White To Play
As we speculated last week, it looks like each episode of FlashForward will feature a clue in the opening titles to foreshadow the episode. The clue in the NMGD titles was the friendship bracelet, given to Mark by his daughter Charlie. The clue for White To Play was the white queen chess piece discovered at D. Gibbon’s lair.
D. Gibbon’s seemed to be an avid player chess player (above) – he had computer chess game in his warehouse (rigged to the explosives) and as we mentioned, a white queen chess piece was found after the explosion. The white queen also offers insight into the episode title – “White to Play”. Are certain groups viewing the Global Blackout in game-like terms? Is the GBO their first ‘play’? Perhaps we’ll have to start keeping closer tabs on color thematics from now on?
Suspect Zero
According to video forensics, Suspect Zero is male, 5′8″ and 150 pounds. If I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up, but that profile seems to fit this guy (possible spoiler for those who don’t know about casting).
Sketchy Vision
Bryce Varley could be seen drawing a picture of a mysterious woman. I don’t know who this is, but I think it must carry some significance due to the fact they showed it to us. Could she be someone from his flash forward? Is she the reason for his future happiness?
Message Man
D. Gibbon’s seemed to know more about how the pieces were fitting into place than either Mark or Dimitri. He went on to give Mark a cryptic message that went like this: “He who foresees calamity suffers them twice over”. Is this a clue?
It can be a taken at face value as a warning about seeing your future before you actually live it out (although I guess that would only apply if your flash forward was a bad one). But it could also allude to my idea on alternate realities in FlashForward?
As an aside, Charlie also calls D. Gibbon’s a “bad man”. Did she see him in her flash forward?
We received a few emails from people who thought D.Gibbon’s is being played by a certain actor from “LOST”. We can confirm that Gibbon’s is not a former LOST actor. Here’s the clearest shot we have of him. I don’t recognize him from anything, but if anyone has any ideas feel free to let us know.
As always, if you’d like to add anything to the above or you think that we’ve missed something out, feel free to let us know what YOU saw in the comments.
