001

I've been watching this show, and for the most part, it's been enjoyable. But this episode was absolutely ridiculous. I could predict the plot, if you can call the writing a plot. There are just some holes in this series and they are getting more glaring. There is no way five people (the loved pones) would believe the prospect of time travelers. And it just seems like if the travelers were from the future and more advanced than present humans, wouldn't they be smarter than to fall for predictable ploys that are being used by characters like Vincent?

In the little summery prior to the episode it says 'Vincent stays one step ahead of the team'. Um no. Vincent is 1,000 steps ahead of the team. The team's ideas on how to catch him seem like they originated from a group of 4yr olds. I'm no expert, but even I rolled my eyes every time a team member suggested a course of action. And then, when the group is reunited for the first time after a scary abduction, with no questions, and after hearing about time travel, what does MacLaren's wife do? Right, she walks up to him and slaps him. Yea, cause after hearing about time travel, that would be everyone's first reaction. smh... On a side note. The character of Carly needs a 'reset'. She just might be one of the most unlikable 'good guys' I've ever seen. Hell, I'm rooting for her to lose custody so the kid can get away from her psycho nutjob of a mother.

Travelers: Season two starts out with a flashback with the very first traveler played by Enciro Colantoni who was supposed to have died in the towers but ended up breaking all the protocols. Season 2 answers who and why the team was kidnapped and questioned. The team works thru their personal dilemmas and in a way answers how Covid was exposed to the world. This season's episodes reminded me of the Stargate series as Amanda Tapping had a few episodes and she directed a few episodes herself. By the end, the travelers were exposed to the world and they end up being considered terrorists. Overall it was a good season but the ending was confusing. Let's see where the third season takes the team.

This was an absolute travesty of a finale. I expected so much more. There is a line between tension and just poor plotting. Note to writers: just because you mistreat the main characters, does not mean you are writing good drama. This left me wanting to toss the show away. I will watch the next season - after I check out the synopses of the first few episodes to see if the plotting gets better.

All the new shows are now "goosing" their audience with clif-hangers. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it makes a mess. This is a mess.
