After catching up with the episodes, here's my overall assessment: Instead of the series being about alternate histories or about how time travel impacts the present (or the future), time travel itself barely matters. The episodes remind me of episodes within the Stargate franchise where the team encounters time travel or alternate realities... you know by episode's end that the characters will be back to home-base. The key difference being I cared about the characters of the Stargate franchise, and thus the stories were compelling.
As for their own self-imposed rules of not being able to travel to any point where "you" already exist, they traveled to the Nixon era in the most recent episode. Now the good guys might not be in the 40s, but Matt Frewer (though not featured in that episode) is on the bad guy's time machine... surely he lived through the 1970s. Shouldn't the whole universe be folding in on itself by now?
