I have had a story idea of a similar time travel concept (with a fake evil person) where each chapter is basically "Ok, thenworld is ending, but we will time travel and stop this despot.". Then they send say, a woman back. Next chapter, "Ghe world is ending, we shall send someone back to stop this despot and his wife, "him, his wife, and his manservant, "hum, his wife, and his respected general, and his manservant."
You get the idea. Basically, everytime travel goes back and gets seduced into helping the evil guy, and each new timeline is unaware of previous attempts, but the historical records mentions "new people".
That is the entire plot to Travelers summed up in a couple of sentences.
Such a good series, and this one actually made it to its conclusion without getting cancelled (or rather maybe it got cancelled in a way that let them finish the story, which actually seems kinda likely because it did seem to end quite suddenly, but it was an ending at least, unlike some other great sci fi series).
Oh shit, I hate to break it to you, but the series was cancelled.... The conclusion was actually rushed, since it was planned to continue on indefinitely..... They must've just had incredibly talented writers.
Yeah, figures, just glad they had more of a chance to finish than Firefly or Dark Matter (which IMO looked even better than Firefly and made it to 3 seasons before getting canned).
Yeah same, but I'm really upset at the amount of quality content netflix keeps killing. They literally had a David Fincher TV series Mindhunters, that was absolutely incredible, but cancelled it due to "costs". The reality is, if Netflix just invested more into a smaller amount of films and shows, they could have made so much more money off them, by pushing them into the media spotlight. But instead they choose to give up every time something doesn't look profitable.
