Don’t Forget!! JOURNEYMAN Returns Tonight With The First of Three Episodes in 10 Days!!

Finally by Mel Gibsteinberg	Dec 10th, 2007 05:50:14 PM

I know a lot of people by Mel Gibsteinberg	Dec 10th, 2007 05:50:47 PM
Including myself, have been waiting for this talkback. Bring on the Journeyman!
Save this Show! by Servo1000	Dec 10th, 2007 05:52:39 PM
Nuff said
Sounds cool by Mel Gibsteinberg	Dec 10th, 2007 05:54:06 PM
These next episodes have some cool stuff lined up, I will be watching. It's probably the last cool episodic TV we will get to see for awhile. Even if they bring back Lost for 8 episodes only, which will piss me off, it doesn't sound like much else is on the horizon. How sad!
Hey Herc by Mel Gibsteinberg	Dec 10th, 2007 05:55:19 PM
Were you at BNAT 9? What's the deal, I am surprised to see such "radio silence" on the event, usually this site is going crazy this long after the end. I guess everyone is in a post film coma?
The Best Show on TV by Mr_X	Dec 10th, 2007 06:03:18 PM
no really. Love it.
Have we heard as yet if its got a full order? by Mr_X	Dec 10th, 2007 06:03:50 PM
the suspense is killing me
JM by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 06:16:20 PM
is the shit. That is all.
Not yet Mr X by Mel Gibsteinberg	Dec 10th, 2007 06:16:34 PM
Besides, even if they did order a full show, what difference would it make. The strike is going to hold up production until the spring, at least, so we won't see much in the way of new shows until next season. Unless, that is, you are salivating for more Carrie Ann Inaba in her Dancing With The Stars spinnoff, YaY! BLEACCHHHH!
Oh, sure. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 06:25:47 PM
AFTER I post in the other thread. No complaints though. FULL SEASON ORDER NOW, FAMMIT!
Donde esta Cattvutt & Xiphos.. by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 06:25:56 PM
..fammit! self proclaimed butcher of spanish
Estoy Aqui! by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 06:31:24 PM
Rookie mistake. Didn't wait for the new Talkback.
I watch this show alone by Mockingbuddha	Dec 10th, 2007 06:32:30 PM
as my wife doesn't care for it too much. I love the acting and the relationships, and I'm very curious about the explanation for it all. There is definately an intelligence behing the time travel, but is it human? Super-human? God? Future people, modern day people, a bunch of scientists in the twenties? I hope they don't answer the questions too quickly just to end the season, I'd almost rather not know than have a forced ending like Heroes had. I still think fondly of the end of Twin Peaks. Keep Journayman alive!!!
NBC has already fucked this show--I can smell it by Uncle Stan	Dec 10th, 2007 06:36:29 PM
This show is already in the shitter. NBC execs are a brainless lot. It takes a lot of sodomy to get to the top of the NBC heap.
I miss the dissing of the Telemundo Twins... by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 06:38:29 PM
And I'ma gonna miss How I Met Your Mother, whose episode count runs out tonight. I'm not into Journeyman like a lot of you are, so I hope these episodes deliver the goods for youse. :)
Hey NBC programming execs... by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 06:39:22 PM
...after you get done fellating the donkeys you just fucked could you explain how 2 hours of Deal or No Deal on friday is followed by 2 MORE FUCKING HOURS of Deal or No Deal on monday? Stop prefacing two of my favorite shows with fucking garbage. Of course, I think next monday's lead-in is Clash of the Choirs, so maybe I should be happy about Deal. sigh I hate network television.
Who are the bigger assholes: Fox or NBC?! by Uncle Stan	Dec 10th, 2007 06:39:52 PM
It's getting so that I don't want to invest in any new shows from either network. The shows that appeal to my personal tastes are usually the ones that are quickly axed without a jury trial.
Pennsy! by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 06:40:48 PM
What we need is a guest appearance by a certain blonde with the initials KB on JM to get you hooked!
I think Fox still takes the prize... by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 06:43:13 PM
Firefly and Wonderfalls alone really put 'em over the edge, and some would say Drive and The Inside as well (I personally didn't care much for either of those last two). NBC actually has had a better track record. For your garden variety Goat Fuckers, that is. Besides, NBC still has a chance to do right here. FULL SEASON ORDER NOW, FAMMIT!

Sorry about that, the PCA's are on CBS January 8. by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 06:48:38 PM
My bad.
