All right, if my figures are correct, I’ll be able to get the Flash Forward recaps caught up just in time for the new episodes to begin. Man, that’s a long break between episodes. In a creepy beginning, we open with a playground full of kids, laying on the ground, all except for Charlie. Then one kid calls “Time’s up” and they all talk about what they saw (ponies, mostly) – that’s right, kids play “Blackout” now. A kid starts picking on Charlie and pulls the arm off her weird-ass stuffed animal. She runs out into the street, where she narrowly avoids being hit by a car, and then runs straight into a full-fledged military blockade.
At the FBI, Stanford is addressing the team. 18 agents have quit in the last three days. A woman with a crazy Joker face enters, and Stanford identifies her as “Anastasia Markham” with Homeland Security. She seems irritated that there’s a task force devoted to the blackout, because she doesn’t like anything. Mark gets a call – trouble at school.
