Let me get this straight...


This chick goes back in time, and the only thing she's concerned about is a missed opportunity to hook up with a guy? Never mind warning people about 9/11, Katrina, or countless other disasters that killed people. Wow...

Read Steven King's 11/22/63. You can't change major events in Time Travel. Also, your first thought would be to change events?????

I was thinking that too, especially after the Enron reference.

I guess the show just wants to keep it simple and revisit 1995 when you could still smoke in a bar, used dial-up to access the Internet, etc.

Of course, how much history do you change? She would destroy the definite future of the next 20 years.

Even if she stopped 9/11, maybe Osama bin Laden then would have gotten lucky with the Sears Tower or other targets at some point. Even if one evil is stopped through time travel, how can you be sure that you won't unleash similar or worse evils (not deliberately of course)?

I think it would make more sense to buy Apple stock in 1995. Apple had been left for dead and their stock was seriously depressed. In 1995 their stock was at bargain basement prices.

The only way it would make sense to buy MS stock would be if she sold it by the end of 1999.