Oh, I'll donut you alright.... by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 06:51:40 PM
HOW THE FUCK IS FUCKING PRIVATE FUCKING PRACTICE NOMINATED AND JM FUCKING NOT? FUCKITY FUCK FUCK. ahem
Anybody see Bell at last night's Spike Video Game Awards? by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 06:51:55 PM
She won one of them for her voice acting (Hottest Newcomer) for Assassins Creed. More proof God was on his A++ game when he ushered K-Bell into the world: http://tinyurl.com/36dg8v. :)
Oh yeah... by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 06:52:40 PM
...People's Choice. duh. Move along, nothing to see here.
Private Fucking Practice?!?! by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 06:53:24 PM
That may be one of the worst shows I ever sat through a half an hour of. Just crap. Oh, well. People like what they like, I guess. Yeesh.
Kristen Bell. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 06:54:58 PM
I picked up the S1 and S2 VM DVDs when they were 14.99 at Best Buy, and have been going through them in order. Such good stuff in there, especially first season. Miss that damn show.
Hey now, "The Moment of Truth" is coming... by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 06:56:27 PM
Guaranteed smash hit! People answer questions hooked up to a lie detector! Get all 21 questions right (telling the truth) and win a half-mil! American Karaoke-esque ratings, here we come! sarcasm meter overload there :D
I'm just wondering how the heck Moonlight made it? by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 06:57:24 PM
Why not just plug in Viva Laughlin while yer at it?
2 1/2 Men but no Office??? by Mel Gibsteinberg	Dec 10th, 2007 07:21:26 PM
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK!!! How in the world are people in love with that show, it is ridiculous. The Office is so vastly superior to that show in every way that I just want to beat down anyone I ever meet who likes 2 1/2 Men to tell them they are world class assholes!!!
Dear NBC by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 07:25:33 PM
Hello. How are you doing? Oh, I'm good thanks. In light of recent events, I am starting to believe that you really don't care that there are people all over this internet thing crying out for you to say there will be a second season of JOURNEYMAN. A lot of them are busy doing things when JOURNEYMAN is airing and so they don't get to watch it. Therefore they use this TIVO thing I keep hearing about to record it or - like myself - they download it. It has a bigger audience than you think. I'm not your target audience unfortunately and don't really count I guess as I live outside the good ol' U.S of A. However, I'm always amazed when I scutter around the internet to see comments about the show from people located in countries like Japan, Australia, New Zealand etc. I've even seen someone from Israel commenting how much they love the show. Believe me, you can sell this thing to other countries. They'll really love it and will buy your DVDs (just like how I've bought your HEROES stuff despite the ridiculous cost...but that's another rant). If you don't renew this show, it will make me very sad. If I couldn't keep watching my chum Dan V jump around time, I'm not sure what I'd do. Probably return to my shoplifting career or something. And I'm very excited about seeing Livia jumping through time in her underthings. You should market this fact more. Finally, if this doesn't get a second season I'm going to spraypaint a skull upon a chest and issue geek-style punishment. I wasn't there for Firefly but, my God, I'll be there for JOURNEYMAN. If I have to cross the oceans to stamp on your heads with my football (sorry..."soccer") shoes then so be it. I will also dangle NBC executives out of windows until I track down who exactly is responsible for the fuck-up of not reviewing it. And, when I find that person - or persons - I shall draw upon my friend Stevie Seagal and exact some Urban Justice upon thee. Consider yourselves warned fucksticks. Mr Monkey!
JM is EASILY the best new show of the season by california_mtz	Dec 10th, 2007 07:32:15 PM
JM is the best new show this year out of all the new shows on all the networks. NBC gave it a bad timeslot, following a slipping Heroes (don't get me wrong, I like Heroes and I won't dis it, but it's ratings have slipped this year) and it still managed to get better every week and develop a rapidly rabid fanbase. NBC execs should just watch this show & fall into it as everyone else does. It would be a shame if they don't renew because i guarantee that dvd & blu-ray sales & rentals will outperform NBC's low & short-sighted expectations of this great series.
I wish there were more TBers like Pennsy by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 07:32:26 PM
"I'm not into Journeyman like a lot of you are, so I hope these episodes deliver the goods for youse. :)" A few people here (including myself) could learn something from Pennsy. You don't like a show? That's fine because everyone's entitled to their opinion. DON'T go onto the TB for it (why are you there anyway if you don't like it?) and talk about how shit it is and how everyone is an idiot for watching it. Be like Pennsy. Express your opinion of the show but respect its fans. I salute you Mr Pennsy. May KBell pop out of your (or her) stocking this Xmas.
