“When the rockets go up, who cares where they come down. It’s not my department, says Verner Von Braun.”
I like their tongue in cheek pop culture references. So far it’s done in a way that’s tasteful and entertaining.
Sean MacGuire was delightful. Timeless did with one episodic character what OUAT couldn’t do over seasons and seasons.
So, Rittenhouse is Big Brother and the Mob with Matrix powers? That’s good to know.
I like Lucy’s character, and the actress does an awesome job. But they could do a better job with her intellectual background. She’s allegedly both a historian and an anthropologist, who was up for tenure (and was in fact denied tenure) just before the Events of timeless began. Both an anthropology and a history PHD program would have taken her, if done together, at least about 10 years. That means she would have needed to complete her PhD by around 30 years old to be up for tenure by her mid thirties, which is the actress’s age. So she would’ve started a PhD program at 20. While that’s a very long shot, I’ll suspend disbelief in this case, but it’s weird that (a), as RG says, she doesn’t seem to specialize in anything in particular (period, region, topic — she’s essentially Dr. Google) and (b) she acts much much younger than a person in her position would. I get the plucky heroine appeal, but her whole narrative — feeling like she’s in her mother, the hotshot senior professor’s shadow, a lack of personal life or family — it seems like they’re telling the story of a woman in her early twenties, not her mid thirties.
Can we petition to have Flynn be in a suit every episode? I mean, yum.
Lol, ah the morally ambiguous villain.
[adrotate group="5"]WHAT nationality is FLYNN? I was under the impression he was from some ex SOVIET country…. but other have said he is American.
Goran Visnjic is Croatian, hence the accent.
I was trying to figure out what country the character was from. I thought they said in the first episode but I missed it on re-watch. So now I am confused…. LOVE the accent by the way.

Transcripts are great for that kind of question! 😎 Here is the transcript for the pilot, at a website that has transcripts for many many shows:

A quick search of the page for “Flynn” turned up what you were looking for:
Garcia Flynn, ex-NSA asset in Eastern Europe.
Ex since when?
Since he killed his wife and child and went off the grid.
That was a year ago. We thought he was holed up in Chechnya, but apparently not.So, they never say exactly were he is from. The NSA was first aware of him in that region, but he could originally be from anywhere, especially if he is from the future! 😯

TIMELESS is part of the episode from this podcast.
.BEHIND THE SCENE PHOTOS for next week…..
.

Watched TIMELESS … episode about the Alamo …. I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to watching it with my grandson…. More history in it even though they change a lot of the history. This is a show that I kind of ‘ CENSOR” because sometime the events are beyond his level of understanding and sometime risque … so I have been screening the shows as needed.

more episodes for TIMELESS.
.We haven’t discussed in awhile so here’s a quick rundown!
–Lucy’s father is the Rittenhouse guy! So it’s probably not a coincidence that she got involved in all this.
–Liked the space episode, like that they tied in the new movie “Hidden Figures”
–Glad to see Flynn getting a bit more fleshed out in terms of motive. His family being brutally murdered must have really done a number on him.
–Flynn saved his half brother? So you can save people in the past?
–Only a few episodes to go. Sadly most people are predicting it’ll be cancelled but the next few weeks’ numbers will matter a lot.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Flynn is very much the Rumpelstiltskin of Timeless. He would do anything — murder anybody — to protect his family.
