Thank God For Full Episodes Online
Thanks to the folks at ABC, I just got caught up on what is fast becoming my favorite summer series: "Traveler".
Can I just say, "DAMN!" This show keeps getting better and better! Besides the action, excitement and overall pace of the show, what I particularly like is that I think it will have a definite ending. ABC cut their original thirteen episode order down to eight, and tonight (well tonight for me, last Wednesday 07/11 for probably everyone else) was episode number seven.
While I don't think that the entire story will wrap up in the next episode, I can't see them dragging this story out over too many seasons (a la 24). If they had another season of eight episodes I think they could finish nicely. Only time will tell if ABC is going to try and milk this show for all it's worth leaving its audience rolling their eyes an asking if it's ever going to end.
I honestly would like to see that as a trend in well written TV series (i.e. LOST, Traveler, 24). Let's have a beginning a middle and an end. Tell a story, and take as many episodes as are necessary to tell that story. When it's done, move on to the next show. Until the producers of LOST announced that there was going to be a definite ending date for the series, I was almost ready to give up. I was resigning myself to the fact that they'd never answer any questions or they'd just keep answering our questions with more questions. But instead they came out and said, okay we need x number of episodes to finish telling the story and then we're done.
I hope Traveler will follow the same path, because I can't wait to see how this one ends! :o)
Cheers!
