BOC: "No-Zilla"

[SPRAWL]

hehehe..
name one single instance in any work of fiction where the act of
altering the past was handled properly. the closest i've seen was in an
episode of red dwarf, and that was atrocious!
IMO, anytime time travel is introduced, things are bound to get silly.
Superman can fly around the earth backwards faster than the speed of
light, turn back time and fix any error he makes.  yeah right.

if time travel is ever to exist, then it must always have existed.

altering the past erases the continuum from which the action was
launched. if that continuum doesnt exist, then history was never
altered, so nothing has changed. loopty loop...

rj... going back to unsend this post.
