superhero series NBC stepped up their
game and produced a prime-time favorite
featuring the likes of Ali Larter Milo
Ventimiglia and breakout star Hayden
Panettiere I need someone to talk to for
four seasons heroes crept into the
subconscious of both comic nerds and

death beginning in 1999 with Sarah and
John Connor hoping to thwart attacks
from a variety of post-apocalyptic
baddies the Sarah Connor Chronicles
jumps to the year 2007 which seems like
a horrible place to be given the
creation of Skynet terminators I’m good
I ran a test everything’s perfect I’m
perfect unfortunately the network threw
down the long sword of doom on this show
regardless of those poor fans that
wished for just one more season of

of a time traveler notwithstanding
however their counterparts across the
pond are surely familiar with the
original BBC one series starring John
Simm as a Manchester cop from 2006 who’s
launched back into the free love era of
the 1970s I used to come here
but with this Gary Numan cars of course
the rules and regulations changed a bit
throughout time and as Sam Tyler would
discover reality wasn’t quite what it
seemed to be gather round for the big
week you know come on come around game
with its title inspired by a David Bowie
song this series had everybody
questioning the actual premise but in a
good way if I can save you then who
knows maybe I can save myself because
he’s gonna get me to number five lost
certainly one of the most acclaimed
dramas ever to appear on network
television and a binge watch session
waiting to happen this ABC hit was
co-created by the force awakens director
JJ Abrams and centered around a
mysterious plane crash and a group of
utterly confused survivors
on the surface the island narrative
provides for a unique viewing experience
but once Jack and company come face to
face with the others

hotly debated time-travel stories of the
21st century

Wars crowd as this animated Cartoon
Network series features the voice of
Luke Skywalker himself
Mark Hamill out a nice French people who
I with a funny language and the talking
however on time squad Larry 3000 isn’t
the most useful of the bunch
in fact he is kind of a wimp it’s
horrible I feel like I don’t know who my
real friends are anymore
do they love me for me or because I’m
the creator of those Ares we found with
the task of maintaining about 100
million years of history so the future
can remain the beautiful utopia it is
oh listen clean materials is detect
screw-ups in history buck Larry and Otto
hold down the time squad as the series
presents viewers with some rather
hysterical alternative scenarios from us
sometimes distant sometimes not so
distant past
hey you destroyed my robots oh now I’m

number three steins gate Tajima mochila
Sarah knew the ropes and solid Amos in
bungee monkey no tenían cottage nothing

theories they could potentially lead to
a third world war
Spencer gate Allah that emotion and I

metadesk ever longer Maya can then my
sink I had skills allow kissing dice and
she said guy dies daimoku tonight but
with the young protagonists receiving
the most amazing of text messages and
being transported through time by way of
mobile microwaves whoa no saw sure you
do whoa no no no the characters of
steins gate find ways to protect their

authentic a number two quantum leap
something wrong never paid me for a
paper before well it’s about time I
started it’s the story of an ultra
brilliant ultra talented ultra
altruistic ultra charming physicist who
gets trapped in a time travel loop with
no one but his best friend al the
hologram to help him driven by an
unknown force to change history for the
better
but you could learn all that from the
credits as one of the more cultish time
travel shows in recent memory and we
mean that in the best possible way this
NBC series became must watch TV due to
its ability to tap into societal issues
while keeping its sense of humor waiting
you didn’t mention the Russians they
were behind the assassination that’s one
theory another one is that Oswald was
just pretending to be with the KGB was
really with CIA or the FBI went away
sure quantum leap often showcased
questionable scenarios that today’s

mojo holics is the centrepiece of a
classic time-travel series which has
allowed the show to renew itself with
each new doctorate casts and with each
time travel based storyline it
undertakes whether that takes them to
Rome the Old West or into outer space
oxygen radiant heat but this deep in
space
I wonder the doctor himself comes from a
planet called Gallifrey and let’s just
say he’s got the most complex backstory
of any time-traveling character in the
history of television he’s not one of
them is he well not so much one of them
