- TriviaAs the show deals with time travel, it is only fitting that each episode title relates to that. In the first season, all episodes have the word "Time" in their titles, such as "Wasting Time" or "Playtime".
In the second season the writers expanded on the idea and named each episode something with "Second". This can be read as both the time measurement, but also an indication of the season to which the episodes belong.
Keeping in line with the previous seasons, all episodes in Season 3 includes the word "Minute" in their titles.
Continuing the trend set by the previous seasons, all episode titles the final season contain the word Hour. Very fittingly, the final episode of the final season is called Final Hour.

- Quotes
[second season opening title sequence]
Kiera Cameron: 2077. My time, my city, my family. When terrorists killed thousands of innocents, they were condemned to die. They had other plans. A time travel device sent us all back 65 years. I want to get home, but I can't be sure what I will return to if history is changed. Their plan? To corrupt and control the present in order to win the future. What they didn't plan on, was me.

The show starts off in a distant but possible future where governments begin to fail to repay their debts and Corporations bail out the governments, to what extent we don't know. You do learn that the government very close with these corporations, and that not everyone enjoys how the corporations are running things.
A group of terrorists are constantly trying to disrupt the corporations and bring them down with any-means necessary, or so we are lead to believe, and this is where the show get's interesting. The terrorist are really just terrorists, but rather they are revolutionaries that are trying to build an honest society without the corruption of the corporations.
As the series unfolds. I like knowing that the core 'good' characters want the world to be a better place and are fighting for what is right, while the other characters each have their motives and their means. They each make their own decisions and don't have simple 'bad guy' motives. In fact several times I found my self rooting for the revolutionaries because heck I don't want a corrupt government in place, and some of the characters when given the option of fighting without violence opt for it.
If you give this show a chance I think it's one of the most compelling scifi shows out there. If you liked Caprica, or Battlestar Galactica you will like this show. The characters are very strong and compelling.
