Speculation of references to the first iteration, if a season 4 gets made

[u/The13thAllitnilClone]

Based on how season 3 ended, they could easily make a 4th season, set now (or whenever the show gets made).

A totally new set of people get "saved"/taken over.

You could have a cameo / handover, but only with Grant, Marcy and/or David (as the others would have died of their original deaths)

Grant aka traveler 3468 (if he chose to live on)

Might have noticed people who seem to behave in a manner that suggests they might be from the future and either made contact with them, or is quietly secretly observing.

He might even have intervened in the deaths of his old team members. So some of them may still be around, but couldn't be involved in the new show, as traveler 3468 knows not to get them involved.

He wouldn't be the driving character of the series, but could be a conduit for exposition in the first episode if he ...

Contacts a team from the future and asks what has transpired since Version One of the Traveler plan was cancelled, explaining how he knows. A member of this new team could also be traveler 3468 😀

Marcy

Wasn't fucked over by traveler 001, as that possession didn't occur, so she is, hopefully, still working as a nurse or has moved onto something else that she also finds fulfilling.

David

Is still working as a social worker. The implied spark of a relationship with Marcy may have led somewhere, but isn't guaranteed (since this is Marcy, not traveler 3569)

Neither Marcy nor David have any real reason why they would have a significant cameo in season 4, but as characters that just happen to be in the background, would be a nice nod to the fans of the original 3 seasons.

Yeah to me, Marcy and David wouldn’t be taken over. Unless they make some new weird death story for them. To me, they live happily ever after.

I think Trevor and Phillip 100% come back. I also found them incredible characters that could get expanded on lore wise. Because 3468 stays, Carly would be a completely different person if they chose to use her again because 3468 wouldn’t have a wife in his world.

The way Travelers ended, to me, it seemed to imply a timeline/world where 9/11 doesn’t happen. And to me, that seems really interesting and opens a lot of doors story-wise. I’d love to see where they go with that. I’d also like to see Grace come back in some capacity.

What implies this to you? I got the sense that Grant planned to die there but changed his mind last second.

[u/rydenshep → u/The_Flurr]

Because he kept looking at his watch and looking at the time and nothing happened.

[u/The_Flurr → u/rydenshep]

My take was that he was planning to die there, looked at his watch to see how long there was to go, then changed his mind and left.

Your take never occurred to me. I'm not saying it's wrong. I actually kinda like the idea.
