The pilot can take it to the physical location he wants to go to. As for the later question the tracking by Mason Industries for Homeland Security is getting better. It is how they know where to go to when a specific date doesn't line up with a big event like the assassination of President Lincoln.

I read a review on a site that guesses the cancellation possibilities of new shows and Timeless is on the bubble. It's not getting the numbers it should following The Voice. The review said the first two episodes were a little weak, but this third episode was beginning to get it together and the cast is beginning to gel. The teases about their backstories is interesting, too. I love this show and hope it doesn't get cancelled.

I'm enjoying this show, but wonder if there is going to be this other effects on the main timeline that they don't even see. It's not only the big things which determine our fates, but the little ones, like which route to walk. One is wet, so you take the dry one. But its got major potholes, and it delays you, or you fall, and something small but important doesn't happen. This small event feeds into a larger one. You make it back with a sore leg, but to a place that's not the same anymore.

Would you be able to tell, or when you were incorperated into that newly revised timeline, would you see it as 'normal' since the other is now split off without you?

Who was it in trek who said time travel was such a headache?

Maybe because on the return trip, even small things could have made a difference, and altered its pathway?

All you need to know is that I like it and therefor it will be cancelled. Seems to be a pattern.

Whoever did the casting for this show must have had in mind that Hollywood had been recently scolded for "not enough diversity" in acting roles. Indeed, a Black man is playing the role of one of the time travel bosses; a good thing. But the additional casting of a Black man as one of the three time travelers to the past has, I'm sorry to say, become detrimental to believability.

History buffs know that up until recently, segregation generally precluded almost all fraternization between the races. When the threesome revealed themselves as a "team" to select characters in the episodes, it was hard to buy in the Lincoln episode, in the early 1960's episode, and in the Hindenburg episode. But this week, they go back to Nazi Germany. Really? The Armed Forces were still segregated in WWII. There would not have been an integrated threesome of even "secret agents" then, yet in every episode, people they meet are completely unsurprised that they are a team. Just doesn't ring true.

I dislike the possibility that the bad guys are really the good guys and they don't let the viewer know which is which. This plot device has been used way too much lately and it is getting boring.

They keep hinting to the woman that Rittenhouse is the bad element, but they never give out with any real information that she could look into. All because they want to milk the plot along to the end of the first season or beyond. I tend to lose interest before the end of the season in these type of shows and stop watching.

Before the Bra came off the thought crossed my mind that it certainly was different to see a male and a female locked up in the same jail cell. Then, like you, wondered why the wire could not be removed without embarrassing her. Then that tiny little wire to move the parts of that heavy cell lock.
