Rewind

This could have been a great series and I don't understand why they didn't pursue it. With "Quantum Leap" what kept the viewer so engaged was a different venue every time with familiar characters. I really liked this pilot, and I think it's abandonment was a waste of a really very good idea.

This one and QL also brought an education to viewers about culture in different times. So interesting, and such a waste to scrap this one.

The concept will be brought back at some point, and it will be a popular money-maker.

This is a pilot for a series, not a TV Movie (as categorized by IMDb).

Although the plot drags in places, about half of the show is an "edge of your seat" experience.

This pilot contains the most ambitious time travel explanations I have seen in movies or TV. The science works (with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics of massive particles). The explanation of how changes to the past ripple to the future and the simulations are realistic.

Whoever researched the science behind the show did an excellent job, but the science concepts are above the heads of most viewers and may cause dissatisfaction for some reviewers. Many of us are used to lots of jargon, but that is deliberately skipped here.

I think the general public would accept this show as an action-drama.

Interesting show. A little boring in places. Standard acting and writing but I liked its chutzpah in reworking old time travels tropes into something fresh. I especially liked the small role by the great director, David Cronenberg. His acting was probably the best in the bunch. I'm a big fan of his so getting to see him work in front of the camera instead of behind it was a big plus. The scene between him and the male lead was a well written scene, probably in no small part because of Cronenberg's casting. I doubt he would have done it if that scene was anything less than quality script. Only way this could have been picked up by Syfy is to have renamed it, "Timenado."

I do hope that this will be a pilot for a full series as I thought it was pretty good and there has certainly been a lot worse (not naming names). Sure time travel is nothing new, but we live in an age where it's increasingly difficult to come up with something new as pretty much everything has been done before in some form or other. There were hints of Continuum and Quantum Leap thrown in there and this initial pilot did show promise and potential for more. The acting was O.K. it was nice to see Jeff Fahey,(I was a little upset when his character was killed off after the first few minutes of Under the Dome) and the storyline/plot/writing/script was O.K. too. Overall this was a decent production that deserves a chance for more to follow. 7/10.

Too bad they didnt proceed with this.

But then again Avengers End Game took the idea.

So yeah... problem solved.
