Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

weasl-729-310682 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.

Michael Ballard (mballardc32) I loved watching this and although I knew it was a failed pilot, i was still quickly overwhelmed by the huge sense of adventure in the story. Although this may have been made in a seemingly amateur style, I still believe that this show should have continued. The potential story's are endless. This left many questions unanswered as episodes should do as it makes you crave the next episode, thus there needs to be more. Call me inexperienced if you must but, I have not come across the whole idea of a ripple machine before. I always hated the whole uneasiness of movies with concepts of time travel where people go back in time for a certain reason and end up doing whatever they possible can to achieve the desired outcome. Then they return to their original time and only their desired result has occurred. I'm sure there should have been millions of ripples after the destruction they had caused. But this show tackles that problem implementing a true-sight backdrop for all ripples in time allowing the time travelers to know precisely the consequences of their actions.Overall this film was intriguing and adventurously fun.

jwsmythe-925-823542 In my opinion, it was a good pilot. I'll avoid giving any spoilers, being overly vague if you haven't watched it.I'd expect it they spent a lot on the costumes, sets, etc. They did a nice job where they went.This would be very interesting to see where they took it. It has a lot of potential. How good it ends up being would be totally up to how creative the writing staff was. The first adventure wasn't as exciting as it should have been, but it didn't need to be. It was to showcase what could have been done, and how they were going to behave with their new toy. If you go back and watch the pilots of a lot of shows you love, they were rough, and you wouldn't expect them to make it. It takes time to form a bond with the characters. I could see strong influences from shows such as Quantum Leap (what), Sliders (why), Stargate (where), and Primeval (same magic, different cause). The "who" was outlined in the pilot, but not really built upon. Nice, but why will there be future episodes? There's a hint for a second episode at the end of the pilot, and another commenter gave the same assumption that I had based on the very limited information given.It *could* be a great show. It could be horrible. Again, it would be up to the writers to help us form a bond with the characters, and a drive to *want* to see the next episode.Syfy, give it a chance. What's the worst that could happen. It won't be as bad as Sharktopus, Sharknado, or ... well honestly, you have a huge catalog of horrible shows and movies, with a few good ones mixed in. At least this one doesn't appear to be recycling sets, horrible acting, or even recycled scenes. Yes, the viewers do notice, and we're wary of watching a Syfy productions.

Zubacz While I understand it is quite difficult to create a plausible sci-fi story, especially when it involves time travel, this show's plot holes were just ridiculous. The "time machine" itself, communication with the present, the explanation and simulation of the ripple effect, or practically any line of dialogue, that is relevant to the physics or logic of the time travel enterprise in this show, is just ridiculous. I found myself cringing, trying to find meaning or sense in the characters' conversations, only to come to the conclusion, that the producers put no effort into making any of the story plausible to a moderately intelligent human being. The camera is decent and the acting isn't awful, considering the terrible script. The story is one that we've seen many times before. Overall judging by the pilot, I would not recommend this show. It's downright insulting to any fan of Donnie Darko or Butterfly Effect and honestly even Hot Tub Time Machine shows time travel with more sense.
