I thought that was well handled, especially since in the movie Railly thinks Cole is crazy for most of the film. The bit with the wrist watch served the twin purposes of illustrating the show's theory of time travel causality, while providing Railly irrefutable proof that Cole is telling the truth. And then the beat with Cole vanishing as the police approach is used to give Railly two years to adjust to the fantastic idea of time travel before the action picks up again, moment later for us. The result is that the two leads are put together quickly, without it seeming forced or artificial.Josh Dial said:I thought the pilot was quite good. The plot moved forward at a good pace, and the show didn't waste time where other shows would waste time. For example, on most shows, Cassandra Railly wouldn't be convinced that Cole is a time traveler until the third or fourth episode.
There was a quote about Cassandra from Greek mythology in the movie... "Dr. Kathryn Railly: Cassandra in Greek legend, you recall, was condemned to know the future but to be disbelieved when she foretold it. Hence the agony of foreknowledge combined with the impotence to do anything about it." I assume that has something to do with it, especially since it sounds a lot like the presentation she gives to the uninterested doctors, and then also like what we know of the two unseen years.Adam Lenhardt said:Not sure why they changed Dr. Railly's first name from Kathryn to Cassandra for the show.
There was an interesting guest from Continuum in a recent episode ...... Continuum did in its first season.
