‘Lost’ in space
“FlashForward” is just about the most ambitious pilot we’ve seen since “Lost.” So Dominic Monaghan, who stars in both series, explains how he compares the two:
“There are obviously similarities — a large ensemble cast, very ambitious storyline and a very easy way to sell the show internationally,” he says. “I think there’s distinct differences at the same time. I don’t think [with “FF”] we’re dealing with something as deeply rooted in a mythology that needs to be solved. I think this is a show that is, not necessarily to use the word ‘simplistic,’ but is probably not as sophisticated in that deeply rich mythology as ‘Lost’ is.”
