Kukho indawo kumabonakude apho iyantlukwano kunye nokubandakanywa kubakho rhoqo, apho abantu ababhinqileyo nabangengabo abamhlophe bengachazwanga ngokobuhlanga okanye isini sabo, apho isindululo somsindisi omhlophe sisishukumiso seBig Bad, kwaye apho konke oku yenzeka ngokuzolileyo, kungabikho naluphina uluvo olugqithileyo kwezentlalo nezopolitiko. Le ndawo yindawo ye-NBC's retro-time-travel-adventure Ayilixesha , kwaye ndiyamangaliswa yile nto njengoko unjalo.
Kwabo bangaboniyo-kwaye bagwebe ngokwamanqanaba omboniso, inokuba uninzi lwenu-ingcinga ye Ayilixesha iklasikhi entle ngokulula kwayo. UConnor Mason (Paterson Josephy), osisityebi, okrelekrele, wenza umatshini wexesha, othi ubiwe ngokukhawuleza ngumntu okhohlakeleyo othembekileyo othembekileyo otshintshe imbali. Ke urhulumente uqesha iqela eliza kumnqanda: uLucy (Abigail Spencer), uprofesa wezembali, uWyatt (Matt Lanter), ijoni, kunye noRufus (Malcolm Barrett), injineli ekuphela komntu onokuqhuba umatshini wexesha elisele ( kuba, ngokwendalo, zimbini). Bazipha ixesha, baneqela lezinto ezizayo kunye nedrama yobuqu, kwaye ekugqibeleni bafumanise ukuba umntu abamleqayo uzama ukubamisa ngokwenene I-baddy, umbutho onesithunzi ozama ukuguqula imbali iye kwiinjongo zayo.
Ngaphandle kwesiseko kunye nesimbo, Ayilixesha shies kude kuninzi lweetropu ezinxulunyaniswa nohlobo lwento kwaye endaweni yoko zihlanganisa enye yezona zinto zahlulayo zahlukeneyo kuthungelwano lweTV. Kumaqhawe amathathu, inye kuphela (i-Wyatt) emhlophe kunye nendoda, kwaye uLucy ngumphathi we-de facto, hayi yena. Elona qela liphambili elixhasayo liquka umntu omnyama (okhankanyiweyo osele ekhankanyiwe ngusozigidigidi) nabafazi ababini ngombala — omnye wabo nguAgent Christopher (uSakina Jaffrey), onesikhundla esiphezulu kwezona zigqeba kuwo wonke lo mboniso.
Ayilixesha intle kakhulu into ephikisanayo nabo bonke abo banyanzelisa ukuba ucalucalulo, isini, ubufanasini, et al. zamkelekile okanye ziyimfuneko kwidrama zembali (okanye iingcinga ezingeyonyani zembali) kuba zinjalo izinto ngelo xesha! Iqela lihambile kwiinkulungwane ezintathu ezidlulileyo, kwaye akukho nakanye xa uLucy esongelwa ngokudlwengula-ukubulala kunye nokuhlukumeza, njengalo lonke iqela, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa zange nakanye woyikiswa ngendlela ekhethekileyo yesini. URufus, okwangoku, wenze uhlobo lobugcisa ngaphandle kwenkcazo ye-wry yexesha elinikiweyo lobuhlanga: Sigcina isityebi sabantu abamhlophe-imbali yam ininzi. Ukwehliswa kwakhe kuluhlu oluhlekisayo (ukudlula INkosana entsha yeBel-Air Ingoma yomxholo njengoLangston Hughes umbongo wegama elithethiweyo), njengoko waye wanika umgcini wobuhlanga le nto ngo-1930 kumqhubi wenqwelomoya:
Ndikwi-Age Age yamatye, kodwa ndoda, ndiyathemba ukuba uphila ubomi obude, obude. Kude ngokwaneleyo ukubona uMichael Jordan dunk, uMichael Jackson umdaniso, uMike Tyson ukubetha ngenqindi-nyani, nawuphina umntu omnyama ogama linguMichael! OJ? Ewe, uyehla. Owu, uyenzile, kodwa asikhathali! Kwaye u-Obama, ungumongameli. 2008. Oko kuya kukufunxa! Ndiyathemba ukuba ubona konke, kuba ikamva alikho kwicala lakho, inkwenkwe .
