In case you missed last night's episode, here's a recap of FlashForward, one of the most unintentionally funny sci-fi dramas on television:
*Testosterone-laden walking*
"Damn the man! We're doing what we want! myeh!"
*Conveniently locates one Iranian woman in a very large Asian city because she would totally go to a Persian restaurant, duh.*
*TESTOSTERONE!!!! AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!! LOTS OF GUNS POINTED AT IRANIAN WOMAN'S HEAD BECAUSE AN FBI AGENT WOULD ACT LIKE THAT AUGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!*
"...Poochscrew!"
"Hey there, we're SCIENTISTS, and we, you know, did that stuff you guys don't like."
"We need to talk to those SCIENTISTS.. you know, the SCIENTISTS, those doggone SCIENTISTS! THEY DID THOSE THINGS WE DON'T LIKE!"
"Hey, I'm a single, male ER nurse, but I IMMEDIATELY know the name of a GREAT sperm bank!"
BONUS:
In case you weren't sure, it was confirmed that yes, indeed, the intention of FF was to attract LOST fans because of the BIG, HUGE, MONDO LOST commercial strategically placed in the middle.
DAILY DOUBLE BONUS:
This post is my 500th post. *confetti!*
See, this is why I don't even watch FF anymore, you provide a much better recap! You should write for Television Without Pity!

Oh, but you missed the awesome use of the word, "Poochscrew". The angry FBI boss was FURIOUS at his wayward employee's rebellion! RAAWR!! He was told not to go to China, point blank, but did it anyhow, and then held an Iranian woman at gunpoint. Boss called his actions a "poochscrew". Oooooh, such ANGRY FOUL LANGUAGE.
Too bad no more recaps until March.

Writing from the perspective of an Anglo-Iranian the Iranian seeking out a Persian restaurant in a foreign city was the only realistic bit of that episode! What I dont understand is how come we Brits saw it before you guys - that NEVER happens.
