I told you Director Vance was going to start coming to light. His curiosity has been piqued by Ben Stone and the more he spies on Ben and his movements, the more he’s lured into the belief that there’s “off the books” at work in his midst. And he’s not down with that. I’m delighted. […]
After a week off, we got back in the missing passengers saddle with “Manifest” episode 106, “Off Radar.” And while there was plenty of meat on the mystery bone in this one — Cal in the hospital, the Bulgarian search, relationship damage, black ops sites and a naughty giant corporation — perhaps the thing that […]
First and foremost let me say that I love backstory – love it. And in a wonderful mode of storytelling, the writers of Ep. 105 of ‘Manifest’ gave me a lot to like. Titled ‘Connecting Flights,’ which is a bit of a play on words for the episodes new mantra, “It’s all connected,” this episode […]
It would appear that time travel, or time loss, is appealing to television fans as NBC’s freshman effort, “Manifest,” has just gotten an order for three more episodes, bringing its total inaugural effort to 16 episodes.

From the brain splatter […]

It’s an interesting premise – a plane takes off, and arrives without delay, at least in its passengers’ perception – but it lands more than 5 years after it left. No explanation, no sensation – some bad turbulence, but what frequent flyer hasn’t experienced turbulence? Just a mystery […]
Everyone has experienced the feeling of seemingly losing an hour or even a day. But NBC is taking the concept of lost time to a new level with its new show, “Manifest,” which will premiere Monday, Sept. 24. “Manifest” will look at the life adjustments passengers on Montego Air Flight 828 are forced to make […]
Fans of NBC’s exciting time travel show Timeless have been campaigning for the show to be saved. Sadly that has not happened, but NBC has ordered a two part finale. This is a big relief. It is so frustrating when a show is cancelled with loose ends hanging out all over the place. The season […]
