Overview

The premise for the series was always about Keira getting home, and what she would find when she does. Will it be the future she left, with the timeline intact? Will her husband and son be waiting for her? In most shows, the answers would be obvious, and simple. This one recognized the complexity of time, and introduced the idea of a time war with two different factions fighting to keep different timelines intact.

Episodes That I Liked

E05 brought the reality of a time war home, and the time soldiers really started to shift Keira’s politics. Whose side is she on? Liber8 or the soldiers? Over the course of the series, Liber8 moderated some of their positions, seeing it wasn’t as clear-cut as they initially thought, or that their tactics weren’t so justified, while Keira started to see some of their point of view too.

Episodes That Were Watchable

E01, E03, E04, and E06 were pretty solid outings, showing some of the shifting alliances and political viewpoints.  » Read the rest

Overview

At the end of Season 1, Keira found another time-traveller, one who has not faired so well. Everyone thinks he’s crazy, in fact. But most of Season 2 is about her trying to get home still, yet more on an advanced technological plan with Alec to find a way for him to power the device. She also is dealing with more of the separation from her family, including her husband.

Episodes That I Liked

Episode 8 (Second Listen) shows flashbacks to when she met the future Alec Sadler while in the company of Garza posing as a prostitute. Equally, the second last episode E12 (Second Last, yep) is pretty good as it basically looks like everything is coming together for Keira, just before it all goes to crap. Both EPs are outstanding, and I rated them both 5/5.

Another 9 episodes are solid 4s for me on the rating scale, and my rating of the season overall…E01 has Alec getting a message from the future; E02 is a prison break; E04 introduced another time-traveller, one of Keira’s partners from the future.  » Read the rest
