SciFi TV Rewatch

I sat down with Christian Kane aka Jacob Stone for a conversation that covered a look at the season ahead, his love of action sequences, and his respect for former NFL quarterback Bret Favre.  

When a Roman goddess escapes her confinement, the Librarians are called in to find out who's been stealing luck. In an episode that examines the individual commitment each Librarian must make to the job, a renewed sense of purpose and fulfillment helps Cassandra, Jake, and Ezekiel make peace with the lives they've chosen. Episode Grade: B

The Librarians calls back to the first film in the trilogy by reintroducing Nicole Noone, Flynn's first guardian. Having been sent 500 years in the past, Nicole puts her anger aside and helps the team recover the cornerstones from the first library. Rachel Nichols stars as Nicole, and John Noble appears as Monsignor Vega. Dave and Wayne answer another Travelers question and touch on the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Episode Grade: B+

Dave and Wayne comment on listener feedback for the last few episodes of season two of Travelers. Will the loved ones of the travelers forgive the lies they've been told, and will the travelers program remain intact? And what of the Director?  

Vincent convinces Simon to build a consciousness transfer machine that he claims will help the specialist regain his mental health. Episode 211 also examines the personal lives of the travelers as they adjust to the permanance of the 21st. In "001" Vincent asks MacLaren for a truce, and when he refuses to stand down, Vincent abducts one "loved one" of each team member. Episode Grade: 211 Dave B+  Wayne B  212 A-

Marcy takes extreme measures to regain her missing memories, and she finds more than she bargains for. We learn the truth behind her intellectual challenges and witness her first meeting with David. MacLaren's team joins forces with the recently released Luca and Hall to protect a young girl who's been identified as POTUS 53. Episode Grade: A-

Philip attends an historians meeting and receives his first timeline data update, but it's not without its consequences. Hall and Luca gain an early release from prison and resurface in a mission that complicates his already tenuous relationship with MacLaren. The team members continue to accept the fact that these are their new lives despite Hall's warning to not get caught up in the trappings of the 21st. Episode Grade: Dave A  Wayne B+

Traveler 0027 aka Grace, stands trial for disrupting the Grand Plan, but all is not as it seems as the Director has something else in mind. Even though MacLaren's team appears to be making progress in its fight against the Faction, another serious issue has cropped up. The timeline is changing, and Philip's knowledge of the past is no longer as relevant as it once was. Episode Grade: A-

This interview first appeared as part of the December 2017 Sci Fi Fidelity Podcast on Den of Geek US and can be heard here in its entirety. Lindy Booth plays Cassandra Cillian on the TNT series, but some of you may remember her from the time travel show Odyssey 5.

The Home Team sets out to retrieve a meteor whose properties give rise to materials necessary to create the Director, but the Faction stands in its way. What makes this episode so compelling is that we don't know whether the characters are trapped in some sort of time loop or a repeated simulation. Peripheral characters must repeat their steps to ultimately prevent the Faction from winning this battle. Episode Grade: A
