Journeyman

Sore eye sitrep: I have conquered this, my eyes feel much better today! EEE! Squee! Thank you very much for all support!!!! But I am still trying to take it easy on eye strain which resulted in me mostly spending all the time of a sofa asleep and eating chocolates by kilograms. I am very much convinced that it was chocolates that healed my eyes and NOT the antibiotic eye drops prescribed by our GP. :P

Journeyman The only thing I HAD to watch was the first episode of Vorenus Kevin McKidd's new series "Journeyman". I must say that time travel never was my favourite direction of science fiction (I am more of a fantasy and space opera gal) and I am still not convinced the show's premise is strong enough to make it last . BUT! I did like the first episode of "Journeyman" quite a lot, mostly because all four of the main characters came across as interesting..





Our main hero, Dan Vasser – complex, tortured and SO BLUE EYED! He lost his first love to a plane crush.



He is a possessor of a real ROMAN profile:




But he tends to jump in time unexpectedly and finds himself in all sorts of strange places. One time he is used as a crawl-ground for snails. Eeeek! Snails and slugs creep me out in a serious way!



His all-suffering wife Katie. Why all-suffering? There are some past gambling stories and there is eternal feeling of "Am as good as the plane crush lady?"



Who was very pretty



Dan's brother Jack also has blue eyes and holds a big torch for Katie:



Dan's little san, Zach. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!



When thrown into the past Dan tries to change things, not realising that some things should be left alone and never come back! Like some fashions, for example:



Because Dan is absent for long periods of time everyone around him decides that he is taking drugs. Or gambling again. Or both:



But Dan is happy as he gets to re-live some of his happy days with Livia:



And his eyes! His eyes!

The character Vorenus is very dynamic. I know it made an impact on me. That character is on my list of one of the most strong I've seen in a tv show serial in a very long time...if ever.


Did you catch tonight's episode of Journeyman?
