Television Review: Flash Forward

What if everybody in the world simultaneously experienced a loss of consciousness for (1/alpha) seconds while mentally experiencing whatever happened to them six months later? It sounds a bit goofy, especially the seemingly inappropriate presence of the fine structure constant, but so far it looks like a pretty promising dramatic premise. The carnage occasioned by the simultaneous loss of consciousness made the first episode rather disaster movie like, but things got more interesting once people started figuring out that they were experiencing the same future world (that 137 seconds saw an awful lot of people looking at clocks and calendars, but the real clue was that if A dreamt about B, B experienced the same events involving A.)

Thursday nights, ABC.
