Remember Journeyman? What Was Gonna Happen? Ain't It Cool Talks to Creator Kevin Falls
I watched the first few weeks of Journeyman last season and it was okay for a time and then got really weird. At least for me. I wanted more exposition than I got, it frustrated me, and I gave up.
Maybe it made more sense to you. Apparently, it made enough sense to enough people that when it was reported that the show wouldn't be back there was a attempt by the fans to save it.
You fans of the show will be interested in the AintItCool.com interview with creator Kevin Falls (right), who sits with them to fill you in on most of the stuff that you didn't get out of 13 episodes that were produced.
What else was ahead for Dan, Katie, Livia, Jack and Jack's hot girlfriend? How many of the [never-shot] final nine episode storylines had you worked out before the strike?
Katie and Dan were going to split up for a while. [Dan’s brother] Jack and Dan were going to live together and then Dan and Katie would get back together. Livia was going to die in episode 20. Dan was going to save her in 21. And in 22, Dan would come back to his house in the present like he did in the pilot and someone else would be living there. Katie and Zack would be gone and this time Dan would have no idea how to get his family back.
And then we'd start season two. I'm getting depressed thinking about it. This staff was so fucking smart. We would have just gotten better. You know, I'm not bitter toward NBC as much as I am the mainstream critics who collectively dismissed us without giving us a second look. I think when we went out we were doing some of the best TV out there. And I’m so grateful that the on-line community embraced this show, actually got the show and ended up being the wind in our sails for the second half of the season.

And there's more stuff over there. Click and read. I'm going back to take another pass at it and try to make some sense of the show.