This is off topic but... by DanielKurland	Dec 10th, 2007 07:35:48 PM
Tonight's How I Met Your Mother better receive an Emmy nomination for writing. It arguably may not be the show's best episode, but in terms of concept, structure, commentary, and execution, it was fantastic, and reminiscient of something Seinfeld would have done. I know a lot of people bash this show, but if you actually watch it continuously, you'd realize the extreme amount of effort put into the show in regard to continuity, and it's actually fucking funny.
DK... by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 07:39:14 PM
...fair enough, I can't remember the last time I watched anything on CBS, but I'll give this a shot.
FOX or NBC who is worse... by Spastic Jedi	Dec 10th, 2007 07:40:08 PM
What is tough about hating on FOX is that they are consistently the network who puts out more fiction/science fiction/action shows than any other major network. It's just that they usually cancel them too. NBC has become the worst network by far this year though. Serioulsy, Keith Olbermann on Sunday Night Football? That guy is such a douche. Plus the whole forced "green week" propoganda, ugh.
I thank threads and talkbackers like this... by DanielKurland	Dec 10th, 2007 07:41:10 PM
I honestly respect the opinions of people here, and to hear you guys praising VM, Freaks and Geeks, etc., and ALSO praising Journeyman has inspired me to give it a shot. I instantly dismissed it as some mediocre procedural, but based o nthe constant approval of it here, I'm going to watch it. I suppose that may be in vain due to how the show may actually be in jeopardy. Also, may the record show that I adore Kristen Bell as much/more than Pennsy, I just haven't been as vocal about it.
Should register to vote by Dazzler69	Dec 10th, 2007 07:43:19 PM
http://www.pcavote.com/pca/ind ex.jsp I just created an acct. Too late for the big ones but setup for next year.
Thankee. by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 07:43:37 PM
I try to live and let live. Life's too short for being worked up like so. As for Gossip Girl's new drama series nod, I think this is the CW's very first PCA nomination ever, if memory serves.
People's choice awards by Dazzler69	Dec 10th, 2007 07:43:50 PM
that is for above post.
For some reason, I always get How I Met Your Mother... by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 07:46:26 PM
..mixed up with 8 Simple Rules. No idea why.
Xiphos by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 07:50:05 PM
I'm in a good mood so I thought I'd try a bit of reason. And then I ran out of Fanta and became tetchy. What is it with you and brass poles, high heels and that lovely Mexican lady from Heroes? Oh, I think I've just answered my own question.
I guess confusing HIMYM with... by DanielKurland	Dec 10th, 2007 07:52:18 PM
8 Simple Rules may make sense just based on their "long" names, but HIMYM is pretty sophisticated, and has a lot of mature, adult topics/jokes, where I'd wager that 8 Simple Rules is much more family friendly.
DEXTER TALK BACK PLEASE by Stormwatcher	Dec 10th, 2007 07:52:53 PM
seriously, showtime gets no love neither does FX and they make the best dramedies and suspense shows out there. Id rather watch baby einstein then CBS and the only thing on nbc is heroes, shows like this I don't watch till they are picked up as I have been burned so many times.
Pennsy... by DanielKurland	Dec 10th, 2007 07:55:31 PM
I noticed you also made reference to HIMYM in one of your above posts, I suppose the similarities in taste between us continue to grow, in addition to the Sorkin and Kristen Bell love. Xiphos, yeah, I was plannig on starting from the beginning. I seldom just jump into the middle of a show.
Did anyone catch the story CBS might air 'Dexter'? by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 07:59:15 PM
As a stopgap measure during the strike, which looks like it might bump into the 2008 World Series, if things don't get off the schneid and quick?
I actually really loved the Pilot of JOURNEYMAN by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:00:42 PM
I know a few people say it only starts to get good from episode four or five onwards but it was the last five minutes of the pilot that hooked me on the show. I'm not one for sentimental stuff but I felt quite moved by that episode's conclusion because it was so well written. I really wanted those two to keep their marriage together.
Correct Xiphos by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:05:50 PM
I moved here from 4 Privet Drive in Little Whinging. Sold my house to a nice family who were particularly interested in the room beneath the stairs for some odd reason.
