FlashForward - 137 Sekunden - Recap
Here's the FlashForward recap of tonight's epsiode "137 Sekunden" from Noelle:
It's time for a recap of the newest show that's making our brains slowly implode. Flashforward kicks off this week with the continuation of Demetri's phone call about his impending murder. The creepy lady fills us in that not only will he be murdered, but he will be gunned down and shot three times. That's some cheery imagery for you. Here's hoping the next scene is slightly happier...Oh. It's Germany. At a prison and we're talking to a 90 year old nazi who says he's about to be released. Cheery imagery not so much.
I want to point out that the amount of british actors on this show is awesome. It's a shame most are playing americans. Anywho, we're at the airport now and its like Oceanic exploded. Crashed planes everywhere. Gabrielle Union sighting! She's playing Demetri's fiance Zoey and she's sitting on a pretty empty plane. I wouldn't be too keen on flying when the entire world is subject to blacking out even if it took me to an island with Michael Emerson...would you?
Demetri hands over his cell phone to Agent Gough (let's keep calling him Jett Jackson shall we?) and wants to know who the female creeper is with his life in her hands. The group is going over notes on theories why they blacked out. One group says it's because "a toxic gas was released from deep within the earth due to crustal rifting." So basically, the earth farted and the world blacked out. Kudos. They land on a note from Germany which has the statement from the creepy nazi from earlier claiming he knows why the blackout lasted as long as it did. He's the creepy face from Mark's board and he knows who Mark is.
Whoa. That airport is emptier than an upcoming Michael Sarver concert. Oh yeah, I went there. Zoey and Demetri are reunited. Yay! In not so happy-land, Aaron is on a mission to prove his daughter is alive and goes to visit his..ex wife?..for permission to exume their daughter's remains. Yuck. Lost tidbit alert. The woman playing her (Kim Dickens) played Sawyer's girlfriend on Lost. And she's named Kate. Harrrr. A shot of the outside of a hotel shows a sign that says "Blackout Special." Really? Zoey is happy as a clam because her vision was of their wedding on a beach. It kinda looks like a Sandals hotel commercial. She says she saw Demetri there. Hmmm.
This old nazi is a sneaky old codger who wants all charges against him to be dropped in return for his flashforward information. Bastard. He'll tell half now and half later after he's pardoned. That's never a good idea. He goes on about how some word in Kaballah is numbered and equals the number of seconds the flashforward lasted. Okay...I feel like i'm missing something there. Mark shares my frustration and threatens to kick old creeper's ass. The old guy's flashforward shows him back in America at an airport telling a customs guard that a murder brought him back. It's all shakey and blurry. Probably because he has glaucoma or he's about to croak. Whatever murder it is, he's not telling us now.
Gross. A fat guy dancing in his underwear. Is this the cheery imagery I asked for? He's the customs officer from the old guy's vision which proves he's telling the truth. The amount of commercials this show has is annoying. Damn you ABC. Stop teasing me with this Dairy Queen commercial. Mark pulled some strings and gets Aaron his daughter's remains. Problem there is that he was wrong. They really are her remains.
Old Nazi got what he wanted. He's a free man now. The big piece of information he has left is...when he woke up he looked out his window and saw a ton of dead crows. Dead crows. That's the murder he was referring to. Ugh. I feel cheated. He believes what he says is helpful..and turns out it is. We find out the blackout may have happened before by tracing the last time the crow population dropped. We're treated to a flashback to 1991 in Somalia where we see hundreds of crows die while theres a.. massive shift in the clouds?! What's going on in the sky?? Looks like it was a mushroom cloud or a massive tower. Gulp.
Questions from tonight:
?Why are all the crows dying??What was in the clouds?
Was Zoey dreaming her vision?
Did the blackout really happen before? If so why?
Is Aaron's daughter really dead?
