[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for the “Timeless” series finale, “The Miracle of Christmas.”]
In the series finale for “Timeless,” the show’s six primary cast members gather inside their base and we see an inclusive team of smart, good people who formed a second family while hopping around the past.
