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.

I had set my DVR to record the series not knowing it was a one shot deal. If they knew this up front, it was one lousy and confusing ending. A madman had killed over nine million people with a nuclear bomb in New York and using an untested top secret project three people go back some 54 years to set the man on the right path thus saving New York. They make it back with seconds to spare and everything seems okay until a military officer overseeing the project steps thru the time stream to an unknown time or location. THE END. COME ON. Where did he go and what did he do? The ending sucked. This show had a new concept of time travel at most, a little of Continuum in it but it has promise. I guess fictitious wrestling, game shows and chasing ghosts are more cost effective. Welcome to brain dead, cheap, mindless and modern TV. Our Syfy (Sci-Fi) channel has lost it's way with less than half a dozen true science fiction shows on now and not a single new space series on. Please give us something worth watching.

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."

Time Tunnel mixed with Quantum Leap, is essentially all you need to know. Nine million people die and it is up to three people to go back into the past and fix it; trouble is they are forced to go back to the late 1920s to find a solution.

Had this show continued we would have been treated to programs such as 'saving the President's life, but having to do it in a 15 hour window in Mongolia circa 947AD' and the like; the possibilities would have been endless.

Real shame 'Rewind' got no further than this solitary episode, particularly with the interesting ending that ultimately leaves us hanging on forever.

Too bad they didnt proceed with this.

But then again Avengers End Game took the idea.

So yeah... problem solved.
