Trivia
The device that Dr. Givens uses to open the time travel portal is actually a sound pressure level decibel meter.

Goofs
When Dr. Givens is entering data to return to February 16, 1980, the display reads "ACTIVATE SPACIAL COORDINATES", but it should be "SPATIAL".

Quotes
Jamie Pratt: [Time portal opening] Even if this were possible, why would anyone do such a thing?
Dr. Theresa Givens: An opportunity to kill the killers before they can kill. What the hell could be Wrong with that?
Jamie Pratt: But - but you are talking about killing innocent men. They haven't done anything.
Dr. Theresa Givens: They would've!

Solid storyline, excellent performances

Amanda Plummer fully deserves her Emmy Award for her portrayal of Dr. Theresa Givens. Michelle Forbes as FBI agent Jamie Pratt also gives a great performance. The writing and storyline is excellent. But an excellent story still requires strong performances to bring it all together. And for this show it certainly was there. Gripping from start to finish. No plastic looking aliens who can speak English here. Just a captivating story with an outstanding performance by Amanda Plummer. This story will keep you thinking even after the credits roll. I can't help but feel that some of the more recent movies (eg. Butterfly Effect seemed to have borrowed heavily from here.) Even if you are not into sci-fi, watch it for the strong storyline and amazing performances! You will not regret it.
