Your message reminded me of another show/movie which I'm trying very hard to recall.. OH! It was District 9. In that sci-fi movie, it was made so that the viewer, at the least, felt conflicted with the main character. He made poor -and- great decisions forming a sort of love/hate relationship between the viewer and the character. I feel that was done here with many of the FlashForward characters. I had kept in mind that the scripting is deliberate, but I was infuriated when Bryce forgot about Keiko and tried loving Nicole. I was furious when Mark moved out of the house (doesn't he realize that made room for Lloyd to be there???). But in the end they made great decisions. Mark fought off the imposter bomb squad and gave the most great message to his child earlier that day. Not to mention, it really affected Olivia in a positive way. And Bryce came to his senses when he learned that Keiko was within arm's grasp. And he got to be with her. Bless her mother... my god. We may not always like what's done with these characters, but writers are often redeeming. They know that it's worth it to make you hate a character a bit or even a lot, and then they show you that character making a great decision. It's part of the whole "we went through something heavy" instead of the shallow ground many shows offer viewers, in terms of us experiencing what the characters go through. I'm sorry if this message is a bit of diarrhea, but I had to let this out. If you've read all of this, thank you for your time!   See 26 other replies
