NBC's ''Timeless''

[Dark Raven]

she should just write "**** you Flynn" over an over again on every single page lol to see if his copy changes

Won't his copy change whatever she writes, because she's writing history now as she goes along, and it will reflect whatever he has in his hands (because it's a future copy)?

So on a more serious note, even if she tries not to document her trips in the same way, he'll have whatever she has. But he ought to really have photographed the journal too to have a different copy, because if his copy changes, will he remember what was originally in it? But alternatively, will his photograph of it also change accordingly if she writes something different now?

It boggles my mind why Wyatt just doesn't go back to the time and place of his wife's murder and stops it. It makes me think that his future self is responsible for killing her, inadvertly.....as I mentioned on the previous page.

Aren't they not allowed to intervene in a timeline they exist in?

 

[Golgo-13]

Not sure. I think the risk is that they run into themselves. That being said, Wyatt was willing to break all kinds of rules last ep, so I doubt that was even a concern.

Did they even mention where he was when she was murdered, and the cause..?

 

[Dark Raven]

Is it a rule that Mason Industries and Rittenhouse have imposed?

Or is it an actual rule of time travel, that they can't go back to a time where they've actually been, because of some kind of temporal implosion from running into another version of themselves?

It would be interesting to see if they do break this rule.

But aren't they doing that already next week? I thought they've already run into Elliot Ness and Al Capone before not that long ago. Didn't they have to help Elliot Ness out?

 

[ComicChick]

Wait, since they prevented the serial killer from being born how did Lucy know about him when they got back? When they travel to the past and change something, the people that remain in the present are unaware of the change because, to them, it's just how it is. Just like in the Ian Fleming ep; when they returned, there was a whole new James Bond movie add to the series based on their adventures that was common knowledge to everyone that remained in the present but new to them...so based on that logic, only Wyatt and Rufus should know about the serial killer, prison visit, etc..

since Lucy is from the original Timeline, I feel like she remembers everything that originally happened.
remember when she took the necklace with the photo of her and her sister in it into the time machine? it came back with her when she came back to the present, but her sister didn't exist anymore.
so i just like to think that since lucy goes in and returns that she has never changed /headache

its heavily argued that they shouldn't

Not sure. I think the risk is that they run into themselves. That being said, Wyatt was willing to break all kinds of rules last ep, so I doubt that was even a concern.

i remember them saying something about if they meet their selves in that timeline that it could be disastrous
if i recall, he and she had gotten into a fight or argument and part of his regrets is that he didn't go after her

wasn't that Bonnie and Clyde? are we thinking of the same episode?
i think they can meet other people again, but meeting themselves seems to be the problem.

 

[Dark Raven]

No it wasn't Bonnie and Clyde. It was definitely Al Capone. I think Flynn somehow empowered him in some way or gave him a heads up so that he was able to drive out Elliot Ness before he could even begin his takedown, and then the time team had to help Ness out. And then I think Al Capone captured one of the team at the end and they had to rescue him at the docks. And they gave Ness the idea of getting Capone on tax fraud.

 

[dude stannis]

That's right, they play by Timecop rules baby! t:

Plus the idea is Wyatt's wife was missing for ages before being found dead and I fully expect that we'll get an episode where Wyatt follows her and is forced to kill her because she's a Rittenhouse agent.

Wasn't that a Legends of Tomorrow episode?

For ages? Thought they simply had a fight at a bar or something and she stormed off only to be found dead the next day.

 

[Dark Raven]

Was it? Maybe it was. These time travel shows are beginning to all blend into one.

Unless there's been an alteration to the timeline, and I remember an episode now which no-one else remembers.

I swear she was a missing persons case for a while.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Ness and Capone were in Legende of tomorrow.
Bonnie and Clyde were in Timeless.

 

[Dark Raven]

I'm wondering how they can steal the Lifeboat a second time. Wouldn't there be security measures in place of that since it was just stolen a couple of episodes ago? And plus Flynn also stole the Mothership.

With the first theft of the Lifeboat, you can understand, because it could look like Wyatt forced Rufus. The second time round though, how can they use that excuse again? And it looks like it's all three of the time team going along this time round.

Won't they all be detained or arrested upon returning? They need a new base of operations. But where else can house the Lifeboat?

Maybe that was an episode of Frequency (another time travel show).

Rewatching the preview it seems that after the launch, Rufus is able to pilot it to another spot in present time out of Mason/Rittenhouse radar and they pick up Wyatt. Because like you stated. They aren't going to pull off that scheme with the new security measures in place.
The real trouble for them will be the return trip. Which would probably require them to ditch Wyatt's 2nd replacement in the past because he'll talk.

well like a lot of these shows they pick and choose which of the rules to strictly follow, not interceding directly into a point in time where they exist is one they seem to stick to.

I honestly can't remember exactly, but it was a case of him choosing not to go with her though and blaming himself for what happened, if I remember rightly.

Now that would be a twist!

Ok. They can pull that off once. But how many replacements are Mason Industries going to supply? Are there so many soldiers who are qualified? And Mason/ Rittenhouse are not going to believe them sooner or later. One dying in the past is understandable, because he was a relative novice. If they all keep disappearing, then it will surely arouse suspicion. Even now with the one who died, that probably raises some red flags.

And wouldn't ditching someone in the past risk potentially altering the timeline? Surely they'd also think that is a horrible fate to befall someone.

How is the Mothership able to remain elsewhere after it was initially stolen? Do they have a team of technicians? After Matt Frewer was killed off, there's only the new woman. But before that, Frewer was the only scientist. Don't they need more of them to operate these time ships?

Does Rufus fly it completely on his own or is he guided in at all on his return journey by the team left behind at Mason industries?

 

[Dark Raven]

So with Annie Wersching cast in Runaways as one of the parents, does she know something about the fate of Timeless and whether there is a season 2?

Unless her character doesn't play anymore, or the scheduling allows her to be in both shows.

I really hope it's renewed. There feels like so much more that can be done with this, and it's already nearly over.

 

[ComicChick]

i think rufus flies it in on his own

the time that the machine got damaged, gia had to pull it out of space a la the millenium falcon

 

[Marvolo]

The new guy getting killed like a doofus on his first mission was funny.

 

[Dark Raven]

Rufus and Doofus.

 

[ComicChick]

The new guy getting killed like a doofus on his first mission was funny.

it was, but in a way i'm kinda glad they did it. it shows how dangerous what they're doing really is. wasn't he a friend of Wyatt's too? same unit or something? that's gonna suck for Wyatt to lose a friend because he got himself kicked off the job

 

[X-Ray]

Bam Bam ****ed up by not bringing a modern weapon with him.

She's only on Timeless as a recurring guest star, her character either dies, she knows it won't be back or she wasn't aware what was happening but went with the guaranteed gig. Hulu and NBC can negotiate her scheduling - it may work out as a second season of Timless likely wouldn't start until July.

I thought it may have had a chance on Fridays next season with Grimm ending in March and Emerald City fading fast. However this week's live rating had a big drop - see how it ends with the final two episodes.
