Lost Update - Summer Of Lost - 09/28/2009
Last week ABC rolled out their new television program, Flash Forward, the replacement for the highly successful program Lost. To pay homage to the critically acclaimed show, an Oceanic airlines billboard was visible at the beginning of the program. As we all know, Oceanic Flight 815 was the doomed plane that sent the passengers to the Lost island to fight for their very lives.
Lost is beginning it's sixth and final season in early 2010 and the finale will be a massive surprise to all those except the readers of the Grassy Knoll Institute.
Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting 2 minutes and 17 seconds to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.
What does the Grassy Knoll Institute believe Flash Forward to be about......
Don't worry my dear readers. I would never inflict the same pain upon you as I have done the past 5 plus years with Lost.
However, a Twilight Zone episode titled, A Kind Of A Stopwatch, fits the bill and explains the Flash Forward pilot. A Kind Of Stop Watch, (Original airdate: 10/18/1963, episode #124) was about a man that happened upon a magic stopwatch, that whenever he stopped the watch, all time itself stopped as well. All the people, animals, time itself coming to a halt. Except for him. He was able to move around and manipulate whatever he wanted without anyone seeing him. (Rob banks, skip out of restaurants, never wait in lines)
The Flash Forward pilot began with everyone loosing consciousness for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Planes crashed, (Maybe Oceanic Flight 815 was included) cars collided, people drowned. This lapse of time was a world wide event. Every city, every country reported the exact phenomenon at the same time. And many people claimed they saw the future, April 29th, 2010, and glimpses of events unfolding on that day.
The pilot ended with the two FBI agents viewing video tape from a baseball game in New York. One person was moving, walking down the aisle and into the tunnel. Who is that man?
In the Twilight Zone episode, the man broke the watch while time was halted, leaving him alone in the world for all eternity. For Flash Forward, there will be some sort of device that can alter and stop time.
Submitted for your approval, or at least your analysis.....
LURKING, STILL LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL
Oh no you didn't!
ReplyDeleteNow that Lost is almost over, you're going to suck us all back in with Flash Forward.
How do you know that is a oceanic sign from Lost? I cant make it out.
ReplyDeleteWatch the show, you can read the whole sign....
ReplyDeleteOh HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere comes another 6 years of virtual reality, aliens, and Rod Serling.
Oh the humanity! :)
Hello grassy knoll. Long time. Anyway, is it the same writing staff of Lost as Flash Forward and just trying to get in some free advertising for Lost that doesn't start until January.
ReplyDeleteDo you think they'll actually answer any questions in Lost in the final season, or do you think they'll just go out with more questions?
ReplyDeleteI would tend to believe that lotgk could make a case for just about any program having to do with the Twilight Zone. It was well written, and had all the key modern elements of a scifi show.
ReplyDeleteI liked it. I think I saw this somewhere though, not on Twilight Zone, but somewhere else. The man not frozen, he is of course the key to the Flash Forward, why isn't he affected, why only him, unless like you said, he has some sort of time device. Hope they offer answers faster than they do on Lost.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to watch the show and formulate my own theory. It won't have anything to do with old black and white tv shows. I believe it's biblical.
ReplyDeleteIs it working?
ReplyDeleteYea, what Fox said.
ReplyDeleteNo way does Flash Forward last six years.
ReplyDeleteBut I will not be updating like I do on Lost. Maybe a post or two now and again. Not a weekly ritual.
Welcome back Ann-Mi,
ReplyDeleteFor Lost, I don't think it's possible for the producers to answer all the questions viewers have. (Unless they adopt my theory and go with it, Hint hint Lost producers) I believe they will answer the key questions, what is the island, where they are, and when are they, and if they really exist. But to close all avenues, not going to happen.
I was intrigued with the show as well. Liking it, well, it has possibilities. We shall see how they unfold the story line.
ReplyDeleteI bet it does!!! :D
ReplyDeleteflash forward definitly is inspired by lost. the intro is just the shows title with a mechanical type electronic sound, the opening scene of both series stars with one of the main character waking up in the middle of a crash/disaster and springing into action to try to save the day.(hero complex) flash forward emulates the way lost uses music compositons throughout the whole show, subtle unique sound for each. both is focused on if you can change the future or is it a fixed timeline.(fate vs. free will) and so much more. by the way doesnt the main character look like richard alpert is his brother?
ReplyDeleteGood observations NY Nick. I am going to speculate that new series in the future will be compared to the wildly successful ABC Lost much like sci-fi series are compared to the Twilight Zone.
ReplyDeleteclearly the sign!
ReplyDeleteOf things to come.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler Alert!!! Apparantly the whole time stopping thingo is just an atmospheric disturbance from an anomaly in space. Me mate has read the book and everytime he opens his mouth about i tell him to shut the F up.
ReplyDeleteNews update:
ReplyDeleteFlash Forward has been canceled due to low ratings. With the entire first season already filmed, and with only one more episode to air, Flash Forward will be an incomplete story line.
