Things certainly advanced this episode, but definitely felt like filler. I wonder what information Flynn got out of the French automaker. I wish Lucy had of confronted him with what happen to Wyatt after his side mission went askew. At least Wyatt had some probing thoughts on the meaning of life and how events led to his current situation. What's interesting, yet frustrating, is that Lucy was just given her diary. Yet the copy Flynn has is old and worn. Reminds me a bit of River Song's diary come to think of it. I seriously hope this gets renewed since I have a feeling it's going to end on a ,assign cliffhanger. Isn't Grimm ending? Maybe they'd at least give it a Friday slot, although I think it would be better served on Sundays or an earlier 8pm slot. |

Decent episode. I have faith that this will get renewed.
If Grimm can last six seasons airing on Friday nights, this show can earn a second season. |

Hope it gets another season. |

I said, when I stopped watching this early on, it won't get renewed. I'm sticking to that prediction.

I wasn't surprised at all that Wyatt's replacement died on the mission. It was just a one-off episode to allow for that setup where they are now openly defying Rittenhouse with Wyatt as part of the rogue group.
While I would love for this to get renewed (Agree about Grimm), they can only make this going rogue plot last so long now that they are going there. Would have to come up with something completely new before long. This is the firs time I didn't really like the guest stars playing the famous characters. None of them really stood out like Houdini and others have in other episodes. |

However, NBC was so set on using The Voice as a lead-in for it. Now it's getting even worse ratings with the awful Arnold celebrity Apprentice as it's lead-in. It was a fun mission of the week episode, but it did feel mostly like filler. I liked how Rufus was so smitten with Josephine Baker. Lucy getting her clean brand new diary was another interesting element. I really can't see them wrapping the season in a nice and tidy bow. It's going to end on some kind of cliffhanger to sell another season. |

It's the one thing that FOX does right (local news at 10pm instead of a primetime show) Damn I'm getting old. I look forward to local news these days!! |

Not sure an earlier slot would have done any good. The core audience is what it is, and they will record it if necessary. The core just isn't big enough. Sad that AARP stuff like NCIS does so much better, but it's reality. Somebody will probably say no way, but it would be cool if this was one of those series that gets shifted to cable and survives.

If it's not cable or CW it seems that every show has to be a doctor, lawyer or cop show or it will get cancelled.

No way. However give NBC credit for attempting something, but it was obvious from the beginning this was going to have a very limited audience.
I thought the second episode setup more drama than the pilot. Honestly, I don't think the pilot had a big enough hook at the end to grab people. All that said, I still greatly enjoy the show and don't want it to get cancelled. I'd be fine if they got 12-13 episodes next fall to wrap things up. Frankly, I think NBC needs to bring closure to projects and build good will towards viewers rather than just can half finished shows. |

The last thing sci-fi shows should do is try to appease the AARP crowd like Quantum Leap. That shows plays out like NCIS with time travel. Shows I watch while multi-tasking more important things. |

Barf. I'm sure I'm not the only one that was already disappointed by how much of a procedural Timeless already is. So many of the missions could have been much better played out over multiple episodes. The one with the original Rittenhouse for example.

Re: Timeless (S1E14) -- "The Lost Generation" -- 2/6/17
I don't think Timeless is coming back. It's been fun, if a little lighter in tone than I generally prefer from my sci-fi.
Hindsight being 20-20, I think they needed to push a more serialized narrative those first few episodes. Many sci-fi fans are turned off by procedurals, no matter how clever or well-done they may be. |
Re: Timeless (S1E14) -- "The Lost Generation" -- 2/6/17
It seems obvious to me that Flynn is using the journal from the future to fix the past.

I just remembered the show time travel show Journeyman which NBC did in the fall of 2007. I really liked that show and I was sad when it got canned. I remember liking it at the time because I was bored with the various cop, doctor, and lawyer shows.

This show is one of the few that has spurred discussion in our home, and research on the Internet to learn more about the history. I'd take a different approach from many in this thread and lighten it up a little more and push it back to 7 pm. Let it be a family lead in, but with the drama and action it currently has. This is the kind of show you could possibly get US schools (or at least homeschools) behind if done right, and they would be a steady, loyal audience. |
Re: Timeless (S1E14) -- "The Lost Generation" -- 2/6/17
Let's face it. Time travel episodic television will never be more than niche.
Time Trax, 7 Days, 12 Monkeys, Journeyman, Timeless. Usually 1 or 2 seasons and that's it. |
