Synopsis

In 2006, an experiment of the Department of Energy in hot fusion to produce energy releases a storm in time along 240 minutes, changing history. Only the personnel in the core of the laboratory know the true story and now they need to fix points in the history that have been punctually changed. The bureaucrat and former Marine Doug Phillips is a family man that is recruited by his friend Flynn to join an expedition to 1944 due to his great knowledge of the Battle of Hürtgen Forest in Germany. The team formed by Doug, Flynn, Toni Newman, J.D. and Wix is assigned to find a monk from 1546 that has been accidentally transported to the spot and is the carrier of Black Plague.

Tyypo Fun, but not particularly good. Even so, I would have enjoyed a few more episodes to see if it would pan out at all. A big nit is this: They allegedly needed Doug Phillips for his expertise of a WWII battle. Problem is, he remembers it not as it was supposed to happen, so how much of an asset is he? He doesn't know how it's supposed to go. And given that, he should have been aware of the effect of the plague, since he is part of the altered timeline. Not quite sure why he still has a wife and two kids, but perhaps that would have been explained later.Best part was the laughs I got from the Hogan's Heroes references.
Kevin Haghighat I just got to see this pilot and must say I found it amazing. I grew up staying up late to watch the original. I think this was a great remake of the series and just like Glactica's remake it has it's own identity which can separate it from the original. For instance, this show would not be restricted to English speaking era's or even earth. I was eagerly looking for the next episode. Having been piloted in 2002, I was hoping the whole series would be on DVD. I was shocked to find out that it never took off. If it means anything to anyone, please take another look at this. It has a great cast as it was first piloted but I'm sure there are other actors who can do a pretty good job for most of the characters. Please bring this back. It was a great pilot and I'm eagerly waiting to see the next episode.Cheers.
bd048 I would not call this an update. It was new. The names of the two lead characters should not have been recycled and they could have called it Time Tube or something. Superior to the original, for most episodes maybe but it lacked the thrill of that first Time Tunnel show on the Titanic. Better than Star Gate, sure. The new Toni Newman - wow, but I think calling it an update is what killed it for fans of the old show.The characters were pretty good. Even the relationships seemed to click pretty good.All in all a fun ride but I'm not sure I will watch it twice.Watch it if you can find it. It is for sale here and there on the Internet but the only copy available is from a VHS master.
davidm-14 excellent, for a pilot. the characters are as fleshed out as they can be in 50 or so minutes, while still having time to explain the concept for the tunnel itself, which looks great. i found myself looking for lee meriwether or james darren in the background someplace. this is a superior reworking of the original 60's "time tunnel", except the characters return after completing each mission. the concept, a fix-the-errors-in-time-that-not-everyone-remembers scenario is somewhat more interesting than the original guys-bouncing-around-aimlessly plots that were used originally. i guess i can see why this probably wasn't picked up as a series. it would have been too closely compared to "stargate", which was a ripoff of sorts of the original. i still wish someone would start a network that shows nothing but unaired pilots. some of them are fascinating.
