    I'm going to predict people will be able to change parts of their future. I also believe John Cho's character isn't being honest when he said he didn't even have a flash forward/blank future.

    Just like Lost, this show has the potential to be one big cluster**** down the road.

    I think he is lying too.

      Re: Flash Forward

      I agree, he's lying.

      My thinking is he is probably one of the masked men (or doing something very wrong if not working for them) and is using pure semantics to illustrate his thoughts. He knows he'll end up doing something wrong and he knows that when he's caught, he'll be as good as dead.

      I was also thinking that he might be the father of the baby. Of course, he probably wouldn't know that from his flash forward, but I keep thinking that he's the father. Either way, the father is going to be someone we've already met.

        This is exactly how I feel about his character. You put it so much better then I would've.

        As for the future I think some will be able to change them and some will not. I'm really intrigued about the guy and his military daughter. That storyline has my interest.

          It was ok. I'll keep watching on Hulu for now. Joseph Fiennes was really overacting at times though. Hopefully that gets toned down a little.

            I'm all in. There are obviously personal storylines and characters that I care about more than others, but the primary storyline is so interesting that I will watch to the end to see how that turns out no matter what.

            Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

            Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                I fear we may get a bit Prison Break with this one. But we'll see. Maybe they already have a plan just in case because everyone's future is obviously at the point of the season's end.

                Unless their "out" is the FBI head (or whatever he was) asking if this could happen again. Maybe it will, though, I imagine that'll be somewhat stupid.
                That's my only concern. Other than that, the show seemed fantastic

                  I think people are looking too deep into it.

                  It's just a shout out to Lost and one of it's brands.

                    Fringe had the same kind of Lost easter egg, Cloverfield had the same. It's all just a little fan service.

                          Loved the pilot, absolutely killer. One episode in and I'm already enthralled.

                          This will definitely ease the blow of losing my favorite show of all time - LOST.

                            Was that CGI or did they have them film that at the end of a game?

                              That's not really a twist as some of us are speculating that he won't be dead at least not the way you think as he could very well be one of those guys that come into the office looking to kill his partner.
