Club. Timeless is an odd series. Tonally, its a bit all over the place, sometimes a rambunctious time travel heist, sometimes a moody sci fi drama, and sometimes an Alias style, twist driven story of nefarious secret organizations and double agents and so on. In all of these shows, characters and history sit at the center, and while the whiplash between styles ensures that the show isnt often predictabe, it also rarely feels settled, complete, or fully formed. With The Assassination of Jesse James, Timeless bucks that trend. As with The Alamo and Party at Castle Varlar, the latter of which was also written by Jim Barnes, who pens this weeks installment, the episode manages to balance the silliness, trip to Wikipedia historical nuggets, and overall mythology with a story that roots the characters in struggles that matter. Its pretty simple, really. They just raise the stakes, in big ways and small, and tie the struggles of the characters to a theme that resonates historically. ZK3wCZjk/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Lincoln Heights Season 2 Episode 6' title='Lincoln Heights Season 2 Episode 6' />Its not sensational, but its impeccably made, without a scene or moment wasted. Add in a few solid quips and one unexpectedly funny shot of Abigail Spencer falling over a horse, and youve got Timeless as, perhaps, it will be a history loving time travel story that takes its characters seriously and itself, not at all. Its not without flaw, of course. The episode opens with a trio of scenes that set up exactly what will be burdening the minds of the three leads, and while each is effective in its wayRufuss especially so, given how unexpected it isthey dont exactly run together smoothly. Still, it gets the job done, and in no time we see Wyatt meet the man who probably killed his wife Not unless I had a time machine, drop into Lucys nightmare about her sister, whose birthday she forgot, and watch Jiya excitedly tell Rufus shes the next Lifeboat pilot. That ones particularly engaging, given that its the direct result of Rufuss line drawn in the sand in the preceding episode. Each neatly ups the stakes for each of our leads, particularly in Rufuss case. His scene with Conor Mason Paterson Joseph adds a deadline into the mix Itll take six months to train Jiya, at which point Rufus becomes expendable. Thats a lot to pack in before the credits, and thats not even the end of it. Next up Jesse James Daniel Lissing, not getting killed while dusting a painting thanks to the timely arrival of Garcia Flynn. Its all remarkably efficient for Timeless, which has often spent a lot of time on exposition and vague worldbuilding. Instead, weve got three character focal points and a pairing that will last for most of the episode and give Goran Visnjic more of substance to do than hes had in the series thus far. What ties all these threads together is death, which hangs over the episode like flies above a carcass. Barnes draws together threads that have mostly floated emptily along, revisiting Rufuss shock over having to kill a man, Wyatts insistence that killing can be both necessary and righteous and his lingering struggles with his experiences in war, and Lucys feeling of responsibility in the erasure of her sister. Better still, it loops in some things that Timeless has not yet addressed a surprisingly high body count, Flynns obvious pleasure in inflicting pain, even when it doesnt connect to his mission, and whether or not killing a man is right when it means protecting history. These Timeless histories are best when were meeting historical figures that havent permeated the cultural consciousness as much as, say, any of the American Presidents this show has featured. Ian Fleming Davy Crockett But Bass Reeves and Grant Johnson top the list, thanks in no small part to a pair of great supporting performances. As Reeves, Colman Domingo Fear the Walking Dead radiates power and calm, making him exactly the kind of person you want accompanying you on a dangerous mission to catch a famous outlaw.

Its a delightful surprise to see Timeless address the fact that Flynns plan is needlessly violent, given his aims it turns what seemed like a massive plot hole into a clever piece of character development. It also fills the time as James and Flynn make their way to the treasure on Flynns map, and lo and behold, its a person. Its not even a member of Rittenhouse. Its another pilot, and of all the clever parallels The Assassination of Jesse James pulls off, this one is perhaps the most satisfying. Emma 2. 4s Annie Wersching makes twin appearances here, first in her brief scenes with Flynn as he recruits her to Team Evil Time Travelers, and second in footage Jiya yanks from the Mason Industries servers. We learn that Emma faked her own death to escape Rittenhouse and Mason Industries, and shes been hiding in the Old West ever since. The trick of introducing a second pilot as a threat, in more ways than one, to Rufus while also planting a second pilot for Flynns team is a neat one, allowing for an incredibly efficient and effective exposition drop that allows us to see Flynns recruitment of Emma while we watch Jiya discover that a womans death was hidden from her. Its a terrific and slightly frightening sequence, masterfully constructed. Cheers to Barnes and director John F. Showalter, because this worked like gangbusters. It all leads up to the final showdown, of course. After Grant dies, Wyatt and Bass Reeves face off about whether or not its best to kill Jesse James, who makes a point of disarming himself and surrendering after blowing the cabin to pieces with a piece of high tech weaponry, no less. Of all the surprises in this episode, the revelation that its ultimately Lucy who kills Jesse James is the greatest. Abigail Spencers terrific in this show, week in and week out, but this is easily her best moment. Knowing what happened to her sister, and what could happen to others, she safeguards history and takes a life. Its stirring stuff. Theres a coda, of course, with Jiya finding herself threatened by Mason, Wyatt appealing to Rufus to help him steal the Lifeboat and jump back to stop his wifes killer without killing him, and Lucy finding herself in the pages of history as Jesse Jamess killer, and its all great, but the heart of the episode stops when Lucy pulls that trigger. Timeless isnt like this every week, but if this is an indicator of where the show could go, then the world had better start calling out for its renewal. Stray observations. So if Lucy remembered Amys birthday in her dream, doesnt that mean she rememberedTimeless continues to be progressively more thoughtful in the ways it addresses race. I particularly liked Rufuss tone deaf questioning of Grant. Even the most thoughtful of us can be idiots sometimes. The look on Rufuss face when he realizes the Lone Ranger was black is incredible. The fact that I, and Im guessing lots of other people watching, didnt know that is horrible. And Tonto Good lord. You cant grow a pair of low hangin fruit. The west is a lot different than I thought it would be. Lot more cold sores. So its like the scary version of Blazing Saddles. Why didnt anyone else tell Jiya about Emma You think thered be some sort of memorial. TV shows Heres a quick listing of shows that wont be back for the 2. TV season.
