Right, it's time Timeless got its own tag

shallownessIn the meantime, or since my last post, NBC has saved Brooklyn Nine-Nine by picking it up (for a 13-episode sixth season) – yay! I do hope E4 will continue to be able to show it here. (with thanks to the person on my reading list who posted the news under lock)
Timeless 2.6 King of the Delta Blues
I’m afraid my response to Lucy giving up the bed in her shared room with Jiya to Rufus was ‘that’s a bit much, Saint Lucy’. So, I appreciated Flynn calling her out on Being Fine With Everything.
I very much doubted Wyatt was going to bring down Rittenhouse at this point in proceedings, but I did appreciate that Agent Christopher still had a bruise. Did Jiya say ‘Calvary’ instead of ‘cavalry’?
For starters, who was to say Lucy’s mother hadn’t used a disused place to take Christopher? I wasn’t impressed at their yelling at Wyatt distractingly when he was obviously fighting for his life.
Paterson Joseph was very entertaining in an episode where Conor got to experience a time travel mission, with a nice mix of fanboying over Robert (it’s a rite of passage for all the characters, I guess), his assumption of authority interspersed with his inexperience telling against him. Rufus forgot Lucy had introduced herself as that Swift girl (tm Ian Hislop).
Meanwhile Flynn tried to force something with Lucy. (Will she ever write the journal and give it to him?) They lampshaded that the writers hadn’t planned for Carol to be Rittenhouse.
Nice that the black assistant was also a sleeper agent.
Oh, Lucy, what is it about you that attracts men with dead/’dead’ wives? If only she had more non-widowers around to turn to.
Agent Christopher’s excuses for sending Wyatt into the new location again without backup were very weak, and it went about as well as expected. I did think he could have disabled Carol, but when the boss gave him a row I didn’t think he’d have killed, say, Rufus’s mother in a similar situation, either, and if she’d sent in backup, they might have followed her orders. So, that was a waste of time, although I’m not a gamer, so it was never going to appeal to me.
I didn’t realise Conor and Rufus had a history, so Rufus getting Conor to do what needed doing to preserve the timeline/stymie Rittenhouse was nice. And the music and Conor listening to the slightly tweaked album were joyous.
Wyatt felt a wee bit left out, having had the less fun mission. And while I thought it wasn’t his feelings for Lucy that was the problem with the mission, Christopher is still right that he needs to work them out.
