The first of the final two Journeyman episodes airs tonight
Just wanted to pass on a reminder that we all already know about and probably don’t even need since A) we’ve been dreading these final two days for weeks now and B) our DVRs will automatically record them anyways.
Journeyman airs episodes #12 tonight (Monday) and #13 on Wednesday. They promise to be flat-out awesome, give us answers to many questions and be a ton of fun. We’ll probably end up missing the show even more after these final two viewings.
As I wrote last week, I picked Journeyman as my favorite network show of the fall, and I think I really fell in love with it during the episodes with Aeden Bennett. It reached new heights that week and solidified it to me as a quality show.
Now it’s almost done and it sucks big time. So enjoy tonight’s episode, we’ll talk about it tomorrow of course, and then we’ll get prepped for Wednesday.
I leave you with a heartfelt blog from show creator Kevin Falls, who thanked all the fans last week for their support. Thank you Kevin, for a great little show.

To the Fans,
Well, this is the message I didn’t want to post. I’m sure as most of you know by now, Journeyman will likely not be getting a back nine order. Rather than dwell on the reasons behind this decision, my fellow Executive Producer, the great Alex Graves and myself would rather remind people that our last two episodes will air next Monday night, December 17 th at 10 PM and Wednesday December 19th at 10 PM. These two episodes will provide some answers, plenty of speculation, a few surprises and hopefully some satisfying closure. They are, I promise you, very entertaining.
I want to thank the tireless and talented Kevin McKidd and the entire cast (in my opinion, the best on television and guess what, the kindest and most professional). Yes, it was hard breaking stories on this show, but it would have been harder without the collective genius of the writing staff. Every guest director that passed through said our crew was the best they ever worked with, basically telling me something I already knew. Some producers loathe their relationships with studio and networks, maybe that’s because they never worked for the executives at 20th Century Fox and NBC. My sincerest thanks.
And finally, to the fans. Thank you for appreciating a different kind of show that sought to not only entertain, but to provoke and inspire. I’d like to think it says a lot about you. When the numbers slipped and we sometimes seconded guessed ourselves, you gave us validation and so we stayed the course.
Oh, and your fight to save Journeyman has humbled and moved us. I’m certainly not going to tell you to stop now. Again, our sincere gratitude and a deep bow from the waist.
It’s been fun. I wish you all the Happiest of Holidays.
Kevin Falls

It's also related to NBC I think right? I mean, BSG is on Sci-Fi, then also plays on UHD, so that makes sense.

I guess maybe she would be just too old at that time, or else...I dunno.
I somehow think she doesn't make it that long, as all the travelers are dying off the Tacheon Man said.

I have already written to NBC, in hopes of keeping the series alive, but if that can't happen, I think everyone involved can walk out of "Journeyman" with heads held high. As an appreciative member of the audience, I would like to thank the excellent cast, headed by Kevin McKidd, for breathing life into characters, about whom it was easy to care. I would like to thank the producers, directors, and writers for giving us credit and not talking down to us, and especially for not letting the fantastic premise of the series degenerate into absurdity. I'd also like to acknowledge and appreciate the additional respect shown to us in the audience, by everyone in the cast and crew, as demonstrated by their creation of thirteen hours of television that told a coherent story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end (if the mobius strips of time-loops can ever be said to have such things). Leaving the audience hanging would have been the easiest thing to do. It took real craftsmanship and discipline to create a run of stories that together were a "novel for television," while still leaving open the possibility for more episodes in the future. The people responsible for Journeyman took the high road, and I hope it helps them to know that some of us out here realize that and are grateful for their commitment.

Hope you all will come over to Hey!Nielsen. Look forward to seeing you!
Keep the blogging going for Journeyman, because believe it or not that really does make an impression on the networks.
Thanks!
