Continuum	comment	Continuum is a Canadian science fiction series that ran for four seasons from 2012 to 2015. It was created by Simon Barry, who also acts as one of the show's executive producers. It aired on Showcase Television in Canada and Syfy in the UK and the USA.Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) is an ordinary police officer — ordinary, that is, for the corporate-run, vaguely dystopian future of 2077 in the Vancouver District of the North American Union or NAU. She's assigned the routine job of guarding captured terrorists belonging to Liber8 during their very public execution. However, the group has an escape plan that involves Time Travel and Kiera is pulled along with them back to 2012.Underground, motivated and very dangerous, the surviving Liber8 terrorists are determined to wage their war against the forces they believe will destroy the future in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia and it's up to Kiera to stop them. Luckily, she's not alone: she's quickly pulled into the orbit of Detective Carlos Fonnegra (Victor Webster) and the Vancouver Police Department, who think she's an expert on this "new street gang up from Portland," and Alec Sadler (Eric Knudsen), a young tech prodigy who will shape the future Kiera and the terrorists come from.Now has a Character Sheet and recap page.Has nothing to do with Stargate: Continuum besides also being centered on time travel. Not to be confused with the webcomic or the RPG of the same name.

It acts as a Bulletproof Vest capable of stopping rounds from an assault rifle. It has an Invisibility Cloak, a built-in computer to augment her own bio-implants, can change color, and its sleeves can be used as a stun gun. A second suit also shows the ability to stop bullets aimed at the head, though this seems to be a military-restricted function. Notably, a cosplaying civilian who wears the second suit uses it to stop a robbery.

Dillon makes a deal with Escher to better equip the police force to deal with Liber8. As a part of that deal, the police force is gradually being converted into CPS. Alec and Kiera both have to make decisions they aren't completely comfortable with between the end of the second season and the beginning of the third. Alec robs Kiera of a chance to get home to save Emily, and as a consequence Kiera has to ally with the Freelancers to keep him from totally wiping out her future. She even describes it as such. Twice for Emily. First, she signs on with Escher to watch Alec, apparently to escape her Dark and Troubled Past. In the season 3 timeline, Kellog recruits her to assassinate Escher, then hits her with the revelation that he was Alec's father to keep her under his control.

Though a corporate-run, privatized police state, the 2070s NAU in the series (or at least the province of it that we see) actually has some degree of freedom, from what we see of the era, which keeps it from being a total Crapsack World. Academics, including those with anti-corporate and anti-government views, are allowed to freely express their thoughts. Many individuals in both the present and future would obviously be happy that gay marriage is perfectly legal and respected in the NAU Vancouver of the 2070s, just as it is in Real Life present-day British Columbia.

Then it's revealed that Liber8 actually is responsible, having anticipated that deduction and framed the gang, all to hide the real reason: moving their own favored candidate into position for election. In "So Do Our Minutes Hasten", Liber8 is framed for an attack on a corporation's board of directors. It turns out their rival, Sonmanto, arranged the hit and framed Liber8 for it so they could drive down the stock price then buy them out.

Meanwhile, Dillon going over Escher's guidebook to create CPS, and Carlos and Betty join Julian's group. Season 3 has Kellog usurp control of Piron from Alec. This evidently leads to a Bad Future, as Brad Tonkin's temporal beacon summons a bunch of goons in Powered Armor.

Needless to say, he got pissed! Kiera worries about having done this, after she nearly shoots Julian in cold blood, after discovering he will become the infamous Theseus. It's heavily implied that this was one of the events that set this in motion. An oddly literal example with Travis. Part of the Super-Soldier program involved implanting him with a control chip that lowered his empathy and compassion, whilst ramping up his aggression, making him the unstable psychopath that he is today.

Continuum / int_3b79029a	comment	Crapsaccharine World: The North American Union in 2077. On the one hand, the corporations of the day are said to have "bailed out" failed governments in the 2050s, and gained a stranglehold on power as a result. For example, food rations are withheld arbitrarily simply to drive the price up for people who need that food. And God help you if you go into debt after about 2030, as corporations are legally empowered to throw you in a slave labor camp! On the other hand, people high up in the corporations or directly under their employ (Kiera and her husband, for example) lead relatively good lives. Though a corporate-run, privatized police state, the 2070s NAU in the series (or at least the province of it that we see) actually has some degree of freedom, from what we see of the era, which keeps it from being a total Crapsack World. Academics, including those with anti-corporate and anti-government views, are allowed to freely express their thoughts. Many individuals in both the present and future would obviously be happy that gay marriage is perfectly legal and respected in the NAU Vancouver of the 2070s, just as it is in Real Life present-day British Columbia.

