When NBC announced that one of there new shows this fall would be Journeyman we learned a lot on the plot and immediatley many began comparing it to the book Time Travelers Wife written by Audrey Niffenegger’s. In an article over at MSNBC they look at the comparison between the two and the editors thoughts on the show:

“In “Journeyman,” a San Francisco reporter, Dan Vasser, discovers he can travel back in time. It becomes clear that there’s a reason for this ability: He’s meant to change the past in certain ways involving a stranger. But he has trouble resisting the opportunity to change things in more personal ways, especially since, in the past, he’s able to see once again the fiance he believes died in a plane crash.

The awesomely named Moon Bloodgood plays Dan’s dearly departed love. In last year’s abruptly canceled “Day Break,” she played a similar character — she was Taye Diggs’ girlfriend, and he had to keep replaying the same day to try and save her life.

Scottish actor Kevin McKidd plays Dan. McKidd is much beloved for his role as Lucius Vorenus on HBO’s “Rome.” He’s hiding his own rich Scottish brogue for the role

Creator Falls said the idea came, in part, from a party he attended where the conversation turned to how many of the guests had Googled a former boyfriend or girlfriend. “It just started getting me on the road of people sometimes wondering if their life had taken a different course,” Falls said”
