Trivia
This was a backdoor pilot for a science fiction series which was not picked up. The same was true of Rule of Law (2001).

Goofs
In 1969, the five-year-old Lorelle asks permission to watch television in her parents' room. When she leaves, Angie explains to the older Lorelle that "it's Smothers Brothers night." However, April 14, 1969 was a Monday and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (1967) aired on Sundays. As such, the relevant episode, Episode #3.25 (1969), aired on April 13, 1969.

Quotes
Nicholas Prentice: One never knows what time will bring.

Just Too Many Dangers in Time Travel Into the Past

The characters in this episode have been seen before. I didn't realize that there was a possibility that the organization portrayed may have been a pilot for a new series. I guess it never worked out. As with almost any time travel offering, this pushes the envelope, including the disappearance of one of the characters. It has to do with the recruiting of a really tiresome young woman who has been given the opportunity of a lifetime (actually, she is saved from the reaper by these people) and has no interest in playing by the rules. Also, the idiot young man who allows this woman to run free so he can impress her should have been left behind. There are some scenes from the counterculture of the sixties which is the landscape for this. The young woman gets it in her head that she can rescue her father who was killed during a demonstration (and thought to be coward) and she ignores the fact that she could be ripping the continuum. I am less enthusiastic about this than some because it has a kind of slickness that makes it look cheap.
