But everyone fell unconscious, so even if he successfully jumped out of the building, wasn't sliced apart by the reinforced glass, did manage to land on the helicopter and wasn't blown up by the massive explosion behind him, he still would've died when the helicopter pilot passed out and the vehicle crashed. That'd be like dodging an RPG while sat in a car or something. Preposterous.
Yeah, it was a good episode, for Flashforward. It was nice to have a resolution to the Murse/Keiko story and the Nurse-babysitter story (did you notice the bloke who saved her was the one she recognised in the hospital a while back?). Penny and thing from Pirates of the Caribbean got together way too quickly, but whatever... Funny to see that dramatic black guy's flashforward of being on the loo had an actual purpose to it, though in the actual vision he was reading a newspaper iirc. Charlie and Sulu's acting in the "go ahead, if you're gonna shoot me, then shoot me" type scene was really ropey. Unusual for them.
I wonder if they really had plan for the next season, because from the looks of things it would've taken place five years later and been pretty similar to this one. I mean, even repeating the story of a character who was apparently dead being discovered alive and well. Eh... probably would've been rubbish anyway.
