FLASH FORWARD : ‘WHITE TO PLAY” EPISODE 2

Ms. Wendy and I completed our fourth podcast for The Flash Forward Podcast Live.  We went over the second episode of the season, White To Play.  We believe this episode was  to be a part of the 2 hour premiere, but with Grey’s Anatomy doing a 2 hour premiere that same night, they split the two episodes up.   This could be why Dominic Monaghan wasn’t in the epsiode.  We were told at comic con he would be in the second episode.  So let’s hope he will make his debut next week. 

I liked the episode, but not as much as the premiere.  But I’m giving them a pass because they really do have to set up the season arch.  So we may get a lot of exposition as the season goes on.  It’s going to take some time for me to get settled on their style.  I’m just a bit thrown off at some of the humor and serious elements.  I guess I just have to get used to it.  I have a feeling this series will wind up like the show Fringe : Amazing premiere, next 5-8 epsiodes setting up the show then mid to the end of the season they will find their stride and the show will become amazing.  I have faith in Flash Forward.

Here is the screen caps for new parts of Olivia’s flash forward.  I had forgotten that we see Olivia and Lloyd in the same vision.   We are  to assume that’s Olivia on the bed, could it change?:

We normally record the podcast on talkshoe.  But with trying to keep our podcast to the 60 minute mark and to improve audio, we decided to record on gizmo then post on talkshoe to get to iTunes.  This week we had a bit of some audio issues.  A bit of echo and low level recording knocked our quality down this week.  Due to time constraints, we had to post this recording.  It’s not as bad as I thought but just want to apologize in advance if it caused any listening problems.  We are still working out all the kinks, as I promise that the recording quality will be much better for our next episode.

We appreciate all your support with getting this podcast off the ground.  I want to give special thanks to those who emailed in : Summertime,  Mike (NJ),  Scotty Six,  Anita,  Teresa,  Graft,  Tom in England,  Big Daddy Dez, Valerie Dean,  CutePoison10, Tom wilson and Anna in Indiana.  Our new email for the podcast is : FlashForwardLive@gmail.com  Also be sure to leave us twitter comments as we will read them on next weeks podcast : www.twitter.com/heathlrnow  and www.twitter.com/bunnieslrnow

Nest week, Friday October 9th, we will be recording our 5th podcast for FF episode 3 and after that on talkshoe at 930pm est, we will be recording a Lost Revisited Now Podcast : Bunny awards for Through the Looking Glass.  We will be joined by Nancy drew, Glen, and hopefully Alex.  Donald and Anna will join us after the awards to talk more about Lost in our expanded segment.  So sit back and enjoy.

Entertainment Weekly Readers get a sneak peek of ABC’s FlashForward

 

SOLO:  I am a frequent audience member at one of the best theaters in the greater Los Angeles Area, The Archlight in Hollywood.  They have assigned seating, a great gift shop, a bar with some great cocktails and appetizers.  The patrons that attend this theater are smart movie goers.  They are not obscene, they don’t take 5 minutes to open a candy wrapper, and are very aware of their surroundings.  There isn’t a bad seat in the house and the Archlight staff are A+ in my book.  There is also a great chance you will sit down and watch a film right next to a celebrity.  I’ve had the great luck to watch a film one seat away from actress Famke Janssen.  Wow, she looks so good in person.  It was at a screening of the Nicole Kidman film BIRTH.  The film wasn’t that great but having Famke one seat away was stellar.  I had to sneak a peek at her a few times but had to be covert as I was with my girlfriend at the time. 

My Dream Girl?????

All in All, the ARchlight is my all-time favorite theater.  And yes, their was a Flash Forward premiere there last night.  here is the article by The Eaminer LA writer Peter Gonzaga :

Last night at the Arclight Theaters in Hollywood, CA, a group of “Entertainment Weekly” readers had a chance to meet and watch a sneak peek episode of ABC’s new series “FlashForward.” Walking the impromptu press line included the stars of the show John Cho, Jack Davenport, Courtney Vance, Zach Knighton, Christine Woods, Peyton List, Dominic Monaghan and Brian O’Byrne. Unfortunately, Joseph Fiennes was a no show. 

      One photographer said that was one of the main reasons for her excitement of covering the special screening of “FlashForward.” I’m sure many fans were hoping to see Mr. Fiennes. 

      “FlashForward” is about the humans in the whole world blacked out at the same time. A worldwide phenomena of individuals experiencing the future. Each character has a story to tell.

Great Shot from EW's Fall preview issue...

     The stars of the show began trickling in the VIP lounge area around 6pm to enjoy some light hor ‘douvres and drinks from the bar. Dominic Monaghan laughed before entering the photo press line and quipped that he better put down his cocktail before taking his photos. He jokingly talked to the photographers saying that it’s the worst thing of  having a photo with a drink in your hand because if one ever has to go to rehab, that photo will be the one that runs. Not that Mr. Monaghan would need rehab.

     Interestingly when the stars of the show arrived, the men congregated together while the various women sat in separate areas of the lounge. As the night wore on before the screening, the ladies did warm up and began hanging out together. One might say that the cast is still building up camaraderie.

“FlashForward” premieres Thursday, September 24, 2009 on ABC. 

The Flash Forward Podcast LIVE with Heath and Ms. Wendy episode 2 will go live on Talkshoe 9pm est September 25, 2009.

DOM : CONFIRMED ON FLASH FORWARD

Comic Con, July 24, 2009-The worst kept secret has been verified during “Flash Forward” panel at San Diego Comic Con this year. Instead of reviving his Charlie Pace character on “Lost“, Dominic Monaghan was on the ABC promo as a new character on “Flash Forward”. His role, however, was neither specified nor will it appear on the two-hour pilot this Fall.

“Is Dominic Monaghan going to be on the show?” was in fact the first question thrown at the panel. Co-creator David S. Goyer refused to answer the question, saying “We’re not going to tell you”. Nonetheless, they ran a series of clips from the show toward the end of the presentation, which eventually show Monaghan in the last one. It was then that Goyer formally confirmed that “the bassist from Driveshaft” is in the show.

Goyer was careful not to spill too much on Monaghan’s character, only mentioning that the name is Simon, and that “he’s kinda a game-changer character who f***s up a lot of things.”

“Flash Forward” will premiere on September 24 at 8/7c. It tells about a phenomenon where everyone in the world passes out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and has a vision of the future. But it centers on newly sober Mark Banford (Joseph Fiennes), an FBI agent who is patching up his life and marriage.

Although it bears Monaghan and similar sci-fi qualities, Goyer emphasizes that “Flash” is none like “Lost”. He explained, “Nothing is ever going to be the new ‘Lost’,” adding ” ‘Lost’ is this genre-breaking show that was its own thing, unique and daring and challenging. I thought, if they’re courageous enough to put that on the air, they’ll be courageous enough to put (‘Flash’) on the air.”

HEATH SOLO : What normally happens with TV shows.  The pilot is filmed.  If the network likes it, they will give the green light : a 6 or 13 episode order.  Then once it airs, if the ratings keep up with their standards, they will usually order a full season.    Usually after the pilot is filmed and audience tested, they decide if they need to replace actors or maybe hire some new ones.  As what happened in Flash Forward, Dominic Monaghan wasn’t in the pilot but the network decided to cast him afterwards.  Thus creating buzz with the hopes Charlie Pace fans will watch and watch.  Very smart move by ABC.  I’ll watch……and watch…..
