Sure think of it as synergy. Or think of it as the guy who gets off on just watching you get off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd be startled if he explicitly knew I was there, and certainly if he was watching me.

Scientists prove that while you can travel back in time, you can't kill your own parents and prevent your own birth: [link]

ETA: And suddenly, a whole bunch of Star Trek plots suck a whole lot more.

Clearly, the present never is changed by mischievous time-travellers: people don't suddenly fade into the ether because a rerun of events has prevented their births - that much is obvious.

How is it obvious?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't want to go alone

I'm having the same damned problem. DH has offered to keep the boy TWICE and told me to go see it. I haven't taken him up on it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think I am going to see the Bat alone tomorrow, unless one of the SFer's want to see a matinee tomorrow or Sunday.

Also, Thanks, ita! I'm going to watch it tonight, I think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Gnyargh. I give up. Sort of. Hec, what are the times? Maybe I can meet you down there for a later show.

I'm at home drinking vodka. You come home, drink vodka, we go see movie. Ugh.

In a weird synergy, I'm drinking vodka, getting ready to see Batman. (yes, it's another bar post from Scola)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Awww, Teppy, no need to reassure me about your menageity. I already had you pegged as strictly folie-à-deux creepy.

Me love you long time!
