Just caught the first episode and I like it. I know that time traveling plot has been used a lot; even the show that appears before it. Some might think its a Quantum Leap ripoff but I actually don't mind since time traveling has always been interesting and fun to watch.

I have it on the DVR, still debating if I should watch it. -
Re: Journeyman
First episode was decent. Good enought to get me to watch a few more. One of the things I like is that when he goes back he really has no clue what he's supposed to do. So there is more of a mystery element to it than QL had. Not to mention the crazy stuff with his smokin hot ex-gf.
Only thing i dont like about it is the chick who plays his wife. There is something about her face that just turns my stomach. I realyl wish they'd kill her off.Comment

Re: Journeyman
Seriously the ex fiance is hot as hell, that'll keep me watching. Her name is Moon Bloodgood, i remember she was in daybreak.
I do like the drama in it where he has to deal with everyone thinking he is a drug addict or he's crazy and trying to battle his emotions with his present wife and past fiance which obviously is his first love. Plus how can Dan end up marrying his brothers ex girlfriend? I guess its all part of saving the world.Comment

Re: Journeyman
Sounds a bit like Early Edition, one of my favorite shows ever. It had the coach from Friday Night Lights and he got tomorrow's newspaper every day. Got cancelled after a few seasons though because they couldn't afford to keep shooting on location in Chicago. Might have to give this show a try.Comment

Re: Journeyman
Didn't catch the first episode (I will eventually online) but caught the second.
Left impressed with the show. Does have a strong Quantum Leap feel to it especially with trying to connect things.
I like the sub-story going on with his wife. Definitely makes things interesting. Guess my Mondays are now 8-11."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Journeyman
I liked the 2nd episode a lot. The ongoing wife/brother/boss sub story is pretty quality, and then they'll have the new time travel story every week. I think they're still early on, give it to halfway and they'll have a really cool show. After 2 episodes it's high on my list.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

Re: Journeyman
Vassar missed a deadline due to a time travel thing in the first issue. The boss is a friend, but still a boss. They all had set up an intervention (the guy crashed his car in the first one disappearing back in time). The boss is just another person who'll be impacted by the time travel.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

Re: Journeyman
Its too bad I missed this show. I really like McKidd from Rome, I'll have to check it out next week. How was he in this show?Comment

Re: Journeyman
Ok so whoa.
I'm kinda watching the first episode on USA and unfortunately I had to be on the phone during the episode.
***SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T SEEN THE FIRST EPISODE***
How in the hell is the ex-fiance in her apartment and also in the hallway of her building? I didn't catch their dialogue and it looked like it was a wild experience for the protagonist. Yet, the ex-fiance seemed pretty calm about it as if she was aware of the situation.
What's that all about?"It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: Journeyman
I would love to get this answered as well, I couldnt figure it out and I watched the entire episode with no interruptions. The show seems decent, cant put my finger on it but something just doesnt flow well or mesh right, but its early so maybe it will get better as it goes on.Comment
