TVLINE | And just to be clear, Silas is in fact Isaiah’s grandfather?
[APPELBAUM] Yes. He is.

So Silas is either Gavin's grandfather or Eve's grandfather? 
Or should we even speculate that Silas could be Levi's grandfather?
Or does the show's time traveling leave open the possibility that in an alternate universe Gavin's or Isaiah's or any character's parents are not the same as in the universe seen in the opening minutes of the show's pilot?

If Isaiah is Gavin, then who is Gavin's father/Silas's son or daughter?

Since we don't know what year Silas is from, he is probably from the future, like Doc Aldridge and has likely traveled back and forth in time quite often. Gavin's parents could be anybody, in any time line, I don't think that will be that big of a factor, at least not yet.

I think Gavin’s bio parents are going to be a major part of S2. I remain unsure whether we’ve seen them already since Silas is an unreliable narrator.

It is a time travel show, so they could do anything. But since Josh and Izzy almost died when Isaiah didn't go through the light, it seems that a character's parents must be their parents in any and all universes they are in. If time was altered and their parents didn't meet, they wouldn't still exist as a remnant, they would die like Josh and Izzy almost did.

But I do think Silas is from a different time and may even be an older version of a character we have already met.

There really was Civil War gold, at least according to lore. Did it somehow end up in LA in the La Brea universe?

Of course it did :D

I hope they manage to keep the stupidity that makes this show fun. It would be a shame if they decided to try and have the show make sense.

I've only caught up to about halfway through season 2, but I'll speculate anyway: this whole thing is Gavin's hallucination/delusion  and he's going to wake up in a pool of puke, committed to a rehab center as Eve and Levi wave at him through a tiny window to his cell.

I started watching out of a mild interest in the mysteries and some of the supporting characters were interesting, but because the dumb writers insist that I am clearly supposed to think that Gavin is the bestest, most spe-shull superhero evah and because he makes my freaking skin crawl....I've decided he's just the type of greasy, d-bag meglomaniac to pickle his feefees of not belonging in vodka and create a delusion of himself as this savior of humanity by being this super cool time traveler on a quest to save his twue wuv. 

These other poor saps are just collateral damage. And I'm not sure how much longer I can watch this basic manbun bro's fantasy....

ETA: I am badly embittered toward greasy haired average dudes who get built up to be such saints/heroes that the entire show becomes about how special they are (see This Is Us, which I had to stop watching because of the incessant St. Jack worship) and how every freaking character has to admit how wrong they are in the face of such goodness. I'm waiting for the wolves and tigers and other ferocious creatures to worshipfully approach Gabe-a-Vision with flowers and apologies for taking healthy chomps out of his family.
