A concept as old as insert obvious joke here! Today let's talk about how time travel works (or doesn't) and why its stories can be a little… weird sometimes. What's your favorite time plot? Also, which doctor/companion is your fave? (Mine's 10 and Martha deserved better) EXAMPLES USED: Doctor Who (s1e1, An Unearthly Child), Doctor Who (s1e2, The Daleks), Doctor Who (s29e7, 42), The Terminator, Back to the Future, Gravity Falls (s1e9, The Time Traveler's Pig), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (s1e1, Pilot), Justice League (s1e24-26, The Savage Time), Samurai Jack (s1e1, I), Samurai Jack (s5e7, XCVIII), Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Doctor Who (s28e9, Rise of the Cybermen), Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Doctor Who (s31e12, The Pandorica Opens), Assassin's Creed, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Thundercats 2011 (s1e7, Legacy), The Flash (s4e23, We Are The Flash), Justice League (s3e12-13, The Once and Future Thing), Kim Possible: A Sitch In Time, Doctor Who (s30e11, Turn Left), Terminator: Genisys, Doctor Who (s27e8, Father's Day), Doctor Who (s30e2, The Fires of Pompeii), Doctor Who (s29e11-13, Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords), Doctor Who (s27e12-13, Bad Wolf/The Parting Of The Ways), The Flash (s1e23, Fast Enough) Do you know how many of these examples had Will Friedle in a starring role? MORE THAN I EXPECTED. Dude is prolific. Did you know he played Ron Stoppable AND ALSO BATMAN?

I can't stress enough how awesome The Company series by Kage Baker is. If you like time travel, this is a genuinely unique take on it - or at least I've yet to find any other series that handles time travel in such an elegant way. Things tie together across 7 books in such a deeply satisfying way that I'm extremely pleased she was able to finish it before she died (way too early, from leukemia, ugh).

Y'know, you mentioned the Butterfly Effect. It would've been nice to have had a brief explanation of the concept (for the young'uns who aren't up on such things), as well as the story it originated in, Ray Bradbury's "Sound of Thunder". While Bradburt didn't invent the term (a meteorologist did that, in the '60s), he did come up with the entire idea and the imagery that inspired the meteorologist,

Immediately after watching this, I rewatched _Blackadder Back and Forth_ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzHn2H2V8N4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzHn2H2V8N4</a> which contains not only a competent amount of sarcasm but also much to be sarcastic _about_. Also on recommendations, the non-canon Doctor Who audio adventure _Ghosts of N-Space_ (CD available on Amazon), with all its faults, does make interesting use of some classic time travel tropes. (Also other tropes, gothic horror, devil worship, etc etc.)
