The new drama 'Flash Forward' on ABC is a Thursday TV pick

'FlashForward'

This new drama premieres tonight with a lot of comparisons to "Lost." There's the major life-changing event, the big cast of characters (including "Shakespeare in Love's" Joseph Fiennes), and lots of talk of conspiracy and destiny. Sounds intriguing. 8 tonight, ABC (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
