Just What Was The Evil Cloud Thing At The End Of Last Weeks Flash Forward Episode?

I haven’t been doing a weekly recap of Flash Forward but I might begin if it continues to be interesting. Once you start one of those things you’re obligated to keep at it.

This is obviously not a recap but more of a discussion on what that wacky glowy cloud thing was at the end of the episode, where the kid in Africa is gazing down at crows biting the dirt and that big tower of Sauron or whatever it is. Scifiwire has a break down of possible causes from the Flash Forward forums at ABC. My vote is that it’s coming from the tower. There’s an obvious dramatic causality here. Big industrial tower in Africa equals environmental catastrophe. Whomever is behind the Big Sleep obviously test slumbered the whole evil design in Africa. Anyway, that’s my thought. Power on over to Scifiwire for some of the other somewhat plausible or completely insane ideas.
