    I'd be mildly curious. But then I think I'd make myself anxious wondering how I'd get to where I'm supposed to be.

    Would the first few seconds of the flashforward include footage of me watching the flashforward ? That'd be a way of telling whether or not it was accurate or just a pretend flashforward that couldn't be trusted.

    No ,if it was anything like the last ten years I definitely wouldn't want to know in advance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    I think it would give you anxiety, nah I would chose not to know.

    Well Specialun. No I wouldn't. There would be no excitement in your life, just sitting around waiting for x, y and z to happen that you that you saw in the flash forward.

    I once saw the TV show 'Flashforward' and wish I hadn't.

    I would! If my next ten years were gonna be like the last ten and I had an opportunity to make them 30 seconds instead, Id jump in!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,971 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    Yes.Bye bye anxiety.

    So optimistic!

    Yeah I'd do it. Wanna see how rich I'm gonna be.

    If you didn't like what you see could you potentially change the outcome? Like in Scrooge when he changes his ways and changes the future. That could be useful too.

    Ah.. :o

    Would love to do it, digest it for about 5 mins and then have the memory removed. I'd leave a subtle mark on my body.

    Too much Memento maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭THEZAPPA


    I'm not sure if I would or I wouldn't.

    What if I didn't make it to ten years and knew I only had a few to live or a month.

    Then again if I did see some things in the flashforward I could always change them to have a different outcome

    Supposing you're not around in 10 years time?:o

    How could you be sure it wasn't a dream?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    I guess the original poster would have to set the terms more clearly.

    This happened to a guy in London a good while back.

    The trick is to go straight out and buy a Christmas turkey for a disabled lad called Tiny Tim.

    Then I'd just avoid what caused my death or get it seen to sooner if it was an illness or something. This can only be a good thing really.

    And potentially watch people die twice? You crazy?

    Arari jag thingy - The only explaination to this sorta dilemma!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 627 ✭✭✭House of Blaze


    Only if it involves a delorean in some capacity.

    What if you liked it?

    Would you be constantly worrying if the choices you make will result in that outcome or change it? XD

    If I liked it I wouldn't change anything about what I'm currently doing :L

    But what if it depended on you changing? :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    No way!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    Not a hope. As shiity as my life can be I wouldn't miss my daughter growing up for all the gold in the world. Rather wade thru all the Shiite just to see her grow up
