History Series / FlashForward2009

* TheCastShowoff: The brief moment of karaoke in one episode seemed one part RuleOfFunny, one part a brief showcasing of John Cho's singing ability.

** Also, [[spoiler:Dyson Frost's white queen, which contains the ring he used to stay awake during the blackout.]]

%%** "The Gift."
** About half the episodes qualify, to one degree or another. "A561984" is probably the biggest one yet, even more so than "The Gift". Just about every point of the meeting with [[spoiler: the woman in Hong Kong]] is its own mini-wham, and then you have [[spoiler: Simon working with the Good Guys]] and the things he reveals, plus what happens to Lloyd (and his son and Olivia!) at the end.

** Triple subversion, actually. Sure, [[spoiler:Al's death]] proved this theory, but with the exception of [[spoiler:Dyson Frost and (maybe) Mark Benford]], all the main characters have PlotArmor thicker than a brick wall.
* ArcWords: Mark's whole RoomFullOfCrazy.
** [[spoiler: Frost's whole warehouse wall full of batshit crazy.]]
* ArcNumber: 12/12/2016.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Lloyd]] doesn't start out this way, but [[CharacterDevelopment becomes one as the series goes on.]]
** The same goes for [[spoiler:Dyson Frost]]. It even results in [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath his death]]]].

* BerserkButton: Agent Noh and Olivia Benford do NOT care or want to hear what your flashforward was about, because [[spoiler: neither of them want theirs to happen.]]

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: [[spoiler: Alas, poor Al Gough.]]

** And don't forget her mother's tantrum over Keiko's refusal to deal with an arranged marriage or put up with being turned into a waitress by her employer.
** Also, upon arriving in the US to start her new life, she gets employed at a car workshop, only to be [[spoiler: busted by the ISA on her second day at work.]]

** Might have been completely subverted now that [[spoiler: she [[strike:might be]] is pregnant with Agent Noh's child]]

* ChekhovsGun: Flosso's [[JustForPun killer]] emphysema.

* TheChessmaster: Played with (briefly) then subverted at the end of the 2 hour recommencement special. In one of the scenes with [[spoiler:Simon's 'Uncle']], the quick can notice a chessboard on a computer screen being panned off-screen. He later [[spoiler: ends up dead after admitting to being only the middleman, not quite the guy in control after all.]]

** Ultimately justified in that [[spoiler: the entire building has been evacuated due to a bomb inside of it, set to go off immediately after the flash forwards were going to happen]]. It's never fully explained how no one else realized this would happen, though, given the number of extras who must have had flash forwards about it.
* CreepyChild:
** Charlie, in some ways.
** Most of her classmates veer into this when they're playing "Blackout".
** So does Dylan.

* DeathTrap: [[spoiler: Dyson Frost puts Demetri into one.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Dyson Frost]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: You know that second blackout everyone spent 22 episodes trying to prevent? Happens anyway.]]
** [[spoiler: Wasn't completely a downer though, as they did manage to save millions by getting the warning out before it happened.]]
** It was intended to be just the ''season'' finale, with [[spoiler: the second blackout and the tantalizing glimpses of both the blackout itself and several flash forwards]] setting the stage for the second season. Which, as we now know, ain't gonna happen.

* DrivenToSuicide: "Dear Celia..." Goodbye, [[spoiler:Al Gough]].

** Wedeck seems to believe in it, when he demands a few blurry pixels be enhanced into an identifiable ring. That had better not work.
*** It did work and they spent quite a while trying to justify why the tiny ring could be enhanced when the face could not. It's still unbelievable.
** Simon Campos got a ShirtlessScene too. With a fedora.
* EvilBrit: [[spoiler:Simon seemed to be this initially as he claims responsibility for the Blackout, but then in "A561984" he starts co-operating with the FBI, and his claim is thrown in doubt when he reveals he had no knowledge of the pylons in Somalia. Now possibly double subverted when we've seen that he was (albeit unhappily) working with the people responsible for the blackout as TheMole.]]
** There's also [[spoiler:Lucas Hellinger, the show's apparent BigBad.]]

