    well,, better ... i gotta say it ,, it is getting really better.

    So i am one of the harshest critics of the show and even the whole renewal thing didn't go well down my throat ,, but it is actually getting better ,,

    With Wayatt's wife back "i like her, hope they stay together for ever",, and with Flynn on the team ,, also i like him , he has that witty British sense of humor the show is now having more structure and solid clear genre.

    I feel a bit proud that i had that bit of hope last year when season 1 ended , which kept me watching the show ,,, so keep it up ,, but again ,, we need to see more of Flynn.

    Wow JFK

    Timeless made a unique and great episode this week involving the iconic JFK.

    Emotions and tensions are also at play here among the team especially with Lucy and Wyatt. As a JFK and Kennedy enthusiast who's enjoyed reading and watching about the family they got their facts right.

    What was unique was the majority of the episode was set in the present which is a first for this show. Most episodes have been throughout history while a lot of it was set in the present. It was also rare to have someone from the past return, none other than JFK himself. Great episode however I personally do prefer seeing them travel in the past.

    7.8/10

    Switching it up

    This episode is interesting in that it's not the Time Team going back in time, but having to track down someone they brought back from the past. The added stress of Wyatt's undead wife living in the bunker is apparent and we see why Lucy Preston is one of the best female characters ever written. She's selfless, she's kind and she's not afraid to defend the people she loves. Even though she's in an unintended love triangle she is all grace and deference.

    • Trivia
      This is the first episode not to show Wyatt, Rufus, or Lucy in the past, although Wyatt and Rufus are seen boarding the Lifeboat at the end of the episode. The only character actually shown in the past is Flynn.
    • Goofs
      Wyatt hides behind the corner of an interior wall at the party when shots are fired at him. The bullets penetrate the facing side but he is unharmed. In reality, the drywall would not stop the bullets and he would have been injured.
    • Quotes

      Lucy Preston: Oh, my god. Please tell me that's not who I think it is.

      Rufus Carlin: It's not who you think it is, unless you think it's a young JFK. Then it's definitely who you think it is.
