FlashForward: The Crow Theory
crow theory
After watching the third episode of FlashForward, “137 Sekunden” I thought for about 2 minuten.
What seemed strange to me, intentional or otherwise, was the link between crows and the blackout(s). Why were crows the only birds effected by the flashforward? Maybe this was done for stylistic purposes and crows are meant to represent birds in general?
However a couple of peculiar facts concerning crows and their disposition remain. For example crows are extremely susceptible to the West Nile Virus, which has three distinct effects on humans. The first is asymptomatic infection, which is a disease that does not display symptoms. A person infected with this highly contagious disease does not even know he has it. The second symptom is called a mild febrile syndrome, or West Nile Fever. The third, and most interesting, is called West Nile Meningitis. This disease causes an inflammation of the protective membrane covering the brain and is most often associated with symptoms such as confusion and altered consciousness.
Perhaps Olivia, the agent’s wife, will have a much bigger role to play besides an adulteress.
Hmmm, interesting, I like the way herr nazi dude referred to the ‘murder’ when checking into america in his flash forward. But, like the bible its open to interpretation. As for that abandoned town and that tower…hmmmm I smell illuminati style ‘population control’ blackout causing mass death human and crow and also, couldn’t these visions be merely ‘strings’ for the puppet master to pull to create an endgame/prophecy….roll on five months and 2 weeks
The “murder” the Nazi refers to is a “group”, as in a “group of crows” is called “murder”. although in the 3rd episode the Nazi corrects the FBI agent when he makes the same connection ???
