    Great end to the season, Season 2 Please!

    A great episode to end this great TV series about time travel.

    I decided to write a review for this since the other and only review is one about Lucy's clothes, clothes really?

    The team travel back in time to stop Flynn and try and end Rittenhouse forever. Lucy and Flynn end up working together for the first time and plan to end the evil group with the help of her own grandfather.

    I love how the episode showed how the series might end but later reveals some loose ends that need to tied up. The biggest bombshell is how far Lucy and her family is involved in Rittenhouse, including her own mother. How Rittenhouse has now got control of the lifeboat, the teams worst nightmare. Flynn who has managed to evade the authorities and everyone manages to finally get arrested feeling Lucy betrayed him. This should set up a season 2 really well for his escape and vengeance.

    I hope to god they renew this show for another season, so far things look good. It is a great show and is very entertaining. I have always been fascinated by time travel and finally they have made a great show with likable characters about it.

    Season is Poorly written Fractured Timeline Scenario Iminant

    Although the special looked realistic and pleasant while the announcement of spring 2018 sounds like a government terror alert red issue. The ending didn't have a solution for the season finale which could have been written with enough time and research with some more editing from the screenplay.

    Goran character in the story was not created well since the first and the last episode has some man from the future in the Hindenburg episode while in this episode the man who gives her the book from the the future, which is the same journal only aged. Another generation of Lucy Preston's offspring gone ISIS/AXIS POWERS/AL Queda? I wouldn't believe the writing team were communicating with each other while the process didn't have enough team work to make this successful.

      This was going to be the last episode of the series, as NBC announced on May 10th, 2017, that it was being canceled. However, the internet "erupted" with protests the next day, and the network's response was unprecedented. On May 13th, 2017, NBC "uncanceled" the show and ordered 10 more episodes.
    • Goofs
      It was established earlier in the season that Lucy and Amy had different fathers, which is why only Amy ceased to exist.
    • Quotes

      Wyatt Logan: So if you exist, that means grandpa was, like, way deep in the closet.

      Lucy Preston: It's 1954. You could be arrested for being gay.

      Wyatt Logan: [spotting someone checking him out] He's looking at me like I'm a piece of meat.

      Lucy Preston: [sarcastic] Can't imagine what that's like.
