100 things I learned from watching Flash Forward


1. Asian assassins don't know how to kill people with guns or grenades.

2. Karaoke is a great way to blow off some steam if you have five months to live.

3. Presidents can make their pregnant mistresses disappear for a mere $250k.

4. Two Asian assassins are no match for one lesbian with a bag of groceries.

5. If you are a lesbian on your first date, feel free to snoop through her apartment. However, don't dare look up your date's profile on the web, or she will dump your crazy ass.

6. If your fifth grade teacher tells you someday you will either end up dead, or in prison, don't worry. There's still time, my friend -- still time.

8. Lesbian FBI agent's dream fantasies involve themselves, Sarah Palin, and Hillary Clinton in an outer space three-way sex fest.

9. Suggesting the image of Christine Woods and Sarah Palin having sex is kind of a strange idea to suggest on a major network drama.

10. Adding Hillary Clinton to that image will make a politician lose an erection.

17. Singing Karaoke makes you bullet-proof for at least 15 minutes.

18. When you use the magic thread to surgically close a gunshot wound to the abdomen, there won't be a scare visible later during a sonogram.

19. If you go to a death club meeting, bring at least a couple friends because only 1 of you will have to pull the trigger of the revolver in order to get in.

20. When confronting people in the street, challenge them from a distance by shouting at them rather than getting close first before they suspect you are "FBI !!!!" .. so a foot chase will follow.

21. If you create a website asking the public to fill in information and let them search it also, you'll will create consequences considered unintended by people who don't understand what a website is.

22. Freewill (and gravity) kicks fate's ass, every time.

23. Remembering the cinnamon rolls from that place s/he likes won't be enough to get you out of the dog house after forgetting an appointment if your partner is hotter than wide.

26. "Print is dead."

27. Dying birds can be made to lower their little bird feet on cue, for the camera.

28. If you're a skinny asian FBI agent, 12 seconds is the proper interval to "check your look in the mirror" when preparing to leave your insanely beatiful home for the evening (even in a t-shirt and jeans).

29. Selecting an attractive lawyer to get engaged to, no matter how educated she is, won't prevent from having to jointly proof invitations AT the printers, especially if she can take you in a fight.

30. One of the most beatiful women on the planet can deliver the line, "I'm not looking for glamour", but not with a straight face.

31. If you tackle a guy with a gun, throwing him to his back, straddle him and yell "Turn around", he'll do it, without hesitation, and without laughing at you.

32. The guy who loads the single, commemorative bullet into the revolver, knows what chamber it is in, so the floor doesn't get messier every 6th person.

reply

33. He was loaded, okay?

34. There's no such thing as "fate". There's only "Blue Hand Death Club" and the "Jump Off A Room Club".

35. Irish Beard Man's daughter is a demon. Really. Trust me.

36. If you thought only Russians are called Demetri, then you're obviously an idiot.

37. TV shows are growing up. You can have a Korean guy walk into a room with two dead Chinese guys in it, and have no-one say anything along the lines of "They all look the same..." (at least until you go to the IMDB board of said TV show...)

Every cliche, slang, acronym, or phrase that a hollywood type could ever imagine to have been uttered at any point in time by any one person in the past 230 plus years of our military's existence must be used in a 30 second chase scene that poorly resembles a bad episode of Roscoe P. Coltrane chasing the Duke boys and defies all common sense, tactics, techniques, and standard operating procedure for contact with an enemy.

41. When the FBI puts up a site like Mosaic no one will troll it and each post will be taken as fact with no one posting 'pics or it didn't happen'

42. Corny acting FBI agents are neat-freaks.

43. I figured out why they spell it "DEMetri" and not "DIMetri". Because then the short version would be "Dim", and that's just racist.

Even to the point of giving their real name and, flashforward to some website that's searchable by anyone.

Sweet dude!!!" stuff....

57. FBI has a lot of talented web-developers since it takes a mere day or 2 to put a side like Mosaic online and it's inevitably cheaper than a trip to Somalia.
58. FBI has an outstanding software for analysis of free text since it's able to link hundreds of thousands of stories thanks to the Mosaic site. The prime example for the working software is finding the mistress of the US president who is honest and shares her location as well.
