Televisionary Has A Review of The Brannon Braga/David Goyer Script For ABC’s Sci-Fi Time Travel Pilot FLASH FORWARD!!

I am – Hercules!!
David S. Goyer (“Blade: The Series”) and Brannon Braga (“Star Trek: Enterprise”) – who earlier collaborated on CBS’ short-lived alien-invasion drama “Threshold” – scripted “Flash Forward,” based on the sci-fi novel by Robert J. Sawyer.
The book is about what happens when physicists, conducting a super-high-energy experiment, accidentally cause everyone on Earth to experience two minutes and 17 seconds of his or her own future 21 years hence.
Already cast in the pilot are Joseph Fiennes (“Shakespeare In Love”), John Cho (“Harold & Kumar”), Jack Davenport ("Swingtown"), Courtney B. Vance (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent”) and the girl who plays Penny Widmore on “Lost.”
Televisionary has read the script and offers a verdict:
While Goyer and Braga's script stumbles in a few parts and the dialogue could use a little tweaking in some places (the scene between Dominic and Kathryn was a little on the nose, for example), the overall result is pretty damn strong, offering up a potential series that--like Lost before it--tackles the notions of fate versus free will, preordained destiny versus random chaos, and a life-altering experience that will shake several characters' perceptions, outlooks, and core identities as they adapt to new circumstances.
