I thought the same. Also, his slo-mo phone toss right before.

Were the bad guys in the FBI building just there to kill Mark? Did they want to kill him because they knew he was going to figure out when the next blackout was coming?

It's a shame this show wasn't done better. It is a great idea but the show is just killed by certain things like stupid, unnecessary story lines (asian girl, well actually her doctor love interest is totally unneeded also) and not giving a crap about any of the characters. So much wasted potential. Especially now that it has been cancelled, I wish they would have just stuck to the main storyline that was actually interesting instead of dragging it out with all these story lines that caused people to lose interest in the show. Even if done correctly it seems like this is only a 3 or 4 season max type of show anyway. It seems kind of interesting where they were taking it with the way in the future flash forward, but how much life can you squeeze out of flash forwards after a while.

Totally agree, Marks running towards the window was freaking hilarious. That dude probably killed the show more than anyone. I don't know if it was writing, acting, or both but he couldn't be anymore serious, boring, and uninteresting. Still a way better show than V though. Maybe they can try this one again in 20 years without making it suck.

Oh yeah, and I wanted to punch Mark and his wife the next time they called their daughter "Charlie Bear".

well frick. I started to watch this, but missed a few and like LOST, I said, "frick it, I won't know what the frick is going on." so I stopped.

I liek the idea of finishing out in one season...because really, how long can you drag out until they reached the day they all kept seeing...what was it April something?

Well the finale was written like there was going to be another season. Since it pretty much ended with a cliffhanger and not a ton was resolved. And finale SPOILERS:



















There was another blackout right after they had reached the point they had been seeing.

Man i should have never quit watching the show. Last night I saw Mark Benford running and started cracking up. I rewinded it a good five or six times just to watch him run over and over again. I guess now i have to go back and watch on demand all of his other sprinting moments from past shows.

Me too. I swear he and Harold cracked me up with the running scenes since the first episode! Overall though I liked the show. I thought last nights episode was very good with everything coming full circle. I would def. watch it next year if it was still on.

It looked like the next FF was somewhere far into the future so maybe they were going to stop this "next blackout" stuff and focus on other plots.

**Spoilers**


What was strange about it was you couldn't really tell then the FF point was. You saw so many different dates - Happy New Year 2015 on the banner, the letter dated 2011 - and Charlie looked like she was an older teen, so more than just 5 years.

I never understood the experiments with the savants. Did the entire group always see the same date when they did a flash, or could they jump to different dates? If they could, maybe that's what happened with the second global flash.

I think different people saw different dates. At least that is what I gathered from the flash clips.

I assume you mean Demitri (Harold). No, he didn't die.

I also think the reason he didn't have a flash forward the first time is because he was wearing the ring.

This show really should have focused on the philosophical ideas and ethical dilemmas that would arise in a situation like this instead of all the pointless side stories. Great concept, executed very poorly.

He didn't put the ring on. He said he didn't want to miss out on seeing a flash forward the second time.