** Subverted when it turns out that the murder of crows is indeed a clue that points to the possibility that [[spoiler:a mass blackout has occurred before.]]
** [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain "Oh, we've had training."]]
* FanService: [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Janice and Maya making out]] in "Gimme Some Truth".

* FlatEarthAtheist / SkepticismFailure : Several people are shown to be skeptical of the flash forward despite ''overwhelming evidence'' to the contrary, calling them meaningless "visions" and getting angry at people who are considering the visions as true ''just in case'' because they could possibly ''save lives''. Explained in that these characters were shown to have ''really awful futures'' they don't want to be true.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Invoked by [[spoiler: Dyson Frost]] after Demetri tells him "YoureInsane."
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Flosso [[CardCarryingVillain intentionally invokes this.]]
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler:Simon]].

* IdiotBall: Come on, Mark, you don't recognize a unit tattoo when you see one?
** Then we have anyone who thinks Tracey is dead.
*** Speaking of Tracey, it takes an idiot ball of exceptional size to tell someone that your daughter, who is thought by most to be dead and is in fact hiding from badass army types, IS STAYING AT YOUR HOUSE.

* InMediasRes
* InsufferableGenius: Simon
* IKnewIt: A rare InUniverse example. A member of the CIA in "Gimme Some Truth" has a theory that China is behind the blackouts with an incredibly shaky basis, which both the Mosaic team and the U.S. Senate dismiss outright. At the end of the episode, however, [[spoiler: the Mosaic team is attacked by a group of Chinese gunmen, seemingly proving the agent's theory correct.]]
** [[spoiler: They *are* hired hitmen, but they're actually taking orders from somebody else entirely.]]

* ItMeantSomethingToMe: Poor Demetri...
* IronicEcho / PreMortemOneLiner: Mark in the finale. "What did [[{{Mooks}} you]] see?" * BLAM*

* KudzuPlot

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Switch "characters" with "factions" and you got it. There is the FBI, the Blue Hand, the men with the three stars tattooed on them, the man who acquired [[spoiler: seven rings]] from them and promptly killed one of them, Simon and Lloyd who are part of a larger group, [[spoiler: the Jericho Private Military Contractors]] and, judging from the woman from Hong-Kong who [[spoiler: phoned Demetri]], the Chinese. [[MindScrew All these groups may or may not be connected]].
** There ''are'' quite a lot of characters too.

* MessianicArchetype: Simon accuses Lloyd of trying to be one.

** The ending, thanks to its cancellation.
* MisplacedWildlife: The {{kangaroo|sRepresentAustralia}}, though it's probably intended to appear as a zoo escapee.
** An escapee of ''the'' most incompetent zoo in the world, apparently, as it's ''still'' running around in "Scary Monsters and Super Creeps".
*** Well, the LA Zoo is currently defending themselves from a lawsuit alleging they abuse their animals, so...
* MissedHimByThatMuch: RunningGag to Bryce and Keiko.
** An incredibly sad running gag.
* TheMole: The audience is led to believe this is someone who [[RememberTheNewGuy was apparently working with Mosaic all this time but was never given so much as a name before this.]] [[spoiler: Subverted. [[TheReveal The mole is Janis Hawk.]]]]
** [[spoiler:Double subverted in that Janis is actually [[TheInfiltration working for the CIA to spy on her unknown employers]].]]
** [[spoiler:Simon]] could also be called this. As could [[spoiler:Mike, who was spying on Aaron on behalf of the Jericho PMC]].

** Nice job [[spoiler:killing the man who would eventually lead war-torn Somalia to peace, Vogel]].
*** [[spoiler:Vogel is CIA. It could be taken that once he learned Abdi was going to be a peacemaker, he began looking for an opportunity to kill him. Cause', you know, [[StrawmanPolitical that's what the CIA does.]]]]
--->'''???''': ''[[ArcWords What did you see]], Vogel?''\\
'''Flashforward''': ''[[spoiler:Mark Benford is dead.]]''\\
'''Vogel''': ''I was doing my job.''
* NietzscheWannabe: Dr. Raynaud, the highest ranking Blue Hand we've met so far.
** Possibly lampshaded by Mark when he asks Raynaud what made him turn from an ordinary nice guy into Friedrich Nietzsche.

