D.B. Cooper and Journeyman - The Wikipedia article on D.B. Cooper mentions a sidebar that I found noteworthy myself. The NBC time travel drama Journeyman has a story arc where the protagonist, Dan Vasser, winds up with $50,000 in 1970s-era currency. Dan recovered the money from drop zone of one Dylan McQueen. The Journeyman writers clearly modeled McQueen after D.B. Cooper. Like Cooper, McQueen hijacked a plane, made away with a lot of cash and parachuted into the night. He was never captured, and Dan ended up with $50,000, altering history.

I love watching Journeyman. At one point, this series bore striking resemblance to the Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror. Recognizing and understanding the similarity while the episode played out was exhilarating. Mirror, Mirror is an all-time classic Trek story and an all-time classic television episode in all of television history.

Anyway, in Journeyman's twelfth episode, The Hanged Man, Dan returns to the present and discovers he has a daughter instead of a son. Everything else remained the same except that his son, Zach, was replaced with his daughter, Caroline. Dan had no previous knowledge of Caroline. He only knew Zach. Dan's present became some sort of alternate universe much like what Capt. Kirk, Dr. McCoy, Uhura and Scotty found in Mirror, Mirror.

Journeyman is turning out to be great science-fiction. The show has been solid from the first time it aired. Everyone should watch Journeyman, unless you get confused easily. You have to retain past story arcs and characters or you'll just be lost. So far, the series' writers have done a good job of keeping me on par.
