Journeyman

Journeyman Recaps

• Finalewatch: 'Journeyman'

  Journeyman ends the season right where it began, giving us plenty to chew over and savor. It's like a Möbius strip pretzel.

• 'Journeyman': Every picture tells a story

  OK, explain to me again why NBC didn't stick with Journeyman? Because this episode was funny, tense and mind-blowing -- plus it answered a few questions (maybe) and raised several more.

• 'Journeyman': A Christmas to remember

  The holidays can be stressful -- all the baking and decorating, plus disapproving family coming to visit.

• 'Journeyman': Unintended consequences

  First, the good news: It looks like we get at least one more episode of Journeyman, although it's still up in the air whether the final episode filmed before the strike will make it onto TV.

• 'Journeyman' fights history

  Journeyman is at a crossroads, both in the show and on the network. The network apparently wants to see some big Nielsen numbers with this two-part episode, and I hope they get that (although it's ridiculous if they don't take DVD and downloaded viewings into consideration.)

• 'Journeyman' starts to become clearer

  We're starting to get more clues on Journeyman -- clues about Livia, about Langley, and about Dan himself. Plus, Jack is starting to get a clue, which is nice. But all this clue-getting doesn't necessarily make anyone's lives any easier.

• 'Journeyman': Man vs. self

  Have you ever wanted to dope-slap your past self for all the stupid things you've done? Dan gets to do just that, and then some, on Journeyman. Lucky guy.

• Journeyman: He ain't heavy, he's my brother

  Sibling relations are tough on Journeyman -- if it's not one brother marrying his older brother's ex-girlfriend, becoming a compulsive gambler, and then getting unstuck in time at the most inopportune moments, it's an older brother with rage and robbery issues covering up for his mad-genius, mad-bomber younger brother in the past. Makes my fights with my sisters about eavesdropping and makeup-stealing seem pretty trivial.

• 'Journeyman' ratchets up the pressure

  Once again, the family drama proves to be most compelling element on Journeyman. I almost got a little queasy watching this episode, because Dan gets yanked out of time at the worst possible moment -- when he's watching over his son in a crowded place. You can see him panicking when he realizes he's about to be pulled away, and there's nothing he can do. And oh, poor Zach! All of a sudden, he's alone, surrounded by strangers. How terrifying.

• 'Journeyman': Top hat, white tie and time travel

  OK, so no one wears a top hat on Journeyman -- actually, do you see those anywhere anymore? -- but Dan does wander around in a tux for much of the episode. Rowr! If Daniel Craig gets tired of the Bond thing, Kevin McKidd could fill his dinner jacket nicely. Now if only he could get a handle on this unstuck-in-time stuff...
