The show isn't really doing anything for me. The fact they go back in time doesn't seem to really matter, they could be in similar situations in a present time action show.
For instance the team being caught and locked in a room, was just meh, and could have been done in the present. Yes of course being a time travel show there are changes to the time line, but even they don't really seem that interesting. |

Shall we just say that your perspective is ... er ... um ... unique?
I ALMOST wrote in my last comment that the show could be any genre, it's such generic sci-fi time travel. I'm very much enjoying it, but so far, it's weak in terms of actual sci-fi content. I would like much more, but then again, for the kind of show it is, that's very unlikely. |

Merely having a time-travel device doesn't make it SF - just like the TARDIS doesn't make Dr. Who SF. Or having a spaceship / aliens doesn't make anything SF. It's merely a prop for the story - and the story is just a set of episodic dramas with a very familiar basis: mission-based adventure with "evil" (although that has yet to be determined) antagonists trying to fulfill a mission and protagonists trying to stop them. Traditional cops'n'robbers stuff. |

Oh, it has no SciFi content whatsoever.
Traditional cops'n'robbers stuff. Makes zero sense. I know it's a story but they could write that all into the story. I just HATE stupid heroes! |

LOL "Sorry Agent Maulder" rolleyes
Oh and we find out there is a black woman who helped save the day. More and more we are finding out that White rich men didn't do everything in history. But of course they have to be shown to be sexist. "Get me a coffee love" rolleyes |

The incessant hero worship everytime they see someone and we still don't know what is going on. We still have the episode Wyatt meets hs wife and attempts to save her. It I all so predictable. |

I enjoyed the NASA episode but otherwise I'm getting bored on this now. Most of the episodes are just too similar and the ongoing story just makes no sense at all.

I wonder whether we think we are watching the good guys but actually Flynn and his team are the good guys. Especially after Flynn grabbed Lucy and took her. Maybe to show her the truth.
But I don't believe that Lucy is Flynn's wife. That doesn't make sense. Happy to be proved wrong though |
