NBC's Journeyman: Time Travel and Romance, Do They Mix?

As soon as I heard and read the buzz on this new TV show I knew it would be one I will watch...I am a big fan of Science Fiction and time travel...this show, Journeyman, contains both elements..

Production and Direction:

One of my favorite all time shows was West Wing so the thought of Kevin Falls, the creator, producer and writer of that show along with Alex Graves, the director and producer also of West Wing, and, who will be directing this pilot as well as being the executive producer, practically assures, in my mind at least, that Journeyman will be the show to watch this season.

The Story:

Dan Vasser, (Kevin McKidd, star of last years hit series, Rome), is a newspaper reporter in San Francisco, his life until now has been a perfect one, he has a devoted wife Katie, an adorable little boy and a fantastic job which he really enjoys...

But wait, things are about to change when he starts to have black outs and mysteriously travels back in time, where, in the past, he encounters his dead fiancée, Livia... Well, she is supposed to be dead since she was supposed to have been killed in a plane crash...these travels cause all sorts of problems in the present, when he can't explain where he has been during these strange disappearances to his family, friends and to those he works with the stress he feels causes even more problems when he has to try to make his friends and wife understand, how can he do that when he doesn't understand himself what is going on ..... And then it gets even more complicated with this new reunion with that old girlfriend. You can be sure this is going to cause quite a few new dilemmas in his life....these travels also impact others and, now that he knows the present, can he change the future?

One of the twists of Journeyman is that in order to get back home he must change events of at least one stranger's life who he connects with in the past.

The creator of the show, Kevin Falls, describes the series as being: "An epic romance with a sci-fi twist" That certainly sounds good to me and peaks my interest.
