Timeless: Season 1

Hey Guys,

welcome to my thoughts about Timeless the first season. I haven’t watched it at first because Time Travel stories most of the time disappoint me. Doctor Who is one of the very little that I really enjoyed without thinking that it just doesn’t make any sense. Which is here a problem too. Later more to it. Timeless has so far two seasons and it doesn’t look good for the third season. For people who don’t like ending series with an OPEN end than stop here. Season two ends on a massive cliffhanger. But now to the series itself.

The Team

This is the reason I stayed with the series. First things first. Mason Industries developed a working Time Machine. This Time Machine got stolen be a man called Garcia Flynn. This man has a diary from the main characters Lucy – the Lucy from the future. So to stop Flynn Homeland security choose a team to follow the time machine into the past with the ‘Life Boat’ the first version of the time machine.
Agent Christopher who leads this mission. Three people can travel in the life boat. So they need a pilot. That would be Rufus, who already worked for Mason Industries and helped building the time machine. Than there would be a soldier Wyatt. His job would be to kill Flynn. The last person would be a historian – in this Lucy.

Working together

At first Rufus is really insecure about all of this. He is not a big fan of the time traveling for good reasons. He is black and there is not much time that is actually nice for him. The good thing about this series is that it actually showed that the times are bad for black people. Wyatt is the typical soldier type in this shows. He doesn’t care much about history. He is the one I can identify the most. Because he can’t just stand by and watch people die. Even when history already was written. Lucy is the one that is trying to don’t change anything. She believes that history has to be protected the way it was.
The team plays them in your heart very fast. This relationship between this three are amazing and I love them.

Changing History

I love history. There is not much good in the history of the countries.Slavery, mass murder to just name a few. But the different culture devolving. The people who stood up and fought for their believes. Is amazing and should be remembered. I personally know little to nothing of the american history. But that makes this series even more interesting for me.
What I dislike about the series is how they ran around changes things. Of course they show you that it has consequences. But people not even know it. The future changes so much all the time in the series… that is why I hate this stuff.
But I like the thoughts of the team. How they questioned letting things happen. Like save Lincoln and kill Werner von Braun for example.

Watching or not

If Timeless ends like that it is really bad but the series is still good. I really like the dynamic between the team and the big mystery is not getting answered but still I would watch it. It is just fun.
