Canada ’s time travel cop show Continuum is set for a 2nd season , so we may in reality get some resolution on the mad cliffhanger the show left us with . allot to the Showcase canal , the show will have a 13 - episode second time of year ( up from 10 episode for its first season ) in 2013 .
This is great news — and now let ’s go for the show gets nibble up in the United States soon . It’salready snuff it to be depict by the U.K. Syfy channel , so how long before the U.S. rendering grabs it as well ?
And let ’s hope , too , that the show takes some time to sort out its mythos . To be reliable , the second half of the first season did n’t excite me quite as much as the first half , and there were a number of thing in the time of year finale that had me scratching my head .
Spoiler warning signal …
In particular , I was unclear on why Kiera was suddenly trying to change history , when her charge — as express over and over on the show , and in the show ’s opening course credit — has always been to preserve the timeline she comes from . Okay , maybe she was win over by Kellogg that there was already no chance that the future she come from could possibly still exist , but I ’d like to have seen more sign of that before she did a 180 - degree change of direction . Yes , a terrorist bombing that kills tons of people is a big affair . But if it already happened in Kiera ’s own timeline , then it ’s already history and she should n’t even seek to touch it .
alike , I was ill-defined on why Liber8 suddenly was so invested in ca-ca indisputable the timeline deal place as history register it — if the bombing is already part of account , there ’s no demand for Kagame to blow himself up in it . And if Alec ’s step - brother Julian is already specify to become the terrorist leader Theseus , then there ’s no need to make certain that happens . It would be like me build a time machine and deciding to go back in time and make certain John Wilkes Boothe assassinate Lincoln — if nobody ’s trying to change that piece of history , then there ’s no indigence for a sentence traveller to try and safeguard it . Plus the existing timeline is the one that go to the dystopian future that Kagame and friend are supposed to be trying to prevent .
This sudden reversal in the time of year finale — Kiera strain to alter history , Kagame attempt to keep it — felt like it descend out of nowhere , and left me a niggling concerned about this show ’s guidance . But perchance it ’ll turn out that Future Alec has some unbelievably canny plan , and it ’ll all make full sense in time of year two . That ’s what I ’m hoping , anyway . [ Thanks , Hannibal ! ]
