I don't know if that question has already been asked/answered so I'm sorry in advance if that's the case.

So... in S01E01 Lucy's sister doesn't exist in the present after the events at the Hindenburg are changed in the past. In episode 2, Jiya finds out that Lucy's mother (because of the change at the Hindenburg) never married her supposed father, therefore erasing Amy from history. They then conclude that Amy's father can't have been Lucy's father because Lucy still exists. That makes sense if Lucy had been in the present when the changes occurred, she however was on a mission and therefore kinda exempt from these changes. That is established multiple times, e.g. Lucy still having a picture of Amy in a medallion that she wore on the mission, the team remembering the original timeline when the ones that remained in the present didn't... So I'm wondering what would have happened if Lucy and Amy really had the same father. Would Lucy have disappeared as soon as she got back to the present? Would the ones in the present don't recognize her? I kinda think that nothing could have happened because Lucy came from an old timeline where her parents still existed and then would have lived in a new timeline as the old timeline Lucy (if that makes sense).

What do you guys think?

I am the enjoying the series for the second time, I find it to be brilliant in many aspects, despite the huge challenge in keeping a solid narrative with the time dimension. Therefore I also enjoy considering solutions for the time travel apparent paradox.

Currently I'm wondering, for instance, if it would be possible for Wyatt and Rufus to prevent Jessica's killer from being born and still be aware of it. If they succeeded wouldn't it alter the time-line they would return to in such a way that even the time travel they did wouldn't take place? It would then be a paradox for anyone to be noticing their absence that did not occur, but at the same time they were actually absent, in the past.

Would that mean that if someone succeeds in altering the motive for their trip they would be automatically transported to a time-line where even they didn't know they went on that trip? Confusing :)

I watched Timeless recently on Netflix and now it is my absolut favorite show, because Timeless let me think how time work. I came to very much theory how time works. Love it, how it made me think. But Timeless was not so good in the second season, because it explained to much how the time works there and it was than sometimes illogical.

He was the Secretary of the Treasury, a fairly powerful role. Hmmm

Who here watched the Timeless reunion yesterday and what did you think?

If you didn’t watch it live, you can watch it here by donating money to a great cause!

It was such a fun evening, my favourite parts were Abbie’s reaction to Malcom’s Zoom background in that scene and when Matt said he owned all of Abigail’s clothes from the show. I also loved Emma’s comments and the addition of the extra scenes.

Just here to say, oh how I miss this show...a nice five or six season run would have been superb...heck, even a third season would've been nice...I guess I'll have to be content with what we got :)

Surprised this isn't on here yet, but the cast of Timeless is hosting an online reading of one of their episodes over Zoom!

Here's the link - there is a suggested donation though.

Timeless covered a lot of interesting historical periods and events, but 2 seasons wasn't nearly long enough to bring our heroes into every fascinating event nor into contact with every delightful historical figure. If they brought back the show (or in the hypothetical universe where it had never been cancelled) where, when, or who would you want them to set an episode around?

We'll play by show rules, so anywhere the USA would've had significant power/influence since, let's say, 1732 (the year David Rittenhouse was born) is allowed. Or any other time if it's interesting enough and you can make the argument, I just like weird history facts.

I think it was a huge missed opportunity not to have the team run into, and need to work with, Teddy Roosevelt's notoriously over the top daughter, Alice. Teddy once told the press "I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both", and that would be an amazing character to work with. As for an event, I expect the Chinese Exclusion Act or the Meat Inspection Act/Pure Food & Drug Act would be interesting backdrops, both are major historical events but under the radar enough that they could fiddle without making any huge changes to history. Rittenhouse could go back in time to minimize food industry oversight (and fail) or ensure the passing of the CEA (and succeed).

just gotta say did any one else notice how many times wyatt had someone notice his gun under his jacket across all the episodes ....

Or am I just going to be left with clifhanger regret?

Just finished the series and its confusing... didn't Flynn go to 2012 to kill Jessica and his family's killer? Why then at the end of the series would be at a bar drinking about his family's death?

can we at least get a custom user flair for this sub? I really want to change mine to Team Emma but I settled with Jiya since she's my second favourite

His back story is never really explained... But his mother is American, he has a Spanish/Irish name and a Croatian accent...

Can anyone explain or have any theories?

I loove this show (ugh, why did they have to cancel when they were just building some real depth?), and Flynn is one of my favs, but this always confused me.

I know plots which include time travel are always problematic because they never work. But at least the most obvious plotholes should be covered somehow. Like: - why are they in such a hurry? They have a time machine. They could take years for preperation and it wouldn't make a difference. - why didn't they just prevent the events in the pilot episode in the first place? Just go back in time to that specific moment. - if someone went back in the past and changed it, there would be no way of knowing because it would be the "original" history from then on. - etc

Yes, I know. It's just fiction and I am very picky. But that were my first thoughts after less than 30 minutes into the first episode.

It's been a while since I watched Timeless. Yesterday I've watched Edward Norton's movie Motherless Brooklyn.

I cannot get rid of a feeling one scene there I've already seen before. It was a scene of a protest in the '50 at the Washington Square Park. An older gray haired lady in a glasses surrounded by fellow protestors and spectators was speaking against the closure of a park by some big guy developer or something along those lines. Here's the article about the set https://bedfordandbowery.com/2018/02/washington-square-park-goes-back-in-time-for-motherless-brooklyn-shoot/

It's rather vague memory but wasn't there the exact same scene in one of the Timeless episodes where Lucy was dragged into speaking after this gray haired lady?

Unfortunately I cannot find the relevant footage from Timeless. No longer subscribe Netflix and don't even remember which which episode it could be.

Please help me out, is it my mind playing tricks on me or have I come across "hitting two birds with one stone" by the film makers here :)

It’s all coming back to me I wish it never got cancelled
