Flash Forward: Lost Number 2

"You aaaaaare everybody!"

FACT: ABC’s new hit series, “Flash Forward”, has certain ties with our old friend, “Lost.”

FACT: Dominic Monaghan, the actor who plays Charlie, appears on future episodes of “Flash Forward,” stating boldly, “I know what caused the Flash Forward.”

FACT: An Oceanic Airlines billboard was seen around eight (fifteen, sixteen…) minutes into the pilot (ha!) episode of Flash Forward.

The following may be considered a spoiler:

Charlie knows what caused the Flash Forward, and the event that caused it was Desmond turning the key in the hatch, thus releasing an energy that made everyone NOT on the island black out for 2 minutes 17 seconds and see a vision of their future.

Is “Flash Forward” the first TV show to REQUIRES you to watch another show completely, before you can even START to comprehend what’s happening?  Normally, I would say fuck you.  But the show’s prerequisite is “Lost”… and “Lost” is the exception to everything.

(This turned out to be not true… according to IMDB, it seems the character’s name on “Flash Forward” is Simon.  Come to think of it, though, not everyone on “Lost” has a name that is what they say it is…)
