In the following scene from the FlashForward series premiere, FBI agent Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) tries to explain what the heck happened to him.

He tells co-workers that "I didn't just lose consciousness; my consciousness went somewhere else."

Others seem able to relate, and for good reason: as various FlashForward spoilers have revealed, everyone on the planet doesn't merely black out. They see visions of the future. Some are happy; some are sad; all are mysterious.

Watch the clip below and remember to tune in on September 24 when the show premieres on ABC:
