I just hope they are going to tie this up soon. There are only 3 eps left this season, and I doubt it will get a third season. It got a 2nd life after being cancelled last year, and I think it's ratings have slipped significantly since S1. When it does get the axe, I hope some other network picks it up.

Of course it won't survive. When we do get a really good show it rarely survives these days

Time travel shows usually die quickly. I suspect one of the reasons is that you have to follow the story and know what has gone before to follow what is going on, and many people don't have the time or inclination to keep up.Originally posted by Linda06 View PostOf course it won't survive.

This show is different; the episodes have enough self-contained material that you can enjoy it even if you don't know the details of what has come before. They are actually nice little history lessons about obscure corners of history. I rather like that.
But alas, it takes a huge audience (by sci fi standards) to keep a show on the air on an old-line network.
And that is hard for a time travel show.Comment

Interesting episode. I was sure Rittenhouse was going to try to take out Reagan for good but...Spoiler:sigpicComment

We will have to disagree with that. I don't think it would be appropriate at all...but that is just me.Originally posted by Annoyed View PostsigpicComment

I still don't get why modern writers can't write a proper beginning, middle, and end to their seasons, and instead either write themselves into a hole or do so many things that they can't wrap up a story because they did too many things?Go home aliens, go home!!!! Comment

Ummm...when the ending of a series is planned, it gets a proper beginning, middle, and end. When the network waits until after the final episode is written to announce if a show is continuing after the current season...we're left with a cliffhanger that is never answered (usually). So, I don't blame this on the writers...it is the network that makes the decision whether to continue the show or not. It is the network that takes its sweet time to determine if a show will continue or end.Originally posted by Coco Pops View PostsigpicComment

Considering NBC already cancelled this once, and only uncancelled it because it was cheap to produce and filled the gap in the schedule, you'd think the producers would consider it unlikely to be renewed again unless it had a massive uprating in the viewership figures.
However, the series is on Netflix here, so maybe the producers foresaw this...Comment
