"FlashForward" predicts a lesbian kiss

I had no high expectations for the show, after the epic fail that Heroes became, I was suspicious of this kind of "worldwide phenomenon + tuns of characters" show, and watched the premiere with curiosity, having avoided spoilers and everything on the web.

I absolutely LOVED it, I thought it was a brilliant idea and can't wait to see how they will develop the storyline, so many possibilities, and such a great cast :D Adding some lesbionic element to the plot might be the cherry on the top :D And I also looooved the apocalyptic scenes, very awesome indeed!

One show I'll definitely follow this year!

As the flash was 6 months in the future, and future her looked close to 6 months pregnant....she better get pregnant soon. She also appears to think she's straight as of the premiere. I know lesbians move fast, but if she is having a baby with the woman she's kissing, she is going to have to decide she's gay/bi, fall in love with a woman, and decide to have a baby all in like...2 months max.

Although, it just occured to me that half the point of the show is how they alter their actions based on what they saw. So maybe she'll act to get pregnant because she knows she 'is' pregnant in the flash. Hmm. That could make it at least more understandable.

I watched this on Hulu while desperately procrastinating and wasn't hugely impressed. I don't like the lead actor--he makes me feel like I'm watching a Nicholas Cage movie--or his soapy plotline with his wife, and some of the dialogue is laugh-out-loud bad. On the other hand, John Cho has charisma to burn and it's very suspenseful. The hook at the end of the first episode was excellent. I agree that the investigation plot is much more interesting than the romantic drama.

And making Janis bi or lesbian (why assume she's a lesbian, when now she seems to think she's straight?) does appeal to me. I don't like the idea of a coming-out-then-pregnant storyline, though, especially since, as BAS says, it would have to happen awfully fast. (And in the flash-forward she seemed really unhappy, maybe about the pregnancy. Please no more cheating-on-a-woman-with-a-man.)

Also, I'm worried about how much time Janis will get at all. In the first episode I think she got even less screen time than the babysitter.

Has anyone read the book? Was Janis involved with a woman there? 

...and Charlie - those two together in one series, it's priceless, I mean "Not Penny's Boat!".

;)

I'm actually  considering watching this...

I LOVED the show! I truly hope the TV execs give this a chance to flourish (unlike what they did and should have done for NBC's Journeyman).

Although I did not see Sonya Walger in any of the shows you mentioned, I DID first see her on The Mind of the Married Man on HBO. I thought she was great.

And there's a typo in the last sentence of the paragraph right under Sonya's picture: the date should read 'April 29, 2010' not 'April 29, 2101.'

I'm pretty sure NONE of the characters will be alive on that date, lol!

I saw the first episode and loved it and wow a lesbian storyline? hahha I guess all the more reason to continue watching it

Don't argue with my superior wisdom, okay? -Dana Fairbanks <3

Watching this live I thought I caught a glimpse of two women kissing and assumed it was Janis, but hadn't dvr'd it and couldn't rewind so I wasn't sure. Good to know I didn't dream it. :)

And why are we assuming she thinks she's straight? Maybe she's not out at work? She could be saying "I don't even have a boyfriend." While then thinking 'Not likely to have one either!'

I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt that this isn't some random character development until proven otherwise. We'll see how it goes with the episode this week. I may be back next week with a different story. :)

Yep--glad someone else noticed that particular flashforward.

I was surprised how much I actually liked the show--but my expectations were low to begin with.

However, if it gets stinko  I hope the producers don't think the promised liplock, which is probably a lesbianish canard, is going to keep me tuned in--little tired of that play.

lol

So I was watching the third episode last night and Janis totally got outed by the evil old nazi!  She was wearing a ring on her left thumb and he brought up how it was a symbol in some european countries that you are a homosexual.  I was cracking up because it looked like she wanted to strangle him. Unfortunately, it was not brought up again in this episode.

Sweet

Yeap, there it goes...

So I've been watching it from the beginning (LOVE IT) and my gaydar pinged with her. 1 reason she might not be pregnant is because shes thinking, err hello I'm gay so it aint gonna be an accident it has to be planned, and she pointed it she didnt know if she wanted kids, well if you're straight you dont need to want them, accidents happen!

 also the german nazi man pointed it out, nice little heads up for us lady lovers if you ask me. Another thing, I cant remember exactly (and sod sitting through the whole thing just to check) but I dont remember her saying shes got no boyfriend, i remember her saying shes not seeing anyone sowhy do we automatically go to straight just because shes not said shes gay yet.... some people above have said she'd have to come out then get pregnant, why cant she already be out and we just not know it yet? 

I didnt even know about the kiss, thats exciting though, heres to hoping shes a good one!!

Lets get one thing straight.... I'm not.
