Time Will Tell

Are you ready for more Sci Fi after watching Westworld?  How about some time travel?  If so, NBC's new series Timeless, premiering tonight, might be for you.  

Eric Kripke from Supernatural is part of the creative team, so I became hopeful.  Then I remembered this was the same Kripke of the aimless Revolution series, so I am cautious. Yet this is what NBC is selling, a

...thrilling action-adventure series in which a mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Our only hope is an unexpected team: a scientist, a soldier and a history professor who use the machine's prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. Can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it's too late?

And yes, it involves significant events from the Hindenburg disaster to Abraham Lincoln's night at the theater.  This clip explains the show a little more.  

If this show goes the way of Fringe or Twelve Monkeys it will be added to my list. However, TV land is littered with many failures of this genre, so I am very skeptical. Only time will tell. And should time travel work, maybe we will be in a loop until it works (and we will never know).
