The first of the final two Journeyman episodes airs tonight

Started by Mike Olbinski · 10 months ago

Just wanted to pass on a reminder that we all already know about and probably don’t even need since A) we’ve been dreading these final two days for weeks now and B) our DVRs will automatically record them anyways.
Journeyman airs episodes #12 tonight (Monday) and ... Continue reading »

    Why is there not talk of Journeyman moving to the Sci Fi Channel?? That is where this show belongs anyway! This program would do great on Sci Fi and would not fall pray to the Bigger Ratings numbers that the major networks demand. Any thoughts on this? I love this show and hate to see it end!

    Eric, I totally agree with you and I think I wrote about that a few weeks ago, but yeah, Sci-Fi would be a great home for it.

    It's also related to NBC I think right? I mean, BSG is on Sci-Fi, then also plays on UHD, so that makes sense.

    Tim, you can't get that there? I guess Direct TV isn't available in Canada?

    Hands down, the best show of the year! If the show must end, let them go out swinging!

    I was just lying in bed thinking about show possibilities for Journeyman, when a wild idea struck me. If the show comes back in some form, it would be neat to see an episode where we discover if Livia is alive in the present time line as an old woman!?!? Thoughts??

    Eric, that would be interesting, I don't know for sure why Dan hasn't looked her up.

    I guess maybe she would be just too old at that time, or else...I dunno.

    I somehow think she doesn't make it that long, as all the travelers are dying off the Tacheon Man said.

    My family and I finally watched the Dec 19th Journeyman tonight. Although the high quality of the last two episodes in particular only intensifies the sense of unfairness at the network's decision not to order more, I must admit that the 13 hours of Journeyman built to points of climax and closure, making the current situation feel more like the conclusion of a BBC-like limited series that might someday spawn a sequel ("House of Cards" comes to mind, for example), rather than the abrupt and premature cancellation of the typical Hollywood TV show.

    I have already written to NBC, in hopes of keeping the series alive, but if that can't happen, I think everyone involved can walk out of "Journeyman" with heads held high. As an appreciative member of the audience, I would like to thank the excellent cast, headed by Kevin McKidd, for breathing life into characters, about whom it was easy to care. I would like to thank the producers, directors, and writers for giving us credit and not talking down to us, and especially for not letting the fantastic premise of the series degenerate into absurdity. I'd also like to acknowledge and appreciate the additional respect shown to us in the audience, by everyone in the cast and crew, as demonstrated by their creation of thirteen hours of television that told a coherent story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end (if the mobius strips of time-loops can ever be said to have such things). Leaving the audience hanging would have been the easiest thing to do. It took real craftsmanship and discipline to create a run of stories that together were a "novel for television," while still leaving open the possibility for more episodes in the future. The people responsible for Journeyman took the high road, and I hope it helps them to know that some of us out here realize that and are grateful for their commitment.

    Hey James, awesome sentiments and I think you are right. We totally got a nice little story in 13 episodes and while it sucks that it could be completely over, it did end on a good note with a slight bit of "coming full circle."

    Hey all you Journeyman Fans! Don't be so quick to give up on this incredible show. NBC hasn't officially canceled the show and they have until May to decide what they are going to do with.

    Keep the blogging going for Journeyman, because believe it or not that really does make an impression on the networks.
    Thanks!