DK. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 08:06:17 PM
Totally agree about tonight's HIMYM. The time-shifting structure was expertly conceived and executed. My only minor complaint is that the pay-offs were ultimately a little bit ho-hum, but it was still pretty remarkably put together.
has he ever bought stuff with future money? by George Newman	Dec 10th, 2007 08:12:14 PM
like using a 21st century commemorative Quarter in the 80s? or used entire bills that are dated way ahead of the time he is occupying? cuz i could imagine that happening, with some weird consequences.
RE:has he ever bought stuff with future money? by Spastic Jedi	Dec 10th, 2007 08:14:54 PM
Yea, kind of. Which added to the season long story arc.
Ah yes. Glendale. by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:22:16 PM
Arizona's antique capital. Home of the popular Arrowhead towne center. Yes, Glendale. A place I know...not at all, actually. Unfortunately everything I know about Arizona I've learnt from television and movies. Thus, I picture it as a place of deserts, lonely freeways and roadside motels where strange things happen. Fortunately, I'll be able to see it for myself in 2010 when I take my planned trip across America. Last time I was in the U.S.A, the chicks totally loved my accent. Here's to hoping that I'll be able to utilise that one again!
The "clunker episode" for me was by Immortal_Fish	Dec 10th, 2007 08:27:43 PM
Dan in a battle royale with Dan. So contrived, derivative, and utterly bound to happen. This show was above that crap. Conversely, my favorite was the one where he delivered the baby who would later go on to fail the marrow transfusion with her father. This is the episode I recount when others ask for an example of what draws me to the show. Granted, John From Cincinnati was fairly recent, but there are few shows that value and showcase front and center the tenets of tenderness and sweetness, along with sacrifice for the greater good like this one does. Besides, my name is Dan and my son's name is Zac, so the show must remain! Above all else... McKidd IS AND MUST BE THOR!!!
Ah, but Xiphos by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:28:22 PM
I think referencing Harry Potter may have eroded what little respect I have left on this site.
I agree Immortal Fish by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:31:09 PM
That was a great episode of JOURNEYMAN! I can't believe your name is Dan and your son's name is Zac. Bizzare! Hopefully you've also got a super fit ex called Livia too. And I'd never thought of McKidd as Thor but I can totally see it!
Do Americans use the term "fit" to describe a pretty woman? by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:32:25 PM
Or is that just a British thing?
Monkey... by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 08:35:17 PM
You will, of course, stop in vegas. For like 6 months. First lap dance is on me! (c wut i did thar?).
Xiphos by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:37:11 PM
Well, my middle name is Charles so maybe I can push the royal angle. Do they ever show the trees, grasslands and mountains in movies? They only ever seem to show the desert side. I feel cheated. Hollywood has lied to me. Again.
Xiphos / Node327774 by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:40:53 PM
Thanks Node327774 - I'll remember that when I'm chatting up a lovely American lady. If I told her she was fit, she would probably think I was just commenting on her devotion to exercise. Hot it is! Xiphos - You can't take it back now. I want a class Mexican dancer please. The best your money can buy. :)
Or a lovely Livia type. by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:42:35 PM
Much like Dan V, I dig the oriental ladeees. See how I got back on topic there?
Same thing happens over here Xiphos by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:52:09 PM
Not so much in London because the place is alive with various accents but I remember being in Portsmouth with some students from the uni there. One guy was American and the girls LOVED it. This guy was the center of attention throughout the whole night. Anyway, it's been nice talking with you Xiphos but I must depart for it is late over here. What a nice TB this has been. I expected a few idiots to show up but everyone here has been interesting and polite. Kudos to everyone on this TB for their comments.
another JM talkback by the_fin	Dec 10th, 2007 08:53:58 PM
more 95% positive support 5% meh about it 20% begging NBC to keep it 80% telling NBC to fuck themselves because the poster believes the show is done for all ready. 5% other talkbackers crying about getting there blank talkback. I love the show. It's the ONLY thing I will watch on NBC tonight. Its the only show I will watch online afterwards. NBC please don't cancel the show. If you do, then please cut your dicks off with dull butter knifes dipped in lemon juice. Thats if you could identify a butter knife if your life depended on it. dumb shits.
Final Word by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 10th, 2007 08:54:16 PM
You know your women, Xiphos! LOL Node327774 - Thanks for the advice, dude!
