Created by David Goyer (Batman Begins) and Brannon Braga (TV's Star Trek revival), FlashForward has the season's most intriguing high concept: The entire world blacks out at the same time and gets a glimpse of their lives six months into the future. And it sells that concept from the very first scene, as FBI agent Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes, staking a strong claim in TV's wounded romantic-hero territory) crawls out of an upside-down car, with scenes of destruction all around — which is what happens when people in moving vehicles pass out behind the controls.

FlashForward, ABC's intriguing new drama (Thursdays at 8/7c), chronicles a frightening world event in which everyone loses consciousness simultaneously for two minutes and 17 seconds. During that time, each person experiences a "flash-forward" to the same date about six months into the show's future: April 29, 2010. FBI agent Mark Benford (Shakespeare in Love's Joseph Fiennes) leads the investigation into the phenomenon. "The opportunity to get off a horse, out of a flouncy shirt, into a guy that wears a gun on his hip and some cuffs on the back of his belt, I'll tell you, that's quite nice," the actor says. Let's answer some burning questions about the show that many critics (including us) are calling the next Lost.

 This Thursday, the ABC television network will premiere FlashForward, a drama series based on Robert J. Sawyer’s science-fiction novel of the same name. While the details of the television series are being closely guarded, nuclear and particle physics is at the heart of the novel. Sawyer’s novel kicks off at CERN, where the Large Hadron Collider provides the setting for an event that triggers global mayhem, and features physicists and engineers as main characters.

The actress, who stars on both shows, said that the apocalyptic ABC drama, which has been billed as a replacement for Lost, is "definitely not a sci-fi show".Asked about the comparisons between the shows, she told DS: "I think they're only valid in that they're both big ensemble shows with one big concept or premise. But after that, they part ways really quite rapidly. |
