Man, I only started watching this show after season 1 was over, so I could binge-watch the whole thing. Now I have to wait a week between episodes after cliffhangers like that?!

I think we all knew it was gonna be something like this but I'm glad they're not shying away from the red forest stuff being some kinda end of time fluctuating hellscape. Side note, I know we got some Continuum fans in here too so if you're really hungry for more time fuckery I thought how Quantum Break the game handled stuff was really good. The live action stuff being handled really well too.

ALEC SADLER!!! The streams have crossed, we're through the looking glass now. Oh the flowers are changing to red before my very eyes, that's odd. I doubt it has anything to do with the time travel from our time machine Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 10:56 on May 3, 2016 |

So now are there lethal paradox bubbles all over the timestream or is it significant that the paradox was triggered 100 years in the past? Ramse is awesome. Cassie needs to chill out though.

Ramse is probably destined to return to the past at some point so that might be what is causing the time pimples.

Ramse saving Deacon will now make him and Deacon besties, just like how him and Cole got their bromance back together after Cole saved him. Pay it forward and all that.

The bubbles are the 12 monkeys. I like that. Still all works with the movie since the movie was a failed effort. I like that it can encompass and go beyond the movie while leaving the movie alone in its perfection.

Of course Erik Knudsen's going to be okay with time travel.

Continuum starts off pretty tight, but it definitely doesn't keep that momentuum up in the later seasons and it feels like the writers changed their minds quite a bit. Still it's worth a watch.

Continuum is like Lost and Millenium in that no one anticipated success and had nowhere in mind for the story to go so it just meanders and doesn't make sense; otherwise it's fine.

That could just be a temporary thing because of time breaking down at that instant. Didn't they do the same thing in season 1 back when Ramse was running around with the Monkeys?

Still it's worth a watch. I'd have said the exact opposite, personally. They clearly rethought where the show was going during the second season, but it all holds together fairly well -- if anything, they were hoping for more seasons and not less. Show had a great ending, and the later seasons were pretty intense.

Yeah Continuum season 1 was mostly a slow paced procedural. It was during season 2 that things really got going, and season 3 was spectacular. Season 4 suffered from being cut in half rather than the show as a whole going too long

I meant it was tight with the story telling and how the future tied into the past neatly, something 12 monkeys also does very well. The later seasons fell apart for me when the writers decided they needed to change things the first season established in order to fit with where the show was suddenly going. such as Kiera's family life. The first season she was going on and on about her husband and kid she needed to go back to. Later on when they wanted the possibility that Kiera would have a romantic interest in the past suddenly she'd have flashbacks to how her husband was a jerk and he slept around during their engagement and he was a corporate stooge and she realized how much she disliked him. Did she forget that stuff first season? Well suddenly only getting back to her son mattered. And it's not just her husband, she was so gung-ho for saving the status quo of the future and even if that was mostly for her son they should have shown her being more of a stooge for the corps herself. If she had an 'awakening' in the past as they said then her memories of the future should have been that she believed that everything she had done was right. Instead they showed her as always being on the outside and not liking the system, because you don't want to show the audience that your main character was an evil nazi too apparently.

Continuum is worth watching simply for the fact that the character Garza exists.

Finally caught back up with the show. Still owns. The look on Cassie's face in ep2 when she brought out Ramsey's son was fantastic  also Ramsey is the biggest megafucker and I hope his fate involves him dying painfully for all of time. No one cares about your bastard son Ramsey. also Continuum is a good show

Relationships are tough and Keira was a corporate stooge too for a long time. It makes sense that in becoming dissatisfied with her corporate stoogeness that she'd be dissatisfied with other things too. Bathos has a place in drama.

Her thing was also that she was raised in the whole Corporate Congress structure so she thought everything was fine.

No I understand all these things as plot points, what I'm saying is they weren't consistent about them. Having seen all the flashbacks about her not agreeing with how CPS and the corporations acted and how her husband was a prick and ran around on her while they were dating and being a scumbag, if you rewatched season 1 again would the things she said or her motivations fit with what was 'revealed' in the later seasons? No. She missed her husband just as much as her son and she was gung-ho about CPS and the good it did in season one, and in the narrative she should have had all that knowledge from day one in the past. All shows and movies have plot holes, obviously. My point was the first season was tight until later seasons had to change things to fit the new story they now wanted to tell and that they didn't care about continuuity. On the subject of plot holes, the one that always bugged me was that her little device had a truth serum that she used on the hacker guy but later on whenever they needed info she never seemed to remember she had it.

That red forest ending was such a mindfuck. I have no idea what it means but it's working for me, somehow. I like Ramse but I don't care about his son. As much as I like the Ramse/Cole bromance, I really thought Ramse had gone full heel last season and would be this season's big bad. Though I do like Cassie now being a cold badass.

As someone who liked Babylon 5, let's just say that I'm fine treating the first season of a show as an extended pilot. The tone of continuum changed a lot after the first season, I'm fine with cutting the fat for deeper characterization.

I think I'd like the change in Cassie if they weren't trying so hard to pit her against Cole. It made her seem really whiny and selfish this episode when she hated the plan just because it was Cole's and made a bunch of snide remarks, and this was right after getting on him and wanting to abandon him in the past for not putting the mission first. Plus, the Deacon relationship seems really forced just to add tension.
