I like time travel when it's circular, meaning that the events caused by the time travelers have already happened in the story, and we're seeing the other side of it. It implies that those events always would have happened, and that use of time travel is "canonical" to the timeline of the universe. It's also REALLY hard to write, so it makes it even more impressive when it's pulled off successfully and believably. There's a Netflix show called "Bodies" that had a FANTASTIC circular time travel story set up, and then they completely shit the bed and ruined it in the end of the second to last episode, and the final episode. They completely break and rewrite the rules they established earlier in the show, and I will never not be salty about it.
Zahn: "Imma end this man's whole career"
Allston: "What career? What career?"
Well hyperspace certainly works like that in Light of the Jedi....
Aaron Allston's gamer moment.
Lol
Unfortunately Timothy's Zahn would never say anything like this today : )
What do you mean? He was on Midnight's Edge recently and he didn't sound any less independent-minded than in this video.
