After having to put up with a clone of a bad episode of House last week, this episode was of a much higher standard which provided some truth’s but left me with several questions about Stanford Wedeck’s past and what it means for the future.

I found this episode to be a bit of a disappointment following the high quality of the first 3 episodes as this is the first episode that I would think truly qualifies as filler. The main plot came across like a bad episode of House, and the rest of the episode felt like it was set up for later on in the series. While I think a lot of the plot elements will be important in later episodes I did not think it made for stellar television.

A bit of a slower episode this week which seems to have the theme of people living by the future instead of for it, and people doing things they would not otherwise even consider. This is shown by Mark doing a “deal with the devil”, Aaron obsessing about his daughter and Demetri obsessing about his death, though I cant really blame him for this. We also have another piece of the future slide into place with the D-Day on Marks Future board being revealed to refer to Demetri’s wedding day rather than some additional seismic event on April 29th 2010.

The Flash Forward has come and gone and now it is time to get down to solving the mystery of who or what caused it and why. We also get another hit from Mark’s Flash Forward with the introduction of the (for the moment), enigmatic D. Gibbons.

Unfortunately I only remembered about this series starting when I saw a trailer for the third episode on the Spoilertv site, so my thoughts on this and the second episode are late. However given the content of this episode I thought it important to review it given the details that emerge, and the hints of what is in the series to come.
