I imagine Wyatt was arrested, though it seems like that they'll have to manufacture some reason why he'll be allowed back on the team. I figured the serial killer was lying about being the one who killed Wyatt's wife. Maybe even Flynn put him up to it? Anthony Bruhl's reveal about the motive of Rittenhouse was too vague to feel satisfying. The show has been saying that Rittenhouse's plan was more diabolical than Flynn's all along. Lucy going to see her father was a cool ending. They're expressing doubts that the show will get a second season over at AV Club. I just looked up the show's ratings and they don't seem to be all that bad. But with people watching on various platforms these days, I'm not sure what it takes to keep a show alive anymore. |

Me e ither. I know it's a favorite with my students who often (unusually, these days it seems) watch with parents, who get to tell their kids stuff. One kid said it makes his dad feel smart. :P I agree the Bruhl reveal was underwhelming. We need some clarity with the whole big picture. |

I really enjoyed this weeks episode. I think I'm learning a lot more about history (Hemingway and Lindbergh for sure)than when I was in school. Things are definitely getting interesting. I really hope this show makes it to season 2. |

Yeah I loved the Lindbergh episode. I posted it to FB. :P I didn't realize it has a a short episode order. I'm hoping for S2 too. The wonky, badly plotted stuff about Rittenhouse and Garcia Flynn is dragging the show. So if they fix that it could be awesome. But I see the numbers are weak. On the bubble with a negative slide. :-( |

Perhaps there was some relevance to all of the melodrama between the Capone brothers but it was lost on me. I would have rather spent time with characters that I cared about. I was mostly disappointed in that episode, especially considering we might only have 1 episode left of the series. At least my expectations for the finale are lowered. |

Interesting ending. Enjoyed many of those character moments. Lucy meeting Ethan. Ethan watching the time machine disappear. And even if their conversations have become repetitive, I still love it when Lucy and Flynn have their little spats. But wow, they really bulldozed over the plot. Felt like they needed another half hour if not another full hour. I wonder of there are a bunch of deleted scenes somewhere, or they just didn't even bother. |

I haven't watched yet, but I haven't seen that it was canceled. You sound rather disappointed in the show Bilki... |

The disappointment is my own fault, though, lol. The things that annoy about the show have been there from the start, and no one is holding a gun to my head. But I just love Abigail Spencer (even though her character here is so different from Amantha on Rectify), so I've stuck with it. And there are other things I like about it, or I wouldn't have made it this far into the season. I enjoy talking about any show that I watch, even if it's just to complain about it. :D Edited by bilki, Feb 22 2017, 10:46 PM.

I've been watching, but not talking about this show. One week I fell asleep waiting for it to start, so I got behind with the episodes. |

Of course, I watched the last episodes of Rectify, I just didn't watch it in a timely manner. It still rates very highly. I thought Timeless was good for genre, and liked how the makeup of the cast was mentioned when traveling like how hard it is for some based on race or gender in the past. |

Yes, it felt more like a finale than the end of a season. I agree, it was rushed and i did not like the end at all! |

Is anyone going to watch the S2 premiere tomorrow (Sunday, March 11) night? Alan Sepinwall says they've tinkered with the concept a bit and praised the first four episodes for it. |

Watching it live unlike how I watch most other things...hopefully due to that silly time change won't fall asleep. |

I enjoyed it. I am really confused now about the sister and the mother. It was good to see Flynn |

That was fun. I liked that Lucy's mother (Carol) is a major player in Rittenhouse and that we got to see her travel in time. Emma is no-nonsense and maybe even diabolical. I can't remember how much we learned about her last season when she was traveling with Flynn but she seemed to have no problem killing anyone in her way on this mission. I'd be happy to have every attempt of Lucy and Wyatt to kiss interrupted just because I think the tension between them is more interesting. Of course, Flynn doesn't show up until the last minute. What were you confused about? |

Does the mother know about the sister? Or did they change history to totally erase the sister all together? |

From what Emma said, somehow the mother knows about the sister (Amy) and told Emma to go in the mother ship and make it so Amy can never come back. Although, that could be a lie or only partially true. Emma isn't exactly a reliable source. Maybe they turned her into one of the sleeper agents? We probably won't find out until the last episode of this season, lol. |

I really enjoy this show, despite some flaws. I was a bit confused too - either I didn't remember all of the finale stuff (esp. Emma and the blowup of the Lifeboat lab), or I dozed off a few minutes. If this were Netflix I would have watched the 3 minute recap trailer. :D I agree - realistic separation of Wyatt and Lucy would play better...but not the kind of contrived, drawn out mess some shows use to keep their romances unrequited. |

The S1 finale ended with a shot of Emma getting into the Mother ship as Carol was telling Lucy that Rittenhouse would never allow her (Lucy) to go back and find Amy/do something that might restore Carol's cancer. I watched it OnDemand to get myself in the mood before I watched the S2 premiere. The explosion at Mason Industries was almost a blink-and-you-miss-it moment in this new episode. I'm still not sure how they got the Lifeboat to the new, secret location without anyone from Rittenhouse noticing but I had some suspension of disbelief on hand, lol. |

Yes. This episode was a good blend of the history, the character development, and the Rittenhouse plot. I'm still a little sketchy on the Rittenhouse manifesto from WWI guy, a little skeptical they can redeem Garcia, and a little WTF and annoyed with Wyatt's SO being "re-timed." Reading the keep/cancel stuff, they seem to have a decent chance at renewal again. |

A nice twist with Wyatt's wife showing up. I was groaning that they spent so much time on Wyatt and Lucy slobbering all over each other during the trip to Hollywood. Hedy Lamarr was a fun "guest star" but I wasn't a fan of that mission. On the previous episode with the race car drivers, I was most intrigued by what could happen when you send a Rittenhouse agent back in time, and then he decides he has his own ideas. I guess that's why they sent Emma back to check on him, but they didn't explore the issue much after that. |

Stupid time runover means i can't see the finale until it's onDemand. I still really like this one. CancelBear only gives it a 25% chance. :'( Didn't realize "Rise" was already cancelled. Ah well... |

I watched the end on NBC.com. From what I'm reading the end was like a dare for them to cancel it. |

I didn't watch this show, but read enough good things that I will likely try to watch it in the future... I like(d) (have to watch the finale yet) Rise, but am not terribly upset that it's not getting a second season. If it had, I would have watched it, though... |
