NBC just cancelled Timeless.

‘Timeless’ Canceled By NBC After 2 Seasons, May Get Series Finale Movie (Deadline.com)

Not a surprise, since the ratings have been abysmal. If you want to contact NBC, to complain about the cancellation and/or beg for the movie, this is the place: Contact Us.

Given how I felt about season two overall, I am not thrilled by the prospect of a two hour wrap-up movie. I didn't like the ridiculous "sleeper agent" plot. I hated the way they wrote Jessica Logan. I despise all romantic triangles. I didn't like the way they got Lucy and Wyatt together just to break them up in the same damned episode. After the way Wyatt behaved toward Lucy and the rest of the team, I can hardly look at the man's face, let alone ship him with Lucy. Endgame Wyatt and Lucy? After everything he's done? No, thank you. The very idea of it makes me feel queasy. You would need to rehabilitate his character completely to make me feel okay about that ship. I don't see that happening in two hours, minus the commercial breaks.

Unless Flynn desperately wants his wife and kid back, his actions in season one are entirely unjustified, turning him back into a villain. This makes no sense given his season two character arc, so matter how much I love Goran, I won't ship Flynn with Lucy either (honestly, Dr. Noah is looking better all of the time). But that's not the problem because shipping is not my thing anyway. What I loved about Timeless was the team dynamic: Lucy, Rufus and Wyatt traveling through time together and trying to save the world. Once Flynn joined their team, that was gone for good.

AND THEN THOSE ASSHATS KILLED RUFUS.

I don't see how a two-hour movie, written by these same idiots people, can fix the mess they've made.

Your thoughts?
