This is potentially really interesting. I'm not sure if anyone realized this, but it appears that the kids we have been introduced to actually saw things differently than adults for some reason. The man's son in the hospital knew the doctor's name, which if the boy had flashed to the day everyone else had he wouldn't have been a part of the doctor's or his father's vision. So how does he know her name?
Also the daughter (sorry I'm horrible with names) seems to refer to plural, "days" when she says "There are no more good days." It already seems like the kids have a bit more of that interesting almost omnipotent knowledge about everything, but they don't really realize it. Anyone else agree? Disagree? |

So how does he know her name? Anyone else agree? Disagree? That's an interesting point. His father recognizes Olivia's name though and at no point during the reveals of their flash forwards, what little we did see, did there seem to be dialogue that would suggest that they would pick up on it. This makes me think that the flash forwards are more then just audio visuals portrayed in them, but also the memories that go with it. Especially since Olivia mentions that she felt as though she had strong feelings for this man she hadn't ever met. Because of this, the boy would have had to endured experiences and remembered Olivia's name as a result of it. The other thing interesting about that is whether his stating her name, and her asking how he knew her name makes for any changes as a result. |

That's interesting, but yeah then in theory Olivia should have potentially known the boy's name as well, or perhaps even recognized him. Hmmm. I still get the feeling that the children seem a bit less confused than the adults thus far. They just seem more grounded. At any rate, between that and the awake person I am very excited for episode 2! |

I agree with the OP. I was thinking about this [actually talking to another person about it right now], and i thought the FlashForward was just that point in time. They don't actually recall anything beforehand, so Olivia talking about the man, was because she felt it. This kid didn't see her, or was in her vision.
I want to know what the little girl saw. The boy knew Olivia, but he seemed..okay? The girl was more upset about what she saw. Strange. |

What i really don't get is how come these children seemed to think that they've seen the future or even they've seen a reality, while the adults were almost clueless..
if i saw someone in a dream (at that moment, they didn't know if it was the future), i would definitely be freaked out by seeing the exact same person in my dream in flesh and blood, instead of "hey Olivia, wazzup?".. this is definitely strange.. -------------------- After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager." - William S.

Well the little girl said "I had a bad dream, i dreamed there were no more good days". Nothing about this implies that she knows it was a vision of the future only that she had a bad dream. Later again in the episode just prior to giving her father the friendship bracelet she again says she had a bad dream. I am assuming this is a second dream to the one she had about the time of the blackout. MAYBE the little girl didn't blackout/FF the way the adults did, MAYBE she didn't blackout and FF at all, she was laying in bed presumed asleep by the babysitter and boyfriend just prior to the blackout/FF. Maybe she dreamed the future but not through the blackout/FF. This could explain he second "bad dream" later that night when she wakes and finds her dad ont eh swingset outside. The little boy obviously knows Olivia, but again we don't know the circumstance of it. He very well may not have blacked out/FF the way the adults . He was in a car wreck, obviously the driver blacked out and they crashed, but we don't know what he saw, only that he knows Olivia. there is no knowledge about as to how the kid knows Olivia yet. -------------------- To Change the World, Start with One Step However Small, First Step is Hardest of All - Dave Matthews

That's a really good observation. Also, the little girl also seemed to really want her dad to take the friendship bracelet (there are probally other reasons, but still) and the bracelet was written on that bulletin board. Maybe she wants him to have the bracelet for a reason that only she knows? But maybe the friendship bracelet is writen on there because Mark saw it in his FF and he didn't take it off. I don't know if that makes sense..anyone have any ideas about it?

Could there be a possibility that not everyone stops at the six month point when they had there vision?
Mark sees a series of images before stopping at the six month point; maybe some people see the "flashes" within the vision in more detail. |
