So who's watching Travelers?

[darkemeralds]

I timed my Season One and Season Two re-watch to end yesterday, so I could launch right into Season Three (which just dropped on Netflix). I'm trying to figure out what I find so compelling about this show. The theme music was running in my head all day today, saying, "Go home! Turn on Netflix! Watch Season Three!" like some kind of addiction.

I'm kind of fannish on Philip and Trevor, and wouldn't hate it if some more fic were to appear....

I paused my Netflix subscription this fall because I had too much going on at work, but they keep dropping new seasons of shows I watch and it is getting hard to resist. Maybe I'll binge around the New Year.

I remember being really shocked that the team executed their main mission *so early* in season one. I'm just used to sci-fi shows dragging that kind of thing out as long as possible to maintain the "mystery." I really appreciated that twist.

I was thinking that same thing this morning--how easily they could have dragged the big asteroid story out for 12 episodes.

I'm up to 302 now, and they're taking a whole new shift, really shaking things up. If you get your Netflix back, check it out!

As usual: Who? What? Does it involve building a fence?
;)

[darkemeralds]

Ha ha yeah. No fences to speak of in this show. 😂

Yes! I may have just um acquired S3 last night. I plan on binge watching either next week or next weekend :)

Ooh, lucky you! Whenever I discover something this good, I'm envious of the people who still have it all before them.

The beauty of Travelers is that--for me, anyway--the overall story is so complex that the episodes stand up to multiple re-watches. I've seen Season One three times now and I could easily watch it again.

I didn't know season 3 was out!

[darkemeralds]

Just came out day before yesterday!

I love this show! The characters are so great. I like that the men are soft and caring and the women are tough. I like the "fish out of water" feeling where they have to adapt and learn a new (old) culture.

I will probably watch some s3 this week. I'm also catching up on other shows so it may be a little while.

[darkemeralds]

It really does have a lot going for it!

I'm trying to parcel out my viewing of Season 3 so that it's not all gone in a day.

I saw it was back and watched 8 eps in a row yesterday.

I'm not enjoying this season as much as the first two, but that's still enough. I think I really loved the trying to fit into the 21st century, the love for mundane things they didn't have, the body dysphoria thing re age etc, and just the way they become attached to the people their bodies were close to and have to work around that....

I'm a bit annoyed this season by the way everyone's becoming a traveler and the 4 different groups all fighting one another somehow. It's getting too complex and our guys are getting a little lost in there...

And yes, Philip and Trevor are the best. I love them (and Marcy, though her BF is an asshole "good guy")

[darkemeralds]

Interesting take on David. Until S3 I genuinely liked him. I liked that he didn't mind being a kind, nonviolent man. Now he's beginning to bug me, but in my book Marcy was much more of an asshole to him than he was to her for the first season, at least.

I agree that S3 is getting really complex. I have mixed feelings about turning everyone into travelers. Wide-scope political stories often lose me a bit, but they seem to be including enough personal, emotional beats to keep me watching.
