Hi Buddys.
I was watching “Flashforward” (the ABC series) on my PC today and wanted to make a comment about this “I-saw-into-future” trend, all the characters present after the Blackout.
For the ones who do not know Flashforward main plot is about a Worldwide event, know as the Blackout, in which every person experiment a glimpse of his/her own future ( 6 month ahead since the blackout) that last 197 seconds and aperently the vision of onwn individual match of the others who where around. Besides, the ones who did not see anything are suposed to be dead by the time the vision is located in time ( or maybe just slepping, who knows xD)
Going back to the reason of my post . . . the characters, most of them, are freak out for what they saw, maybe because it was scary, or maybe ‘cuz it was unespected. On the other hand another group of characters is just especting to get to the day they saw in their visions, ‘cuz it was something good for them.
But the general pattern is FATE, good or bad, people are just believe what they saw, and are trying to change things around so this future could, or could not, become reality.They’re are losing they sence of the “present” and are obsessed ( OMFG Obsessed xD) with their future.
Howevere since the last episode we now know the future can be change, because a person who had a flashforward jumped of a building and died, starting the well know “Butterfly effect” and messing everyones flashes, in a direct or indirect way.
So what will happen now? What is next? Are the visions reliable anymore?
All this fate vs free will make me think. Are we THAT MUCH obsessed with the future?, What would we do if we had a flashforward?
I hope I never get to have one, I’ll be sort of obsessed ( more than usual) with the idea of what may( or will) happen
