So why not just get rid of Rittenhouse before he's born?
Of course we know why, because then the show would be over in one episode. But they have a time machine, they have technology. They can look up when and to who Rittenhouse was born to, and either do like Wyatt and make it so his parents never hooked up, or...just kill his parents. But waiting until the guy is older, when he's alredy corrupted the minds of people, will do no good. As it already showed, killing him when he's older does nothing. So why not go back further to before he was ever even born, and wipe out his bloodline or prevent him being born in the first place?
I'm watching this show again, after only watching the first 3 episodes when the show began (lost interest before but then all this crazy "save Timeless" stuff got me interested in the show again, after it was surprisingly renewed), and it's getting a bit annoying now. I mean going to all these different periods in time is cool, but it becomes a bit ridiculous when everyone knows how Rittenhouse started and by who....so why not just eliminate him from ever existing? Then everything would be undone. And Lucy's whole "save history" thing is a bit annoying when she knows how horrible Rittenhouse is, and how they've murdered dozens even hundreds of people. I mean, you have a chance to change history, make things better....why not do it? Lincoln for instance could have been saved, had Lucy opened her mouth earlier, told his son about the plot or done anything else. The number of lives that would be saved and changed by saving him.
I don't know, part of me finds this show interesting, but irritating at the same time.
