A Love of a Lifetime
Gretchen Egolf
Having just watched the
Pilot, I now remember why I loved this show. Although it was exhilarating to see the episode unfold, it was also making me angry because in the back of my mind all I could think about is "Why was this cancelled?". The
Pilot sets up the entire series perfectly and immediately hooks you in because you absolutely need to tune in and see the story unfolding.
I knew this was going to be a winner when
Dan (Kevin McKidd) keeps bouncing back and forth between present day and random moments in the past as he try's to make sense of what is going on as he tracks the life of whoever it is that is neccessary to save. This is where it's different from
Quantum Leap. In
QL, the protagonist never has to deal with two worlds at once, but in
Journeyman, not only does
Dan have to keep up with the one he is trying to save, but he also has to save his marriage in present day and it's much harder to do when you keep disappearing for days on end, especially when you have a history of gambling problems.
In this one, he has to track
Neal Gaines and save him for whatever reason. But not everything is what you think...
