The production value is sky high, the performances great, and the characters are just interesting enough to make it fun to watch them gallivanting around the time stream. Each week the trio gets to explore a new era, teach the audience just a little bit about history, and visit all new environments with all new ornate costumes. This is a good little adventure show, and my 10-year-old self would love it. This seems like it will keep the continuity somewhat linear, though it will prevent the crew from returning to the 90s to capitalize on millennial nostalgia just in time for sweeps week. They also can’t return to another time that they already visited to erase any mistakes they made. That means they can’t go back one day and stop the terrorist from stealing the time machine in the first place. Timeless is smart enough to include one rule into its founding mythology: the time travelers can’t go back to any time where another version of themselves already exists.
Their first mission has to do with the crash of the Hindenburg and we hear all of the usual time travel truisms, about how if they change anything it will have disastrous results in the present, that some awful events are fated to occur, and if they leave their guns behind the technology might end up leading to a such advanced science that we might get to Mars before Kim Kardashian ever became a reality star (messing with history can’t be all bad!). There’s no time in American history that will be fun for me.” Rufus is also the reluctant pilot of their own time machine – as he says: “I’m black. She’s teamed up with Wyatt Logan (Matt Lanter), a special ops military guy as her muscle, and Rufus Carlin (Malcolm Barrett), a computer programmer who works for the Elon Musk-esque mogul (Paterson Joseph). Lucy Preston (Abigail Spencer) is a historian and anthropologist who is called in by the Department of Homeland Security when “terrorist” Garcia Flynn (Goran Visnjic) steals a billionaire tech genius’s time machine with a band of thugs and goes back into the past to start monkeying around with history. Luckily, Timeless, NBC’s new time travel adventure show, only has one of these problems.
My larger problem is that trying to figure out what may or may not happen to any timeline due to a character messing around with continuity is so convoluted that it makes the inside of my skull itch.