Since Travis had paid him a visit earlier, but was then asked to leave, Julian technically knew where he had been, but was in no position to give up his current whereabouts, creating a false positive. Later, in "3 Minutes to Midnight", Alec is able to reprogram her CMR so he reads as telling the truth, even though he was lying.

Kiera and her 2012-era partner thwart the terrorists there, but when Kiera returns to the police station, she finds that the gang used the whole operation as cover to raid the precinct and retrieve their imprisoned comrade. In "Time's Up", Liber8 kidnaps the CEO of a 2012-era corporation. As Kiera is trying to rescue the victim, she tries to determine what their real goal is: are they in it for the ransom money, or are they trying to make a political statement and earn street cred with the local anarchist groups? In the end, it turns out that the plan was to expose the fraud the CEO was involved in, ruin the corporation, and in the process make a fortune short-selling the corporation on the stock market to fund their next operation.

Continuum / int_56698261	comment	Our Time Travel Is Different: The show goes out of it's way to adhere to certain rules of time travel, but only explains them over the course of the first three seasons, and very slowly. In order, it works as such: Time Travel only works in one direction (backwards), and anyone who time travels will be forced to take The Slow Path back to their period, assuming they live long enough. Time travelers are cut off from the causal effects of their journey directly, even if on their own timeline, and have Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory. This means that even if a past version of them, or ancestor, is killed by the changes to the timeline, they remain alive and unaffected. The moment a time traveler makes the journey, the time period they originate from begins to erase, meaning anyone they left behind is effectively killed by their journey. Much of Kiera's angst during the series is caused by her coming to terms with this, especially because it means her son Sam is effectively dead. Season 4 goes completely Off the Rails after a future version of Kellog manages to break the first and third rule, causing both a Stable Time Loop and Set Right What Once Went Wrong situations to each successfully occur SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Instead, Liber8 are ruthless revolutionaries, including former military specialists and super-soldiers, who have no qualms about killing cops and leaving a high body count. The police are completely unprepared for this and are easily outmaneuvered. In "Family Time", when the ERT units are utterly convinced that Roland Randol (Alec's step-father) is the one masterminding the hostage situation on his own farm — thanks to his history of hardline activism. They assume that Julian and Hoyt's voices are Roland, and the two boys never correct them. This ultimately leads to the police shooting the innocent Roland.

In spite of this, it's surprising how often she blows him off when he's trying to reach her with critical, time-sensitive info. This is actually lampshaded in season two, when Kellog points out exactly this. Kiera still gives him the cold shoulder.

Continuum / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The NAU's brutal crackdowns lead to Kagame's transition from a peaceful demonstrator to a militant terrorist. After learning that Travis has a military CMR, the precursor to her law enforcement model, Kiera convinces Alec to use that to track him. This ends up activating his CMR, so now Travis is a Super-Soldier with analytical abilities similar to Kiera's, not to mention whatever military enhancements his CMR version has. After showing mercy and not killing Julian, Kiera wonders if her treatment of him might actually have been what fully radicalized him in her future. Liber8's activities in the past have led to the police department teaming up with Piron and throwing out the book, seemingly laying the foundations for the future privately-owned police state. Kiera accuses Curtis Chen of this because of his failure to give up his own life to prevent Liber8 from time traveling in the first place. Alec's decision to go back in time to save Emily causes the destruction of an entire timeline (just not the one he's in), and the Kiera from his old timeline is the only one to survive. Now she is (implicitly) working against him to make sure the timeline stays on course, which may or may not pose problems for Emily later. And Liber8 gets another with the arrival of Brad Tonkin. While they may have averted their future, his is even more terrible in the opposite direction. No control instead of too much has left humanity on the brink. Chen appears to know much more about the effects of all the time-travel than anyone and what is really going on, but his unwillingness to actually tell anyone has caused many problems, namely because he's The Mole for the Freelancers. His statement that Kellog will get what's coming to him and that both he and The Traveler expected to see the lights going out and even more future-travelers showing up may mean that some things have to happen before they can take action, potentially averting this in the long-run. Kiera letting the idea of going "back to 2077" distract her from stopping Kellog is at least partially responsible for the chain of events leading up to the destruction of the VPD, since her distraction ensnared Alec and Carlos in a web of half-truths and misdirections that kept both from ably assisting her had they been focussed on stopping Kellog.

