My wife endures a lot of Premier League Football with me so I couldn't dismiss her request for me to watch Notorious with her last night. It was alright but I doubt it will last. Don't really care for Piper Perabo.

I saw an ad for Timeless the other day and I was intrigued. Reading the wiki this has the potential to be a pretty interesting show. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Lasted 15 minutes with Kevin Can Wait. Terrible writing.

Writing wasn't great-the scenes with the hamburger ratio and the "Gyro-Bowl" were cringeworthy, and the paint ball-go-cart ending was juvenile.

I'm a fan of Taylor Spreitler (the daughter) and her unconventional boyfriend could be interesting. Jame's real life brother (the firefighter) is better than the generic lot of retired friends, but that's not saying much. I don't think the hot, fine wife is a negative but after the hamburger scene you're left wondering how much better she could have done.

There was some really bad stuff and some decent stuff-I'll give it some more episodes.

I applaud them for staying true to the concept and feel of the movies (not much scary visually). The storytelling is good so far and it keeps you thinking in what is real and what is imagined with the possessions going on. The music and atmosphere also line up with what the franchise stands for. This is thinking man's horror and not like "American Horror Story" or "The Strain" so it deserves every fair chance to succeed.

Premiering in 10 days.

TIMELESS wiki

Looking at the trailer, this is my most anticipated new series of the season! The only thing to complain about so far, is the place where the time machine is housed. I may be wrong, but it looks like a warehouse with minimal security. These things should be locked up in Area 51 or somewhere like that so the criminal cannot get his hands on it.... But then, I suppose you have no story. I think they could have come up with a better premise to base the show on. I mean, once you catch the criminal, then what?

I like the girl too. She plays the sister in Rectify and Scotty on Suits.

I've never seen the movie(s) but the premiere was intriguing. I liked what was going on, there was a subtlety, something hard to describe but makes me want to keep watching, maybe my absence of knowledge from the films helps haha

Second episode of Kevin Can Wait was more entertaining, but I'm already sick of this effeminate douche boyfriend of the daughter.

Yeah, wish they just made him super nerdy instead of an oversensitive neurotic mess.

Kevin James is annoying when saddled with poor writing.

Still hanging in there....like the daughter, but her boyfriend is questionable.

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season

Just watched This Is Us and absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it. Both my wife and I openly cried. Such a great pilot episode.

The second episode was just as good. The final scenes in both episodes left you wanting more, such good writing. NBC have already given it an 18 episode full season.

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season

Timeless was good but you still have to deal with the myriad complications of time travel.

In this version you can't go back to any time where you already exist where you might meet a double of yourself....well you can try but not all of you may come back intact.So if you went back ten years would the younger you be considered a double?

The three time travelers will be touching base with their federal overseers in present time regularly and if the first episode is any indication they'll get a rundown of definitive changes in history based on their adventures in a particular time. For example the "new Hindenburg history" is met as obvious fact by the "ground team" in 2016, while the traveling trio explains their historical involvement in newly created history.

When the show ended the three are in present day to be called upon when needed and at least one has to deal with personal changes that occurred because of the Hindenburg "trip".

I enjoyed this very much. The story came full circle as the Hindenberg ended up crashing one way or another. Found it fascinating how little changes in the timeline may huge changes in the future where people cease to exist.

In the next few weeks, according to the previews, we'll see Abe Lincoln and Nazis. Can't wait!
