The King of the Delta Blues

A great episode that looks at a legendary blues singer not many people heard off and who arguably led to foundation of Rock n Roll. As they simply put it the start of many things to come began with two men in a hotel room producing music.

The team dynamics are tense. Lucy and Flynn surprisingly grow close and it was interesting to see the two spend the night together. Meanwhile Jia tells Rufus of a chilling premonition that he dies in the next episode, so far her visions have all come true. What was most exciting about this episode was Connor Mason the inventor used his own invention for the first time. It is beyond me why he never once wanted to try this to go back in time. However he made a fun and great addition to the team.

Unique part of history, great story, good tension and decent build up.

Solid 8/10

I have to talk about this episode because it really annoyed me reading the review from a person saying this episode was ridiculous and like unnecessary. I've loved the whole series and I am up to this one and all of them have been fantastic it's the best time travel series I've ever seen in fact. But this was the first episode that inspired me to do research on the subject matter and person because the first time there was an historical character I had not heard of or known. And it led me to so many stories and articles on Robert Johnson. So that reviewer who seems to indicate that Robert Johnson wasn't the forerunner to rock n roll and therefore a revolution is so wrong. Maybe they should do their research too. So this episode was different and that's what was so brilliant and it featured so many other revelations that are obviously heading for the finale which I'm not going to watch ahead of time but following on episodic television at the moment. Because I seriously will be sad for it to end as well as being excited about how it will at the same time. This series and this episode is just amazing.

Sweet moments, explosions, close calls, plot twists, great historical figures, amazing music!

Every episode is a unique and interesting, colorful joyride through history. I have a master's degree and I have a continuous student of History, please believe me when I tell you that those who rate the show any less than an 8 just don't get it. Open your mind, recall your history but try not to apply too much, and enjoy the ride! It's an absolute blast!

This episode was balanced perfectly. Learning a bit more about Conner Mason and Rufus' relationship was wonderful for adding character depth to both of them. We see a dejected Mason gain some much-needed confidence. We see Wyatt struggling with and coming to realize the depth of his feelings for Lucy, we see Lucy learning to trust Flynn and Flynn working desperately hard to gain that trust. Just about every character has a vital role to play in this episode. Even the normally boring Agent Christopher has her moments in this one when she scolds Wyatt and lets her (dare I say it) emotions get the better of her. There is so much in this episode that works.
