FlashForward: Baiting the viewers?

Did anyone see last week’s FlashForward?  I blogged about the the Bryce/Keiko relationship before.  In last week’s episode, the story returns to Keiko (AF) and Bryce (WM) and how they’re trying hard to find one another.  (See video of Yuko Takeuchi, aka “Keiko,” above.)

[spoiler alert] In this episode, the cute Asian woman Keiko waits in the Japanese restaurant screening every  guy who walks through the door to see if he’s her American Prince Charming, while Bryce takes Nicole, the model-esque Japanese-speaking White woman to Little Tokyo to see if they can find Keiko.  While looking for Keiko, Bryce gets a surge of emotion and kisses Nicole, thereby creating all kinds of strangeness in the relationship and storyline.  Bryce and Keiko actually do get physically near one another, but they don’t make contact since Keiko is drinking with her new employer and Bryce is having a conversation with Nicole.

Secrets of the Universe/FlashForward 2

(FlashForward Spoiler below)

I’ve been ill for the past few days, stuck at home yesterday.  The good news is that we just got full cable.  Wow.  I never understood how people could watch 4-7 hours of TV a day, but with the Food Channel, Spike, and Versus, it’s now quite clear to me.  Ultimate Fighting, WEC, or Iron Chef every night?  It doesn’t get better than that.  If I were to convert to Christianity, I imagine Heaven would be something like this, with a perpetual beer in my hand.  (Gomi is fighting tonight at 5 pm Pacific for those who have Spike TV.  It’s free.)  Other people can play their harps and sit on clouds; me, I’ll take my cable and beer.
