itself in 2009. As I’ve said previously, I’m more than willing to give the show a clean slate – I’d say that 5 or 6 episodes will be enough for me to make up my mind as to whether FlashForward is really worth investing my time in. Fingers crossed.
One of the most pertinent questions left hanging from the first half of the season was the idea that Demitri Noh is going to get killed by Mark Benford. Here’s what John Cho had to say on that front:
“I know whether Dmitri dies or not,” Cho said. “That’s being addressed in a very clear way.”
Cho added: “It’s very, very thrilling. It’s a very thrilling episode. And, yeah, and satisfactory. … I’ll just say this: There are … some twists and turns that, I thought I knew a few things, but apparently I did not.”
I guess we better watch to find out.