Later, MrMonkey. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 08:54:20 PM
We'll keep the babes warm for you.
You know your strip clubs... by VegasRon	Dec 10th, 2007 09:07:36 PM
...Cheetah's is my favorite, always has been, for the quality and quantity of friendly women The Palomino, which is the only full nude strip club that serves alcohol, is still open(though technically it's on the east side). In fact, I sit typing this less than 2 blocks away =)
Wow. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 09:16:10 PM
Livia is extra-smoking-HOT tonight.
I've only seen a couple episodes,,,but by The Dude Abides	Dec 10th, 2007 09:17:37 PM
I liked what I've seen, and I hope they keep it. It'd be a shame to cancel a show that has this much geek fan support.
Case in point... by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 09:18:07 PM
"He practically jujmped down my dress." "I can understand that."
I'm a complete idiot. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 09:23:11 PM
I just NOW realized that Jack's girlfriend is the chick from 'Invasion'. Duh. I knew she looked familiar.
Xiphos. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 09:41:49 PM
I kept meaning to look it up, but forgetting about it. It just clicked tonight. Something about her expression when she and Jack came into Dan's place just totally threw it into place for me. I think the hair threw me off the scent originally too.
God Fammit. by Steve_Dooku	Dec 10th, 2007 10:02:36 PM
They show a preview for that stupid Choir show? Idiots. This episode was not the best, but darn if they didn't tie up beautifully. Those strong endings really make the weaker episodes stand out.
Solid, if not specatcular episode. by CatVutt	Dec 10th, 2007 10:06:49 PM
Still very, very good, and yet another instance of Dan changing a past that he, personally, won't ever remember. Got a feeling they'll deal with that at some point, if we get that far. And Livia...damn. Very sultry tonight. And yeah...that Choir show looks absolutely abysmal. If that ends up with great ratings, I give the fuck up.
They will, they will ROCK YOU, Steve_Dooku.... by Pennsy	Dec 10th, 2007 10:07:36 PM
;) I think I'd rather watch Deal or No Deal. pukes
it's a very solid show by George Newman	Dec 10th, 2007 10:08:05 PM
watched tonight's ep and i had a good time. it's the first time i just SAT and watched. several times before i have to tv on but i'm preoccupied with the computer
re: deal or no deal by the_fin	Dec 10th, 2007 10:17:51 PM
finally, a game show that can actually measure idiocy LIVE. I'm hoping that Mike Judge's show "kicked in the balls" replaces deal or no deal, because I appreciate fine quality entertainment.
DAN VASSER MUST BE SAVED. by LordEnigma	Dec 10th, 2007 10:22:41 PM
PERIOD!
Oops, one dreadful episode by ulcer	Dec 10th, 2007 11:00:37 PM
beside the goddess that is Livia, and he great entrance tonight, this possible was terrible.. How they resolved the Scrooge plot was terrible, it made absolutely no sense whatsoever and wasn't believable. In fact, this episode had nothing redeemable except Katie getting some flashbacks from last week's episodes, and even then it felt forced.
This damn show... by zati1	Dec 10th, 2007 11:16:46 PM
makes me feel all squishy inside. I think it makes me get in touch with my emotions or something crazy.
Just started for me... by VegasRon	Dec 11th, 2007 12:09:51 AM
...PST and all that. Bloodgod looks amazing. and this is THE best theme on tv.
I meant the music by VegasRon	Dec 11th, 2007 12:32:33 AM
And I totally dig FNL's theme, too. Love everything about both shows.
Olivia... by VegasRon	Dec 11th, 2007 01:01:12 AM
...can't marry that jerk, he's NOT Kevin McKidd. Hmmm...I'm pretty sure I'm slightly gay for McKidd.
Small Journeyman goof by DrStrange	Dec 11th, 2007 02:03:28 AM
Just a small something I got to get off my chest. It's happened for the second time now; first they mentioned calling 911 when he was back in the early 80s, and now when he's back in 1979. Problem is, the 911 system didn't go up until around 1985-1987. I know, because in college around 1982-1983 I was in a General-Ed course for health and fitness and they taught us the emewrgency number was something starting with a "Z" that the Operator had to dial. No 911. Maybe some of the script writers for the show are still in Junior College?
Suits - have you damaged your brain cell? by pidpoid	Dec 11th, 2007 03:46:36 AM
The suits are fucking mad to cancel this show - it really is good compared to the dross that we normally get thrown at us from the USA - you actually feel that there is enough depth to last a few seasons, and it looks great.
