Remember how Lost opened with the lead male character becoming conscious after a crash and the whole experience is very jarring? You know how people are saying that FlashForward is the next Lost? Well, apparently the show runners are taking that to heart, because we literally open the pilot episode of FlashForward with the lead male character (Mark Benford) becoming conscious after a crash. Close up on his face – he’s upside-down in a car and climbs out. We see dead/unconscious people on the road, people screaming and wandering around. Mark calls out for Demetri and there’s a dude on fire. Nice.
Four hours earlier, the city of LA is waking up to another morning. I think this is how that movie Volcano started out. That movie kind of sucks, but I like it. Mark opens his safe to pull out his gun and then goes to kiss his wife, Olivia. He makes breakfast for his daughter, Charlie and then heads off to work. The babysitter, Nicole, arrives just before he leaves.
On the patio, Olivia is now awake and leaving a message for her co-worker, Bryce, who wasn’t at work the day before. Bryce is walking along a pier (Santa Monica pier?). He stares out at the water and the other people and sees that he has five missed calls, but doesn’t bother checking his messages. Then he pulls a gun out of his bag.
