Hey, I just learned how to use the "multi-quote" function. That's cool!
I enjoyed the second episode.
While I would like them to clear up the Olivia storyline a little better, I can easily see that dragging out into a finale episode where he's required to save her; which is why she's still alive. Even if she tells him that he's the one that saved her before the finale; they'll still eventually show it.
I get the impression, like Lost, the writers don't even know what the backstory is yet. Sometimes writing staffs will get enthralled with a plot development (dead fiance now accessible) and trust they can flesh out the details as they move from episode to episode. It's why some shows don't really get cooking until second or third seasons.
Writing fiction is kind of like cleaning a room: Once you have a premise, sometimes you create a bigger mess throwing everything into a big pile before you can start organizing it and making sense of everything. You don't know where you'll put everything yet, but you know where it is when you need it and you know you'll get to it eventually. What's more important at the beginning is being able to see clean space to put stuff so you know what confines you're working with.
How's that for an over-worked analogy? hehe Where's Chap to tell me I'm all wet?
Yeah, I could never watch TV with Stout
Journeyman is cool...and for some reason, I really feel like his time traveling ordeal is being accurately displayed in his wife's eyes, how she feels, how hard it would be, etc.
I only wish he told her more about what is going on.
Thank you! I watch a show like this and I get irritated at how little TV spouses tell each other. I get the impression some of these shows are written by people who've never been married, because they've obviously never experienced the kind of intimate details shared in a marriage.
Men leave out details like, "Oh, and that sexy fiance that died in a plane crash before I married you? She's there and I could theoretically sleep with her at any time." Everything else is pretty much open for discussion.
