FlashForward Breakdown, "Playing Cards With Coyote"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:30:30 -0800

After Al's tragic suicide on last week's episode of FlashForward, this week shows how the idea of "changing the game" has affected all the characters. Mark and Olivia start to find new hope for their relationship, Lloyd teaches Simon a lesson, and Aaron learns more about where his daughter has been for the past two years.

Ready to get into all the details? Just read more.

"The future can be changed": Al's death makes headline news when Celia gets her letter in the mail, instilling hope in Mark and Demetri - for a bit. Mark whisks Olivia off on a romantic getaway and things seem to be much happier between the two. But once they're back to regular life, they both get a reality check: Mark gifts her the lingerie she's wearing in her flash forward, and Aaron's reunion with Tracy makes Mark go back to believing that the visions may be set in stone.

The stars are aligned: Mark thinks he has a big lead when some footage shows up of a man he recognizes from his vision - a woman named Ingrid reports a crime and her phone images reveal a man with a tattoo of three stars on his arm. Thinking it's the same pern who breaks into his office in the future, Mark immediately dedicates himself to finding the guy. Using Ingrid as bait, Mark manages to take kill him, and rushes home to Olivia to tell her that they're going to have a second chance because he changed the game. But then - surprise! There's a whole crew of dudes with that tattoo. Um, seriously Mark? This never occurred to you? It's not like the guy has an unmistakable tattoo of Edward Cullen on his arm.

That was a crazy game of poker: Feeling guilty about that whole deadly experiment thing, Lloyd sends out an email to a few colleagues saying "We have to take responsibility." Of course, Simon isn't pleased about Lloyd's plans to go public and wants to settle their argument over a game of Texas hold 'em. There's plenty of trash talking from Simon, who thinks that he and Lloyd are gods for the impact they've had on the planet. He tosses around ideas of fate (was anyone else thinking about Lost's Charlie and his fate finger tape?) and just when Simon thinks he's sitting pretty, Lloyd turns the tables with a sleight of hand. (Some U2 lyrics come to mind here). Somehow I still don't think Simon is going to make it easy for Lloyd to publicize what they've done.

Reunited and it feels so good? Tracy is back at home with Aaron, but she's not exactly the same girl that went off to war. She's lost her leg in combat and suffering from PTSD, which she's reluctant to discuss with her dad at first. Feeling confident from his flash forward, Aaron encourages Tracy to open up about what happened overseas. She finally reveals that her near-death experience was an ambush from Jericho, a group of military contractors that she ratted out after seeing something she shouldn't. Tracy is paranoid after living a life on the run for two years (and is not at all pleased when Aaron talks to Mark about her situation). Though keeping track of all the different characters and their separate story lines is getting confusing, I'm liking this new development in Aaron's story.

Other plot points:

Janice tries to quit but Stan won't let her. As she continues to contemplate Al's death and her vision, she starts looking into sperm donation - does this mean those are tears of joy in her flash forward?

Ingrid says that she remembers one of the shooters saying "QED," which is also brought up during Simon and Lloyd's poker game.

Ingrid and her bird collection can be added to the list that already includes the crows and the bird crashing into Fiona's window.

So, is that Simon strangling Nicole in her vision? Creepy. I'm wondering if she finds out his secret and tries to intervene.

How'd you feel about this week's episode? Any new theories on what's going to happen over the next few months? Let's get the conversation going!

Breaking News: Coyote Snatches Daisy in Front of Jessica!

PetSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:45:15 -0700

There's some sad news out of LA this evening: Jessica Simpson's pooch was taken by a coyote. She just tweeted about the picking of her precious Daisy right in front of her face. I cannot even imagine:

My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!

Unfortunately, coyotes present a constant danger for outdoor pets and it's hard to track exactly what happened after the dog disappeared. If you allow pets outside in areas where these animals (and other dangerous creatures) roam free, please let this be a lesson to you. Fingers crossed for a miracle to bring the maltipoo home.

