FLASH FORWARD SPOILERS FROM COMICON

[lulubellnyc]

It doesn't look like Jack was there. This is from an interview of Joe Fiennes and the producers.



JOSEPH FIENNES (Mark Benford)

Rumor is that after the series catches up to the first flash
forward on April 29, 2010, there will then be subsequent flash forward into the future to keep the premise going.
Yeah, but maybe I shouldn't be giving that away. But it will
occur again. I think at the end of each season, all the characters will get another flash forward to deepen their storylines.

The actress who plays your wife, Sonya Walger, (Lost's Penelope), just got married in real life. What was her wedding gift?
Her gift was working very late on set the night before. That's
all we offered her.

Your character is a police detective, and the flash forward shows
glimpses of a crime board with photos, clippings and scribblings of clues. How much do you know about what's up there?
Everything is a clue to how it happened. I know the stories behind about twenty percent of what's up there. Everything on that board will lead us to who's behind this.

Which images have jumped out to you?
There's some beautiful images of a black swan, which is very
startling. There's a curious man with a widow's peek and very thick glasses and a very intense look. There's some beautiful paintings of serpents and weird-headed animals. It's going to get quite surreal.

What's your theory behind what caused the flash forward?
My theory changes by the minute. I don't know if it's sort of
a tectonic globalvshift, but I have come to the conclusion that there are people behind it.

Have you ever had a deja vu moment in your own life?
Constantly, but I read a paper in a science journal that completely debunked the idea of deja vu. Actually, it's a little glitch in your brain. It's already taken place but somehow you get a cross wire and it makes you feel like you've seen something way in the future.

Well maybe that's the secret behind the series.
(laughs) Maybe.


EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DAVID GOYER

Dominic Monaghan is saying we have to wait until episode six or seven to see him.
Maybe not. He may appear in the show before people realize he's
in the show. We cast him before we shot the pilot.

What can you tell us about Dom's character?
Simon is a genius, He went to college when he was 14 years old.
He's a very conflicted character. He's very much the opposite of Charlie on Lost. People are going to see a different side of Dominic Monaghan, which is something he was pretty excited
about. Charlie was a boy, Dominic plays a man in this show.

Was that something he specifically wanted?
Yes. And it's what we wanted as well.

Does Simon have a last name and a wife and kids?
Those are plot points I can't reveal. There are many mysteries
surrounding his character.

Joseph Fiennes told us that after the series reaches the first flash
forward on April 29, there will be another flash forward.
Well, what I'll say is the cast doesn't know much about where
we're going and we've also deliberately leaked some misleads.

Everyone seems focused on the kangaroo seen hoping around the streets of downtown L.A. after the incident occurs. I assumed he'd just escaped down the hill from the L.A. zoo. Is there more to this creature?
That could be a possibility, but I will say the kangaroo will be
back. The kangaroo has a story.


EXECUTIVE PRODUCER MARC GUGGENHEIM

Any new character's coming on board?
We will meet Dimitri's (John Cho) fiance, Zoey—the one
he talks about in the pilot. We're going to meet her in episode three. She's an attorney. [Editor's note: The character will be played by Gabrielle Union.]

Can a wedding happen in light of the incident?
They've been talking about their engagement since before
the blackout. We will deal with this issue head-on directly in episode three when me meet Zoey and see her flash forward.

An other new characters?
We know who is going to play Mark's (Joseph Fiennes)
mother. It's an actress we've already reached out to who is interested in doing it. If you look carefully in the Benford house you'll see pictures of her. She's already in the set dressing.

Did you see this article? It's full of spoilers and has just one little mention of Jack, but it does have a tiny glimpse at his role in the pilot, and also mentions that Lloyd Simcoe is 'dashing'. Well, duh. :-)

Thanks for that. I'm still wondering why Jack's character doesn't have a bio on the ABC,com website. I guess they're keeping his character a secret for now. At least we know he gets some screen time. ;).

I have great hopes for this show and more Jack.

Dominic Monaghan mentions the scene as well, in this interview. I don't think I'm very eager to see Jack being roughed up by Fiennes. Bah.

[lulubellnyc.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that. If they follow the book at all Lloyd is a physicist that works for the CERN Large Hadron Collider, so Simon could be Theo who works with LLoyd or maybe he's one of the people that doesn't go through the flash forward and recruits Lloyd to work with them. The book is amazing, I just don't think that they are using much of the plot or characters, just the general idea.

Besides Jack could so take Joe Fiennes.

Judging from the trailer it looks like he's the future husband of Joseph Fiennes wife? At least that's what it looks like to me (or her in her flash forward) and because she's extremely confused about this fact... I'm not surprised they don't talk much about him already.

I think they want to keep his character and his impact on the other characters a secret for now. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense that all the other actors have bios on the website and have given interviews.
