Well, there is no way her homicide detective could replace the only character whose departure has been hinted at, so I suspect she could be a recurring character or a new regular who would just be added to the mix, as opposed to a replacement for someone. Regards, Joe

Period costumes, cars, props, etc. It all costs money. Just the extra time and effort to clear a practical location of, say, all post-1967 items and move in period details (like phone booths, enough pre-1967 cars, trucks, etc. cover up or change inappropriate logos in shop windows etc.) costs...

The special effects cost a fortune. I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand. The show almost certainly cost more per ratings point generated (hence more per ad dollar generated) than Studio 60 and certainly more than shows that weren't cancelled. If I'm running a business and need to cut...

It is never only about ratings. It is about ratings, cost, and how much of a lead-in audience a show retains, loses or builds on. Journeyman was a wonderful show that lost a substantial percentage of its lead in audience, drew marginal ratings and cost a freakin' bundle. That's three strikes...

Right. Because Dan always knows when he's going to leap. :) ***************************88 I liked the episode a lot, and for most of the reasons mentioned. The moment with Katie was especially nice. But I couldn't help thinking, "Dr. Samuel Beckett never returned" after Dan leaped out...

I'm not sure we've seen an addition of mysticism to the mix - at least not of magic. Nor do I think the line between SF and Fantasy is as clear as some people think. Telepathy and clairvoyance are both SF tropes arguably as old as time travel. Just because the psychic uses tarot cards and...

I think Annette is the type who lays that kind of trap for her own information and/or for possible use at the most opportune time later. So she had no reason to rat him out to Kate or confront him with his lie. She just files that sort of thing away for future reference. (The way she dropped the...

Right, they can all go off and work for some other TV series... Um no. Wait. Well, they can audition for some of the new movies that are about to go into prod... Hmmm... maybe not. When the strike eventually ends, the cast will be the least of the obstacles to this show's return. I think...

I was just reading through the episode synopses on the official site. None of them pinpoint Dan's first conversation with Jack about his travels (there's just a reference to Dan's trouble convincing "his loved ones.") But the recap of "Game Three", the episode about the earthquake, clearly...

Neither Dan nor Jack ever said anything close to this - which would have created a whole different dynamic between the brothers. Dan would then have been seeing a ghost - or merely hallucinating - neither of which are considered quite as crazy as time travel in our society. (People make a fat...

??? So everybody knows that Jack is using Dan's time travel claim as one of the reasons for having him locked up for observation, but half the people in this thread doen't remember Dan discusssing time travel with Jack? ;) Now I'm confused. :D Jack's specific line about Dan's seeing Livia...

"Definitely"? State your source. Or at least produce some evidence. What dialogue in the episode suggests that there was another conversation between the two that we missed? I watched the episode and didn't think that there was anything in the way Jack and Dan spoke and behaved that wasn't...

I disagree. There was nothing in Dan and Jack's interactions that suggested Jack knew more about Dan's travelling than we've been shown. And the FBI agent has been looking into Dan - including his current and recent stories. Since Dan always uses the excuse that his research on the people he's...

Either Dan said something to Jack about time travel very early on or Kate did, because Jack brings it up to Dan in the first or second episode. (They are having lunch or coffee or something at an outdoor cafe. The clip - where Jack says "...and you go back in time?" with regard to Dan's...

Nope. They will all send data about pay-per-view selections and the like, but not routine viewing information. TiVO partnered with Neilsen to collect some information (out to 7 days, not just 3, after recording) but not from everyone. They invited a geographically and demographically weighted...

Well, it does fit in with all the Nixon stuff. :) I'm not sure how much of a time lag there was between the resignation and the robbery - but I do know that the offical show website puts the Dylan McKleen hijacking in 1975. If the robbery is before the hijacking, the cash would have ended up...

Meant to respond to this earlier and forgot. It wasn't something that really had to be figured out. If you've still got a recording, go back and look at the shot. Dan hefts the pocket of the jacket and pats the other side of it so obviously to convey to Katie (and the audience) that he's found...

Nope. :) See my post above. The bills have been "out there" since the hijacking in 1975, too, that didn't prevent Dan from being investigated. The bills Dan left at the robbery scene were the "missing" bills that have never surfaced. If the robbery took place before the hijacking, the serial...

Except the photos make it clear that the bill Jack was spending in the bar is that same as that in the evidence envelope. And that only leaves us with three possibilities: 1) He stole the bill out of evidence and spent it, probably ending both the investigation into Dan and his own police...

Sorry. Technical difficulties. Trying to post image.

My thought (and it is only speculation based mostly on the way the bar scene "played") is that if the $20 Jack spent at the bar is more than a normal $20 he's just looking at while thinking about the case, then it is the same $20 that Dan gave the cabbie in the past. But (and this is where I may...

You don't have to be a cop or a firefighter as a soldier to be willing to put yourself at risk to protect others. Every day in real life people run into burning buildings, take on knife-wielding thugs and dive into roaring rivers to save others. (When he was a young man my own father jumped into...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he did. Sure, go ahead, spoil our fun. We could have spun this "quartz" thing out for at least a week. ;)

:) Could the hippy be Langley? ;)

As I noted earlier, I think Livia only took the ten or twenty grand that Dan needed to get into the poker game. My perception of the scene with the bag is that Katie transferred the cash that was left to Dan's jacket pockets. He was surprised that the bag was empty (and equally surprised that...

I think that Livia may have more warning about these trips than Dan does. She seems much more "together" and less disoriented whenever they meet. That could explain how she manages be in approrpriate clothes and have the right currency/technology with her when she "leaps". Speaking of...

But only a few that play fair with the audience, make sense, and are internally consistent with what has gone before. Sure, there are lots of ways of cheating their way out of this, but I trust the writers not to do that. They've set up a situation that demands a very clever and very logical...

Receiving stolen property is a felony and it doesn't matter when the property was stolen. (The statute of limitations clock starts when you receive the property, not when the original thief took it.) Same with accessory after the fact to a crime and aiding and abetting a fugitive, both of which...
