The storyline really started to unravel in this weeks episode. Definitely my favorite episode thus far!
Episode Summary:
“Mark and Janis take a trip to Germany to speak to a former Nazi who claims to know why the blackout last 137 seconds. Somehow that information is connected to dead crows. And dead crows have shown up before……specifically in Somalia in 1991, which Mark thinks is connected to the blackout.
Meanwhile, state-side, Aaron tries to confirm that the body in his daughter’s grave isn’t actually his daughter. Demetri’s fiance, Zoey, says she saw their wedding in her flash, which confuses Demetri. And we meet Stanford’s wife, who saw something she didn’t expect.”

Previously on FlashForward, there was a global blackout. And flash forwards. Except for one person who remained awake.
We open in a school yard, where the kids have all presumably blacked out. Except for Benford’s daughter, Charlie, who’s standing there watching. Oh wait, the kids are playing a new game called “blackout” and they all wake up and talk about what they “saw”. When one of the kids asks Charlie what she saw, she says it’s none of their business. A teacher comes by to break up the ruckus and Charlie takes off in a run, only to be stopped by various tanks and army personnel who are close by.
Mark is at an AA meeting, where one member is just complaining about the inevitable future. Mark tells the guy to shut up and then he and Aaron talk about the flashes after the meeting. Aaron thinks that everyone in the world is dealing with the same thing and thinks that it is binding people together….

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.
