Travelers (TV Series) Protocol 5 (2016) User Reviews

Boring episode

[stratus_phere · 6/10 · 30 January 2018]

This episode was pretty boring, almost pointless. They had no mission, it just showed them doing everyday things in their lives - oh yeah, and hallucinating from the antitoxin. You could skip this one and it would be ok. It was just about their current lives, nothing to do with being travelers from the future trying to save the world. But maybe you would enjoy that sort of thing.

You get to know better about every character...

I like this episode.... even thou nothing really happens, you get to know better every one of the characters, their thoutghs, their emotions, so bottom line it is a good episode if you want to know more about their backgrounds......

L4 - L5

Episode 7: Besides the interesting medical stuff, other matters are like before with nonsense writing; the "police" leader guy being the worst of them. It is already dragging, turns in circle and has lost its science fiction touch (for now).

loopholes are beginning to show

Up til now the series has been fun to watch. Nice story and good production values. I am afraid some plot holes and loose ends are beginning to show. Just to mention one, the last episode ended with the group and the female scientist, she knew everything; and now she is gone, no explanation. Might she come back?, we still don't know. This episode has been the weakest so far, I kept pressing the FF (big indicator for me). All the gratuitous sex and blood was a unnecessary. Perhaps they were setting it up for what might still come? Hope so -but taking 45 minutes to do so was a waste of my time. My attention was lost and I started doing 3 other things at the same time.

Boring episode

Soooo boring this one.

Nothing happens for a long time

Seriously bad writing.

[LeatherCajun · 4/10 · 26 April 2021]

The writers clearly don't care about the series and are writing for a different show. The travelers of Ep. 1 are world changing volunteers lead by an overarching intelligence to save millions or lives and maybe the entire world. By this episode, the stakes are the personal family/medical drama variety, with little or no loyalty by these travelers to their mission. The travelers make decisions that make no sense for the perspective of their mission and focus on personal loyalties to people that we as an audience believe they just met and barely really know. One of the writers insists on building audience tension by faking out the audience, letting them believe something that the main point of view characters clearly don't believe. This happens almost every episode and it is dumb and cheap. Setting up a fake kidnapping and betrayal with hooded armed gunman to get your FBI partner to a 15 year service surprise party is over the top stupid. I want to like the show. The premise in fascinating...but the writers and show runners seem uninterested in the premise and we get some weird combination of a police procedural/hospital drama instead.

If this episode were a stage in the Tour de France

[douderfeinix · 4/10 · 20 January 2024]

If this episode were a stage in the Tour de France, I would call it a transfer stage. The drivers (er, the Travelers) shake their legs, eat and drink unhurriedly as they drive at a leisurely pace on the flat. The reporters talk about one or the other's family background. We look at castles and landscapes and talk about cheese and wine. When driving over a pass in the third category, you have the opportunity to list who has led the mountain classification in the past on the tour. Because there is nothing else more exciting, doping is discussed using alcohol and drugs. Then it goes leisurely down into the valley and not even the finish line creates any excitement because there is not a single change in the classification. There anre'nt any spoilers, because nothing happens in this episode.
