I was hoping that TV was finally going to produce a story about time travel that was consistent through and through. <br /><br />Instead it seems to have decided that, after weeks of 'the visions are the unalterable future', that it's not going to go down that route. <br /><br />Prior to tonight's episode I thought that perhaps this was a clever, multi layered show that would have a rock solid 'you can't change the future once it's observed' central message. I'd even started developing theories about the characters being trapped in self fulfilling loops of time - Mark following clues because they were on his wallboard....but only being on the wallboard because he'd followed clues that were...er....on his wallboard! Circular logic pasted to the wall of an FBI office. I was hoping that the characters would realise this, but that reality would pull them ever onwards, unable to avoid the future. <br /><br />Now it's either got to bring Gough back some how, or it's (IMO) blown it big time.Alex Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083943878149587831noreply@blogger.com
