Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Maybe the quarry is on the site of a naturally occurring alternate timeline giant magnet that attracted all the iron meteorites.
Maybe Desmond is in the hatch punching in the numbers.
But if this is true, then I can't write off all the nonsensical stuff by shouting ALTERNATE TIMELINE! in my head.
Sure you can. See, it's Sid and Marty Kroft's Land of the Lost and this is really Saturday Morning. It solves everything.
The teenage girl said that in exposition to her brother, sj. They can do whatever and it has no effect on the alternate future.
Wibbly wobby...
I was pleased that they thought to work around the big paradox (i.e., going back and changing everything). Obviously didn't occur to them that they'd be screwing up someone else's future.
And how convenient that the nice, gentle, plant-eating dinosaurs come close enough to get friendly with but the mean, vicious, predators only come out at night and only seem to have a taste for cute, underdressed teenagers.
I hope that they know to avoid any red, green, black or other Crayola colored meteor rock.

To be fair, the slashers mainly went after the fully clothed boys.
It's pretty and the dinosaurs are good. But it is kind of like Lost ... with no hope of rescue.

Did they move backwards in the alternate timeline, or just sideways to a timeline that is a point now, we were then? Because if the latter, they are just changing an unknown future the way we all do through living day by day.
I'm curious to see if they'll continue handwaving the directionality of the fracture, or if we'll actually get an explanation of what the rules are. Because on the one hand we were clearly told It's A One Way Trip, You Can't Come Back, but on the other hand messages are clearly being exchanged between Terra Nova and the present/future ("I don't know who in the future I can trust" etc), so what gives?
(I'm willing to accept that you can send information back but not people, if that's how it works, but I don't like it just left hanging. MOAR INFODUMP PLEASE.)
It occurs to me that the quarry is not of meteoric iron, but of handwavium.

Then they should enter into negotiations with the Sixers immediately, because they're going to need that quarry.
They must have a way to communicate with the future, or they never would have started sending people, unless this is a "Marching Morons" scenario.
