History Series / Continuum

* XanatosGambit: The Liber8 group pull one in the series premiere. They raid a series of banks to distract the police and Kiera thinks she's deduced that the gang has used the early break-ins as a distraction and is going after the final bank that they hit. Keira and her 2012-era partner thwart the terrorists there, but when Kiera returns to the police station, she finds that the gang used the whole operation as cover to raid a Vancouver police precient and retrieve their imprisoned comrade.

* PoliceAreUseless: Kiera thinks so with good reason. The police in 2012 think they are dealing with a standard street gang muscling in on new territory. Instead, the Liber8 terrorists are ruthless revolutionaries who have no qualms about killing cops and leaving a high body count. Some of them seem to have military special forces training. The police are completely unprepared for this and are easily outmaneuvered.

** This is briefly taken to borderline creepy levels when Alec [[HormoneAddledTeenager comments on Kiera's good looks]] when she pauses to look in the mirror in her hotel room. She promptly demands he get out; to his credit, he complies.

* JurisdictionFriction: Kiera obviously has no recognizable jurisdiction in 2012, so she pretends to be a detective from Oregon. The police inspector in the Vancouver Police Department is naturally livid that a US cop is trying to butt in on his investigation. However, cops start dying and he does not hesitate to ask for her help. By the end of the pilot he is demanding that she stay and help them catch the killers. [[spoiler:Thanks to Alec's hacking skills, Kiere stays with the VPD to catch the Liber8 disguised as a FBI agent.]]

** Verges on a ProductionPosse -- plenty of the actors are familiar faces from other Vancouver-filmed franchises like ''{{Stargate}}'' and the reimagined ''BattlestarGalactica''.

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: [[spoiler:Young]] Alec Sadler in 2012. He invented the technology that Keira depends on in the future, so his computers are able to interface with her suit and her cybernetic implants.

* TrueCompanions: The Liber8 members [[spoiler:storm a VPD precient to free one of their own.]]

Kiera Cameron is an ordinary police officer -- ordinary, that is, for the corporate-run, vaguely dystopic future of 2077 in the Vancouver District of the North American Union or NAU. She's assigned the routine job of guarding captured terrorists belonging to the Liber8 group during their very public execution. However, the group has an escape plan that involves TimeTravel and Kiera is pulled along with them back to 2012. Underground, motivated and very dangerous, the surviving Liber8 terrorists are determined to wage their war against the forces they believe will destroy the future in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia and it's up to Kiera to stop them. Luckily, she's not alone: she's quickly pulled into the orbit of Detective Carlos Fonnegra and the Vancouver Police Department, who think she's an expert on this "new street gang up from Portland," and Alec Sadler, a young tech prodigy who will shape the future Kiera and the terrorists come from.

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: [[spoiler:Some of the Liber8 terrorists storm a VPD police precient to free one of their comrades. A few officers were killed trying to stop them.]]
* [[ChekhovsGunman Chekhov's Cigarette Smoking Gunman]]: [[TheXFiles William B. Davis]] appears for a few minutes before Kiera is sent back in time. At the end of the pilot, he returns and is revealed as [[spoiler:old Alec Sadler]].

* TrappedInThePast: Kieria and the Liber8.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Liber8 terrorists are fighting to take down pro-corporate governments and restore true democracy. However, they are willing to kill 30,000 people in order to assassinate the twenty corporate leaders in charge of the system. In 2012, they have no problem murdering police officers simply to obtain weapons and create a distraction.
