I see they’re doing a Lincoln episode next. Has anybody ever done a story where a time traveler trying to prevent the assassination of Lincoln bumps into a bunch of other time travelers trying to do exactly the same thing?
One heck of a painful underwire…
I thought about it and decided it was meant to be a commentary on the racial element again.
The irritating bit here is that any self-respecting female can get her bra off underneath her shirt and then hand it out under the waist or through the sleeve. We learn it young.
This seems likely.
Anyone else curious who the fiance is? The “villain” perhaps?
By golly, you are right. It impressed in when I first saw Mrs. Plant-to-be (v.3.0) do that. Rather, it continues to impress me.
Liked the show. My only complaint was that the time capsule was WAY too easy to steal. I mean come on.
The short story “Wikihistory” is a bit in that vein; all the new time travellers keep trying to go back to bump off Hitler.
How many stories are there where different groups of time travelers bump into each other, period?
I know of the “red leapers” in Quantum Leap (plus there was a second “white leaper” in the finale), the multiple Stewies and Brians in the Family Guy episode “Back to the Pilot” (although they’re not there by coincidence; each is there to prevent an earlier traveler from doing something that will mess things up), and I think the short story “The Men who Murdered Mohammed” had something along these lines as well.
True. But they had an instruction book from the future, explaining how they already did steal it. That helped a lot.
I don’t know, but I do remember a short story in which travelers from various eras trying to assassinate Hitler were opposed by others trying to prevent his assassination.
And in James P. Hogan’s novel The Proteus Operation, a group of time travelers were sent into the past to supply Winston Churchill with the information he needs to oppose Adolf Hitler, who was an insignificant fanatic until another group of travelers helped him rise to power.
I remember two “evil leapers,” Alia and Zoe, but I never heard them called “red leapers” before. And though the finale was very confusing, I don’t remember any “white leaper” in it.
Someone should start a support group, Time Travelers Anonymous: “Hi, my name is Lucy, and I changed history so some things that were bad were improved, but other things that were good went bad.”
“Hi, Lucy. My name is Barry…”
I remember an analysis that Larry Niven once wrote.
Either time travel is possible, or it isn’t.
If it is, then either it’s possible to change past events, or it isn’t.
If it is, then time travelers will change the past, over and over again – until they end up with a timeline in which time travel was never invented.
So we have nothing to worry about.
“Support Group fro Time Travelers and the People Who Would Love Them if They Hadn’t Been Erased From Time”
I was sort of on the fence about it until the end when she found the “present” was altered. I think this show has good potential.
Is it me, or is the prototype time machine they’re using have a Mobiüs Strip-like belt running around it. If so, I think that’s kinda cool.
So you hire this historian to travel back in time, presumably for her knowlege of history, then after her first mission, history has changed enough to make her expertise questionable at best on anything happening after the Hindenburg? Good move. :smack:
Boss: “you know why it has to be you”
Guy: “Yeah so we can make some point about America never being so great, right?”
And it’s already well past getting over done on CW’s Legends of Tomorrow.
When will she meet Khan Noonian Singh?
I thought it was fairly good and will keep watching. I did like that stuff had changed when they got back - it can potentially make the ongoing story a lot more interesting than if they returned everything to the way it was supposed to be at the end of each episode.
The next lines should’ve been:
Lucy: Yeah, but… someone else could just go, couldn’t they?
Rufus: Huh. I hadn’t thought of that…
I liked it enough to keep watching.
I was also yelling “throw the bomb out the window!”
If not actually bad, the good guys definitely have an alternate agenda.

Not in the same machine, they couldn’t.
I liked last night episode. I really liked that they have some feelings about changing the past. To put right what once went wrong so to speak and are torn on it. I’ll definitely watch the entire season at this point unless for some reason it takes a serious nose dive in quality.
