This recap may have been the best recap I have watched on TH-cam. It really seemed as if I watched the entire series in a single 30 minute episode without skipping around actually from piecing together scenes from an entire season of an actual series.
Best recap? The world’s population did not die. The show never claimed people died. They were unconscious for two minutes and seventeen seconds (a fact that is omitted in this recap) A social media platform, similar to Facebook at the time of filming, was also created to help people find anyone who appeared in their visions of their future lives six months after the blackout. This was an important plot point on the series.
The people passed out. They didn't die and then come back to life. I enjoyed the tv show. I even bought the DVD so I could watch it whenever I wanted. It is ashamed that it only lasted one season.
yea but which do you think gets more clicks, not just because it's more clickbait-y but also you probably won't recognize it as flash forward off just the title
AGREED! This show had SO MUCH POTENTIAL! It's cancellation is why many people no longer get invested in TV Series on Network TV! We learned despite US spending our time and energy to watch, the Networks don't care and will pull the rug out from under fans. So why bother!
I recently started watching independent sci-fi videos, but they seem to have the same issue only far more frequently. Why anyone could possibly believe that it's acceptable to write half of a compelling story, lose interest in completing it, and stop working on it, yet still publish it, is completely beyond me. Should anyone dare to complain, they honestly seem to feel like victims. If they can't be bothered to finish telling a story, they have no business wasting our time and causing us to be frustrated by releasing only the first half. How is that so difficult to understand? I'm not interested in admiring some random, wannabe author/screenwriter's writing skills on a partial story. I'm looking for something to entertain myself while I complete otherwise boring tasks. I most certainly do not appreciate having my choice of entertainment during the limited time I have available for such things, transformed into a source of irritation
This is funny but I just met a guy through the comments section that's blind and since the name of the movie isn't highlitable(it's not a real word) hence the live speech caption wouldn't work, he couldn't tell the name of the movie. Since then, I always never judge.
One big goof no one noticed is the fact they claimed ALL of the World had a blackout at same time but nearly half of the world is on other side of the planet sleeping, so blacking out doesn't register to them. Probably series creator were not smart enough to realize America not all of the world..😜
Was this based on the early 2000s Black Out? The one that took out electricity in several states/part of Canada? That was kinda wild and I couldn't imagine that happening now
Take all of the one two and three year sci fi type series and run a combine with writting 3 bridge episodes as the link . A combine of Eureka , this and firefly
And you can see why this show lasted for one season. They entire premise and storyline makes no damn sense no matter how much time you spend on it. Bad premise, questionable writing, and of course since it was a series and they wanted it to continue, lots of loose hanging threads that are never ever resolved. IE crap.
Flashforward (TV Series 2009-2010)
Was that frodo from Harry Potter and the wizard of oz 🤔
@@Fantastic_Captain wuz supposed to be funny lol 😂
It was such a good show. I am very disappointed that it got cancelled.
Mark from Enemy at the Gates?
Dr Simon from Lord of the Ring?
Bustaryhme in this too? .... feel like 09/10 was short while ago
The writers didn't get paid@@Azulakayes

23 episodes , that 's like 3 seasons of a show these days.
@@orange11squares That's true.
I did not expect to see John Cho in this recap. The guy really can do any movie/TV show.
Plus he could definitely get it!!
Dang 15 years went by FAST! I remember being invested in this show. Then.....WOMP WOMP WOMP
A flashback of Fastforward, how appropriate. ;)
It was such a good show!! That is why I don't invest in shows anymore! They just cancelled so quickly now.
This show is why I quit watching series on network tv. You get invested only to have it cancelled
AGREED! This show had SO MUCH POTENTIAL!
It's cancellation is why many people no longer get invested in TV Series on Network TV! We learned despite US spending our time and energy to watch, the Networks don't care and will pull the rug out from under fans. So why bother!
@@Snapper314or it’s a never ending story with season after season of deteriorating story lines and material 😞
OMG! Same here😮

