It’s always the mothers with the best wardrobes that die first

[nevada-b-1780]

As it's Timeless' 7th birthday, I decided to start a(nother) rewatch today 😁

Pilot: interesting time-travel premise and opening ep.

I didn't (and still don't) find it one of the strongest eps in S1, it's a little run-of-the-mill until we get to the last Hindenburg section as seen in the above gif.

The instant chemistry between Lucy and Flynn and the intriguing chat about her diary grabbed me by the throat and pulled me in.

Also the twist at the end for Lucy!

I also took an instant liking to Rufus and an instant dislike/distrust of Mason and Denise. I wish we'd seen more of Stiv too.

It does always grate on me as to how dismissive Lucy and Wyatt are of the casual racism of the 30s towards Rufus in this ep, they don't really seem to notice and certainly don't acknowledge it!

I would also like to thank the costume dept for putting Goran Višnjić in a tank top for one scene ❤️ they sure knew what they were doing with his wardrobe in this show 😁

Chapters: 4/4 Fandom: Timeless (TV 2016) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Garcia Flynn/Lucy Preston, Garcia Flynn & Karl Characters: Garcia Flynn, Lucy Preston, Karl (Timeless), Wyatt Logan, Jiya (Timeless), Denise Christopher, Rufus Carlin, Connor Mason Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, AU S1 Flynn doesn't go to jail, AU Lucy still gets kidnapped by Rittenhouse, Flynn and Karl rescue her, Hollywoodland events don't happen, Alternate start of S2, Bunker family is nice to Flynn and Karl, No Lyatt here, Mild warning for claustrophobia, Timeless from Flynn's POV, Garcy

Summary:

Garcia Flynn doesn’t get arrested; arrives back at the location of the Mothership just as Emma is stealing it. Lucy still gets taken by her mother/Rittenhouse, and Flynn and Karl are the ones who bust her out. All three of them go to the bunker and fight Rittenhouse with Wyatt, Rufus, Connor, Jiya, and Agent Christopher, arriving at the bunker prior to the events of the original timeline of 2x01. Lucy consequently doesn’t go to WWI France with her mother, and she also doesn’t have her fling with Wyatt in 2x03 since she is already falling for Flynn.

Watching the pilot again is like. Watching Lucy be overjoyed that her mom is better in the revised timeline and knowing that this same mom is going to be the worst fucking mom ever in the near future. Fuck Carol Presron.

i love all the aus where thad has a happy ending and stays with max & helen & bart because how tf would they explain that to bart’s civilian friends. how would they account for the sudden appearance of a long lost twin brother. bart and carol stay up all night workshopping possible explanations and write a whole soap opera about how they were separated at birth that’s frankly more ridiculous and unbelievable than the real story. preston decides that enough crazy shit has happened in bart’s life that he HAS to make a documentary about it and ‘shadows’ bart to get day in the life content. cue incredibly typical close-call shenanigans featuring bart shoving his costume in a closet while preston’s back is turned, talking about ‘his cousin wally west from keystone city- OH HAHA not THAT wally west,’ etc etc. this is how preston finally accidentally finds out that he’s impulse, because after bart does everything he can to keep it secret thad just shows up in his inertia costume and waves hi. preston is less mad about the whole impulse thing than he is about the fact that now he can’t share his documentary

Impulse (1995) #59

There so much in this shot I love.

Ayana - hopelessly crushing on Bart Mike - Hopelessly crushing on Carol Carol - Wondering what sorts of feelings she should have about Cissie Cissie - Wondering why Carol is lookin' at her like that Bart and Preston - exchanging fucking rings for this dance and it's very gay looking

Wade - being the aroace rep out of all of this and just having a blast playing Zelda and ignoring all this damn teenage nonsense.

I feel like I see so many contrasting opinions on jobs for Bart when he’s older, ranging from scientist, super suit designer, cop (ew), unemployed and bouncing between part time things, etc. Honestly of those I know my personal favorites are fashion design and kinda bouncing between part time courier jobs (he’s never seemed like a full time kinda person to me tbh).

But I got to thinkin about it, what is one thing that we know Bart loves more than most other things? Video Games.

I propose this, indie video game designer/freelance artist Bart.

It makes sense in my head, Bart’d be bitching to Preston or Kon about how he’s beat like an ungodly amount of games and is getting bored/needs something new to play. They would make an offhand comment, joking about making one himself and I think he would find the idea intriguing. (Or honestly Helen could have suggested it after listening to Max get on Bart about needing to do something responsible to make a living & Bart shutting down).

