Tonight one of our favorite series resumes the second half of\u00a0 season two on absolutely fantastic news, and we here at Team WHR<\/a> couldn\u2019t be happier! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

NBC announced today<\/a> this superb science fiction series will continue in a third season! Thank you NBC!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c1988\u201d is the seventh exciting episode of La Brea<\/a> written by David Appelbaum<\/a> and Erica Meredith<\/a> and was directed by Dan Liu<\/a>. During \u201c1988\u201d we learned that our heroes decided to go back to the future returning via the use of the Time Travel facility located in 10,000 BC. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As we learned in the previous episode named Lazarus<\/a>, the Time Travel Facility was constructed by visitors from the future of Earth in 2076 who have traveled back in time in an attempt to perform a mission to save the Earth of their timeline that is on the verge of destruction in their own time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This type of theme has been a popular with movie goers and television audiences ever since the famous H.G. Wells<\/a> novel \u201cThe Time Machine\u201d was made into a movie 1960 by George Pal<\/a>. The Time Machine movie is about H.G. (George) Wells as the protagonist who returned to the beginning of the nineteenth century after a harrowing journey to the distant future and back again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

George (H.G.) Wells ultimately decided to return to the future subsequent to retrieving three books he believe were needed to rebuild a future humanity devastated by the evil cannibalistic Morlocks who had reduced future humankind to breeding stock cattle to feed upon in the year 802,701.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The La Brea<\/a> story is also similar to an ambitious 2011 science fiction series named Terra Nova<\/a> executive produced by entertainment industry legends Steven Spielberg<\/a>, Brannon Braga<\/a>, Jon Cassar<\/a>, Justin Falvey<\/a>, and Darryl Frank<\/a>. <\/span><\/span>Terra Nova<\/a> chronicles when visitors from the year 2149 escape present day Earth subsequent to learning that our planet is dying from pollution causing societal decay across the world. In this case the time travelers are transported back eighty-five million years to establish a human colony to build a fresh civilization from scratch. In the Terra Nova series, there is another group with nefarious intentions that is working to maintain political power in 2149 by obtaining biological samples from the prehistoric past to save their polluted world and thereby ensure their dominance both in the past and the future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately despite being a very well financed series, supported by the large group of famous producers named above and more, Terra Nova<\/a> was cancelled after a thirteen episode first season. This is a fate that has befallen many time travel series over the decades starting with The Time Tunnel<\/a> (1966) that also only lasted a single season, albeit with 30 episodes back in the day when seasons lasted a half year on broadcast television.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As we begin our analysis review of the first half of the La Brea<\/a> second season with \u201c1988\u201d, we express our sincere kudos to NBC Entertainment for extending season two to fourteen episode story arc with approximately four million viewer\u2019s average each week since the La Brea<\/a> science fiction adventure series began in 2021.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We sincerely hoped this meant that La Brea would be renewed for a third season, and our dreams have come true. We here at WormholeRiders were absolutely ecstatic when NBC Entertainment TPTB decided a third season<\/a> is in store to continue this fabulous Time Travel adventure with a third season with their announcement today. Thanks NBC!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