But while her stakes are admittedly high, the very fact that her future is an extremely crappy place for A LOT more people makes it hard to root for her. Even moreso since she already witnessed first-hand the measures the system is willing to take (like engineering food shortages to raise the company's profits, mind-controlling her to make her kill informants that aren't of any further use, trying to coerce her into letting perish children in a fire in favor of executives who enjoy a higher saving priority etc.) - and that's just the stuff she saw herself. Given that she should see that her future is going to be a lot worse than the present and that she is about to bring that future, one wonders whether she's just really desperate, has only temporary memory bouts, or actually considers the system of the future in spite of all its shortcomings an ultimately beneficial system.

The season 2 finale in spades. All the time travelers have been captured by the Freelancers, Carlos and Betty have joined Julian, Alec has gone back in time to save Emily, and Dillon is hard at work creating CPS. "3 Minutes to Midnight" is, both in-universe and out, simply mind-boggling. Kiera's future friend comes from a future where Liber8 won, and they are practically ecstatic at their victory. Then he clues them in on the reality of it. What the corporations didn't get through manipulation, they instead tried to take by force. The end result? 2039 Vancouver is a complete hellhole and Kellog is a revolutionary trying to fix things by sending him and Chen back. Combined with Kiera outing Garza as working for Alec (after a fashion) and the alt!Chen a Freelancer, Liber8 falls apart at the sheer pointlessness of it all. "Last Minute": On the cusp of believing that they've finally changed the world for the better, Kiera and Brad realize that something has gone horribly wrong, while simultaneously Kellog reveals that he's been subtly manipulating Alec and Jacqueline to gain control of Piron, reopening the possibility of a 2039-like timeline.

If she has the accomplice arrested for the murder, she would be changing the timeline and averting all the good that the person is about to do. Ultimately, Kiera decides to let the accomplice go. Alec calls Kiera on this in "Split Second", pointing out that her desire to maintain the future is going to force her to choose between letting certain critical moments to the future happen or helping the people in the present. He also points out that her attempt to avert the bombing in the season 1 finale could have ruined the future she's trying to protect. Kiera starts to have real problems with this in season 3, when the Corrupt Corporate Executive angle is really played up while Liber8 segues away from violent terrorism to more Robin Hood-esque social activism. Kiera ultimately decides that her future is no longer worth fighting for, joining up with Liber8 to stop Past!Alec from setting it in motion.

Come Season 2, the police start adopting more of these measures, only to turn them against Kiera, believing her to be the Liber8 mole in their department. Liber8 wants nothing more than for the public to wake up and see the corporations for what they really are. Come "3 Minutes to Midnight", they get to learn the result. Instead of the Crapsaccharine World of 2077, you get the pure Crapsack World of 2039, where civilization has collapsed from all-out war between the corporations and the people, and humanity is going down the drain. Kiera wants nothing more than to go home. However, when she is finally able to, she learns that there is another version of her raising Sam in a much better future.

It seems that this began as early as 2035, where "criminals" were implanted with mind-control chips and set to work in factories. And they also love going after "subversive" material, confiscating anything that might contradict the official story of the pre-2050 world. The Anti-Liber8 Taskforce become increasingly this over the course of Season 2, taking drastic measures to hunt down those suspected of being criminals to the point where "guilty until proven innocent" seems to be their new mantra. The Season 2 finale has Dillon reviewing Escher's plans to turn them into the CPS. In Season 3, active censorship on university campuses and security and police crackdowns over even relatively minor events (pro-Liber8 dances and peaceful protests) are apparently regarded as normal. Granted, a building did get bombed by Kagame, but even so, this kind of heavy-handed response is more characteristic of an emerging police state rather than a reasoned law-enforcement response to seeking out the principal backers of Liber8. Kiera's behavior toward Rebecca, one of Julian's lieutenants, does not help.

