This episode had me in tears. I don't recall ever giving a 10 to a Travelers episode before, but this one won it with all my heart. Amazing writing and great acting delivered us an unexpected heartbreaking Marcy's back story.
It's about time they fixed Marcy. And David has to be the greatest person ever...too bad he's pure fiction...
As a whole this show is rather mediocre, especially the first season is rather dry most of the time.
Still enjoyable, but there are a few particular reasons why I watch this in the first place:
Several (minor) Stargate Alumni have guest appearances. Well, it's shot in Canada, what's to expect?
Amanda Tapping even directs some episodes and Brad Wright writes some of them. The quality improved in S2 as well since they got more involved in this.
The lead-in in the first episode, MacKenzie Porter, was a clever choice, she's acting the brain damaged girl very well (not sure if accurate, though), a character that is very complex as it turns out and is gorgeous.
The character David, played by the very likable Patrick Gilmore, the most selfless and caring dude you can imagine.
The chemistry between Gilmore and Porter acting together in scenes.
Getting a backstory centric episode for Marcy was something I longed for ever since I watched the first episode.
And here it was, with almost all those reasons mixed in one episode.
We now know that Marcy basically fell for David the moment she walked scared, alone and confused into him (David complimenting her name and her smiling was so freakishly cute). We got to know that there's soo much more to her character and why she was who she was at the beginning of the show. That she wasn't born with that condition but made. Whereas that was entirely unexpected.
All while David was by her side helping her. Makes those characters even cooler.
Best episode in this series and one of my most favourite of all shows this year.
Even after all those years, Brad Wright knows how to deliver a damn great episode.
Poor Marcy. Making me cry.
How can someone hate David? Probably because he's too good for this world :sweat_smile:
Showing her the apt, and opens the fridge, exclaiming "Oh, someone left a big chunk of chocolate", then he sniffs it and says, "No, that's Hash." PRICELESS> Laughed my ass off!!
Marcy’s storyline was always interesting, she is a great character, and always making the dynamics up of the episodes. Now we’ve learnt why.. It was beacuse of the past before the past we know of her.
How Marcy can stay such a long time without a single heartbeat? =0 Good episode, though.

Man I love Marcy. It will be great to get our old Maecy back and seeing all her memories was mind blowing. I can't wait to see what happens next with that. Also, David is friggin perfect. Love his kind heart and his love for Marcy.
