When "Timeless" debuted in 2016 I posted my comments on the show's good parts and bad parts, but overall I enjoyed the show and watched it every week for its 16 episode run. When NBC cancelled it, I shot off an e-mail objecting and by George, the idiots relented and brought the show back for a second 10 episode season.

Well, that second season just ended and I am still a viewer. However, they have created more bad parts without adding any more good parts.

Without making a long list of what they get wrong with their mostly liberal slant on history, my main gripe is that they just did away with any attempt on period costuming, just zooming into the past in modern day clothes and when they arrive at what ever date, they apparently steal proper attire of the era with the ease of my getting another beer from the fridge.

So, if the series is cancelled, I won't be sending in an e-mail to save it. However if it comes back, I'll still give it a watch.

Okay, anybody got their two-cents worth?

Stellar second season?

LOL. Hardly. It is struggling in the ratings, even worse than its premier season.

That episode last week of the gay life of one of the main characters turned off many viewers.

The story lines are iffy, as the travelers seem to do as much or more damage than they are trying to correct.

The series needs much better writing if it does get a 3rd season.

I’m still waiting for ABC to do a wrap up Episode of Vto bring it to a conclusion, as long as it doesn’t include Hot Air Balloons and dumping Red Powder all over the Earth.

When this show first aired, I was hopeful for a good series to watch. I didn’t make it far into the first episode because thier far left bias made it unbearable for me.

My wife and I are running a little behind and just watched the suffragette episode.

Sure seems like at the very end, they were saying that the team’s interference got Trump elected.

What happened to them not being able to visit a timeline they had already been to? I guess in the future they figured out a way to break that rule AND spruce up their time ship.

I used to watch, overlooked the fact that the head woman has a “wife.” But when the black dude says flat, There is no God, and got no argument from his white girlfriend, that was the end for me. I love the concept but will not watch again.

Plus in the first episode this season, sweet Lucy murdered an American soldier in cold blood in WW 1. Not another mention was made of it, no remorse, nothing. Very hard for this retired soldier to take that as entertainment.

I think that I just read that it got the axe. Can’t name the source.

I was enjoying it till the last 2 episodes before the finale. Fist they took shots at Trump and the next week went full homosexual with an entire episode devoted to making sure a character stayed homosexual and highlighted the homosexual parts so much, I am about to give it up.

It’s far from perfect but I still like it, my favorite bit is how history gets changed slightly, ie a new Bond movie (cast Lucy’s character for that!) and the Lincoln assassin being a great mystery to history.

I feel they talk/act too modern when going back in time, I don’t recall it being so blatant in season 1.

I heard it was a cliffhanger but I wasn’t expecting THAT. I hope it doesn’t end that way.

SpecOps guys are embarrassed by Wyatt. He gets his ass kicked in every fight. Oh and his shooting sucks.
