If you think it through, this whole flash forward thing doesn't make any sense

Posted by FabioParme Nov 3 '09, 10:16

I mean, the moment I had the flash forward, I would just programme myself to be holding the lotery numbers in front of a mirror at the exact moment in the future so the past FabioParme can easily become a millionaire.

I certainly wouldn't be taking a dump like the stupid FBI director.

- yeah, the "(now an alternate)" subnote is key. - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:20

- Well, where's the rule that says that I can't alter my future? - FabioParme Nov 3, 10:21 8
  - You can, but it wouldn't change what you already saw. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 10:23 2
    - I hate Temproal Mechanics. -- nm - Chief O'Brien Nov 3, 10:26 1
      - word. -- nm - Dr. Sam Beckett Nov 3, 10:42
  - The flash forward is a memory. I would imagine that people's memories are not rewriting themselves, so ... sure, you can change the future. - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:23 4
    - But don't you think that of all the people on the planet, *one* person would have done something that would (spoilers?) - oblique Nov 3, 10:25 2
      - yes, that's what I'm saying. What everyone saw is now meaningless. Mere hints at what might come to pass. - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:39
      - One of the things I'm curious about is how they address the "can you change your future?" thing - celedhring Nov 3, 10:27
    - Now that makes sort of sense, I guess -- nm - FabioParme Nov 3, 10:25
