Timeless clips
Oct. 23rd, 2018 10:21 pmSo the recent Doctor Who episode started making me feel nostalgic for Timeless, and I went looking for clips.
Here's a whole montage of people introducing themselves in the past with modern pop culture references: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efvMmCTAgUU
And here's a clip where Rufus (the black pilot of the time ship) deals with some racism, which happened on the show *all the time*: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZeCgOfmf10
And sure, Doctor Who had Rosa Parks, but Timeless had Katherine Johnson, and Bass Reeves -- go Google him if you've never heard of him, or better yet, watch this short clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYxrU-WaKGQ -- and Josephine Baker, and Wendell Scott (Google him, too), and HARRIET TUBMAN. So, yeah.
In fact, the show was great at showcasing historical people of color and making you go Google them afterwards. They also knew how to do an infodump in a way that was actually interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_95cqpBH_4
