Didn't even know of it until now.

I never did see the movie, from start to finish. Caught parts of it, here and there, to get the gist of it, but I'm sure I missed some key moments.

I have watched the first 2 episodes. I may have missed a third.
I like it better than Timeless - but then Timeless also has a schedule conflict with another show I've watched.
They are working faithfully with the cause-effect cycle, and I have not conjured how the storyline will play out yet, the mysteries. I want more. But you must pay attention.

I tried to watch Frequency. Just can't. I dunno, it feels more personal and affective than Timeless. Timeless is a "what if" kind of fun, but I wish they would stop meeting up with Goran's character EVERY episode for no reason...(still want to call him "Luca" from ER)

Have watched all but one of the Stranger Things, and find it interesting, but I have one complaint.

THEY KILL OFF THE CHIC WITH GLASSES.

I used to BE her. Seriously. Same hairdo, same glasses, same colors, same body type. Same skinny-ass traitor "friend" that used me as a cover when she wanted to screw a guy I actually liked first.

The skinny bitch needed to die. Blowing off a fried and neglecting her for a guy??? She should have been red-shirted, not fought over and turned heroine...

Yep, still pisses me off today The good news is, in real life "skinny bitch" has her spouse leave her, he got custody of the kid, she gained 100 lbs and looks like the spitting image of her MOTHER. Karma works some days

You're not saying much, but enough to get me interested.

Dammit.

Time Travel ..... check
Sexy Girl(s) ..... check
Shootings and Killings ..... check
Sinister Govt./Big Corp. entity w/ unknown ulterior motive ..... check
Time paradoxes galore ..... check
Murderous villain w/ unknown goal(s) ..... check
Rugged Team Leader a bit of a scoundrel ..... check
Good (for tv) historical accuracy ..... check

What more could you want?

So I'm giving it a chance now. Much of what you say is spot on. Now, my main problem is the ...well, I'll go w/ the Butterfly effect. On the one hand they openly state their intent to ' not knock over a salt shaker ' so as to not change anything down the time line , but then...COMPLETELY CHANGE HISTORY IN NOT SMALL WAYS !! Good grief! Are these folks true imbeciles ?

This asinine attitude.. " But I love her... I MUST do something, no matter what the cost ! " is really grating me , and I'm assuming it'll only get worse with more episodes.

At least Sam and Al tried to FIX things, when Sam leaped from time to time...

THIS is why I get so turned off w/ time travel shows. ( those which don't include FIXED points, or Time Lords, of course )

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

I'm just a red pill guy in a room full of blue pill addicts.

The beauty of time travel is that events that have been changed in the past that create paradoxes in the present can at some point be undone. "Timeless" will no doubt keep screwing around with the past, and paradoxes will keep occurring. It might all be fixed by going back and preventing the creation of the time machines. It's network tv. I have no great expectations of anything, but so far, after 4 episodes, I'm finding it entertaining.

The most recent Timeless should have created more of a difference than just an extra James Bond movie. They got Von Braun to the allies almost a year before the war was over rather than afterwards. It would make sense for there to be an infinite number of changes, but how would they know unless they reviewed all of the world's history from that point until the present? They can't do that of course, since the review would have to be done by either Lucy, Rufus, or Wyatt, and that would bring the story to a halt for an episode in between each mission.

I agree. The subject of Von Braun and his staff has always bothered me. I liked the fact that "Timeless" did not portray him as a sympathetic figure, rather as a scientific zombie. "I shoot the rockets up. I'm not responsible for where they land". Give me a break! The guy was a war criminal. His rockets killed thousands of civilians, and everything he built was on the backs of slave labor under horrific conditions. Von Braun knew all that. I don't know how people like that live with themselves. He should have been hanged with the rest of the Nazi leaders at Nuremberg.

Timeless - so, caught up now. I can say there's some clever writing , but also some ridiculous plot lines, as well as some unnecessary historical nonsense being passed off as 'fact'.

Select to view spoiler:

Claims of the deaths caused by the V-2 rocket were in the 10's of 1000's, when the actual # is listed to be just 7,250. And , I'm guessing there weren't too many ( meaning ANY ) fancy parties being thrown while V-2 rockets were being launched, just outside castles, but I could be wrong.

* Then again, since they keep on screwing up history, maybe that is the 'accurate' history now ?

Dunno if this'll make the cut for another season, but there's decent enough potential for subplots to keep things interesting.
