While I wanted to go forward in time a few days back just to catch the premiere of Flash Forward earlier than most, I couldn't. It's a good thing the premiere of the highly anticipated ABC series has come. Tonight, we get the episode "No More Good Days," and the title itself is bracing us for conflicts we'd never expect.
A normal day in Los Angeles turns distressing when the whole population of the world just blacks out all at once. We meet FBI agent Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) with his partner Demetri Noh (John Cho) in a car chase being monitored by their boss Stanford Wedeck (Courtney B. Vance). Then there's Mark's wife, Dr. Olivia Benford (Sonya Wagner) right in the middle of surgery with her colleague Dr. Bryce Varley (Zachary Knighton) weighing a decision that would change his life.
In another part of the city, Mark and Olivia's daughter Charlie (Lennon Wynn) is supposed to be watched over by baby-sitter Nicole Kirby (Peyton List). However, she's too busy minding her boyfriend. Then comes the moment when the entire planet just blacks out for exactly two minutes and seventeen seconds.
It's April 29, 2010, 10:00 p.m., Pacific Time, and everyone has a glimpse of their future. There are some whose flash-forwards contain hope and joy, but others' are simply unexpected. What's worse is those whose futures might not exist at all.
The FBI's own Mark Benford finds himself caught up in the mystery of the
Flash Forward phenomenon, and he is joined by a team of fellow agents. In order to get to the bottom of it all, everyone is encouraged to chronicle their visions on a website known as The Mosaic Collective. Poring through all that data, Mark and the others will try their best to piece everything together.
Don't forget to catch
Flash Forward's "No More Good Days" tonight, September 24, at 8pm on ABC.
