We saw a clip - travelly chunk of newfangled ABC show FlashForward , where worldwide clairvoyance do a spherical disaster . And Lost’sDominic Monaghanmade a surprise coming into court . spoiler ahead .
During the FlashForward panel , producers David S. Goyer , Marc Guggenheim and Brannon Braga debuted the first 17 minutes of their show .
possible action on a shot ofJoseph Fiennesupside - down in a car ( next to some oranges ) , and it appears as though some catastrophic effect has occur in Los Angeles . Mark Benford is just start up to navigate the wreckage of a highway full of cars when the show jumps backward in clip ala J.J. Abrams .
From there , the level is high-strung and snub from one lineament to another too tight , introducing us to no less than seven potentially important characters in the first 10 minutes .
Penny ( Sonya Walger ) from Lost returns to ABC to become Olivia , Mark ’s doting wife . Or least a wife who knows the combination to Mark ’s safe which is where he store his gun . As Mark head below , his girl ( who you just know is going to be polar ) is watching crazy cartoons at 7 AM on what may or may not be a school twenty-four hours .
Next up in the revolving door of quick role intros is the Benford family ’s babysitter , Nicole . She enters the house and soon we see her “ hang out ” on the couch with her boyfriend . We apace move on to Bryce , a dysfunctional Isle of Man on a wharfage with a dying indirect request .
The show begins to slow slimly when we seeJohn Choas Mark ’s ( I ’m assuming ) comic pal , though , unhappily , we only see some of his sass here . He and Fiennes are sidekick - pal FBI agents tracking down some guys . And a girl . As with all drawn - out tv set shows intent on retain you around for the long haul , you do n’t get many detail up front .
There ’s a flashgun and we see about 30 second of Mark ’s personal flash into the future . It ’s grainy and full of easter eggs and wholly confusing to the untrained eye . Words jump out at Mark and somewhere in there is a slight court to Watchmen artist “ D. Gibbons . ”
After the flare , Nicole the neglectful babysitter runs upstairs where the creepy-crawly daughter is seat upright in her bed and she tells her babysitter , “ I dreamt there were no more skillful days . ” What ? ! What does this mean ? ! Which is incisively what the producer are hoping we ’ll ask .
And now we ’ve caught up to the reliable source of this show . Mark hops around trying to reckon out what make these crashes and run into an oddly unagitated look Cho . The two pair up to fight some crime and end up with more question than before .
The whole humanity has been bear upon by this phenomenon , and it come out the first order of line of work is trace precisely what materialise . It ’s an intriguing musical theme , and with Goyer on board , we definitely should n’t take for granted that it will fall out the original novel by Robert J. Sawyer .
In fact , Goyer say , they crunched the timeline from a tough - to - film 21 - yr vision of the hereafter into a six - month one , to serve move the game along . Everyone encounter 2 minutes and 17 seconds of their future as it happens on April 29 , a date which will sync up nicely with at least part one of the season finale .
Despite the alteration , however , Robert J. Sawyer on the face of it approve . The producer have n’t lost any of the last and end of Sawyer ’s original novel , even showcasing the prostration of Los Angeles in the viewing of the flash , up near and personal in the first two acts of the pilot program . Goyer said Sawyer is the show ’s “ unofficial science advisor ” and that he will be save an episode for the first season .
The show look decent despite a rough beginning , and it sound like the writers have an endgame in mind .
And , ultimately , at the very end of the control panel came our glimpse of Dominic Monaghan as a human named Simon .
In the cartridge holder , Mark chokes a scud Lloyd Simcoe ( play by Jack Davenport ) , holding him against the rampart and demand to know who he is and who he run for , dammit . And then Dominic Monaghan appear , look oh - so - all right in his suit and saying , simply , “ I am Simon . ”
