Rewatched Timeless since the finale took place the week of Christmas, 2023.

This show frustrates me SO, SO much. So much.

They have Rufus, who is amazing. Especially when paired with Jiya. Seriously, Malcolm Barrett is a massive part of why this show went more than 6 episodes, and he has wonderful chemistry with Claudia Doumit.

They have Goran Visnjic who manages to play the villain with so much heart that you pay far more attention when he's on screen.

Goran and Malcolm are the two elements of why this show-- when it worked-- worked. The two of them had SO much charisma, so much put into their characters that no matter what was going on on the screen, you wanted to know what happened to them. You needed to know if they were okay.

They have Susanna Thompson, who aside from being a very compelling actor on her own, was stellar as the Queen Borg on Voyager.

They have Annie Wershching, who manages to play a villain without being absurd or over the top. (She also played the Queen Borg for Picard, but I really, really hate Picard. But I quite like Annie. RIP Annie.)

They had a main woman character who had agency, and a storyline of her own.

They have a creepy clandestine cult trying to destroy the world, that's always fun.

They had Sakina Jaffrey and Paterson Joseph, both of whom are enjoyable to watch.

They had Colman Domingo as a guest star playing Bass Reeves-- just before he exploded and became known to the world. As expected, he was brilliant every moment.

Sean Maguire guest starred in an episode, he was great as well. Karen David played a young Denise Christopher with excellence.

They didn't let Matt Frewer do an accent, so he was fine.

They have a time machine where they can go anywhere in time. How can you go wrong with this premise?

They have writers from Mad Men and The Walking Dead.

They have stories where they can focus on women, People of Colour and queer people who have all been forgotten in history. This is the key point on why the show should have worked-- the hidden histories.

This all could have worked. This should have worked. This fucking show SHOULD HAVE WORKED.

If they hadn't had a forced love story between the main woman character and the horrible, stupid, possessive toxic masculinity wrapped up in insecurity soldier boy.

Everything else about this stupid show worked. But they spent so much time focussing on a love story between the two most boring, most under-developed, worst characters on the show that they ruined it.

I don't know if it was Matt Lanter's acting, if it was the writing, the directing, I don't know.

What I do know is that every time Rufus, Jiya, Flynn, Denise, Connor and Emma were on the screen, I cared what happened. When Lucy was on the screen by herself, I cared less, but it was fine. When Lucy and Wyatt were on the screen, I zoned out. I came on Tumblr, I checked my emails, I replied to texts from friends. I could not care even a second every time they were on screen. When just Soldier Boy was on, I started to doze.

This show is SO frustrating. SO much of it worked. But not the bits they were so focussed on showing.

This show makes me mad sometimes. I'm mad at the lost opportunities, I'm mad for the moments that worked well and were never unpacked. I'm mad for all the episodes we could have had highlighting women, People of Colour and queer people forgotten through history. I'm mad that to get to all the great moments with Flynn, Rufus, Jiya, Denise, Connor and Emma, I have to sit through SO much crap with Lucy and Soldier Boy.

This show is like two different shows-- an interesting one with lots of great characters in interesting situations, and a horrible soap opera with the dumbest, most selfish, most bland white people ever that I wish would just die.

And then two minutes later, Rufus or Flynn is on scene and I care again.

This show makes me mad.

Timeless: Denise Christopher [ESTJ 3w2]

MBTI Type: ESTJ Denise is very efficient at overseeing their time travel project, and does not mind taking a few pokes at people along the way—she snidely says that Connor built a time machine and then did not bother to tell anyone in charge about it until terrorists stole it to use it for nefarious purposes. So now she’s in charge of the department built to infiltrate history, take out sleeper…

Ghosts is bringing Jay’s parents home for the holidays.

The CBS comedy has tapped Sakina Jaffrey (Snowpiercer) and Bernard White (Silicon Valley) to play Champa and Mahesh, Jay’s mother and father, in a one-hour Christmas episode airing on Thursday, Dec. 19. The network announced the news during a panel on Saturday at New York Comic-Con

Per the official logline, the super-sized seasonal installment sees Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) hosting “Jay’s hard-to-please dad Mahesh, difficult-to-impress mom Champa and sister Bela” for the holidays as a leaky water heater threatens to ruin their plans.

Jaffrey’s Champa is described as a doting mother, but lacks “patience for her daughter-in-law Sam, whom she blames for Jay moving far away from them,” according to the official character description. “Champa runs the family’s text chain, known as the ‘Core Four,’ which Sam is desperate to be allowed onto.”

Meanwhile, though White’s Mahesh “secretly respects his son’s culinary talents, [he] still holds out hope that Jay will become an engineer instead of relying on the high-risk businesses of the B&B and the restaurant.”

CBS also announced on Saturday that McIver will make her television directorial debut on an upcoming Season 4 episode.