Continuum / int_c2676b00	comment	Jurisdiction Friction: Kiera obviously has no recognizable jurisdiction in 2012, so she pretends to be a detective from Oregon. The police inspector in the Vancouver Police Department is naturally livid that a US cop is trying to butt in on his investigation. However, once cops start dying he does not hesitate to ask for her help. By the end of the pilot he is demanding that she stay and help them catch the killers. Thanks to Alec's hacking skills, Kiera stays with the VPD to catch Liber8 disguised as a member of a top secret government group. Kiera invokes this when the VPD inspector suggests that the US Department of Defense could help them track down the ex-military members of Liber8. Kiera replies that since they did not start their criminal activities until after leaving the military, they are a purely civilian matter. Of course, her real reason for invoking jurisdiction is that the military would have no record of these people ever serving in the armed forces (or existing at all).

To keep the family safe, they can't reveal the fact until they've performed a rescue, by which time the trial is nearly over.

Thus far, it's clear time is mutable to some extent yet there are also numerous stable time loops in play. The course of events depends on the importance of the incident or the person that is affected by Time Travel. Thousands can die without having an effect on the timeline, as long as the truly important people turn out as they originally did.

She points out that he is holding a live grenade in a restaurant full of innocent people and is threatening to use it if she tries to arrest him. To his credit, he only uses this tactic to establish a working relationship with her, after which point they get along well enough. Julian gets this retroactively in "Seconds". Despite acting like he's trying to reform, then calling Alec out for selling him out when Alec is innocent of that, he swipes Alec's phone, and several episodes later he gives it to Lucas so he can use it to further Julian's agenda. Kiera points out that if the Freelancers were honest about their talk of sacrifice then Curtis Chen should've let Liber8's execution proceed as scheduled. Kiera herself gets this in the third season, constantly reminding Alec of his betrayal of her by going back to save Emily, even though Emily's death is solely Kiera's fault because she placed more importance on getting back home than she did on protecting others. She ends up handing him over to the Freelancers and siding with his current-timeline self, reasoning that the latter has a better chance of ensuring her future.

When it actually happens, he gets less than twenty seconds in before Lucas sabotages the big screen behind him, broadcasting Travis. After about another fifteen seconds, the backstage team restore the screen to normal, Alec offers a sardonic remark, and it looks like everything will get back on track, but then Garza fires two warning shots from above and everything goes to hell.

Someone beats her to the punch with her counterpart, while Alec from one week later seems to intent to stay out of the way now that Emily has avoided her past fate.

Continuum / int_e70127	comment	Chen appears to know much more about the effects of all the time-travel than anyone and what is really going on, but his unwillingness to actually tell anyone has caused many problems, namely because he's The Mole for the Freelancers. His statement that Kellog will get what's coming to him and that both he and The Traveler expected to see the lights going out and even more future-travelers showing up may mean that some things have to happen before they can take action, potentially averting this in the long-run.

Continuum / int_f178203a	comment	In Season 3, active censorship on university campuses and security and police crackdowns over even relatively minor events (pro-Liber8 dances and peaceful protests) are apparently regarded as normal. Granted, a building did get bombed by Kagame, but even so, this kind of heavy-handed response is more characteristic of an emerging police state rather than a reasoned law-enforcement response to seeking out the principal backers of Liber8. Kiera's behavior toward Rebecca, one of Julian's lieutenants, does not help.

And remember... the hero of this story, Kiera Cameron, is trying to stop these rampaging democracy-advocating, liberal-minded monsters out of a combination of loyalty to the job and a fear that their meddling may negatively affect her personally. Kellog practically says this to Kiera word for word in "Time's Up".

Continuum / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Liber8 is fighting to take down pro-corporate governments and restore true democracy. However, they are willing to kill 30,000 people in order to assassinate the twenty corporate leaders in charge of the system. In 2012, they have no problem murdering police officers simply to obtain weapons and create a distraction. A scientist is murdered because he was about to sell his research to the Canadian military. His killers want the technology to be used to help people rather than to build weapons. Kiera, realizing what their work means for the future, reluctantly lets them slide. In 2077, Alec Sadler masterminds the plot to send Liber8 back into the past, as part of a gambit to avert the current future. Dillon, after speaking to Escher, begins taking much more extreme measures, leading to a Start of Darkness not only for himself but for the entire Vancouver Police Department, then leading to the genesis of CPS. In 2077, Julian Randol is guilty of the murder of tens of thousands of people... who had been converted by the NAU into mindless slaves and were apparently incapable of being freed without dying. Though not much has been revealed about The Freelancers, it seems they are dedicated to the fairly reasonable goal of preserving the correct timeline and preventing temporal tampering… regardless of who they have to kill or imprison in order to do so.