* NoughtiesDramaSeries
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Nicole's knowledge of Japanese language and culture.
** Or it could be YouDidntAsk.
** Various characters seem to remember New Flash Forwards As The Plot Demands, or at least new parts of the one they had, on a regular basis.

** Actually, it could be argued that even 20 million is a rather '''low''' number of casualties considering the event...,
*** Well, the number of injuries are presumably much higher. People can survive some pretty brutal things. And China is mentioned to have suffered little damage due to it being past midnight there. Presumably same goes for India, sparing the two most populous countries the worst of the catastrophe. It is a strech but it is possible to have [[AMillionIsAStatistic ''just'' 20 million dead]].
** Played straight at other times, though because it is firmly established that the entire LA area was one big traffic accident because of the flash forward. ''Every car on the road'' was in a fender bender at the least. However all the cars you see in the series are all pristine - there should have been plenty of cars with dents, scrapes and scratches (the body shop Keiko works in six months after the event should have been still cleaning up by doing body work!). And the long shots of streets and freeways - everything looks fine - no dented light poles, etc that weren't damaged enough to be replaced.

* OfficeLady: Keiko.
* OhCrap: When Demetri's fiancee realizes [[spoiler: that what she saw wasn't a wedding, it was a funeral.]]
** "Hello, Demetri. My name is [[spoiler: Dyson Frost. I'm recording this in 1991. Got your attention, didn't I?"]]

** Don't forget he's also President[[spoiler: Playboy. It's how he gets blackmailed by Wedeck into keeping Mosaic open.]]
* PapaWolf: Aaron Stark.

* TheRainman: Gabriel [=McDow=]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Dyson Frost]] was trying to redeem himself, but he got shot by a sniper working for the BigBad [[HeKnowsTooMuch before he could tell Mark what he needed to know]].
** [[spoiler: Al Gough qualifies as well. He killed himself so that he wouldn't inadvertently kill a woman he didn't even know.]]
*** [[spoiler: Who then gets killed anyways.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Simon]] is Suspect Zero.

*** [[spoiler: The twist is that so is Agent Janis Hawk.]]
**** [[spoiler: A double twist is that Hawk is actually working for the CIA as a mole in the organisation of whomever wants her as a mole in the FBI.]]

* RoomFullOfCrazy: Mark Bedford has one.

** And it continues through the subsequent episodes. The earlier episodes had establishing episodes of damaged skyscrapers and burnt buildings. The number of these slowly reduced as episodes progressed and they were repaired but every now and then, there are still damaged buildings visible even in the most insignificant of background shots.
* ScrewDestiny: What Mark's trying to do by [[spoiler:burning the friendship bracelet]].

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Who doesn't already believe that Mark and Olivia's marriage is going to fail? They seem to have grown distant already just at the thought that she will cheat on him. [[spoiler:Even more so now that he knows she's met the man in her vision and she knows he was drinking in his FlashForward.]]

** Demetri would do well to learn that [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.]]
*** For that matter, so would [[spoiler: Dyson Frost]].

* ShoutOut: D. Gibbons could be a shout-out to [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} Dave Gibbons]]. There was also a poster advertisement in the first episode for [[Series/{{Lost}} Oceanic Airlines]].

*** The chalkboard itself could be a reference to Rip Hunter's in ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo''.

* SmugSnake: Heroic variant in Marshall Vogel of the CIA. Most infuriatingly, he's most often right.
** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in "Queen Sacrifice" where Mark, Demetri and Janis all tell him to **** himself at different times whenever he suggests one of them could be [[spoiler: TheMole. Turns out he was right about Janis, too]].
*** [[spoiler: Of course he was. SmugSnake that he is, he was the one who recruited her to be TheInfiltration in the first place.]]

