Flashforward 10/22

I watched the last two episodes yesterday and was it me or was the ultrasound of a more fully-developed fetus than one would expect from a relatively new pregnancy? If I’m correct, the baby looked to be at least in the second trimester, which means that FBI agent Lezzo needs to get crackin’ on her manhandling skillz.

I’m pretty sure she said she was 5 months pregnant. So conception would have to be pretty soon.

Theory on who sent FBI’s wife the text message: Maybe it was one of the gunman in the office. They fact that they’re wearing masks make me think we’ve already scene at least one of them. And I don’t think boss or sponsor would go through the trouble of encrypting their text so she wouldn’t know who it was.

Unless, of course, Peter Coyote is being woken and told “Something’s happened – you’ve been accused of treason and your vice president will take over until an investigation is finished” or something of that nature, while Celemente’s flash-forward is of her being told “You are now the acting President”. I don’t see any contradictions yet, necessarily.

IIRC, Clemente said, “I saw myself as President” – with an arrogance that bordered on the pathological (at least to me). Fair point, though; it’s a scenario that hadn’t occurred to me.

In terms of the ‘absolute contradictions’ I’d say they are more apparent contradictions. Right now they are just contradictory in interpretation - Cho’s wife thought she saw him, but from our perspective she was far away and just assuming he was part of the group in the distance and that it was their wedding. We saw the President being called Mr President and summoned by an agent, but in terms of the new VP, all we have is her statement. I don’t think either is a mistake - they are purposely written as mysteries to be expounded upon later.

Actually, I wasn’t even thinking of Agent Noh’s (apparent) wedding. Make that three. Grin.

I was thinking of the tangle of flashforwards surrounding the doctor, and specifically the two kids. Charlie recognized Dylan; I have no problem with that (although Charlie has apparently seen other stuff, as evidenced by her line that “D. Gibbons is a bad man” – which line has been completely ignored, btw, and is irritating as (*)# as a result.

But Dylan called the doctor by name, and he wasn’t in her flashforward nor his dad’s. So if everyone saw the same moment, where were the kids that they would know everyone involved? (Granted, we haven’t actually seen either of the kids’ flashforwards; I’m extrapolating from what we have seen.)

Also suggested is that Clemente could have been lying. As far as I recall, hers is the only flash-forward that we the audience didn’t actually get to see. And she is certainly hateful enough to lie.

Incidentally, which was the other contradictory flash-forward? I don’t remember that happening.

I think this would be true just from the size of her belly. If, in fact, the flash-forwards are accurate about the future, she needs to get herself preggers right frikkin now in order to be that big six months from now. Ehr, I guess in story-time it’s been a month already, so five months… which is really pushing it. Some women hardly show until month 6.