Ngumboniso okwaziyo ukuhamba ngentambo phakathi kokumnandi kwembali kunye nezikhumbuzo ezichaziweyo zokuba ezi zigaba zothando zangaphambili zazingezizo ezothando kwaye zikhazimla kuninzi lwabemi.
Ngaphandle kwale nto, Ayilixesha luhlobo lomboniso olungabeki uhlanga lwabalinganiswa babo okanye isini phambili kumabali abo. Amabali kaRufus noMason awanjalo malunga ukuba ngamadoda amnyama, malunga, ngokulandelelana, ukuba yinjineli ebanjiswe ngakumbi ekusebenzeni nakwesoyikisayo, kwaye ukuba ngusozigidigidi owasungula ibhokisi yeengxaki zikaPandora. Ummeli uChristopher, iarhente karhulumente ebeka iliso kwimishini, zange nangelinye ixesha igunya lakhe libuze malunga nesini okanye ubuhlanga-ayichazwanga. UJiya (uClaudia Doumit), ingcali yeqela lezobuchwephesha, ngoyena mntu ukrelekrele kwigumbi nangaliphi na ixesha, kodwa kunqabile, ukuba kwenzeka njalo, yingxabano eyenziwe ngokuba yi-WOC kwicandelo le-STEM; sikhathalele ngakumbi malunga nobudlelwane bakhe noRufus kunye nexesha lakhe lokuhamba-lokungenisa umbono. Kwaye ngelixa ukuthanda kukaLucy kukuthanda-abayi kuthi-baxabane ne-Wyatt yindawo ethandwa ngabalandeli, ayisoze ilawule ibali lakhe okanye imjike ibe yiLove Inzala ™. Ewe, ndingabeka ingozi ekuqikeleleni ukuba le nto ichanekile ngoba ababukeli banxibelelana nesiqwengana sothando, kuba injalo kanye: isiqwenga somhlaba esiguquke ngokwasemzimbeni sivela kwikhemistri yabalinganiswa, kunokuba sibethelelwe ngefowuni kwasekuqaleni.
Akukho kubuza ukuba kubalulekile ukuba kubekho amabali ngokukodwa malunga amava abalinganiswa abangathe tye, i-cis, amadoda amhlophe, ngakumbi kwi-sci-fi / kummandla wefantasy, onembali enjalo yabamhlophe abangamadoda abaphambili abalondolozayo usuku. Imiboniso njenge Umbane oMnyama , okanye umva kade Ummeli weCarter , kunye neemuvi ezifana Eda ucacise kutheni oku kuyimpazamo kwaye I-Panther emnyama Ukuqhekeka komhlaba kwaye kuyimfuneko ebonakalayo. Kodwa kuyahlaziya, ngakumbi kwiTV yohlobo, ukubandakanywa kunye nokwahluka okungaqhelekanga ngokupheleleyo. Isilingo sinokuthi ngokufuthi sibeke isazisi ngaphambi komlinganiswa ukuze ndenze inqaku malunga nokunyangwa kweqela elijongelwe phantsi, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha kunokuba nefuthe kubalinganiswa bamanqindi okanye kuvumele ababhali ukuba bazive benze umsebenzi wabo bakube Kubandakanyiwe umqondiso wendlela yabo encinci.
Ayilixesha ayingomboniso malunga iyantlukwano okanye amaqela ahlelelekileyo, kodwa rhoqo kwaye ngabom ubeka loo mazwi kwi-DNA yokubalisa kwayo. Nokuba kufikwa kumanani ezembali, amaxesha amaninzi kunoko, iziqendu zijolise kumanani awayeyinxalenye yoluntu oluhlelelekileyo (uWendell Scott), abajongwa njengabalinganiswa beepheripherali kunokuba babhale uludwe lwembali (Unyana ka-Abraham Lincoln, inkosikazi kaJFK), okanye zombini. Kwa kanye lo mxholo woluhlu uthotho ngokuchasene nombono wabanyuliweyo abasoloko bengabasindisi abangamadoda-enyanisweni, abenzi bobubi abaphezulu ngumbutho olawulwa ngamadoda amhlophe abonakala ngathi bacinga ukuba ngabo bakhethiweyo ukuba basindise kwaye bathene uluntu phantsi kwizinto zayo ezilungileyo— ngcangcazela . Isenokuba yiropu ye-retro engazithathiyo ngokungathí sina, kodwa yile nto iye yavumela Ayilixesha ukubeka phambili ngokuzolileyo amazwi ayo ahlukeneyo kunye namaqhawe angaziwayo.
