It seems time-travel action thriller Source Code may be coming to the small-screen...

I liked the film a lot, but can't see where else they can go beyond the initial premise - I mean, didn't that TV show "Seven Days" (?) do the same sort of thing?

But, while I'm initially dubious, I do have to remind myself that I was also dubious about STARGATE SG-1. That & ATLANTIS went on to become two of my favourite series.

If it's handled properly it could be good. I just hope that they explore time-travel properly, rather than just having an ''everything's fixed, yay team! bring on the next challenge'' approach...

Well to me, the film suggested the possibility of creating alternate, 'better' realities as opposed to actual time-travel, and that's an interesting, original idea. If they go with that they may be onto something.

That would be cool (as they could have different people playing the same roles and stuff) but that might get a bit complicated for TV audiences...

On the plus-side, at least it's not ''America's Next Blankiest Blank...''

Source Code sounds a lot like Person of Interest. Created by Jonathan Nolan

'Original' doesn't automatically mean 'good' in the same way that "based on..." doesn't presuppose 'bad'.
