My guess is season 2 will be it’s last as it barely scraped by in season one. I really like this show however and I am sorry for that. Because since I really like it......it is surely doomed.

It was actually cancelled...then UN-cancelled.

I'm hoping it has a good couple more years.

It has been a while. I totally forgot about it.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

Just a heads up here, I haven't watched yet but indications are that Timeless is going full Feminist/PC/Woke for this season:

'Timeless' turns back the clock to focus on trailblazing women, icons of color in Season 2

A friend of mine told me read somewhere that they are only going back in time this season to rescue/help either women or minorities:

quote:

“History belongs to everybody, not just a bunch of white dudes,” he says. “I think the stories we’re telling are stories that are both underrepresented and deserve to be told.”

So the show will dive into important historical figures such as “grandfather of rock and roll” Robert Johnson; Nobel Prize winning scientist Marie Curie and her daughter Irene; the actress who invented WiFi, Hedy Lamarr; the first African-American Nascar driver, Wendell Scott; the first unofficial female NYPD officer Grace Humiston; Benjamin Franklin’s mother Abidah; the leader of the National Women’s Party, Alice Paul; and the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman.

I also enjoyed season 1, so I'll give it a few chances.

Hope it isn't just the usual pc tripe, but rather a look at history we typically don't hear about. White dude stories do get a bit boring.

I watched pilot (Rewind) to "Timeless".

If you have some time, it is worth the watch.
