HUGE ASS LOST CLUE IN FLASHFORWARD PILOT.

by Jani Ogglin (NWM Staff Writer)

For those that can’t get enough of the freshman ABC hit FlashForward, here’s another reason to partake in the reruns. Apparently there’s a big f--ing LOST clue right in the very first episode. In one of the scenes agents Mark and Demetri are driving and pass a billboard for ta, da, daaaa an ad for Oceanic Air. The headline reads, “Perfect Safety Record.” So the 10 million dollar question is what does that say about Oceanic Flight 815? Is that a hint that the bomb at the end of last season actually worked, and the crash never happened? Guess we’ll find out soon enough.

HIDDEN TV GEMS: FLASHFORWARD (PILOT)

FlashFoward premiered on ABC last week. It marks the American Broadcasting Company's umpteenth time at bat to come up with a 2^nd success in the “Lost” genre. Looks like they might’ve gotten their wish. As far as pilots go, FF has faired pretty strong in the ratings department. They also dished out a decent-sized surprise cameo. An FBI guy played by one Mister Seth MacFarlane – creator and voice-master for the Family Guy. Turns out he’s good buddies with the FlashForward’s creator – Brannon Braga (Star trek / 24 fame). I caught the episode, and actually thought Seth did well in “serious action-drama” land. Though, I have to admit his delivery was a bit Brian Griffin (see video below). As far as Seth’s future with the show, the producers are already planning up future pop-ins. Definitely gives ABC one more reason to grant a season 2 to this quirky new series.
