Oh, cool. A thread for this.
Just watched episode 11. That's some ol' bullshit.

Hey Gaf, i just got to episode 7 last nightthey shot the laser at the meteor
I love this series!!
I enjoyed the first couple of episodes, but sort of fell off towards the end.I didn't like that it seemed like nearly everyone is a traveler.
The show is well presented but its hard to take the premise of an unspecified threat happening at an unspecified time killing an unspecified number of people seriously.
Same guy who did Stargate shows? Not surprised because they were pretty shitty TV shows.
that makes me happy, thanks for the update.Great news everyone. Netflix renewed it for a second season.

Now if only Timeless gets renewed too and it'll be a great TV year for me.that makes me happy, thanks for the update.
I have not watched that one. The ads looked ok but I just never got around to it.Now if only Timeless gets renewed too and it'll be a great TV year for me.
I watched the first episode and had major problems with it.
One, there seems to be a lot of focus on the time-travelers trying to fit into the old lives of their "hosts" which is incredibly boring. I want to see time travelers racing to prevent catastrophe, not playing house and high-school football star. First episode flubs its premise badly by expecting me to get invested in the fake lives of these people at all.
Two,Both the junkie and his roommate died at the same time. (lol), why not send two travelers back together? You wouldn't have one of them being arrested/watched by the cops, no need to fuck around with the shady lawyer, and most importantly you'd have two travelers at the same place who could immediately support each other instead of having to find each other in a chat room.
Three,Why go through all the trouble of establishing that you are taking over people at the moment of death if you can just body-snatch living people. Why save someone, just so you can explain to them that you are just going to kill them anyway? The transfer process can heal lethal brain damage or magically remove heroine from a body but can't fix a broken neck? How am I supposed to root for these assholes if they're just bodysnatchers?
Really, really poor pilot that flubs what seemed like a neat premise.
Good to hear.Great news everyone. Netflix renewed it for a second season.

I was psyched to try it but found the first ep kinda unexciting, unfortunately didn't really do anything for me. Does it improve a lot from there?
It does. The first episode is super boring, but it picks up soon after.
Yeah it's a rough start, but once it's over that jump it gets pretty good.I was psyched to try it but found the first ep kinda unexciting, unfortunately didn't really do anything for me. Does it improve a lot from there?

Finished it yesterday and, like a lot of Netflix shows, it has pacing issues (imo).
So it has a cliffhanger ending? Should I watch it?
This was definitely one of the smartest moves the creators made, it made the characters feel like 'people' and not 'heroes', it gave a lot of color to the world, and allowed the bigger picture story to be kept hidden from the audience without it feeling like a cheat('cause the characters themselves don't have the whole picture).I really like that the Travelers are an organisation. Instead of one small team against the world, it's multiple teams across the world. And I like that they specified that teams don't usually work together due to having different missions. It forces the team to rely on their own skills most of the time, whilst also keeping the door open to teaming up with other Travelers every now and then.
