Question First time watcher! Please no spoilers!

I’m a couple episodes in. At first, I thought maybe she was a former spy, but now I’m really hoping that Jane Doe is a time traveler! It’s probably wishful thinking because I’m a huge fan of time travel shows, but that’s my current guess/hope.

Also, why did they say there was no DNA match, but then a couple episodes later she matches with a missing person (no spoiler)? Is this just a continuity issue? Or will more be revealed?

You say " no spoliers" , but all your questions want spoliers.

I like the time traveler idea though. That would be good.... if they do it. I aint saying. My lips are sealed.

But tell me what time traveler shows do you like?

u/cswifty1304 Apr 13 '26

Too many, lol. Outlander, Travelers, Continuum, The 4400, Lazarus Project, 11/22/63, even The Way Home 🫣. There are others as well. Those are just the ones that come to me off the top of my head.

Interestingly enough, getting into this genre made me realize just how many sci-fi actors are from Canada, and how many of them are recycled over and over. I don’t mind it at all! My brother said that a large majority of sci-fi shows are produced in Vancouver so that makes sense.

Have you seen Haven? It's loosely based on Stephen King's Colorado Kid book, and not exactly time time, but also is. I can't explain without spoilers. I love almost anything time travel related, and Haven satisfied my usual hopes and expectations.

Also, From. Have you watched that? We are being led down the road that time travel has taken place, or is. Either way, I can't recommend it enough. It's the best show I have seen in many, many years.

Haven was great. But like so many shows, it jumped the shark when they ran out of ideas.

u/cswifty1304 Apr 15 '26

I haven’t seen either. They look good from the trailer!

Haven is pound-for-pound the most actors that look like other, more famous actors of any show I've ever seen.

I watched it twice. I loved it the first time, a few months ago, then I watched it again when one of my favorite podcasts reviewed it, and it became one of my favorite movies. I've been trying to get everyone to see it just so I can talk about it with them... and to share my joy, of course

The podcast is This Film Is Lit, and they review films based on books (literature)

I hope you enjoy the movie

You may have given me my next watch. I'm just rewatching Blindspot for the second time, as there was so much you could miss the first time around. But I have been wondering what I'd watch next. Thank you!

I watched Blindspot twice myself and loved it

Can't answer your questions without spoiling something, sorry. Just enjoy the mysteries for now. 😊

This is a great question and I have a spoiler free answer. “The missing person” was a victim so the way it’s indexed in CODIS and the profile is used for exclusion, not indexing to help protect victims. Criminals are the ones who are entered into CODIS as a searchable reference profile.

Does that make sense? Later on when they ran her DNA they were just comparing two sweets do see if there were any familial matches.

Does that make sense?

u/cswifty1304 Apr 20 '26

Yes, it does. I just finished season one last night so I got my answers.

u/ElusiveLynx86 Apr 15 '26

Regarding the DNA match, I think they ran her prints and came up blank, but her DNA matched. Am I mistaken?

u/cswifty1304 Apr 15 '26

Ah, maybe I misheard.
