This week on Flash Forward the creepy factor went up and the suspense factor went down.

Not too much in the way of action, but the death of hundreds of crows all over the world at the same time (which has apparently happened in the past) was enough to suggest that the flash forwards could be less of something man made, like nuclear war, and more of something along the lines of the apocalypse, like the 2012 theories or the passages from Revelations in the bible.

For the first time, we got to meet Demitris (John Cho) fiancé, Zoey (Gabrielle Union) and by the end of the episode we saw Demitri decide to make her flash forward come true by agreeing to marry her in April, just like she saw in her flash forward. He made one flash forward come true, and proved another wrong - that of Aaron Stark (Brian F. O'Byrne), who envisioned his dead daughter alive and well. He proved it wrong by allowing him to dig up her bones and see if they actually belonged to her.

Well, they did.

Zoey claims to see Demitri in her flash forward, but they dont actually show him in the vision. Weird? Maybe shes just saying that because she assumes hes the groom, and she wants him to be there, not because she actually sees him. So, he could be dead next April, just like the creepy woman on the phone prophesized.

We also met Schultz (Guido Foehrweisser) the former Nazi, who is currently in a German prison that Mark (Joseph Fiennes) sees in his flash forward on the wall of clues. He claims to know something about the fact that the blackouts were 137 seconds, but its nothing conclusive yet ... just the fact that it has to do with Kabbalah, a sect of Jewish mysticism.

He also tells Mark that he saw dead crows in the courtyard of the prison after his flash forward, which forces Mark to give him his freedom. This is seemingly pointless, until the end of the episode when we see that this has happened before, in Somalia in 1991. More questions arise...what's the looming tower? And did more blackouts come with the dead crows?

What Worked

Gina Torres. Its nice to see you back in science-fiction, Gina, its been way too long.

This could really go in either section, what worked or what didnt work, but the dancing man in his underpants was a great scene. I think its nice to have some humor in a show that is dealing with such a heavy and dramatic plot, so this scene was refreshing. It made me laugh!

I could also see why some may want this in the other category though. For those who dont want to see fat man dancing in their underwear, unless their watching Family Guy, you can put this in the other category.

What Didnt Work

What kind of fiancée takes his soon-to-be wife to a hotel when theyve suffered near death experiences? Not the classy kind, thats for sure.

On the other hand, if this is the only thing that didn't work, then the show's still doing a pretty good job.
