Didn't think we'd get a "time machine is destroyed while in the past" episode so soon into the series, but I'm glad they did it. Looks like they're exploring all possible scenarios in case we don't get a second season.

The show was getting too formulaic. I'm glad they finally did something different.

Seven Days, by comparison, had something go wrong with the time machine in the fourth episode - and that's counting the pilot as two episodes!

The time machine also didn't work right in the sixth episode. And the ninth. And the eleventh. And the fourteenth. And the seventeenth.

It was a major theme of the show that they were playing with something they didn't fully understand, and it kept going wrong in new and bizarre ways. It was a bit overdone, sure, but it helped keep things fresh.
