    Shouldn't Kato's jacket be a bit more tailored? It looks like an overcoat rather than a bespoke jacket (which, as Reed's chauffeur, it'd be).
    Plus it makes him look like a hopping, kicking, spinning tub o' lard.
    And dirt on it after a fight?! The horror! Real Shaolin monks defeat even dirt!

    Given ABCs recent treatment of Defying Gravity (oh, it's not canceled, we just have no plans to show the rest of it) I am hesitant to even bother watching V, which will probably never see the light of day after the first four-week run.

    @Srynerson: shit, I hope I look half as good as Gere when I hit 60. Even Harrison "Of the Eternal Youth" Ford, who is just a few yeas younger than McKellan, has been showing his age in recent years, but I'll be damned if Gere couldn't pass for his 40's easily.

    @disatess: Ford has kept himself in great shape, and looks at least 10 years younger than what he is. He could definitely do another Indy if he felt up to it. Let's just hope they get a better script....

    I think the only other guys who could open an action film at that age are Eastwood and Connery.

    Okay, here's the major plot hole I see in Flash Forward: Every person on earth has been traumatized into seeing the exact same moment six months in the future - a moment specifically referenced as 4/29/2009 10PM Pacific Time. You would think as it approaches everyone would anticipate it; yet all the Flashforwards are of mundane activity (Including a woman who sees an obstetritian at 10 PM).

    Its as if the Flashforward was timed for 11:59 on New Years Eve yet nobody remembers to look at a clock or television.

    @NotChoinski: We don't know that it was at 10PM local time- she could have gone to England or something. But it's irrelevant- the fact that nobody was sitting and staring at a notepad of lottery numbers puts lie to the whole premise.

    @NotChoinski: Right, Courtney Vance picked that precise moment to poop.

    Joseph Fiennes seems to have MAYBE anticipated it, as he's staring at his wall of clues. Then again, he's dumb (drunk?) enough to stay in his office when he knows the shooty guys are coming. Dude, take a picture and carry it and your flask to a secure location.

    Seriously, though, I'm hoping that we'll learn why everybody is doing the things they're doing during the flashforward (e.g., the AA sponsor HAS to be with his POW daughter during those two minutes so he'll know to look for her, Courtney HAS to be in the bathroom so he can save the agent who ended up face down in the urinal, etc.). That would give the story a little more meat.

    Until they get on with that, though, it does make it a bit difficult to suspend my disbelief.

    @t3knomanser: As far as we're concerned thus far yes, but the fact that it's only a few episodes means that someone could still be looking at winning numbers or holding the winning ticket. Plus not everyone was traumatized during their FF, so it's really anybody's game as to what will happen.

    I'm enjoying Somerhalder's bad guy vampire entirely too much. He's plenty evil but not too much. He definitely enjoys sticking the knife in just a little ways and twisting, and not just doing a hatchet job.

    We know the younger character is Clu, so won't the older character be Flynn? I thought that was pretty obvious from the teaser trailer.
