![]() Offering little financial return for networks, they're rarely handed out to series, especially ones that struggled with getting a big audience in the first place. Two-hour finales are costly endeavors that require new contracts to be struck, and sometimes even for part or all of a show's set to be reconstructed. In the end, NBC did want it, and the show's final renewal warranted an even bigger celebration. We're ready to make it if really wants it." "I think this 2 hour movie is our best shot. The announcement came as an immense relief for the show's fans, who had been left with a cliffhanger by the "Timeless" writers at the end of its second season. "Behind the scenes, Sony has been trying hard to set it up elsewhere, but no luck so far," co-creator Eric Kripke said on Twitter. Now, it's worth asking: How did that happen, and what was NBC's reason for doing it? The answer comes down to network politics and the most crucial consideration in broadcast television: ratings.ĭespite that, almost as if someone had tinkered with time, a two-hour series finale was greenlit. ![]() It was a hard-earned and costly finale that nearly didn't happen because "Timeless" was actually canceled twice over the course of its two seasons. As all three characters - a history professor, a soldier, and an engineer - jump through time, they find themselves trying to keep history on track during some of the world's most significant events, from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln to the launch of Apollo 11.Ĭo-created by TV veteran Shawn Ryan ("The Shield," "S.W.A.T."), "Timeless" aired for two seasons before getting the chance to wrap up its story with a two-hour series finale movie event. Debuting on NBC in 2016, the science fiction drama starred Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, and Malcolm Barrett as a trio focused on preventing a mysterious organization from changing the course of history. I'm looking forward to the next episode."Timeless," an NBC time travel series, is another well-loved - if less-known - entry on Kripke's resume. All in all, the plot is solid and the acting is good. I'm hoping that some of these "secrets" are revealed sooner rather than later. Enough seeds were planted to raise interest. If something in the past is changed, there's consequences The episode does have some personal tidbits, but there's only so much that you can cover in an hour. This isn't like DOCTOR WHO where there are fixed points in time that can't be changed no matter what happens. ![]() Of course time travel always come with a price. ![]() The main cast is rounded out with Agent Denise Christopher (Sakina Jaffrey), because until the time machine was stolen, the government didn't know it existed, let alone that it isn't even the first one built. Logan might military, but he acts more out of impulse and emotion, and Preston shares a yet to be revealed secret with Flynn. Carlin is reluctant to travel back because he's black, and he shares some major secret with the time machine's creator, Connor Mason (Paterson Joseph). I actually really liked the pilot episode. However, they soon realize that Flynn and his associates are attempting to rewrite American history. TIMELESS (2016-Present) Is a new sci-fi drama with the pilot episode plot focusing around an experimental time machine which is stolen by a criminal named Garcia Flynn (Goran Vinjić), a trio consisting of history professor/anthropologist Lucy Preston( Abigail Spencer), Master Sergeant Wyatt Logan (Matt Lanter), and engineer and time travelling pilot Rufus Carlin (Malcolm Barrett) are sent back in time using a prototype machine to capture him. ![]()