Journeyman landed overseas..very very well by lostbat	Dec 11th, 2007 04:19:09 AM
They love it over here!!The december issue of magazine "ScifiNow" has a great article and a very positive review about JM. We want a season 2!!! As for those 2 Dexter fans: wrong Talkback but U R RIGHT!! BEST SHOW!! SEASON 2 Rocked!!
WHY would you air all the new episodes by palewook	Dec 11th, 2007 05:29:29 AM
like this; when new, original, non-reality programming is going to be non-existent soon. this is so stupid, it could have been a Bonnie Hammer suggestion.
this is bad, but they get a free pass on last by just pillow talk	Dec 11th, 2007 06:43:56 AM
night's episode. One word, that has been mentioned before: sultry. I always knew red was my favorite color.
Xiphos by indyjonez100	Dec 11th, 2007 07:17:49 AM
You may get some looks at work if you go around telling everyone you feel "sultry".
that's not a bad thing indyjonez100... by just pillow talk	Dec 11th, 2007 07:20:00 AM
I ended up getting the best performance review at work ever! I do wonder why my bosses' hand was on my thigh the entire time though...
Great episode last night by indyjonez100	Dec 11th, 2007 07:22:39 AM
I thought he would take the picture off the desk of him, his bro, and his mother. On a side note, I was bothered by the point when Dan asked his brother about what his dad said the night he left. You'd think he would remember it unless, like Dan said he was too young to remember.
Another point to bring up by indyjonez100	Dec 11th, 2007 07:28:13 AM
When Dan's dad was using the camera to make a point with Dan in his office, was he actually taking pictures with his camera? If he was it could bring up an interesting story arc for the future. I'm also positive that Dan's dad will show up in the future at some point, or play a bigger role in the past. Too much of a coincidence he justs disappears never to be heard from again.
see, I thought he did take Dan's picture by just pillow talk	Dec 11th, 2007 07:39:41 AM
but I guess not.
oh, and I think Dan's dad is a jumper too by just pillow talk	Dec 11th, 2007 07:40:13 AM

Katie by Steve_Dooku	Dec 11th, 2007 07:46:33 AM
Jeez....like the best wife ever. ! I thought her talky-talk with Dan's mom was weird. Was she buying what Mama Vasser was sellin'?
Steve_Dooku by indyjonez100	Dec 11th, 2007 08:20:57 AM
I think she was, we'll see in the next two episodes (hopefully)
About Dan's dad by indyjonez100	Dec 11th, 2007 08:23:19 AM
They are really trying to make him out to be a big dick, just up and leaving your wife and kids for no good reason except I'm not good at it so oh well, guess I'll leave. But I think the reason they are doing this is because the real reason he goes missing is because he in fact, as Just Pillow Talk eluded too, is that Dan's dad is in fact a jumper also. Maybe something happened down there at NASA when they were checking out the shuttle prototype.
regarding Dan's wife, by indyjonez100	Dec 11th, 2007 08:25:02 AM
I think my wife would be fine with me leaving for hours or days at a time traveling through time. My work on the other hand, I'd probably would have been fired after the third time jumping. Knowing my luck
as said before, it was filler, but a good filler by PVIII	Dec 11th, 2007 08:41:54 AM
at least as good as you can get. Livia "secret" was incredibly lame though. Also, "she got this job on her knees" was something that I didn't expect to hear on network t.v., but loved it nonetheless.
In the States, "fit" means... by Kid Z	Dec 11th, 2007 09:04:08 AM
...in good physical shape as in "She works out at the gym everyday and is so fit." "Hot" would pretty much be the substitute for the way Brits use the word "fit".
Great show but by aversiontherapy2	Dec 11th, 2007 09:05:45 AM
it's all about ratings to these networks, they don't care about nurturing a good show anymore. All that matters to them is the night's ratings. TV execs aren't creative people, they can't see what something could be, only the bottom line.
