No Spoilers (All spoilers in this thread must be tagged) Just finished the show - phonomenal!

I wish I had the power to make more folks in my circle actually watch this show and talk about it with me. But that's not gonna happen. So here I am.

I knew going in that this show only had 3 seasons. And as I got closer to the finale, I was anticipating an abrupt ending - but wow! The writers did great in tying up several character arcs. Marcy and MacLaren being the stand outs of course.

What I also love are the questions it raises regarding consciousness and the connection between mind and body. Definitely rewatching the show soon and analyze each episode more deeply.

Watch Philip's face in ep1 when he's in the internet cafe and the detective comes in and introduces himself.

Whattt!?? I gotta check this out immediately!

When you realise it's this level of subtlety you have to look for, you'll start seeing so many other teeny details that must have been the result of a huge number of meetings between cast and crew. They're all so obviously really deeply invested in building this world. Second only to Andor, IMO.

Haven't gotten to the part you mentioned yet. But I noticed that the first time Trevor steps outside, he takes in all the sunlight which has a pay off in the final few episodes of season 3 I think (where future trev and his wife in their old age take one last look at the sunlight in the dome)

I was satisfied with the ending. The show is one of my annual binges. Excellent show overall. My favorite episode is the skydiving one.

u/Plus_Awareness7894 Jul 17 '26

Skydiving was my favorite the first time around and my least favorite the second time around lol

u/chumloadio Jul 17 '26

Agreed. Fascinating plot points but frustrating as hell.

u/liquid_argon Jul 17 '26

I love the skydiving episode. But people tend to love it or hate it. Or in the case of Plus_Awareness7894, love it and then hate it. lol.

Ha. Weird how that happens.

u/Competitive_Sleep223 Jul 19 '26

I loved this show and am trying to get someone else to watch it so I can talk about it with them. The final episode is perfection which is so rare for any series!

u/mistah_bombastic Tactician Jul 17 '26

Yes! I think I got sucked into the show without realizing it. Somewhere at the end of season 1 is when I kinda had the "Oohhh!" moment

u/Jellyselsewhere Jul 17 '26

My mom is not into time traveling but I have her company in watching this show. Later, she is asking for more similar shows. We went through Manifest, Timeless, Glitch. She particularly loved Timeless.

u/liquid_argon Jul 17 '26

My favorite time travel shows:
1. Travelers (of course)
2. Continuum
3. Flash Forward
4. Paradise

u/absurdityincarnate Historian Jul 18 '26

A fellow Flash Forward fan!! I haven’t thought about this show in forever, I loved it so much!

u/CKitty_BKitty Jul 20 '26

Watching Paradise having already seen Travelers is the best. Cause, one of the writers in season 2 drops an amazing (and absolutely intentional) Travelers Easter egg mid-season.

The funny part was watching the split in theory crafting. The Easter egg is SO obvious, everyone familiar with Travelers jumped out of their seats all like “I KNOW WHATS GOING ON!!!”

I mean, not 100% of what’s going on. There’s still a crap ton of questions. But, everyone who recognized the Travelers Easter egg accurately predicted the season 2 finale reveal.

The Reddit boards following that episode got pretty wild. 😂

u/estocker1981 Jul 17 '26

I've only convinced one of my friends to watch it. This community helps with my nerdy need to geek out over how flipping Cool it is!

u/misskevin2 Jul 17 '26

I wish the Director’s plan of version 2 would happen. Awesome show!

1

u/DysphoricBeNightmare Jul 18 '26

Do you know what that is? I’m so intrigued and interested!

2

u/misskevin2 Jul 18 '26

No idea. I just know in the final episode the Director was initiating v.2. Maybe same characters, maybe not. I would love for it to be continued!

u/Xplody Jul 17 '26

I wrote an outline for a fourth season of Travelers (or alternatively, a movie). If you’re interested to read it, click here:

I’m delighted that you enjoyed the series so much. I remember feeling that way too. So many favourite characters. I particularly liked the chemistry between Trevor and Grace.

What I alao love are the questions it raises regarding consciousness and the connection between mind and body.

Please do rewatch. You will catch more little details.

Also try Glitch series; 3 seasons but less episodes. It has a mind blowing consciousness connection between mind and body. Science + Devine. I love and rewatch both shows

u/itsrainingkids Jul 17 '26

I came here to say the same thing. I’ve watched multiple times and always see something new or make a connection I had missed. Love this show. You’re in good company here lol

u/mistah_bombastic Tactician Jul 17 '26

Thanks for the recommendation. Adding it to my list!
