……..future’s not set ……………

I’ve actually found myself a Sci Fi series on T.V. that actually looks half decent , called Flashforward .

In which the whole of the human race falls asleep for two or so minutes and get a glimpse of their own future , it is a bit soap opera (y) in parts but seems generally ok , the end of last nights episode had a police officer looking at footage from all over the world just falling asleep but picked out on one guy who hadn’t ……………………

A promising start , but like most series I really do hope it doesn’t fall in to the too weird or soap opera - camps , I must admit I saw a connection with the series Lost somewhere when I was initially reading about it , so I was a little put off by this , and you know what I’m going to say next , don’t you :)

Lost is a series about absolutely and utterly ………..nothing :)

Nothing like being predictable :)


I noticed , when the end credits rolled I noticed , the series is based on a novel by a guy called Robert J Sawyer , and I thought I’d check him out and in doing so revealed the plotline , so if you don’t want to know – don’t do it :).

Personally - knowing what happens is irrelevant to me , as getting to the end whatever it may be is more interesting , thus I think I’ll buy the book which is slightly different to the television version , simply - as I’m interested in the concept of freewill and cause and effect - which runs through both , anyway I won’t say anymore as I don’t want to spoil it for you ……………well except ……………..the ship sinks in the end of Titanic ……………wooops ……………….
