ABC has a real winner with FlashForward, a television show loosely based on the science fiction novel of the same title by Robert J. Sawyer. Sawyer created a futuristic world, 2009 in which on October 6, 2009 for 2 minutes and 47 seconds the entire human population blacks out and is given a glimpse of what their life will be like in six months. The show centers around FBI agents trying to piece together the world's flashforward experiences through a website they created called Mosaic in order to figure out who is behind this and what their goals are.
This is a stunning example of free will. Here is the catch, just because you see it, does it mean it will really play out that way? Is this show promoting creative visualization? Clearly realism is out of the picture, even though they tried. FBI agents are not that emotional or passionate, even though they are human, their years of training strips away emotion in order to carry out the thankless and difficult jobs ahead. Most law enforcers deal with the worst of society.
What's my point here? Who knows? I got distracted as usual with crap!! I just figured this was a good start to something interesting.

FlashForward Backwards?
Lisa has a unique way of bending reality with her words. With her criminal justice education and entertainment industry work experience, she’s able to tell a true story from an angle that makes you think. Her pilot Transmigration revisits Jonestown: same ending, wicked twist. Her pilot I See gives a shocking, fictional look at an ongoing, unsolved murder case inside the LASD.
