FlashForward Spoilers – The Future Is Now

The blackout is over!  FlashForward returns tonight and we’ve got a few more pieces to add to our mosaic of spoilers.  And while we might be able to see what’s ahead for Agent Benford and the shadowy individuals at the heart of the vast global conspiracy, ABC has yet to reveal if the search for “Suspect Zero” will extend beyond a single season.  We have a feeling the network will put major weight on the numbers tonight’s two-hour return brings in.  With the addition of geek-bait James Callis to the cast and some heavy promotion on ABC’s part, there’s still a chance it won’t be lights out for the series come May.  In the meantime, here’s a glimpse into the immediate future of FlashForward.

Tonight’s two-parter is titled “Revelation Zero.”  It’ll be followed by “Blowback,” 3/25 and “Better Angels,” 4/1. (imdb)

Some details have surfaced on James Callis’ role.  According to Sonya Walger, Callis plays Gabriel McDow, a strange man who has intimate knowledge of Olivia’s future due to the fact that he’s had multiple flashforwards.  This leads Olivia to give more consideration to the possibility that what she saw in her flashforward might not have been the only possibile future.

Dominic Monaghan said in a recent interview that we’ll learn more about his “family background” when he volunteers his services as a “science consultant” for the FBI.  Gabrielle Union also elaborated on Zoey’s involvement with the investigation.  “My character is basically kicking butt and is bringing the rumble to the jungle to ABC when we come back. She’s incredibly proactive, she’s trying to save her man’s life and she’s not letting anything stand in the way.” (OntheRedCarpet)

3/2

Nobody knows who Callis will be playing, but the character
will be significant and will factor into the final episodes of the season.  “I don’t actually want to tell you
anything about the character, because he’s a really exciting, unusual character,
so I think it’s going to be fun for the audience. He’s going to be involved
with Olivia’s trajectory… some of Olivia’s journey.” Says new showrunner
Jessika Borsiczky.

In case you didn’t know, FlashForward is returning on March
18th with the two part episode “Revelation Zero,” a title that
smacks of ‘reboot’ – something FlashForward needs if it is going to reclaim its
former ratings glory.  The double shot
will be preceded by a catch up, so invite your uninitiated friends.  Oh, and in case your Thursdays are booked,
ABC will re-air the entire package on Saturday, March 20th. (ABC)

11/13

Ever since we got a look at the mysterious tower back in “Seukunden 137″, fans have been speculating about its importance and when we’ll see more of the young Somali boy who came upon it.  Goyer laid out his plans for the charactacter to MTV’s Movies Blog.  “We have already written that character as an adult. We’re hoping to
have a certain actor play him. We haven’t nailed it down yet, but we’re
crossing our fingers.”  When asked if the actor in question is The Wire’s Michael K. Williams, Goyer replied “Probably.”  More like “indeed!”

Bryce will be the focus of episode nine.  We’ll also be meeting “Keiko,” the Japanese woman who we assume is from his flash forward.  We’ll also be seeing more of Callum Keith Rennie’s character, Raynaud.  Goyer said he will “hopefully return ‘two
or three more times this season and potentially for the second season.’”  (MTV Movies Blog)

A bunch of castings calls have gone out for upcoming episodes.  In particular, producers are looking to fill the roles of several characters potentially connected to the Somali storyline, including a U.N ambassador to France, the leader of a group of Somali outlaws, a translator for a group and a Somali mother to an eleven-year old boy.  (Spoiler TV)

Christine Woods who plays FBI Agent Janis Hawk told TV Guide that she “may or may not” have scenes with Lloyd and Simon. “They’re the delicious
center of the cookie but you see a lot more of them coming up. [Fans
will] feel satisfied with how much you get to know them in the next few
episodes.” said Woods.  (TV Guide)

Episode 12 is titled “Kairos” and episode 13 is titled “Better Angels” (Spoiler TV)

10/30

On a side note, did anyone notice the Benford’s address is 256969 Sawyer Court?  A nice little shoutout to Robert J. Sawyer, the author of the book the series is loosely based on.  Here’s the spoilery data we’ve compiled so far…we’re still in the process of making note cards to put on our corkboard…

Not necessarily an outright spoiler but it will certainly affect the future of FlashForward – executive producer Marc Guggenheim (Eli Stone, Brothers & Sisters, Green Lantern screenwriter) has left the building, leaving David Goyer to run the show. (Sci Fi Wire)

Episode seven is titled “The Gift” and will be followed by “Playing Cards With Coyote” and “Believe.”  (imdb)

In the season’s eigth episode, “Playing Cards With Coyote,” Mark gets a lead on the tattooed assasssin from his flash forward, Aaron learns the truth about what happened to his daughter and Simon and Lloyd “settle a debate” via poker.  (Spoilers Guide)

We spoke with Sonya Walger (Oliva Benford) recently and she dropped a few hints on Olivia’s story arc.  Doesn’t look she’ll be taking to kindly to Mark’s future-boozing. (UGO)

Michael Aussielo reports that Paula Newsome of Heroes and more notably Women’s Murder Club will be joining the cast as a doctor in a number of episodes which will air in 2010.  Ausiello speculates that she may be the OB GYN who delivers Janis’ baby. (Ausiello Files)
