FlashForward: Are We There Yet?

Not a lot happens, there’s your recap.

So because the finale is TONIGHT (!) and I’ve been a bit late with the recap this week, let’s take a very special photocap look at what the writers actually thought merited a whole episode.

“Don’t worry sweetheart, I’m sure we’ll all get new jobs after this show. Well…most of us.”

You guys, a mix tape! My heart is melting. MARK + DEMETRI

Kiss him! KISS HIM!

As Charlie gently dies in the background. In Olivia’s defense, Charlie’s energy level/acting talent has been dropping all season.

“As usual, I’m only here to give bad news. The show’s been canceled!”

“I’ve lived this moment hundreds of times. I’m like Bill Murray! Only much, much less entertaining.”

What the walls of the writers’ room look like.

No!

NO!

NO NO NO!!!

What I ask myself WHENEVER Bryce and Nicole come on.

CASUAL DEMETRI.

“For no good reason besides that we only have two episodes left, I’ve chosen now to tell you that I put a baby in Janis. I hope you don’t do something silly like get mad! Ho ho!”

“For no good reason besides that we only have two episodes left, I’ve chosen now to realize that you’re sort of a high-maintenance jerk.”

“Only two episodes? My character can’t really be this underdeveloped and irrelevant, can it?”

And then, for old-time’s sake, FBI Director found one more mission he could disallow Mark from joining.

Oh, and then this guy was the creepiest-looking character ever. Seriously, he might be a vampire.

But he was also here to tie Tracy to Black-Out experiments, even though this is the most random-ass thing ever. So…huh?

My favorite FlashForward spin-off idea: the laughs don’t stop when Janis, Simon, and Demetri all move in together! Each week, watch as they embark on laugh-a-minute romps involving delightful and zany misunderstandings, and just maybe learn a little something about friendship.

“Turns out FBI Director was right about the mission being a trap. Good thing we had three other redshirt agents to send to their deaths.”

FlashForward producers: “We NEVER get tired of shooting people looking at the Mosaic Board.”

Mark to Charlie: (everything Phil Collins has ever written)

They really should rename this show “Janis Makes A Decision, Is Filled With Regret.”

And then, a little father/son physics bonding.

MARK USED HEADBUTT. It’s super effective!

“Just call me Mark ‘No Way I Don’t Play Into Villains’ Hands’ Binford.”

My least favorite FlashForward spin-off: a Nick Sparks-type drama about the perils of Bryce and Nicole’s relationship. This turns into my favorite spin-off if instead it becomes Bryce and Nicole lost in the mountains and being hunted by some psychotic killer.

It’s rough when a secondary character that no one cares about gets dumped for one that everyone cares about even less.

And that’s why you don’t try to have careers LADIES.

Which needs resuscitating more, Tracy or this storyline? Hey-oh!

The face we all made when that guy comes out of NOWHERE and gives Mark a flask.

Quit hitting on Mark, random bar guy! He’s Demetri’s man!

“We really, REALLY need to do it. It’s for the fate of the world…and stuff.”

Oh, Mark. As we recappers can attest, it’s rough here on the other side of the law.

“Are we there yet?”

Stay tuned! FOR THE FINALE!
