That's why he couldn't say he was Jim West of the Secret Service. Of course, Jim West is a fictional character too, so why not?

Yes, but Tricia was in a possessed body.

I kind of got the idea at the end of the second episode that Wyatt is a little afraid to check. What if she's alive, but married to a different man?

It's following "The Voice" on a Monday night, so I don't think they're aiming all that high. That said, we're probably putting more thought into this than the writers. But then there have been some pretty boring episodes of "Doctor Who" that ended up being setups for bigger revelations along the story arc.

Seeing how we can download Wikipedia onto a flashdrive now, that seems to be a prudent action.

With Flynn arming and encouraging Atzerodt, we can assume Lucy and her team couldn't depend in him not following through with the plot at that point. Plus intervening gave Rufus the moral courage to try to stand up to Mason.

I have a feeling the backstory will start to jell in the next few episodes.

I thought it was rather sloppy that they didn't bother to put their papers away when they knew there was going to be a launch.

Lucy is the POV character, so naturally everything is going to be centered on the changes to her timeline. The big question is whether the timeline she started from hasn't already been altered with all the previous trips Mason's facility have already done.

Something like that.

True, but he does have a time machine…

Another valid idea. My wife thinks he's her father.

Atzerodt had a Sig Sauer and had been encouraged by Flynn.

I agree that Flynn seems to be working to restore the timeline he knew before all this time travelling began.

1) Titanic - This one was actually the first episode of "The Time Tunnel." They have to make sure Lord Grantham's heirs make it to the lifeboats!
2) Trapped without a time machine - I think this is where we discover there are more then one mother ship. Or, Matt Frewer opens the door and announces they're just in time…

Still a valid idea. Most people think more died because it looked so bad, Hydrogen burns very quickly and almost invisibly. What we mostly saw burning was the linen outer skin, which was doped with a mixture of aluminum oxide, turpentine and other assorted solvents - basically the same ingredients later used as solid…

Though, in Einstein's universe, time can be rolled back and forth like a tape. If you can travel backward, you can travel forward.

Of the 97 passengers and crew only 35 died, plus one on the ground. More survived than died.

And how do we know the show is set in our time stream? Einstein's theory pretty much focuses on just our universe, but in string theory there could be an infinite number of alternate universes, some very much like ours - some radically different.

Maybe Lucy and her mom are part of the family he's trying to restore?
