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?
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In a weird synergy, I'm drinking vodka, getting ready to see Batman. (yes, it's another bar post from Scola)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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!

Always Anti-fascist!
This is weird, and probably not Natterly, but I had a dream like that once, Tep. It was hard not to giggle at their pixels the next day. Feeling the total non-festive Fridayness, but this is like the 28th in a row for me. I should be used to it, and yet?

It was probably a mistake to consume a diuretic right before going into a movie.
Ooooh! Serenity preview!

Lee, I'm busy tomorrow but I was thinking of seeing the Bats on Sunday. Wanna meet in the city?