Agree, I really enjoyed the first season and then they cancelled it.
It is a travesty of justice, that there were no more seasons. This show Flashforward was so amazing!
Glad I scrolled the comments while watching/listening to the recap and realized it’s to a series that got canceled lol I was going to look it up
I enjoyed it enough to be upset about it not getting a second season. In reality...and ironically...thats kinda what we want in a show.
I wasted 30 minute for this
It was a pretty good book first. Gregory Benford I think, edit nope Robert J Sawyer one of my favorite authors
This TV series was based on the book by Robert J. Sawyer, a Canadian Sci-fi author. His books are amazing! Of course, the network messed up his story.
What is the name of the book?
@@maschiavon Flashforward. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_J._Sawyer
@@maschiavon Flashforward. The same as the tv series. Although the flashforward in the book is years, not months.
@stevetennispro thanks. Does the book provide an explanation for everything in a plausible and surprising way?
@@maschiavon I don't remember. It's been so long since I read it. Sorry.
Never realised Seth MacFarlane was in Flashforward, then there he is, @1:43 :D
A good recap, shame the series stopped when it did.
Urgggggg!!! I watched a recap for a series that was cancelled.. :(
Awww jet Jackson ❤😢
Ikr!
Too bad it was cancelled after 1 season.
😢so its no one knows what happens?
Yeap that sucked. Wasted potential
This show sounds great! I won’t watch it though knowing it was cancelled after just 1 season. Hate when networks do that!
I'm pissed off 🤬 How u gonna let me get invested in a show that has no conclusion?!!! Great recap though
Before becoming a scientist, Merry was always getting Pippin into all kinds of trouble.
Many actors from the tv series LOST appeared on this show. It might be linked
Same network
I watched this 1 season twice. Love this show.
People died and came back to life? I thought this was going to be the best Zombie Apocalypse movie ever!!😖
They didn't die during the Black Out except if they did something that could kill them during the Black Out, like driving or so.
Haters
H - Having
A - Anger
T - Towards
E - Everyone
R - Reaching
S - Success
OMGEE! THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SERIES OF ALL TIME! 😭 PLEASE REVIEW THE SEQUEL, REWIND.
River Song pops up here. The Doctor must be close behind.
How in the world did this not get a second season?!
It seems like they just had to make things as complicated as they get !! It simply just gives you one big headache !
spotted Zachary Knighton straight away ❤
And still there will be questions about the movies name 😂
What's the movie called!?
@@SteveWhite-x1g can't read?
@@mrd7532 don't get sarcasm?
Movie name? ... 🤦♂️😅
This is funny but I just met a guy through the comments section that's blind and since the name of the movie isn't highlitable(it's not a real word) hence the live speech caption wouldn't work, he couldn't tell the name of the movie. Since then, I always never judge.
They did not *die* They were unconscious and saw visions of the future.
This was such a great show
Loved this show
He's a Cylon. Get him.
Baltar is also there.... my Gods... two enemies of humanity.
One big goof no one noticed is the fact they claimed ALL of the World had a blackout at same time but nearly half of the world is on other side of the planet sleeping, so blacking out doesn't register to them. Probably series creator were not smart enough to realize America not all of the world..😜
I can guarantee you that not everyone was sleeping.
Oceanic Airlines everyone? mmmh?
Hated that it got cancelled... The book gives an idea on how it would had gone but it also ends in a open ending.
Thanks for letting me know not to start this series hate when a good show gets cancelled
Oh man i remember this series. I loved it. I was mad when they didnt finish it. If it was a book i would read it.
It is.
It's a book.
You should read it.
What’s the background music?
2:01 Seth Macfarlane?
Certainly looked like him.
I had the same thought.
It was him.
Yes. It is him. Ya know he's an actor right? Just just a writer/director.
I hate to be in those flying Airplanes when this happen. I doubt they be coming back.
Was this based on the early 2000s Black Out? The one that took out electricity in several states/part of Canada? That was kinda wild and I couldn't imagine that happening now
9:39 what does his throat do? 😮
26:23 River song?
What was the reason that they cancelled this series? It was one of my favorites.
let's hope that wasn't the reason 🤪
Terrible ratings. It went from 12.5million for episode 1 to about 4million for the final episode.
The series was generally dark including the suicide of one of the main cast...back then people weren't ready for gritty stories.
Take all of the one two and three year sci fi type series and run a combine with writting 3 bridge episodes as the link .
A combine of
Eureka , this and firefly
Great Recap - but i like the other, deeper AI-Voice much more. Please bring back the old voice!!

Flashforward, is written under the video

But did Harold ever make it to White Castle..??
I was here 💯👌
1:43 Seth McFarland? Lol
that show was so good, why did they stop it ?
Very different from the novel it’s based on, by Robert J Sawyer
i was watching that show,unfortunatly got canceled
Looking at the recap, I reckon I dodged a bullet here
Ahhhh, local Hong Kong FBI agents.... Classic.
I’ll be back in 2 weeks to count up how many commenters ask *what the name of the movie is* 🤣
this background music makes me depressed

It was filled with convoluted BS, similar to Lost and by '09 people were tired of it. Throw in the unlikable characters..
so it got cancelled? boooooooo
WTF?
What a stupid script. How do crappy movies like this keep being made?
Low ratings
Aaaaaaannnnnnnnd caaaannnnncccceeeeelllleeeeeeddd 😢😢😢😢😢
