And I don't get Rip leaving. He is a Timemaster, an authority on time and time travel. Why leave them without someone with that knowledge and experience?
IIRC, the actor has a gig on another show and they're making room for him to be gone at the start of the season.
Well, yeah. Just saying story wise its kind of an odd move. But I guess they have no choice.
I don't know, I agreed with him he was a terrible leader.
Yeah he sucked as a leader. But he was a Time Master. Leaving a time ship in the hands of people with like zero experience in time travel theory and understanding how time works doesn't seem like a good idea. Of course they still have Gideon.
And Mick spent goodness knows how long as Chronos so he should be up on basic time travel too. (Which they seem to have forgotten about this year in favor of making Mick dumb muscle.)
