It was kind of confusing in some ways--the buried tool box scene was cool, even though I don't like him kissing freaky-lipped wife. The main confusing thing for me is the lack of control of the time leaping. That would have to suck--waking up in Golden Gate park with a bunch of homeless guys, just for starters. Moon Bloodgood was kind of cute in Eight Below. I hadn't seen her in anything else (yeah, I'm that geeky--I watch any kind of animal movie, especially if an animal might be in peril)

(the point. the premise. you have me so far, i love lucious verenus, come on, that's why i tuned in... thrill me!) but they got this ep so wrong... D goes back and saves bus-guy (BG) from that bus. cool, BG is NOT dead.... D now goes forward and googles BG to find him drinking wine (no mention of the BG killing spree. sooo... many years later. sigh this is the breakdown.) * so since D saved BG from death, BG hooked up with his girlfriend (G) and knocked her up. D goes back now and talkes G out of the abortion. now there is a baby (b). moving forward, D googles that G & b are kilt by BG. D goes back and saves G & b by getting BG kilt by a bus. b goes on to save several in a crash of some sorts. yay! but! * if BG kilt G & b that should have been in the first google hit before BG posing and drinking wine. and that would have been appropriate in the time line of D and BG and BG trying to kill G & b, according to the show. this show will fail because its like calculas... too hard to follow, what's the point... (do you use calculas in your everyday life) plus... THEY LIED TO US IN THE WHOLE FLIP FLOP TIMELINE SHIT ABOUT EP ONE! anyhoo, odd ep... O.K. I think I've got this. I think the girlfriend was pregnant when the guy jumped in front of the bus. She decided to have the abortion because he never showed up? Oh fuck I don't know. I'm just watching for the hotness that is Reed Diamond.

I think I was one of the few who liked Reunion, so it's OK so far. I'll keep watching. Also, I don't know if this has been answered or if it is important at all, but the playoff game he sees in the first timejump was on Jan. 3, 1999. It was featured last night on ESPNs "NFLs Greatest Games."

If I were him, I'd make sure I always carried around an extra pair of clean underwear. Maybe some snacks. Towelettes (he seems to get dirty a lot). So many possibilities! Hm, maybe he prefers to "travel" light.

Hm, maybe he prefers to "travel" light. He's so like a guy that way. You know if it was a chick, she'd have a whole survival kit in her shoulder bag--like I'm sure the hot, dead (or is she?) first girlfriend has a stash of useful stuff hidden away for her jaunts. Besides, she looked fabulous. Oh, a tidbit from IMDB.com--she's Korean, Dutch and Irish. She gets cast as Native American a lot.

I think the girlfriend was pregnant when the guy jumped in front of the bus. She decided to have the abortion because he never showed up? Timeline A: the original timeline, before Dan started jumping back in time. Gaines killed himself in 1987. He never conceived a son. Dan goes back to 1987 and saves Gaines from the streetcar (it wasn't a bus). This overwrites Timeline A and creates Timeline B. Timeline B: Gaines was saved from suicide in 1987. He conceives a son, but his wife isn't up to starting a family, and has an abortion in 1990. When Dan returns to the present after saving Gaines, he does an image search and finds Gaines with a drink and a smile. This picture is the result of whatever happened to Gaines after the abortion. Dan goes back to 1990 and convinces the girl not to have an abortion. This overwrites Timeline B and creates Timeline C. Timeline C: Gaines and his wife have a son, and the stress of family life is too much for him, and he kills his family in 1997. The fate of Gaines himself is unknown. If Dan had done the image search again, he would likely not have found the same picture. Dan goes back to 1997 and saves the family, killing Gaines in the process. This overwrites Timeline C and creates Timeline D. Timeline D: Gaines' son grows up to save six kids from a burning bus or something in or around 2007. Every time Dan changes something and returns to the present, the present is in the new timeline created by his meddling.

They're special Italian light rail cars the city only just started refurbishing and running about 5-6 years ago. yeah, I'm nitpicking, but attention to detail counts, dammit!!!! ETA: Will Anti be available to provide ccliff notes after each episode? Last Edited By: kitty white 09/26/07 1:12 PM. Edited 1 times.

They set everything up quite nicely. So now his wife knows at least so she won't keep wondering where he's disappeared to. Of course, the big question of the show is why is he jumping back in time randomly at all and what happened to his fiance and how does it tie in to what's going on. How does a deputy DA (his fiance) and a reporter (him) end up jumping through time? I figure she must have jumped through time before the plane crashed. So where exactly has she been for close to ten years then? Jumping around? From what she said it sounded as though she was doing the same thing he was doing. Can't wait to see how they explain this. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled before that. Last Edited By: Cassidy666 09/26/07 1:19 PM. Edited 2 times.

I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic, but I'ma go with serious. In such a case, it's cool. I guess I could've been less of an ass about it. I'm just tired of there never being anything remotely intelligent on television because the average person is too stupid to understand it. Not that Journeyman is anywhere near intelligent, but it has the potential to be. And as to kittywhite, I mean, shouldn't you pay attention to a scripted show so you don't miss anything? Do you go to the movies and daydream while the movie is on? I mean, if you're planning on watching something, especially something that has to do with a notoriously complex idea like time travel, the least you could is actually pay attention to the show, no? It's almost like doodling in your notebook throughout a whole lecture and then complaining afterwards that you didn't understand the material.

I was focusing more on the money than I was on the cops face and wondering if he'd keep it or chuck it (assuming it was fake). Tonight's episode was great! The show already feels like it's hit its stride.
