'Flash Forward'

ABC's new drama series kicks off with a big, sci-fi catastrophe -- everyone in the world blacks out for 2 minutes, 17 seconds, during which time they all see a vision of their futures. Within that mind-bending framework, though the network is promising a character- and emotion-driven story starring the likes of Joseph Fiennes, Sonya Walger ("Lost's" Penny) and John Cho. Love, mystery, changing your fate -- what's not to like?
