THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE | 1.04 (2022)

This moment in Ep 1 of The Time Traveler's Wife had me weak.

"Marriage. Two people trying to be the person the other one already thinks they are. Love, basically."

Henry and Clare <3

now I understand Clare's anger and disappointment that Henry is so much more immature and asshole, so different from the older version she knows.

She went from the man who didn't hesitate to kill someone because she asked and without giving reasons to a boy who couldn't give a guarantee of relationship.

The Time Traveler's Wife is one of my favorite books, and I am SOOO relieved the HBO show doesn't suck! The movie kinda sucked, but this first episode was everything I wanted it to be. I really like how they explore more of Henry's condition; parts of him time travel independently once they've left his body, which is gruesome and I love it! I can't wait to see how the rest of the series mixes things up. I don't want a 1-to-1 adaptation, I just want it to feel right. The movie didn't feel right, but this does.

What he just said, you wanna know why I said it? Because time travel is awful. It's shit scary. That boy out there: time travel has never done one nice thing for him... Until today.

Does a Haircut Maketh a Man?

Spoilers for Episode 5 of The Time Traveler’s Wife. Read at your own discretion.

Clare suddenly falling all over 28-year-old Henry because he looks more like 40-year-old Henry bothers me.

For episodes now, 40-year-old Henry has been begging asking Clare and others to just be kind; to have mercy on younger him -- and I get it, younger Henry is prick with a raging case of foot-in-mouth-syndrome -- but Clare isn’t particularly kind or merciful. I don’t blame her. She’s right. She fell in love with older Henry and young Henry seems so immature by comparison. But my goodness, it seems like she’s not even trying.

That is until The Haircut™.

Okay. I’d be lying if the haircut didn’t take 28-year-old Henry from sleaze-ball to stud. The wig was horrible (we know it, the stylist knows it, hell the wig probably knows it) and may it disappear into the ether never to return. Still, there’s something intrinsically wrong (to me, at least) about Henry changing himself to fit her ideal because the changing seems so one sided. People change in relationships; we grow into each other and for each other. But it seems like all of the demands for growth are coming from Clare for Henry.

I know Clare “apologized” to Henry for wanting him to be someone he’s not yet, but the apology feels perfunctory because Henry immediately follows it up with a declaration that he can be somebody else (presumably future him). I so badly wanted her to tell him, “No, just be you. I love you.”
