Travelers: Season 1

Hey Guys,

i started watching Travelers. I am a big fan of Sci-Fi-Series. Maybe you guessed that already. The summary of the serie doesn’t really got me. I wouldn’t had watched it if it weren’t for my parents. My parents watched the serie and when i got down to get something to drink i saw a few parts of the serie. What made me watch it was a character – Travor. I think it is a scene in the fourth episode. He got question and just his whole way of answering the question. His voice, his pyschical speech and the words… were so intriguing. I fall in love in that moment and so i obviously had to watch the serie.

Plot

The story is nothing special. People from the future coming to the past to save the earth or the human kind. They do this with taking over the bodies of people that die. To be totally correct the took over in the moment of the death of that person. There is this one person that is the boss. You don’t know who he is or what he really wants just that he has plans and rules. Also he doesn’t like it if they do their own thing.
It is a plot you have seen a hundred times.

Characters

Like i said in the beginning i fall in love with Trevor and Trevor is the reason i fall in love with the serie. At the beginning he was the only one i really liked. Trevor is the technishion of the group and he is also the oldest in the youngest body. He is a sunshine. Really i love everything about him. He is sacrist and intelligent. He hates bullies and thiefs. He know what is right and wrong and he cares deeply. From my point of view he is the one that is in controll of most of the situations they are in. Like the episode i fall in love with him. I don’t want to say to much but the team got captured and the ‘fighter’ of the group should really be in controll of the situation but he really handles it badly. Trevor is the only one that actually is in controll of the situation or would have been if they would have let him handle the situation.
The ‘fighter’ combat specialist wakes in the body of woman that get hit by her boyfriend and have a baby. Which brings a lot of complications for her. But trust be told i never really get warm with her. She also is the lover of the leader of the team. The leader of the team is a ‘Hodge’- Guy (for everyone that knows Criminal Minds). Someone how cares for the team and became like a father figure. He is working for the FBI but isn’t doing such a good job. At the start i didn’t like him very much but he grows on me and like his wife that he have in the past.
Philip is the historien of the group that knows all the dates and numbers. He gets in the boby of a junkie. That is one of the reason i really find him annoying because he is mostly high, but when the story developes i start to like him too.
Marcy is the healer of the group. The ironic thing is that he is trap in a body were the brain is underdeveloped which brings alot of complications. She is slowly dying. She is one of the person many people love. She is nice and always wants to help and her relationship with David – her socialworker – is really sweet.
So everyone of them has to deal with their own little or big problems and between all that they have to save the earth.

Watching or not

Go watch this serie!! I need a second season. The plot is maybe not new and original. Sometimes you can say what will happen really good but the characters are amazing and you beginn to love them and wants to see how they try to get through their problems. You find yourself wishing them a happy life and forget that this is not what the get and i think they forget it too. You rule for them and their relationships. You want to see them save the earth. You want to protect them – especially Trevor. Proteced Trevor Holden at all cost.
So yeah please go and look the serie. A lot of question did get answered but some are and the next season could have a really interessting plot.