I think that between hero work it would give him a creative outlet for his hyperfixations. Plus he’d probably have a blast figuring it all out. The first couple of games would be simple, figuring out the basics, but after those I can see him getting like really focused on a passion project game that he fully codes and illustrates. (He probably makes a young justice game, or skins in the games of his friends)

He’d definitely become a hit in the indie gaming community for the unique controls and mechanics in his games. People would reach out and ask him to help make their games, and eventually people would just start becoming really excited for whatever project he was working on.

Meanwhile he’s still just chilling with his friends in his free time, letting them playtest his games and taking suggestions on what the funniest easter egg could be. I think he’d mostly be couch surfing, hopping between staying with friends and “family” members on a whim. Usually chilling wherever the YJ was or hanging out at Carol, Preston, or Rolly’s.

Just feels more fun than him being a DC brand of “scientist” (no specific generalization or study) or cop (again ew). Plus he could still design hero suits while doing this (i like that headcanon, its fun)

impulse 1995 is genuinely one of the best comics ever made because the way it balances the humour and serious topics and goes in depth about characters and their relationship is so perfect and each character has something to offer and how it shows how bart, a kid raised in a video game reality from the future, is adapting to live in the current times is so interesting and so well done because it highlights how bart has no concept of danger and how max is helping him learn that because he's too well, impulsive.

but i think my personal favourite thing about impulse 1995 is barts relationships with the characters around him like max, helen, preston, carol and the rest of his friend group etc because we can see how bart grows through them specifically max.

because with max it stats off wobbly because barts just a kid with no concept of danger and max is trying so hard to make bart slow down and just think for a moment but barts not used to doing that and in his eyes if a plan works then its fine. but then past the bickering and stuff you can clearly see how much max and bart care for each other and come to see each other as father/son.

its really shown during the mercury falling arc because bart is willing to do anything and everything it takes to help bruce and even ends up breaking down in one of the young justice issues because hes so worried about max whilst max didnt even want to tell bart because he didnt want to worry him.

and then bart gets replaced with thad and thad realises that all he's really wanted is a family and people who care for him and that hes JEALOUS of bart which is where his hatred of him stems from.

and as often as bart is aloof, he's equally as emotional and intelligent like when he talks about how people got used to thad and maybe would prefer thad more because thad was more "efficient" than he was and even before that when they were travelling to the speedforce and bart caught up to max and thad, max and bart offered for thad to come back and live with them and you could TELL that thad wanted it and it's just so interesting because thad and bart mirror each other so much and its so visible in this comic but WHATEVER im so normal about it

Timeless re-rewatch - s1e02 (because I have no willpower)

Th Assassination of Abraham Lincoln: so a lot of the US eras/events that Timeless visited, I didn't know much about, being a Brit. However, I did know a fair bit about Abraham Lincoln's end which helped in this ep.

As someone with a keen interest in historical fashion and an occasional costume maker, I love that we get to see Jiya helping Lucy into her 1860s undergarments 👍

Paperweights - you think Connor? 😆

I do love the Timeless intro with the date travelled to each ep featured. Simple but effective.

I like the plotline with Rufus (or Denzel Washington 😁) and the soldiers of colour.

First sighting of Karl, yay! Followed by the the world's worst Irish accent and the world's worst game of Operation 😆

Lucy goes tovthe train station and gets a date for the evening, but there's still more chemistry in the following scene with Flynn, even when they are yelling at each other 😁

Love that dress on Lucy, really want to make a cosplay of that one day 😍

I was unaware of the plot to kill Grant and Seward alongside Lincoln, so that was interesting to learn on first viewing.

The show is certainly not afraid of making Flynn the definitive bad guy at this point, making him kill Abraham Lincoln sermed a bold move! I love that Lucy managed to foil his attempts to change the timeline by killing , even though she's about half his size! The looks on both of their faces when he bursts in though 😱

"I wish I could have saved your father" "There was nothing you could have done" Guilt trip!

The paperweights seem to be working well 😁

I love the looks at the revised histories that they do in most eps and how members of the timeteam sometimes appear in them.

Double bombshell for Lucy at the end 😱😱 She deals with having a sudden fiance she's never met before way better than I would have done!

Starting to get bad vibes about Carol Preston there too 😒

Drawing them with a baby yesterday made me think about if I thought Prestonbart would have kids and the answer is not necessarily but IF they were to have a kid, it would be in this sort of constellation. Carol decides to have a kid, asks Bart and/or Preston to be a known donor, they discuss this with each other and eventually decide yeah, a kid sounds rad, but they'd like to be properly involved, as dads not just fun uncles. So -- et voilà -- three parent family. Also, the free space in this image bothers me immensely.
