\"Continuum<\/a><\/p>\n

Welcome back Continuum<\/a> time travelers!\"Syfy<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Before I say anything else in this review, I want to give a shout out to the brilliant writers of the \u2018Continuum<\/a>\u2019 series, (Simon Barry<\/a>, Sara B. Cooper<\/a>, and Jonathan Lloyd Walker<\/a>), to name a few of the extraordinary team of talent that is Continuum! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Continuum<\/a>In my experience, I find that relatively few people outside of the entertainment industry completely grasp the concept of what television writers do or the massive pressure under which they do it. Their words are what create the basic characters and very believability of the world being presented to the audience. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am not trying to say characters do not come alive because of the actors that portray them, or story lines do not flow because of the order in which the director chooses to present them. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Making a series such as Continuum<\/a> is a team effort. But even a brilliant actor and a talented director can falter if the script is poorly written. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When you are dealing with a series that combines the concepts of both time travel and<\/em> alternate universes and<\/em> still manages to get across an understandable story in forty-five minutes or less (adjusting for commercials), then the writers deserve every bit of the kudos they can get when they get it right. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So far Simon, Sara, and Jonathan: you have got the recipe down<\/em>!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
