So it looks like Journeyman’s journey has ended a bit prematurely.
BooHoo.
It’s a series that had some interesting elements but took far too long to properly develop any kind of plot or series cohesion. Frankly i never got it…though plenty of others did.
As is the case with every SciFi that meets an early demise there are always those who want to bring it back..save it like Star Trek was saved by fans.
With Journeyman though i’m not sure it’ll work. But hey you never know. Check out the SaveJourneyman trailer and decide for yourself if you’ve got the power to save a show.

When we first heard about Journeyman it sounded like a decent concept..a time travelling dude trying to fix wrongs.
It sounded a bit like Quantum Leap…problem is ..that it wasn’t Quantam Leap. The show just never had legs and just didn’t make sense. Sure speculative fiction can take leaps but if you’re audience isn’t clued in..what’s the point?
Word is now that Journeyman is set to be canceled with its 12th episode.
“Episode 12 is the end of our order,” Falls told the Premium Hollywood Website . “And let’s not kid ourselves. It’s a long shot that we would get a back nine, given the strike and our questionable numbers.”
The final episode could well finally solve the big question that Journeyman revolves around though..that is..why is he travelling in the first place and what does his ex-wife have to do with it?
Oh and Journeyman airs tonight Monday November 26th…there is yet another rumor out there that suggests that the show might not even get aired past tonight…we’ll see.

I finally got around to watching an episode of Journeyman last night…and I was somewhat underwhelmed.
The basic premise is that the dude travels back and forth in time to ‘fix’ things.
It sounds alot like Quantum Leap – but it’s not even close. The time transitions are awkward and confusing – which i understand they should be..but it makes it difficult as a viewer to follow along.
Also there is no ‘catch’ no real rationale behind the jumps other than to – set things right.
It’s a concept that Quantum Leap did much better.
