Okay, a few things about the latest episode of “FlashForward.”
I can’t even begin to talk about my WTF moments in regards to the story and dialogue. I don’t have all night.
But let’s talk about this:
Please direct your attention to the framed picture on the right edge of this screengrab. Am I crazy, or is that toddler toting a gun?
Also, there was a black guy with blue eyes, and I wondered if he was the guy from Beyonce’s “Halo” video. (That’s my jam.) Then I slapped myself upside the head and said, “Elysse, don’t be silly. Not all blue-eyed black guys (er, African Americans… is that better or worse?) are the guy from the Beyonce video. You’re racist and terrible.”
But then it WAS him. And I’m actually just good at recognizing actors. Like when I recognized “Mad Men” crazy-mistress Suzanne Farrell (Abigail Spencer) on “Castle” last week. Or that other time on “Castle” when Duck from “Mad Men” (Mark Moses) guest-starred, and the guy who played his gay brother ended up being Quinn’s dad on “Glee.” The same actors are on every show! It’s a conspiracy.
It was hard for me to see him playing some serious antagonistic guy…
Without thinking about this…
Is he real, or is he a fantasy?! All I know is that the lighting in that video is doing to Beyonce and that actor what Tom Sawyer likes to do to fences with a paintbrush. Did I do that right? Do ya dig? Have you read any Mark Twain lately?
There is only one person who can get to the bottom of this. Not really, but that video is just about as chock full of crazy as my brain right now.
xoxo…
