We are going to witness another unexpected revelation next week on The Time Traveler’s Wife season 1 episode 4 of The Time Traveler’s Wife. What exactly is going on here?
We saw a story about Clare encountering Henry in various eras of her life for most of the first three episodes. Things could get a little more complicated in the future when she sees numerous copies of her husband at the same dinner gathering. So, what will happen as a result of this? Is it possible that things may spiral out of control?
Parties are, in some ways, at the center of this episode. Clare is currently trying her hardest to have the perfect one. Meanwhile, you’ll notice that she’ll be celebrating her 18th birthday, which will undoubtedly be noteworthy.
Clare encounters Henry, the future love of her life when she is six years old – and who is visiting from the future as a time traveler. When a gorgeous redhead walks into Henry’s library fourteen years later, claiming to have known him all her life and to be his future bride, a magical romance unfolds that is as expansive and intricate as Henry’s attempts to explain his “disease.”
The genre-bending drama series brilliantly mixes themes of love, loss, marriage, and survival — in a plot that defies the laws and logic of time – over six hour-long episodes.
This is a show that frequently leaps between different periods and stages in the life of its characters, often in the same scene. However, Moffat’s steady hand keeps things obvious, partly through a recurring pattern of Henry and Clare’s ages spilling onto the screen, and partly through (somewhat risky) hair and make-up decisions that emphasize the disparities.
Despite many troubles, it’s easy to see why Henry and Clare remain together. They have chemistry, common sensibilities, and a sense of humor that is comparable. They work, even when the entire cosmos is conspiring against them.
But, ironically, it is in this interaction that the show struggles. Many people have noted how uncomfortable Clare and Henry’s relationship is, with the elder man effectively “grooming” a six-year-old girl for becoming his bride, since the book’s release. In his adaptation, Moffat tries to address this critique head-on, but with mixed results – as well as other difficult aspects of the source text also elude him.
The Time Traveler’s Wife is a bit like Henry’s life in that it touches all over the place. Some situations and concepts get five out of five stars, while others only get one or two. This show made me laugh, but it also made me cringe, as I winced at some line readings just before laughing at a fantastic joke. Like the tumultuous relationship at its center, it’s full of peaks and troughs, highs and lows.
