‘Timeless’ finale leaves open many
enticing possibilities for next season
NBC
After a successful season
punctuated by moderate reviews
and a decent following, NBC’s
time-travelling drama “Time-
less” may have
reached the end
of
a
chapter,
though
it
has
yet to close the
book. The sole
fact that “Time-
less” draws upon
historical events
only proves the
extent to which they can take
the drama. Paired with the fact
that co-producer Eric Kripke is
not one for short seasons, fans
can expect “Timeless” to be
in for the long-haul. So, with
a finale that thrived on twists
and cliff-hangers, what makes
“Timeless” different than other
series of this nature?
The finale began in the pres-
ent, as the Lifeboat returns to
treat Rufus (Malcolm Barrett,
“War on Everyone”) from a gun-
shot wound before promptly
returning to the past — Wash-
ington, D.C. in 1954, to be pre-
cise.
However,
when
Lucy
(Claudia Doumit, “All My Chil-
dren”) and Wyatt (Matt Lanter,
“Star Wars Rebels”) are framed
as Soviet spies by Flynn (Goran
Višnjić, “ER”), who blackmailed
Senator McCarthy into disclos-
ing the location of the Ritten-
house summit, they must rely
on familial ties to take down
Rittenhouse. More specifically,
Lucy’s grandfather, whom they
track back to a ‘50s era gay bar.
The conversation that ensues
displays the best of “Timeless,”
which is a message of hope and
love. The moments
that
are
shared
between Lucy and
her grandfather are
emotional moments
that really click.
In
the
same
manner,
many
moments are hit-
and-miss, such as
those between Rufus and his
injured girlfriend Jiya (Clau-
dia Doumit, “Losing in Love”).
Though the Lifeboat is typical-
ly meant for three passengers,
Rufus’s injury persuades Jiya to
join the gang on their blast to the
past. Soon after, she begins to
experience the uncharted side
effects of wormhole travel via
violent seizures and bloodshot
eyes. There are moments in this
performance where the couple is
perhaps over-playing their roles,
and yet a silent speech between
the two shows a tender moment
and is just another aspect that
“Timeless” proves it is spec-
tacular at pulling off. Perhaps if
“Timeless” realizes its strengths
whilst addressing its weakness-
es with the cliched romance,
these romances can withstand
the test of time. Later on in the
episode, another seizure from
Jiya, which seemingly pulls her
between the ‘50s and present
day, proves that “Timeless” has
only touched the surface of long-
standing effects of time travel.
Despite the overall success of
the finale, the episode was still
decently rushed for the amount
of material on the agenda. For
example, Lucy and Wyatt’s final
confrontation with Flynn feels
a little rushed and the last few
moments of the series deserved
more time than the air time
allowed. As Lucy returns home
to her mother to express her
desire to save her younger sis-
ter in the past, she uncovers
an ugly truth — to Lucy’s hor-
ror, her mother is a member of
the Rittenhouse, a fact which
makes Lucy practically “Rit-
tenhouse royalty.” In a moment
where there are few words, the
actresses work the facial expres-
sions and wordless dialogue
with a believable ease. Though
there are many questions still
up in the air as to the fate of the
time-travelling team, the show’s
creators are confident (perhaps
even prematurely so) that view-
ers will be able to follow the
Lifeboat onwards to season two
of the series. Until then, “Time-
less” should consider keeping
its weaknesses from affecting
its strengths and drawing from
the moments that truly make
“Timeless” a memorable and
historically interesting drama
series.

Season 1 Finale

Vanessa Carlton keeps things both
honest and relevant at The Ark show
HBO
Last February 23rd at the
Ark, it was clear what song
Vanessa Carlton was going
to open with even before she
started playing it. She said
that she was going to perform
this one first — “just to let this
ship sail” — and immediately
people in the audience started
clapping and cheering, know-
ing that Carlton’s 2002 hit, “A
Thousand Miles,” was about to
follow.
