who else watches this? Why are the seasons so short? Season 1 was just 8 episodes; season 2 just started a few weeks ago and next week's the season finale already!

I do! They're still on season one. The first season finale was suppose to be the Benedict Arnold episode last December, but the show was so popular that they added more episodes.

Love this show. Season 1 will have 16 episodes but am not sure the show will be renewed. Not having The Voice as a lead in has hurt. I read that it is very expensive to produce since new sets have to be used each week. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is renewed.

I watch the show, although I am completely lost on what the deal is with the Rittenhauer nonsense and the guys they are trying to stop - I just try to follow the plot of each individual episode.

Some of the time travel logic they use is just befuddling - in a "why don't they just ____ instead of ____" for every single thing they are doing sort of way...

good to know I'm not the only one confused by all that Rittenhouse stuff.

I watch the show too. I'm not exactly sure if Rittenhouse is totally bad or not. It's kind of confusing.

I'll take Timeless over This is Us any day. It's a shame the ratings aren't better.

I don't understand the Rittenhouse stuff too. I like it mostly for the scenes when they go back in time and meet historical figures.

Does anyone else think the time machine looks like the CBS eye logo?

yes, it does a little now that you mention it.

And I also like the scenes when they're back in time and meet historical figures. I wonder if they'll ever go back to say, mid-evil Europe?

treky · 02-08-2017, 04:33 AM

it seems A LOT of people are very confused about all that "Rittenhouse" stuff. I just got an e-mail from my sister-in-law and she says her husband and her are VERY confused by it!!

Willbo · 02-08-2017, 08:47 AM

My understanding is that Rittenhouse is trying to change history as well but we have not been told why yet. I do think they are evil though and that Flynn is the "good" guy. Please NBC bring back this show.