* SoundtrackDissonance: A massive shootout (and [[spoiler:Janis bleeding out]]) all to the tune of "Like A Rolling Stone" by The Rolling Stones. How does it feel?!

** Also, the Nazi war criminal from "137 Sekunden", who would never have [[spoiler: been released]] if he hadn't seen that happening in his blackout.
*** However, it looks like this is about to be shaken up, now that [[spoiler: Al Gough killed himself because of what he saw in his flashforward, where he was very much alive.]]

* StringTheory: Mark's Blackout wall.
* TenLittleMurderVictims: In "Queen Sacrifice".

** Except Bryce, he says, "so you're really here" to Keiko, referencing that this is the moment he saw.

** Now the Japanese girl in Bryce's vision, Keiko, seems to be getting a bigger role.

** Also, to many, Mark Benford. In the first block of episodes, it wouldn't be a stretch to say he was in the running for most hated character. After the hiatus, he has become much more level-headed, proactive, decisive and mature about his responsibilities.
* UnfortunateName: Flosso? ''Really''?
* ViewerFriendlyInterface: All the time.
* WhamEpisode: "The Gift."

*** [[spoiler: And then all of that gets totally reversed [[strike: soon]] immediately after. Except for Demetri.]]
* WhamLine: "Message received." [[spoiler:Spoken by Janis, revealing that she's a second mole in the FBI.]]

** Or get his impeachment. We saw her flashforward, it was a little unclear. What more interesting - what about Arabian boy who was seen by Wedeck's wife? Did writers forget about him or something?

** [[DesignatedHero He seems to attract a lot of this..]]
** And now Aaron, Mark's AA sponsor, has given him the same treatment.

* WrenchWench: Keiko

** [[spoiler:Slightly subverted in that they managed to save millions of lives by getting the last-minute warning out.]]

** Special Agent [[spoiler:[[strike:Jett Jackson]] Al Gough]] just proved you can fight it and ScrewDestiny [[spoiler:by killing himself, even though he had a vision of himself six months in the future after he had accidentally killed a young mother]].
*** However, [[spoiler: in episode 19 she [[strike:dies]] suffers massive injuries in a freak car accident. Chance? No: The universe correcting itself. It is implied that the she will still die on April 29 and the events of Al's flashforward will happen to someone else.]]
*** On the ''other'' hand, [[spoiler: Demetri survived]] so you ''can'' fight fate, but have to overcome a sort of historical "inertia" to do so.
* YouKilledMyFather, PrepareToDie: [[spoiler: Simon does this, twice.]]

** "Revelation Zero, Part 1" has mention of a Detective [[RobLiefeld Liefeld.]]

* GenreSavvy: ''Dylan'', of all people, as he seems to be the ''only'' one who thought of leaving messages to his past self in his flashforward.

* HostageSituation: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] [[spoiler:Flosso kidnaps Simon's teenage sister to use as a bargaining chip to control Simon. [[GenreSavvy Simon decides to just kill Flosso and then hunt down his sister.]]]]

Character sheet can be seen [[Characters/FlashForward2009 here]].

The series built a nice MythArc with a great HolyShitQuotient. Based on the 1999 [[TheFilmOfTheBook sci-fi novel]] by Canadian author Creator/RobertJSawyer (who gets a blink-and-you-miss-it CreatorCameo in the pilot), though it shared little with the book other than the flashforward concept and a character name or two. This show is not to be confused with ''Series/FlashForward'', which is totally (and tonally) different.

** There's also a character called [[DoctorFate Kent Nelson]] on the show.

->''He who foresees calamity is doomed to suffer it twice over.''

** Mark again by [[spoiler:getting himself fired]] in episode 10. Considering what he did [[spoiler:(went to China against his boss's orders, then kidnapped a woman at gunpoint and got arrested and deported by Chinese authorities)]], it's not likely he'll get his job back in the next few months.
*** Oh, Nevermind.

* BlackBraAndPanties: Mark buys this as a gift for Olivia. [[spoiler: She throws them away, since [[ScrewDestiny she had been wearing them in her flash forward]].]]

