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.
It takes some handwaving and retcon, but it's clear Friedman is prepared to do that, to tell the story he wants to tell.
If Friedman were doing
Manimal, 2007, I'd be a lot more willing to give him leeway than I am with something as well known as
Terminator.
I can usually shuffle around a lot, but there's no way I can buy the events of T2 happening in 1997. Fanwanking them to 1995 if John is indeed 10, as the police file shows in T2, is as far as I can go.
And I have to say, I find the producers' statements I've seen to the effect that the films aren't all consistent, so the show doesn't have to be, somewhat lazy. If I can use Wikipedia to figure out dates from the movies, so can the show writers. Of course people are going to be harping on things like "Did you notice the day? June, 1997?" If sci-fi geeks are going to ask why Buffy didn't get cramps whenever she was around vampires, like she did in the movie, giving a 1997 date for that scene is definitely going to raise a fuss among Terminator fans.
IOW, look! Shiny robots! Nice arms!
I gave up trying to resolve time paradoxes after I saw the Sealab 2021 where Stormy and Quinn keep going back to try and prevent Sealab from blowing up (and creating mutiple iterations of themselves in the process).

I have massive love for that ep.
Invader Zim had a Terminator-esque episode, where GIR's head exploded when he tried to understand a time paradox.
I have massive love for that ep.
I think it was the first Sealab I ever saw. I was hooked immediately.
I loved the scene at the end with Derek watching Cameron dance.
Also, the name of the episode was "The Demon Hand" - clearly it should have been called "Evil Hand" or "Evil Hand Issues."
if they DO stop Skynet and prevent Judgement Day, Kyle Reese will never be sent into the past & John Connor will never be born in the first place
Hush, that's the final episode where Sarah Connor is a mild mannered accountant with 3 daughters.
I love time travel wonkiness. Just love, don't overthink.
Are people really getting worked up over time paradoxes? Don't you know that it's all just wibbly-wobbly... timey-wimey... Stuff?
