Movie Reviews of Timeslip: The Complete Series
Movie Review: Find Of A Lifetime
Summary: 5 Stars
This series is, very simply, the most intriguing science fiction show I've ever seen. Call it a thinking man's Doctor Who - and that's saying a lot because Doctor Who is itself far more than just ray guns and monsters. There's a definite Doctor Who feel about it - at least early Doctor Who - not so much because of the time travel element, though, as the sets, the costumes, the dialogue and, especially, the pacing of the stories. Some might dismiss this show as being anti-science; but it isn't so much against science as it is cautious about letting science dictate the terms of human existence exclusively. The two main characters (sixteen year old Simon and fifteen year old Liz), while being allowed to be kids, are also allowed to entertain some rather sophisticated notions about life. By far the most interesting character is Commander Traynor, whose actions precipatate most of the events; he is what you might call a quasi-villain in that, while he has his own agenda and seems prepared to sacrifice Simon and Liz to fulfill that agenda, he does demonstrate a concern for the two kids' well being. The least interesting character is Mr. Skinner, Liz's father; he's greatly concerned with Liz and Simon's use of the time portal, but in a rather prosaic way: he thinks it's time for them to put this childish concern with time travel aside and get down to the everyday business of life. Mrs. Skinner, a clairvoyant who seems to have a telepathic link with her daughter, is fascinating as long as she isn't doggedly accepting her husband's unimaginative view of life. There are also adult versions of Liz and Simon when the kids travel to the future; Beth, the adult Liz, is particularly intriguing. But it's definitely the writing that gives Timeslip its edge over virtually every other science fiction show ever created. The only downside I can think of is how unfortunate it is that you can only find this rare gem of a show by pure chance.
