FlashForward: Ghosts

  Ghosts are described as the disembodied spirit or soul of a deceased person.   In the case of FF it would be more to describe them as people who knew or thought they knew that by April 10th, 2010 they would be dead.  These are people who felt they had nothing left to fear about life so they chose to embrace death.  In all types of horrifying fashions.  Seriously people stop watching Saw. 

Ghosts can also describe thoughts or actions which haunt our minds and hearts.  These ghost are a little harder to grasp and even harder to fight.  Because as Special Agent Al Gough learned you can’t run from your fear of the inevitable.  From the very start of last night’s episode  I knew something was off with who was fastly becoming one of my favorite characters.  But I quickly dismissed any possible notion that Cyclops, oops excuse me Al, was going to be dealt a blow to any future storylines he had coming his way.  Because you see even though Lee  Thompson Young  had been consistently billed as a guest star I just knew that he would soon be made a part of our FF family.  And ooh boy that assurance grew even more when I could have sworn he said “I killed him.”  Huh? What?  Excuse me did you just say that you killed him?  OMG you can’t be the one who kills Demetri!  No not Al anyone but Al. (on a side note I love that even though I later learn that wasn’t what he said I could have sworn that is exactly what he did say)  Oh I could just see the upcoming storylines playing out in my mind.  But let’s remember that I did say that it seemed something was off earlier in the post, but for the life of me I couldn’t put my finger on it.  Whose Celia?  What does she have to do with the Blue Hand group?  Is she important in any way?  Does she have meaning?  Why is it Al’s voice we hear reading the story?  What does she have to do with him if she didn’t have a flash?  Ugh so many questions!  I confess my head started to hurt a little bit.  Apparently she had everything to do with his flash because it wasn’t Demetri he will have killed, it was a single mother of twin boys who from what I could gather was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  So instead of embracing his ghost he decided to estinguish it before it could cause more harm and in the process supply this fan with her first gasp of the season.
