Really? Because I took it as an annoying way to drag out the romance plot even longer. Nothing convinced me he isn't still endgame.

Yes, neither of those characters added anything much to the show, and they each dragged Alex and James, who are otherwise interesting, down into the muck of terribleness with them.

I hope no one on this show remembers that Max Blah exists. I had managed that until you reminded me!

Terry needs his sleep!

London more diverse than it actually was? London was 2-3% black in Shakespeare's day, and the numbers have only grown since then.

I'd actually dispute this. The tenure process is a nightmare at many academic institutions, and it's not uncommon for tenure process requirements to be unclear to the point of opacity, or to turn into moving goalposts. Tenure is also a place where systematic bias plays a very huge role, especially for black academics,…

Yes, and in what world does anyone look at him and not see Max Headroom?

This is why I like Continuum—for all the shakiness of the 1st season, the characters who travel in time are actively trying to figure out the rules of their universe, and what happens when you time travel. And while the lead isn't well-versed in time travel theory or stories about it, that's completely consistent with…

Yeah, while I sympathize with the pilot's need to get to the good stuff as fast as possible, that was crazy fast! Plus pushing 3 reluctant people into a time machine with inadequate briefing and the wrong clothes seemed like a tactical error.

I don't like LOT, but I had the same thought about a less idiotic version.

Did it really, or did it show her as the same actress with really different hair? I honestly couldn't tell in the poor lighting.

I really agree, and I would be surprised if they don't eventually go to a time & location where his being black will be an asset or at least allow him to access important/cool locations (say, 1920s Harlem), if only to balance out most of the other episodes.

You say that not having lived under him.

That was the line of the night! Janet's cheerful delivery just killed it.

I actually rewound to make sure I had heard that one right!

Everyone in this cast is great, but both Tahani and Chidi take the cake every time. And now Jason is stealing scenes left and right!

It is sad! I was reading this and thinking "This sounds terrible!"….and then I read the line about Hayley Atwell in evening wear, and thought, "I have to see this!"

Continuum managed it—though granted the writers did seem to have it planned out from the beginning, and much of the early seasons were the characters trying to figure out the rules for time travel in their universe.

Ditto—and I love Peyton List based on what she did with the should-have-been-terrible role of Golden Glider on the Flash.

YES!
