Trying to press John Cho to reveal the secrets of ABC’s FlashForward seems to be like asking Sarah Palin what newspapers she reads. He is extremely evasive about the show’s mysteries: “That’s all I can say…I cannot reveal that to you…You will soon know.”
So, what can Cho tell us? The second episode (airing tonight and repeating Friday), “White to Play,” is about a trip to Utah his character Demetri Noh takes with Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) to investigate a clue from Mark’s flash. “A very interesting character is introduced,” Cho says.
Pressed on whether the show will give us some answers soon, he says, “the clues start to trickle in. I know this: we’re going to the date of the flash forward by the end of the season. I don’t know if all the questions will be answered.”
The cast is shooting episode nine now, and Cho says he’s only allowed to read one script ahead, so he’s got some questions remaining himself. Will engaged Demetri tie the knot? Cho – of course – won’t tell us but does say “I can tell you that the fiancé is played by David Hasselhoff.” Sadly, we don’t think that’s a real spoiler.
Demetri saw nothing during the global blackout. So does that mean he’s dead or dreaming or something else? Cho isn’t telling (are you seeing a pattern yet?) but he does enjoy the character’s mysterires. “I thought it put him in a very interesting position. I was intrigued to read the script so I thought the audience would be intrigued.”
Intriguing, yes…but I’m ready for a fast forward of my own so I know what’s going on!
PopWatchers, any theories to explain why Demetri saw nothing?

It’s a CERN experiment gone wrong.

i have a feeling his character didn’t black out and not see anything i have a feeling he was one of the people that didn’t black out thats why when the main character woke up he didn’t find him next to him cause if they were supposed to black out for 2 mins and 17 seconds howd cho’s character get up and go somewhere before the other guy
whoah! that’s a good point … totally didn’t pick up on that . . .
Yeah, I definitely agree with you. I think he’s involved with the flash in some way and I don’t buy that he just blacked out and didn’t see anything. I wonder if he really thinks he did or if he’s aware that he was doing something else while everyone else was blacked out/flashing forward. Either he didn’t know what was going on or he’s really good at playing dumb.
Great theory TT!
What if he moved involuntarily? The reason he didn’t see anything cause he was doing something, controlled by w/e caused the blackouts in the first place?
Sorry Buddy i dont think i agree, That lady did call him and say that she saw him die on a certain day. That means something.
She didn’t say she actually saw him die, she only said she read a report that says he died.
Not a bad theory TT. I hadn’t thought of that. They were in a car crash so it’s possible he did black out but not for the same reason and not for the same amount of time. I’ve been thinking that he is going to die only because there will inevitably be a Star Trek sequel and the actor will need to be available for it.
love that theory! much better than the one where his character dies …
Maybe he didn’t black out because in the future he was the guy in the baseball stadium walking out?
It’s a longshot, but still valid!
He’s dead, Jim.
i laughed out loud, thanks for that, haha
I think Jacob touched him.
Awesome. That would be so cool if it were true.
At the conclusion of the first episode the female character said Why are THEY awake?? I only saw one person walking…….
I thought she was just playing the pronoun game since she wasn’t entirely sure if it was guy or girl.
I was wondering where that dude was when the other guy came to in the car…..I think I saw him talking to Dr. Jack Shepard.
Loving all of these theories. So glad I’ll have another show to make me think when Lost is off the air!
He is in emergency surgery.
Anybody else notice only 1 person??Why did she say THEY. Perhaps she knows more than she is revealing. The Asian guy didn’t catch on yet, maybe he will soon.
This past pilot was perhaps my second favorite in TV History. Lost #1. I also enjoyed last years Life on Mars and Invasion from a few seasons ago. Fantastic pilot, I hope the series continues to impress.
So . . . when does Doc Jensen begin recapping this show? Come on, Doc, what are your theories?
Cant wait for the 3rd Episode 2 c whats going 2 happen, “D Gibbons is a bad man” i thought D Gibbons was that lady. The show gets better and better.
