What I'm Watching: Traveler (Season Finale)

Traveler: Season 1, Episode 8 "The Exchange" (F)

The episode was looking up for a bit, what with Marlow discovering that Chambers is a bad guy. But then again, how could he be so dumb as to call from his personal cell phone knowing it could be traced? And why would Chambers not just look at who was calling him on his phone? It is those kind of gaping plotholes that ruin this show. And the bad acting on the part of pretty much everyone, especially Aaron Stanford (Will). Except for Neal McDonough, who cannot save the show by himself in a poorly written Really Evil role. And that was just the dumbest thing they could have done at the end of the episode. Put their only evidence in a limo with the bad guy inside and call some random reporter to come get it? Seriously, have some sense and at least keep the bad guy somewhere else. Will was a secret agent, after all. And this is worse than mid-season 2 "Prison Break" stuff - now they will never be able to stop running. They just blew up a Homeland Security Director. Way to go guys! You are really dumb.

Renewal for this show? I think not. We will see.
