Despite the show conk out an unnaturally other death ( helped along by the WGA rap ) , we here at io9 still have a deep and abiding sexual love for NBC ’s Journeyman . Was it the San Francisco set that made us bed it so ? Star Kevin McKidd ’s mixture of woolgathering eyes and jaw that could kill a man ? The time - travel shop mechanic that updated Quantum Leap ’s military mission for a virtuously - conflicted twenty-first one C ? We may never fuck . But , thanks to an consultation with show creator Kevin Falls , we do now make out what would have happened had the show continued . Aint It Cool interviewed Falls last December about the focusing the show was going to take , post - WGA strike , but did n’t publish the objet d’art for veneration of impair any potential return key for the series . Now that we all know that there is n’t going to be any more Journeyman in our futurity , they felt devoid to launch the audience and reveal who was behind everything , and how Heroes ruined everything . Here’re some of the best bits : Falls on who was behind Dan ’s time traveling :
Let ’s just say it was too specific and marvelous to be scientific discipline or government … We would have led you to the water ’s border and rent you calculate it out .
On whether Dan ’s metre travels were for the greater goodness :
I think the closing game was for the good . We wanted to explore some darker themes early on , but our valuation order otherwise . I wanted Dan to have to shepherd a score humans through his life to bolt down someone . It would really fuck Dan up , but there ’d be a full-grown reason for it . Sort of like life-time ( not the boob tube show ) we would have done it [ late in the first season ] .
On Why Livia Faked Her Own Death :
We kept going ’ pear-shaped and ’ round about that . We felt that Livia was keeping some arcanum from Dan that was huge and tragical .
On what was originally conk out to end the first season :
Well , it was going to be a plague , but then “ Heroes ” did that . When we were told “ Heroes ” was doing it , they intimate we switch ours . No way we were pass to gain that one . We would have fall up with something , but remember , I could read the tea leave in mid - October . I decided then , let ’s suppose in terms of 13 [ episodes ] … [ In the never - shoot final nine episodes of the time of year , ] Katie and Dan were going to split up for a while . [ Dan ’s brother ] Jack and Dan were going to be together and then Dan and Katie would get back together . Livia was going to die in instalment 20 . Dan was going to bring through her in 21 . And in 22 , Dan would come in back to his house in the present like he did in the cowcatcher and someone else would be living there . Katie and Zack would be operate and this clip Dan would have no idea how to get his kinsperson back .
