Another late post but I swear it's the last one. I'm officially done with school and unemployed so until I get a job--this is my job *sweats nervously* so while I panic about my future let me give you another reason you should watch Timeless because it's awesome and the fandom needs to really show up these last episodes and get us a renewal because NBC will probably not save us again.
So #Clockblockers do everything you can to bump the ratings. Scream it from the rooftops or we're toast.
The Writers Know: Ever since Jessica came back, let's face it, Wyatt has been acting like a little poo. That's right, a little poo. So poopy that I didn't even say "little shit". He's been such a douche that he has been elevated to poo status, and it has not gone unnoticed. There's been some pretty heavy Wyatt hate going around because he's been acting like a little poo. The only little poo that has feelings which was so incredibly annoying that you just wanted to reach through the TV and slap his cute little face because he was not the only one this was happening to.
Then last week Lucy called him out on it and everyone did a happy dance because she said exactly what we all were thinking and it was awesome. Which brings me to my point: the writers know. They were writing him that way because that was a completely understandable reaction for Wyatt given his background so they let him have it--and they let Lucy let him have it until it was getting in the way and they shut it down which was so refreshing. That never happens. She shut that down without much of a fuss. It was handled with so much maturity it just reminded me of why I love this show, and that's because they don't have any superfluous drama. There's no ultimatums or easily avoidable miscommunications because the characters talk about problems in realistic ways. Real people aren't completely communicative all the time, but they're not unreasonably uncommunicative either and I feel the writers so a very good job walking that line. They let Wyatt have his melodramatic crap and then told him to knock it off when it was getting in the way. I mean really Wyatt? You have the audacity to comment on her imagined one-nightstand? Even if she had slept with Flynn sweetie that is none of your goddamn business and you definitely don't get to tell her how she can and cannot save history.
And it's not only Lyatt. They do this with Riya too. Jiya's visions are scary and she and Rufus are just trying to figure it all out and find their footing in this weird new reality where premonitions are a thing, and no doubt shit got ugly there for a minute ("I'm not your dad" Rufus baby no just no babe) but they understood that it's a weird situations and they're both just trying to figure it out. They take impossible circumstances and make these characters handle them in such real ways it's one of the many reasons this show is amazing.
So please, just keep watching. The problems you see--they already saw them. They know, so just wait and see how they address it--because they will. Worrying about all the ways they could make the Jessica thing annoying and weird? Tune in because I bet you before they brought her back, they thought of that. Just see what they do because even if it's not what you thought, it will be fitting for the incredible show they give us every week.
Don't forget to live tweet and tag @NBC and if you can't watch live please watch for free on the NBC app. Everything helps. Watch. Rewatch. Tell your friends and help us #RenewTimeless. This show and this fandom deserve it.
Now go get some tea :)
Sincerely,
