      Did anyone else easily figure out every twist and turn?
      What other twists were there?

      The only one that comes to mind is the injured boy's father being the man in the doctor's flash forward.

      But I didn't see that one coming because I thought I heard them say that the kid's parents were both dead. I heard wrong and it threw me off for a second. I had to rewind the episode to figure out what I missed.

          Re: Flash Forward -- Season 1

          I'm curious about that as well. I couldn't comprehend how a kangaroo ended up in the middle of downtown LA. My first guess is it escaped from a zoo, but then where are the other animals?

            maybe the blackout didn't affect the animals. Just people.

              That's what I thought also. I figured it either escaped from a zoo.

                  That was my next guess. Someone was carrying it in a vehicle and it "escaped" after a crash.

                    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.
                    Are you thinking that he didn't have a blackout a la the mystery guy at the baseball game? I'm thinking so...which would explain why he wasn't anywhere near the car when people started coming to.

                      My first inclination was that it was from the zoo as well but when no other animals showed up after the kangaroo I started thinking there is more to it. What that is I can't even start to hazard a guess yet.

                        It could just be a symolic meaning. You guys might know the myth where kangaroo came from "I don't understand", and it could just be there to show that they don't understand what happened. Now how it got there, I have no guess better than all yours.

                          That is one of the other ones I was thinking of. I just figured from the nature of the show it wouldn't be just a random joe she was with. Not sure where it clicked for me, but before they showed him I knew it was going to end up being him. They foreshadowed it, guess I just happen to catch it.

                            yeah, very possible he didn't black out and doesn't know why he didn't.

                              I didn't even consider that. I wondered about it while watching the show, but completely ignored it afterwards. It's possible.

                                Maybe that's how he gets involved with those sniper guys in the flash forward (if that is indeed what happens) because he didn't black out he was able to tell what was going on.
