It's quite obvious to me Flash Forward was created mainly to transition Lost fans. Similar themes were apparent throughout; time flashes, visions, clues & hopes of changing or not changing the future. Also, did you notice in two of the characters' flash forwards, a bird flies into a window and breaks his neck...remember Walt doing his bird homework and trying to get Brian's attention?...I'm skeptical, but maybe it's just because I'm so addicted to Lost. I seems interesting enough and
I think I'll tune in again this week...after all "Harold" is in it!
Also apparently there's a reading list to go along with the show... picked it up from Amy Chozick's September 18th Wall Street Journal Article "The Art of the Cliffhanger: Facing more demanding viewers, 'FlashForward' tries new tricks"
