The title ’Course Correction’ is an apt name for an episode predominantly focused on determinism and avoiding a fate prophesied. Another few pieces of the jigsaw slot into place for both the audience and the Mosaic investigation. Old sub-plots are re-addressed, some possibly unnecessarily, but they stimulate some interesting ideas and continue the theme of the meandering flow of time.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road injects a much needed dose of background information and subsequently delivers a slew of satisfying ‘oh, I see’ moments, that although overdue, are excellently explained and most importantly, quite believable.
The episode begins with the sweaty brow of Demetri Noh. It’s March 15th, the date of his prophesied death and he’s tied to a chair with the gun that is supposed to kill him pointed at his heart. Simply put, things are not looking good for Demetri.
An important episode that addressed the unanswered question of the mole which was really the cliff-hanger we were left with last year. This has remained largely untouched since the hiatus and personally I had all but forgotten about its significance.
FlashForward has been gaining pace in more recent weeks and the writers appear to be making a conscious effort to address certain unanswered questions which the first ten episodes provoked and failed to return to. An excellent example is the story of Mark’s sponsor, Aaron Stark, and his daughter’s presumed death, return to the US and then subsequent kidnapping. For nearly eight episodes we have heard almost nothing of, what to me, is one of the more intriguing plot lines. This week’s episode acts as a welcome return to some of these unresolved questions and focuses largely on Agent Noh’s immanent death as foretold by the FlashForward.

Compared to last week’s double feature, “Clarence Montgomery” was clearly a bit of a let-down. In both the flashbacks and the modern-day storyline, the episode never reached its potential and although it included one (or maybe two) interesting revelations, it also unveiled things that were right in-line with the low expectations I have come to have for the series.
Until now, the 1960s storylines have always been my favorite parts of episodes of Alcatraz. They have been like a breath of fresh air in stories that have very often had nothing else going for them. In this episode, we meet Clarence Montgomery, an African-American inmate who has convinced his friends of his innocence. A gifted cook, Montgomery was the first black chef to work in an all-white country club and was sent to the rock for allegedly cutting open the throat of his girlfriend, the very white daughter of the club owner in 1958.
