Deep Dive: NBC's Timeless Season 2
Clint's been temporarily displaced from time, so this week Allison is joined by co-pilot Kate Kulzick (and special guest Carly Lane, contributing editor for Syfy Wire) to talk about the stellar season 2 of Timeless! NBC's time-travel adventure show just finished a rip-roaring, entertaining sophomore season after being barely rescued from cancellation, with all the history jokes and fetching period costumes you can shake a stick at. In the wake of Timeless' jaw-droppingly delicious season finale, our resident Clockblockers dig deep into their favorite episodes of the season, the MVPs of the show, and Carly's incredible Syfy Wire piece on how the show(along with perennial TV Party fave Outlander) explores historical witch-hunts.
