Life's not fair. That's an axiom we learn very early in life, and despite the truthfulness of the statement, it never brings any comfort, solace, or calm to any situation...just cold, harsh reality. This is one of those instances. For years, I have extoled the virtues of NBC's long-canceled show "Journeyman" on this blog, but it has been YEARS since I've actually watched "Journeyman". I remember quite a bit and have forgotten quite a bit, but from what I remember, I remember it being 10/10. There are very few shows that I have absolute adoration for; most are the usual suspects: "The Sopranos", "Breaking Bad", "L O S T", "True Detective: Season One" (because that's the only season that matters) but "Journeyman" was presented as a lead-in to "Heroes" and a mid-season replacement nonetheless, there wasn't much hype surrounding the series as it didn't carry any big names, the only recognizable names being an up and coming Kevin McKidd and TV cancer herself Moon Bloodgood (who we previously referenced in our discussion of "Day Break").
I won't rehash what I said about "Day Break," but all of it applies to "Journeyman". Sometimes TV shows come out at the wrong time, and because of that, they don't make as much of a splash as they could have. I firmly believe "Journeyman" is one of those TV shows. I pitched it as my generation's "Quantum Leap", except instead of jumping into different bodies, our main character, Dan Vasser, is jumping through time and helping alter events in the future and changing lives. I might as well discuss the plot since I gave you a little taste, but I'll be more robust.
