I thought the Orville was a parody.
How in the fuck does a parody have one of the most internally consistent concept of time travel I have seen in ages?!
#the orville#time travel#Ok it does make one mistake. In that system the timeline that doesn't have happened doesn't stop having happened.#If indeed this creates a cyclical causality then both timelines exist simultaneously.#So the Clair who traveled back in time should continue existing in the timeline she ended up in.#That's the problem with causality. There is no internally consistent model of time which allows for the reversion of cause and effect.#In short you can't “uncause” anything.#Why the fuck am I thinking so much about time travel recently? Like it's interesting but it's not like it matters.#We neither have the technology nor would anyone dig up MY tumblr posts on the topic when we do.#Oh my god. Future time travel researchers. You have an opportunity to do something this age would deem entirely unthinkable. Cite me.
