I liked it.
One thing confused me though. He's back in time, goes to his old apartment, and runs into his old girlfriend, fiancee, whatever. Then he leaves and runs into her again, but it's a different her. So did she not die or something? they said something about not getting on the plane. i didn't get that part.

I'm pretty sure that's going to be dealt with in the next ep. Gotta keep em coming back, y'know.
I liked it too. The GF insisted we watch it because she thought it was going to be some kind of time-travel romance drama, but it ended up pretty good. It looks like maybe both Dan and Livia are being bounced around in time to make up for their own indiscretions? I hope the show lasts long enough to be fleshed out a bit.

I was a little confused by that too Jim.. From what I can gather..he was in love with Olivia..I'm not sure if they married or not..then she "died" in a plane crash.. When they showed her "alive" during the time travel I thought maybe she isn't dead just living in a time travel world...if thats possible.
I liked the show but the main guy reminded me of a cross between Danny Bonaduce and Michael Anthony Hall.

so was it better than the show it is ripping off, quantum leap? i highly doubt it because that was one of the finest spectacles TV viewers have ever witnessed.

my thinking now is that olivia never died and she somehow has this time travel power as well. not sure though.
He also saw her getting into a cab on his first time travel trip 8 years into the past. When he got back, his brother said Olivia had been dead for nine years....so.. The Olivia he saw getting into the cab was a time traveling Olivia. She is definetly traveling through time...She disapeared off the plane into the past, sometime durring the flight before it crashed. Everyone assumed she was dead, but the body was never found.
yeah I'm with you there porchball....she's def time traveling herself...anyone watch Chuck at 8?....I really liked it. Three solid shows in a row on Monday night. Don't think Journeyman will last....just a gut feeling. I'll keep watching it though.

Like others have said, this was better than expected. I'm guessing it won't be as sprawling of a story as Heroes and will just be individual episodes with a slow reveal of how it all works.
Whenever I saw the lead character though, I kept thinking 'he looks like Daniel Craig's James Bond.'

this has been very good actually.
they will be showing up until the 12th episode, which was the last one made for their order from the network. it hasn't been picked up, but we'll see what happens. there should be some answers coming as to why he's traveling, etc.

Apparently it didn't make the cut. I loved this show, and hate to see it go. I was talking with a friend of mine who also loved it, and he mentioned that this would have been a great Saturday or Sunday night show. It would have kicked ass. How this gets the boot and shitty shows like Bionic Woman make it is beyond me. Scifi channel should pick this up.
