I’m going to think about the fantasy world of ‘Game of Thrones’ because I can’t deal with our real world right now.
‘Timeless’: Victory or Death

Fellow citizens & compatriots –
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna—I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man—I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch—The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country—Victory or Death.
Lt. Col. William Barret Travis

Is a date that holds no meaning for Lucy. Which is unfortunate, because that’s when Luka is. After several hours of sciencing, Jiya finds him. It turns out the “negative mass energy” that’s so inconvenient to loose papers has a signature that can be tracked. She puts the Heart of Gold somewhere in the desert within a 50-mile radius of Las Vegas.
Lucy provides the why for the where. She says President Kennedy was in Las Vegas on that date for a DNC fundraiser at the Sands Hotel. Sinatra was the headliner and the room was full of politicians, celebrities, and waste management consultants. Any or all of them could be a target.
The Time Trio suit up and board the Omni. And I kind of love how analog the controls are, with the pushing of buttons and flipping of switches to initiate the launch sequence. It makes the craft feel solid and real in a way that a bank of sleek flat touch screens wouldn’t. The pod’s interior also reminds me of the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit, which I’m sure is no accident.
‘Timeless’: Oh, the humanity!

A blonde woman standing underneath the passenger airship Hindenburg turns and runs as it falls from the sky. She’s quickly overtaken by the flames. It’s kind of show creator Eric Kripke’s thing.
I don’t want to talk about this whole Donald Trump mess, I know you don’t want to talk about this whole Donald Trump mess, but we kind of have to talk about this whole Donald Trump mess.
Government documents might have just proved ‘Stranger Things’ was right about what the Department of Energy is up to, guys.
In which we get all political and yell at talk show hosts for going out of their way to make Donald Trump look good.
