Remember that big interview we promised? Time to flash a little light on to it: we had the privilege to talk with multi-best-novel-of-the-year-national-award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer, the one responsible for the FlashForward novel and ultimately the ABC television series of the same name.
Robert was gracious enough with time out of his busy schedule to give us a lengthy interview, so we’ll be playing half of the interview on our upcoming podcast Episode 1.04: “Black Swan”, and the remainder of the interview the following week.

The title of this show for Episode 3 is in German, ja. Well, the proper German title would be: Hundertsiebenunddreißig Sekunden, but the producers of the show went for the numeral value of the number instead…I wonder why? Sekunden as we learn, means “seconds” in nazi-prisoner Herr Geyer’s native tongue. He claims to know why 137 is such an important number in this whole blackout mess.

Episode 2 delved into the secrets of the board from Mark Benford’s FlashForward, focusing on the name D. Gibbons. This D. Gibbons fellow has an evil aura about him, yet his research is puzzling to the FBI. No kangaroos in this episode, however, Demetri meets someone who also did not have a FlashForward vision…and she subsequently dies (things aren’t looking so good for him!)
