Re: The Time Traveler's Wife (HBO) - S: Theo James, Rose Leslie -- From EP & Creator Steven Moffat - 5/15

I caught up on a couple of episodes on this earlier this week. I would say the 4th episode is the best of the season and the 5th was OK. Need to watch the final episode still but I thought the show was pretty decent all things considered. The way the show ragged on Back to the future was pretty funny.

Also, I was sort of stunned by the girl that plays the sister, for a moment I thought that they had de-aged Rose, the sister is funny and cute as heck (and 20 so I don't feel too gross saying that LOL)

wrapped this up over the weekend. If you have not started it, while the show does not end on a cliffhanger per se they are setting this up for a second season. Having read and enjoyed the book, and watched and enjoyed the movie I found the pacing of this show to be overly slow. Not too sure if I will watch a second season. only so much Theo James buttocks one man can see in a lifetime. If not for Rose I might have bailed on this already. Also, I really did not need to see the scene with Theo and Theo twice, people that have seen the show will know.

You're not kidding. It was ridiculous that they had to show it every single time he traveled, and when he was walking around. We got it after the first few times, really.

I'm also unsure we'll watch a second season. It felt a bit long, as it was.

I had no idea this wasn't going to be a Limited Series and assumed they dropped certain aspects of the movie (book?) for the show. I guess now with it possibly getting a second season that makes sense.

Still enjoyed this one. I was really glad they kept putting the ages on screen, because honestly, I'd forget what he looked like as he got older/younger.

I really don't mind this being one and done. There was not so much a cliffhanger that the story holds on its own. Just knowing the book and how that ended it's too bad they milked this to try and expand it to a second season
Spoiler:
I actually think if they finished the book and showed the kid time-traveling successfully and that there are others doing it too they could have expanded the universe easily and gone to a second season. Not a cash grab, but a dumb move to pace this so damn slow.