* BlueOniRedOni: Mark and Demetri, respectively.

* IronicEcho / PreMortemOneLiner: Mark in the finale. "What did [[{{Mook}} you]] see?" * BLAM*

* MisplacedWildlife: The [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia kangaroo]], though it's probably intended to appear as a zoo escapee.

** Nice job [[spoiler:killing the man who would eventually lead war-torn Somalia to peace, Vogel.]]

'''Vogel''': ''I was [[strike:[[ShootTheDog Shooting The Dog]]]] doing my job.''

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Dyson Frost]] was trying to redeem himself, but he got shot by a sniper working for the BigBad [[HeKnowsTooMuch before he could tell Mark what he needed to know.]]

* RedHerring: Brilliantly [[DoubleSubversion double subverted]] in "Queen Sacrifice."
* RedshirtArmy: The Red Panda escorts. They even lampshade it, when the Somali warlord explains that the purpose of the Red Panda guys ''was'' to die in order to intimidate the hostages.

* SenselessSacrifice: Most likely [[spoiler:Al Gough's. He kills himself in order to save a woman he would inevitably kill by accident if he had stayed alive. But several episodes after his death, she gets hit by a car, and the doctors say her chances of living are slim. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse We never did find out if she lived or died]], but she most likely succumbed to the wounds.]]

** Some of the items on Dyson Frost's [[RoomFullOfCrazy Chalkboard Full Of Crazy]] are [[UrsulaKLeGuin "Ansible Theory",]] [[DivineComedy "Maestro Di Color",]] and [[TheSarahConnorChronicles "Strange Things Happen At The One Two Point".]]

** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Queen Sacrifice" where Mark, Demetri and Janis all tell him to **** himself at different times whenever he suggests one of them could be [[spoiler: TheMole . Turns out he was right about Janis, too.]]

* SorryILeftTheBGMOn: A trumpet player in the foot chase scene in "Black Swan".

The series built a nice MythArc with a great {{HSQ}}. Based on the 1999 [[TheFilmOfTheBook sci-fi novel]] by Canadian author Creator/RobertJSawyer (who gets a blink-and-you-miss-it CreatorCameo in the pilot), though it shared little with the book other than the flashforward concept and a character name or two. This show is not to be confused with ''Series/FlashForward'', which is totally (and tonally) different.

* AnyoneCanDie: Double subverted. At first, the fact that most characters have visions of themselves in the future seems to show that none of those characters are going to die before April 29. But after the [[spoiler:Self inflicted death of Al Gough, it is now believed that the future can be changed and that anyone without a flash forward can still live, and likewise, any with a flash forward can still die]].

* BlackBraAndPanties: Mark buys this as a gift for Olivia. [[spoiler: She throws them away, since [[ScrewDestiny she had been wearing them in her flash forward.]]]]

* BriefAccentImitation: Mark Benford's laughingly over-the-top English accent while playing with the egg in the kitchen with Charlie (don't forget that Joseph Fiennes who plays Benford actually is English, see FakeAmerican below).

* ChekhovsGun: Flosso's [[IncrediblyLamePun killer]] emphysema.

** Simon Campos got a ShirtlessScene too. With a [[FetishFuel fedora.]]

** [[spoiler: They seem to be dressed and acted more like gangbangers than professional hitmen, even the way they held the guns. More likely they were hired by Monaghan and Davenport to cover up the ones who are getting close.]]
*** [[spoiler: And yet the autopsy of the few of them the Mosaic team manage to kill suggests that these men are trained professionals.]]

* BrickJoke: When Mark is taking Charlie trick-or-treating, they see a wild kangaroo show up from nowhere and then disappear. In the finale, [[spoiler:shortly after the blackout]], the kangaroo shows up again...from nowhere...[[BigLippedAlligatorMoment and then disappears]].

