Interesting show. A little boring in places. Standard acting and writing but I liked its chutzpah in reworking old time travels tropes into something fresh. I especially liked the small role by the great director, David Cronenberg. His acting was probably the best in the bunch. I'm a big fan of his so getting to see him work in front of the camera instead of behind it was a big plus. The scene between him and the male lead was a well written scene, probably in no small part because of Cronenberg's casting. I doubt he would have done it if that scene was anything less than quality script. Only way this could have been picked up by Syfy is to have renamed it, "Timenado."

Great movie! The end was a bit puzzling at first, but then another review noted that the criminal who would have been killed was spared and became a war hero. The military man may have been him, or someone who knew about him and has figured out the truth about that guardian angel. Anyway, when he dresses for frigid weather and lands in another time, there are caves with animal drawings on them. After having witnessed what happened to New York, the military man despaired of humanity being a force for good on earth and went back to the Caves of Lascaux to eliminate the few humans living at that time. So all goes dark in New York and the rest of the world which never came to be, but was spared the destruction that humans created.

You know how music has these boy-bands/girl-bands where there's a group of people so everybody has one to love. This movie follows the same commercial lame recipe.It's basically a copy of NCIS, or NCI, or NCIS-LosAngeles, or NCIS-Florida, or whatever it is all those spin off nonsensical shows are called these days.It's one big caricature that even amateurs can't make as bad as these producers managed to do.This 'movie' is a total waste of watching-time if you like quality-TV.It gets 2 out of 10 because it's about time-travel, but deserves zero out of 10 for it's lameness.I have nothing good to say about this 'movie'. So stereotypical of current commercial TV it's to cry for.Yuck, yuck and more yuck.End-of-review.

In my opinion, it was a good pilot. I'll avoid giving any spoilers, being overly vague if you haven't watched it.I'd expect it they spent a lot on the costumes, sets, etc. They did a nice job where they went.This would be very interesting to see where they took it. It has a lot of potential. How good it ends up being would be totally up to how creative the writing staff was. The first adventure wasn't as exciting as it should have been, but it didn't need to be. It was to showcase what could have been done, and how they were going to behave with their new toy. If you go back and watch the pilots of a lot of shows you love, they were rough, and you wouldn't expect them to make it. It takes time to form a bond with the characters. I could see strong influences from shows such as Quantum Leap (what), Sliders (why), Stargate (where), and Primeval (same magic, different cause). The "who" was outlined in the pilot, but not really built upon. Nice, but why will there be future episodes? There's a hint for a second episode at the end of the pilot, and another commenter gave the same assumption that I had based on the very limited information given.It *could* be a great show. It could be horrible. Again, it would be up to the writers to help us form a bond with the characters, and a drive to *want* to see the next episode.Syfy, give it a chance. What's the worst that could happen. It won't be as bad as Sharktopus, Sharknado, or ... well honestly, you have a huge catalog of horrible shows and movies, with a few good ones mixed in. At least this one doesn't appear to be recycling sets, horrible acting, or even recycled scenes. Yes, the viewers do notice, and we're wary of watching a Syfy productions.
