Terminator Episode: Awesomee!! - Blu-ray Forum

Engage · 12-26-2014, 09:44 AM

Hey guys, I was just re-watching 'Self-Made Man' and wow, it's a really awesome bit of fiction! To be honest, it's one of my favourite television episodes ever!

I just wanted to know if anyone could recommend another TV show with a similar story? Something involving time travel?

Engage · 12-27-2014, 02:43 PM

Wow, nobody has seen this?

LordCrumb · 12-27-2014, 06:34 PM

Yes we've seen it. It's just that there isn't really anything to add to this 'discussion'..

Well, I'm just looking for a TV show with a similar storyline.

I've never personally given two craps about it, but Doctor Who involves time travel and seems to be insanely popular everywhere except my own home. And the good news is that there's a hilariously huge amount of content to choose from on DVD and Blu-ray.

A lot of Star Trek stuff involves time travel as well. Two of the best pieces of classic Trek, the episode City on the Edge of Forever and the movie Star Trek IV take place mostly in their past, which is our present.

I liked the first season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but I didn't care for the second season and dumped it before I ever saw that episode.

But in terms of just wanting another show to watch that's centered around time travel, there's always Quantum Leap. Which, IMO, was so good that it's ruined me and I often can't even get into other time travel-centric shows. The early episodes can be a bit rough, and the final episode raises more questions than it provides answers, but in between it's a really solid, enjoyable show.

Yes, Continuum is the way to go...very smart...very well written. There r three seasons available on disk or for stream. The fourth and final season will be shot in 2015.

Personally, I liked the way that Lost handled time travel, although only the fifth season really deals heavily with it.

Also, the season 4 episode, The Constant, is time-travel-centric, and is often hailed as one of the best episodes of the series.

I somehow completely forgot another killer episode of Deep Space Nine: ''The Visitor'' (shame on me).

What's Continuum about?

If you're willing to watch anime, Steins; Gate is exactly what you're looking for.
