Great end to the season, Season 2 Please!
Kingslaay19 April 2017
A great episode to end this great TV series about time travel.

I decided to write a review for this since the other and only review is one about Lucy's clothes, clothes really?

The team travel back in time to stop Flynn and try and end Rittenhouse forever. Lucy and Flynn end up working together for the first time and plan to end the evil group with the help of her own grandfather.

I love how the episode showed how the series might end but later reveals some loose ends that need to tied up. The biggest bombshell is how far Lucy and her family is involved in Rittenhouse, including her own mother. How Rittenhouse has now got control of the lifeboat, the teams worst nightmare. Flynn who has managed to evade the authorities and everyone manages to finally get arrested feeling Lucy betrayed him. This should set up a season 2 really well for his escape and vengeance.

I hope to god they renew this show for another season, so far things look good. It is a great show and is very entertaining. I have always been fascinated by time travel and finally they have made a great show with likable characters about it.

Lucy, change your clothes.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers. Observations. Opinions.

Lucy has worn the same outfit from Jackie Kennedy to Al Capone and now to 1954 Washington. Later, she gets a prim suit and pearls and talks about the repressed Ward Cleaver. She should have said June Cleaver.

Wyatt also gets 1954-appropriate costuming. This time, it's a broad-brimmed 1950s fedora and a Sinatra swagger.

Flynn, naturally, has cozied up to the main villain. This time, the baddie is the big anti-communist troublemaker who has scared the wits out of lots of people. McCarthy turns out to be a coward. Was he in the Red closet himself?

Lucy may be Rittenhouse royalty, because her mother and father are both descended from strong Rittenhouse families. Ugh. Lucy, you can never get out of La Famiglia. Double ugh.

Agent Christopher is back in charge, and has outed Flynn as a terrorist. All the recent NSA guys are gotten rid of.

Jiya pilots the lifeboat. While she is under some kind of mind-killing spell, Rufus blurts out about his great feelings for her. She wakes up and says she really heard him. He needs to get down on his knees and give her a big, beautiful diamond engagement ring. He needs to keep his pilot job so that he can afford the payments.

Season is Poorly written Fractured Timeline Scenario Iminant
filmblue-1163630 May 2017
Although the special looked realistic and pleasant while the announcement of spring 2018 sounds like a government terror alert red issue. The ending didn't have a solution for the season finale which could have been written with enough time and research with some more editing from the screenplay.

Goran character in the story was not created well since the first and the last episode has some man from the future in the Hindenburg episode while in this episode the man who gives her the book from the the future, which is the same journal only aged. Another generation of Lucy Preston's offspring gone ISIS/AXIS POWERS/AL Queda? I wouldn't believe the writing team were communicating with each other while the process didn't have enough team work to make this successful.
