Continuum - News/Discussion/SPOILERS

[Brian]

I can honestly say I was intrigued and for lack of a better word: interested when Space Showcase was playing those ads that literally had just the word CONTINUUM with a neat purple background and said coming soon...

But when they started playing footage of the show in the promos my interest fell to zero. I might watch an episode or two because Rachel Nichols is a cutie and Tony Amendola is great.

This teaser told me absolutely nothing about the show. From Wikipedia...

CPS Protector Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) is transported from the year 2077 to 2012 when a group of terrorists from her time escapes execution by fleeing to present day. In order to track them down and stop them from endangering the past, Kiera joins the local police force and uses the skills of a young tech genius (Erik Knudsen).

Terminator meets Timecop meets police procedural meets stereotypical "young tech genius" who should should be a lot older based on his knowledge and skill.

Yawn.

Yawn.

The word genius kinda went over your head there.

Continuum is up and running,
You can check it out here:

Continuum the Series site.


There you can find things like behind the scenes photos and background info.

Also the trailer is now viewable in High Definition on youtube:

That teaser is from a web series with the same name. It is not related to the TV show.

The trailer of the show can be seen a few posts down.

No, it didn't. Genius is nothing without time dedicated to absorbing knowledge and developing skill. Intellect on it's own does not equate genius. I hated the "Eli" character on SGU. An unemployed man in his 20's who plays video games all day may be highly intelligent, maybe even gifted, but he wouldn't have developed the knowledge and skill necessary to be of any value to the U.S. Air Force, let alone the SGC and Icarus Base.

Finley, the trailer you posted is actually interesting! Unfortunately, I've already seen this before. It was more interesting when it was called Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Strait over your head.....

Woman goes back in time. Totally Terminator!

[Snowman37]

Just a wee bit familiar, no?

[Ukko]

They both used a similar looking blue flash of light, thats it....

[Snowman37]

Look deeper. A woman goes back in time (CPS Protector Kiera Cameron / reprogrammed Terminator Cameron Phillips). Terrorists / Terminators go back in time. Cameron has gone back in time to track down and stop the Terrorists / Terminators from endangering the past. In TSCC, Cameron protest the past by protecting John Connor. In Continuum, Cameron is going after the terrorists themselves. She joins the local police force (OK, different enough here), and she uses the skills of a young tech genius. John Connor. I mean... some guy played by Erik Knudsen.

[Ukko]

Superficial, not deep at all. Two red cars does not equal two Ferraris.

[Snowman37]

You're right, two red cars do not equal two Ferraris. However, what if the person already has a car? Maybe he wants a car and a truck.

[blueray]

this show sounds interesting, but i live in the states so can't watch it

[Snowman37]

Watch it online at the website?

[Ukko]

That makes no sense.

[Snowman37]

Neither did you.

[LtColCarter]

So, it won't be airing in the states?

[Ukko]

Neither did you.

No, you simply missed the point.

[magictrick]

So, it won't be airing in the states?

It appears to only be airing on Showcase which is a Canadian network. I'm not sure if you can stream it on their website if you are outside Canada.
I imagine it will be available on Netflix, Hulu, etc. though.

we don't get showcase. maybe another channel will pick it up though