* ActorAllusion: In episode four, Olivia calls Mark "The Creator/WilliamShakespeare of children's stories," which is probably a reference to Joseph Fiennes's role in ShakespeareInLove.
** In the previous episode, Demetri accidentally knocks over a bong at a suspect's house, and says, "It's OK, I know what a bong is", in reference to Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle.

* FakeAmerican: Definitely a few of them.
** English Joseph Feinnes as Mark Benford
** English Sonya Walger as Olivia Benford
** Irish Brían O'Byrne as Aaron Stark
*** O'Byrne is [[OohMeAccentsSlipping a particularly egregious example]].

* HeyItsThatPlace: The [[Film/BladeRunner Bradbury]] [[Music/{{Genesis}} Building]].

* TheOtherDarrin: Dylan Simcoe was recast in the middle of filming the pilot. Some scenes feature Dylan #1 and some Dylan #2; one of them took over for the series proper.

* RealLifeRelative: An interesting case in that Alex Kingston used to be Joseph Fiennes' sister-in-law (she was formerly married to one of his older brothers, Ralph).
** And John Cho's wife Kerri guest-starred in "Queen Sacrifice".

* ActionGirl: Janis Hawk, who knows tae kwando and manages to [[spoiler:shoot an assassin dead even while bleeding from a gut wound]] in "Gimme Some Truth."

** [[spoiler: D. Gibbons/Dyson Frost "talks" to Demitri from a video recorded decades in the past.]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS3E10Blink Sound familiar?]]

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: John Cho and Jack Davenport have both gotten [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]]. Joseph Fiennes is all broody and not bad on the eyes either.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Hey guys, remember Marci? [[spoiler: You know, the mole?]]

** [[spoiler: Marcy is a mole.]]

* MagicalDatabase: Well, the FBI are trying to create one with the Mosaic website, which tracks people's visions and cross-references them.

** [[spoiler: And it's ''still'' running around in the series finale! [[FridgeLogic How the hell did no-one do anything about that kangaroo in six months?]]]]
*** Well, during Hurricane Andrew, much of Miami Metro Zoo was destroyed and lots of animals escaped. Some, including a ''giraffe'' were never recovered. Dead or alive. If you can lose something as big and prominent as a giraffe, a kangaroo is child's play.

* WhamEpisode: "The Gift." If you don't cry at the end... you probably left your soul at a bus stop somewhere.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic - The New York Times review of the pilot included a list of historical events tied to the flash forward date of April 29, 2010, and suggesting speculation over the date's significance would be more fuel for EpilepticTrees. In actuality, it's just the 50th birthday of Robert J. Sawyer, author of the ''Flash Forward'' novel, which coincidentally falls close to the airing of the first season finale.
** [[spoiler: December 12, 2016- The End. ]] [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} Hurm...]]

This show is not to be confused with ''Series/FlashForward'', which is totally (and tonally) different.

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: The President, as played by [[{{The4400}} PeterCoyote]], is halfway between President Personable and President Jerkass.

* ADayInTheLimelight: "Believe," which focuses solely on Bryce Varley and his [[MeLoveYouLongTime Asian girlfriend Keiko]] in their quest to find each other.

* MeLoveYouLongTime: Bryce and Keiko (seeing as she is repelled by her Japanese suitors and prefers him).
** And inverted with Demetri and Zoey.

* IronicNurseryTune: The second episode opens with "Ring Around the Rosie" and images of children lying completely still on the ground. Later on, the fake D. Gibbons has dolls which also sing the song. [[NightmareFuel It's creepy.]]

Despite having a strong start, ratings progressively dwindled throughout its run until it ended up with about a third of its original viewers, [[CutShort and it never made it to a second season]], leaving fans pondering the season-ending CliffHanger. [[http://www.digitalspy.com/ustv/s56/flashforward/news/a236830/flashforward-is-most-missed-axed-show.html Zap2It declared [=FlashForward=] the most missed show]] after a poll determined that 46.3% of voters would miss it the most (by comparison, the runner-up, ''GhostWhisperer'', had 17.1% of the vote), and there were rumours that Starz might pick the show up for a second season, but it appears this has come to naught.