Cool Idea: Invest in Art and Save Desert Habitat

CasaSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:00:23 -0700

Artist, sculptor, and furniture maker Alma Allen, who I've featured in a designer spotlight post, has partnered with the Mojave Desert Land Trust to celebrate art and conservation. Allen has created two bronze sculptures in editions of 50, each exclusively for the Mojave Desert Land Trust. The sculptures, a tortoise and a rabbit, are two of the animals that depend on this land for their survival. Seventy percent of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Land Trust's campaign to support The Quail Mountain Project.

To find out about how you can help, and to see more photos, read more.

The Quail Mountain Project encompasses 955 acres of pristine wildlife habitat in Joshua Tree, CA, just adjacent to the northern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park. Saving this land would help support its diverse population of bighorn sheep, bobcat, desert tortoise, coyote, and dozens of bird species, to name just a few of the creatures that depend on this land for habitat.

This project is immensely personal to Allen, as he and his partner live on the edge of the park in a green home they built themselves. Order one of Allen's charming sculptures (priced at $150 each) to help support this project. Allen also has a show at Heath Ceramics in LA on Nov. 5, and you can check out more of his work here.

Jessica Simpson Might Jump Into the Online Dating Pool

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:54:58 -0700

It hasn't really been Jessica Simpson's year. We all felt for her after her surprise breakup with Tony Romo, then her dog Daisy was snatched up by a coyote! Despite the drama, Jessica is hopeful that she'll find love again, and this time may even let her fingers do the talking online.

While at a QVC red carpet event last night, Jessica said that she isn't afraid of looking for love through the Internet, and may consider the method in the future. Although most of you aren't really keen on the idea of online dating, there's a large number of people who are finding long-lasting relationships through popular Internet sites. If Jessica is taking her love search online, we have some suggestions for her! Find out what they are when you read more.

Feast on Some Skycandy: Skype's new online speed dating service allows you to meet a lot of people in a short amount of time, which is perfect for Jess who's schedule is packed and is always on the go.
Twitter Me This: Jess is already a fan of Twitter, so using it to get a date should be super easy for the star.
A Word From the Wise: Just because the guys you'll be meeting online say they're legit doesn't mean they always will be. Be on the lookout for phony profiles and keep your eyes and ears open for any weirdness once you do meet your dates in person.

Jessica Simpson Is Still Rooting For the Cowboys

PopSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:00:29 -0700

Jessica Simpson met up with Ken Paves for dinner at Vino restaurant in Encino, CA, last night. It's been a rough week for Jessica, who called off the search for Daisy after her beloved dog was taken by a coyote. Many of you felt the timing of Martha Stewart's comments blaming Jessica were a little harsh, but it looks like the singer is trying to move on with the help of her friends. Yesterday she also twittered support for the Dallas Cowboys, so it sounds like Jess isn't letting her split from QB Tony Romo stop her from cheering on her hometown team, although they ended up losing to the Giants.

Martha Stewart Discusses Jessica Losing Daisy - Insensitive or Realistic?

PopSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:00:00 -0700

Jessica Simpson has been staying hopeful in the aftermath of her beloved dog Daisy being snatched by a coyote right in front of her, and Martha Stewart recently shared her two cents on the situation. Martha said,

"It's pretty sad. . . She should have watched it more closely, though. She should have been more careful."

Martha's no stranger to pet drama of her own, after her own pup Chow Chow died in a freak propane explosion earlier this year. One might think Martha would be more sympathetic after experiencing loss of her own, but tell us what you think - were Martha's comments insensitive or realistic?

Ashlee Goes From Her Place to PETCO With Pete and Bronx

PopSugar — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 04:00:00 -0700

The Simpson-Wentz clan was smiling big as they swung by a PETCO in LA yesterday. It's been a rough week for the furry friends of the Simpson family after Jessica's Daisy was snatched by a coyote and remains missing despite her efforts to contact all her neighbors. Ashlee has other reasons to look so happy, especially considering all the support she's getting from loved ones about her role on Melrose Place. The show is turning out to be scandalous, as the stars get romantically entangled and play with the hottest tech toys around.

For more photos of Pete and Ashlee shopping with Bronx just read more.