British chicks don't really love American accents... by Kid Z	Dec 11th, 2007 09:09:13 AM
...It's just that they all think American dudes are loaded with cash. I thought it was my "accent" too, but wised up fast. Not that I'm dissing British women, most of them are lovely and very personable.
indyjonez...I think you're right...I didn't even think by just pillow talk	Dec 11th, 2007 09:10:55 AM
of that. The whole NASA thing totally makes sense. So that would explain Dan's dad..maybe some freak accident or something.
just pillow talk by indyjonez100	Dec 11th, 2007 09:17:11 AM
Or while they were down there they Dan and his dad walked into an area they were not supposed to be in (one working with Tachyons, perhaps) and now they are both traveling through time, except if this were the case why did it take so long for Dan's time ability to come forward. It's probably going to be something else all together.

Hannibal Rising. by gotilk	Dec 11th, 2007 10:14:30 AM
I saw Kevin McKidd in Hannibal Rising a few days ago and for a split second thought for sure Dan had jumped into WW2. That's how this show has invaded my brain, as I'm sure it has many others. It's SO sad to see this show possibly lost before it gets the chance to really develop, grow and shine as it deserves. Can you even imagine an improved second season? Maybe even one with a definite ending planned. Let this show at least have a real end. Maybe even a 2 hour movie for the summer. Something. Fammit... There have been decent time travel shows and ultimately cheesy ones. This is by far the best so far and the most unique. Sure it started on iffy ground, but after the first few it really started to explode in creative ways. Oh and goat fucker, I almost forgot to say goat fuckers.

NBC is starting make-goods, too, with its advertisers... by Pennsy	Dec 11th, 2007 10:54:19 AM
http://tinyurl.com/2m3on3. "We're trying to understand NBC's recent moves," Starcom Entertainment exec vp Laura Caraccioli-Davis said. "We are concerned it might be thinking about adopting a programming strategy like some of its sister cable networks. 'American Gladiators' and even some of the shows they have in development, like 'Knight Rider,' are remakes being dusted off rather than coming up with new creations. "NBC used to be the upscale, quality network," she added. "We have come to expect quality, iconic programming. Maybe they are searching for the reality hit they don't have, their own 'American Idol.' But too much reality just doesn't play well with advertisers."

ITS OVER ................... by lostbat	Dec 12th, 2007 04:11:24 AM
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The journey is coming to an end for NBC's freshman series "Journeyman." ANOTHER SAD DAYIN TELEVISION HISTORY:-( NBC had until Tuesday to give a full-season pickup to the time-travel drama starring Kevin McKidd. The network let that option lapse, practically canceling the series, which posted its lowest adults 18-49 rating (1.7 rating/8 share) on Monday without a "Heroes" lead-in. The network already tried out fellow rookie "Life" in "Journeyman"'s Monday 10 p.m. slot last week. Despite the Hollywood writers strike, "Journeyman" was able to complete its 13-episode order. The remaining two original segments will air as scheduled, an NBC spokeswoman said. NBC recently handed out full-season pickups to two of its four rookie scripted series, "Life" and "Chuck." Since the production of most scripted series has been suspended because of the strike, such orders are considered a vote of confidence to the shows and a potential renewal for next season if the additional episodes can't be produced by the end of this season. In limbo is the fate of the fourth new NBC series, the once-promising "Bionic Woman," which has been sliding in the ratings since its premiere. Source: Reuters/Hollywood Reporter

Thought there was good character development, laying the groundwork for focussing on the time travelling aspects. Thought Dexter was a bit 'filler' this week though. Am hoping that Dexter will actually turn himself in and go to prison and Season 3 could turn into a Silence of the Lambs type deal where they ask him for help with new killer/s.

Thanks a friggin' bunch guys. First of all you give me a mediocre HEROES season and then you cancel my favourite new show. If it wasn't for the fact that you also air LIFE, I would write you off as completely incompetant. Fuck me this is a bad day for U.S television. It sends out the signal that quality writing doesn't really matter, that sci-fi shows don't need to be intelligent and that people on the internet really know shit about anything. I kid you not - the people of the JOURNEYMAN talkback here aren't going to be the only ones annoyed about this. Check out TV.COM or SAVEJOURNEYMAN and you can see there are others out there who wanted this thing to keep going. What's the point in watching a new television show? Absolutely none according to NBC because, hey, once you've started to like it we're going to drop it. Ironically, most people aren't going to give a new show the time of day BECAUSE of this very fact. That's right everyone, there's nothing here to see. Go back to your ER's, your GREY'S ANATOMY'S and your CSI's because those shows are safe from the axe. Don't bother taking a chance with anything new because the same thing that happened to JOURNEYMAN will - in all likelihood - happen to it anyway. Heartbroken.
