Here's a great reminder of what the roles are, played out perfectly on Where In Time is Carmen San Diego (produced 1996-1997), an award-winning children's history quiz show with elaborate staging and tight production and scripts, with challenging questions for everyone:
Carmen Sandiego (played by Janine LaManna born June 14, 1966, Xer), villain, steals something from the past that changes history forever. A real Crisis!
The Chief, ultra-typical charismatic, prophet guide defines the mission to save history and offers the rewards Lynne Thigpen Boomer, lived 1948-2003
Squadron Leader, ultra-typical slacker (as shown in Season 2)--turned-super energetic nomad manager/commander and brave tactician Kevin Shinick Xer born March 19, 1969
time pilots, who navigate history by supplying fact fuel for the time skimmer through achieving data boosts, and who capture the loot and the villains, Millennials born about 1984
Engine Crew, very-competent and stylish Xer technicians, includes
Alaine Kashian, born October 27, 1971 https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1293256/
John Lathan https://www.abouttheartists.com/artists/...ohn-lathan
Owen Taylor, performer in Cats and Candide https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff...ylor-71333
with great music!
I watched this episode; I can totally see your point, Eric. Though I don't think I could get into this show, it's just too noisy and annoying. It's interesting the way the generations line up to their roles in the 4T constellation, even though they are all one life phase behind. Meaning the Heroes are children, the Nomads are young adults and the Prophet is in mid-life. It's like a dress rehearsal for the 4T. If only we could get to this state in the real world, not just in a TV show.
I also noticed how stressed the kid looks at the very end; Millennials are pressured and it showed on his face.
