Tonight's episode was written by Robert J. Sawyer, the author of the
book 'FlashForward,' which this series is loosely based on. He's been a
story consultant on each episode, but this was his first time taking
the reins and steering the ship himself. He chose a pretty
important episode to do so, in that it touched on elements leading all
the way back to the beginning of the series. There was a pretty
extensive use of flashbacks, to make sure we were keeping things
straight. They even did flashbacks of events that had just happened
earlier in the episode. It worked, surprisingly enough, in keeping
things moving forward.
Other than the escapades of Aaron the
mercenary, we got a lot of progress in putting the pieces together.
Simon's character got perhaps even more complex, and even Al Gough's
valiant sacrifice came back into play. Can you cheat the destiny ahead
of you, or will fate find a way of meeting you anyway. When did this
turn into 'Final Destination'? This week it was all about
cheating death. At first, those who'd survived past their foreseen
expiration dates, the "Blue Hand Club," were being taken out by one of
their own, Slingerland. That's one way for the universe to course
correct. Or actually, it's unclear if that is a true course correction.
It could just as easily be a lunatic who thinks this is what he has to
do.
