Surprisingly decent show for a remake. Reboot. Sequel. Whatever.

Interesting idea. Let's see what they can do with it.

The premise reminds me of "17 Minutes", a great episode of Travellers, a different body-hopping, time-travel story.

Meh. The religious overtones kept me away from the original. Any of that going on in the sequel?

Damn, they're all gonna leap back in.

I would have loved it if Ben kept on meeting himself in the past leaped into these folks.

I enjoyed that show and then I just drifted off around season 2-3...is it worth it to pick back up?

around the time some resistance movement was starting in the future and not trusting "the plan"

Speaking of Star Trek, didn't The Next Generation already do this episode?

/Just pass on the number "2" to the next cycle.

It's only 3 seasons total, and it ends in a pretty satisfying way.

I figured it out

It was the Colonel

He did it to commit suicide

Remember the letter Ben pulled out of his pocket and put back in?

Robert Picardo also played a character surnamed Woolsey in various Stargate series.

Excellent episode in a great show.

I thought the premise was that if he leaped into someone who died, he died, too?   Wouldn't that kind of be what happens when it goes boom?

/never watched an episode
//or the old one, either

I don't remember it that way. But I could have been wrong.

Thanks for the response. I will try to finish then. Premise was interesting, just some timey-wimey stuff is hard to follow.

Currently plowing thru all of SNL due to the SNL book I got for christmas...near the end of season 2 so far.

That must suck to have that much baggage that you can't enjoy things.

Travellers got a little shaky towards the end, but it tightened up.

... i'm back around episode 3 or 4 of this show, got tied up with some things.  Worth carrying on with it?  What say Fark?

I loved the red herring of focusing on the janitor mopping up the soda each time and having him be the final leap, causing some of us to jump to the conclusion that he was the villain. His mopping did turn out to be significant but in a different way.

I completely missed the significance of the pen "running out of ink" each time and being replaced, and the clicking of its button.

This was a well done "whodunnit."

Apparently it's "Travelers" with one "l". There're other series and movies with two "l"s or a reversed "3" instead of an "E" etc. IMDB seems to have no listing of episodes nor where to watch it.
