'FlashForward': Watch the first 18 minutes
Twitter
The headline pretty much tells you all you need to know: ABC has made the first two acts of its highly anticipated series "FlashForward" available on Hulu.The preview clocks in at just under 18 minutes, and in terms of scope and arresting visuals, it's one of the most ambitious pilots since "Lost" debuted five years ago.
Will it end up being as good as "Lost"? We'll see. What you won't get in the preview is a long stretch of exposition that comes later in the episode and slows things down quite a bit.
You can presume (or at least hope) that as the series goes on, the need for such talky, groundwork-laying scenes will dissipate, and we'll be able to delve deeper into the very intriguing mystery set up here.
So without further ado, here you go. I'd recommend watching in full screen; click on the top right of the video window after it starts playing.

i think they put this up on hulu because it was leaked onto the interweb the other day
pretty solid stuff... it seemed really really close to lost at some points but i loled at the oceanic reference
Cautiously excited. The concept is a very intriguing one, but I wonder if it has staying power. I also expect it to be fairly different from the book ... which could be a good thing.
What they need to do, for it to stick, is to focus on the human relationships. The book was actually quite effective in doing that, but a heavy sci fi oriented show sticking on network, will be difficult. It's often forgotten in the latter years of the show, but Lost's first season success arguably derived from it's ability to develop the human relationships between the characters. The problem for this show is how it can do that within such a broad scope.