Some artists will save their
most popular songs for later in
the show, just to keep the audi-
ence guessing, but I admired
Carlton’s
approach,
getting
it out of the way. It actually
cleared the air and allowed
her to go full speed ahead
with performances of some of
her more recent work, a lot of
which I personally found more
musically interesting than “A
Thousand Miles.”
Carlton has an organic voice
that comes across as sharp and
sweet at the same time. It’s
melodic and smooth, but it also
can have a bit of an edge, and
her range is nothing to ques-
tion, either. Listening to her
unique voice, it sounded like
it was coming less from any
strong outer influences, and
more from years of her own
personal experience crafting
it. Add to that her distinctive
songwriting and piano-play-
ing skills, and it isn’t hard to
tell why so many of the people
at the Ark that night were so
excited to see her. A couple
of them called out requests at
different times, and just from
listening to some of the things
the people around me were
saying, I could tell that many
of them were serious about
Carlton. Some had driven to
Ann Arbor from out of town to
see her perform, and many had
already seen her shows in the
past.
After “A Thousand Miles,”
Carlton did a few more songs
that the crowd recognized and
applauded — “Carousel,” “Fair-
weather Friend” — before mov-
ing into work from her newest
album, Liberman. According to
Carlton, the album was named
after her family’s original sur-
name, which was changed by
her grandfather earlier in the
twentieth century. While she
was performing these songs,
she had a painting of her
grandfather’s projected onto
the wall behind her, featuring
three women dancing in what
looks like a sort of ritual. The
women were all based on the
same model, which inspired
Carlton, as she said it looked
like the woman was “in a ritual
with herself.”
It was interesting to hear
the stories that Carlton would
tell to introduce each song. In
addition to her family’s histo-
ry with the name “Liberman,”
she had songs that referenced
or addressed people in her life,
such as an ex (“Fairweather
Friend”), her daughter Sidney
(“River”), and her husband (“I
Don’t Want to Be a Bride”).
One song, “Annie,” was dedi-
cated to a young girl Carlton
met through the Make-a-Wish
Foundation many years ago,
who since then has continued
to battle cancer and recently
celebrated her quinceanera.
Carlton also used some of
her songs to focus on current
social and political issues.
She
dedicated
her
perfor-
mance of “Who’s To Say” to
“all of us, because we’re all
human beings,” but prefaced
it with an address to anyone
in the LGBTQ community,
which
seemed
to
resonate
with a lot of the people in the
crowd. Later on in the night,
she performed another song,
“Marching Line,” in memory
of last year’s Paris attack. It
was clear, both from the song
itself and from the way that
Carlton was talking about it,
that this was an event that had
greatly affected her emotion-
ally, and she referred to art
as a “church” and a “sacred
space” that people could use to
try to somehow come to terms
with even the most devastating
events.
Carlton’s
accompanying
instrumentalist
took
some
of these social concerns into
a place of action at the end
of the show. He announced
to the audience before the
last song that while Carlton
was signing merchandise, he
would be sitting at a table with
stamped,
ready-to-go
post-
cards that audience members
could address to their rep-
resentatives. He had printed
out the addresses of Governor
Rick Snyder (R-MI), US Sena-
tor Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
and US Senator Gary Peters
(D-MI),
along
with
many
of their stances on political
issues, such as the environ-
ment and same-sex marriage.
Many audience members took
him up on this after the show,
including myself. Throughout
the show, he had been a terrific
talent, switching easily and
often
between
instruments
like the violin and the guitar,
and it was refreshing to see
him and Carlton using their
artistic platform to propel peo-
ple toward concrete changes.
It’s one thing to suggest that
people write to their represen-
tatives, but it’s another thing
to print out those represen-
tatives’ information and put
stamped postcards and pens in
people’s hands.
Rather than leaving the
stage at the end and then com-
ing back out for an encore,
Carlton simply stayed out, tell-
ing the audience beforehand
that this would be their last
song. I had never really seen
that done at a concert before,
and it struck me as fitting that
Carlton was finishing her show
on the same note that she had
started it: She was refreshingly
honest, and to the benefit of
both herself and her audience,
she was doing this her own
way.
