(With apologies to my husband. He knows why).
So, we finally had the chance to watch the second season of the short-lived NBC time travel show Timeless.
This show had a steampunk aesthetic that was a lot of fun, but the second season was not as good as the first. The writers didn't have enough space to do everything they needed to do, and the defeat of the bad guys ended up, as a result, being too pat.
At the end of season one, Rittenhouse was everywhere. In season two, as my husband put it, Rittenhouse was "Mom."
But something rather interesting happened at the ending. They ended with the annoying trope of the found family just...kind of going their separate (with a side of toxic monogamy) ways...
...and then abruptly brought them back together. With the very end implying they were still needed.
It was actually a better ending than most TV shows, and it almost worked. They needed one more season, though, so badly.
Also, I finally got Time After Time out of my head.
