[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 7598177, member: 1231"] I kind of thought the treatment of time travel was inconsistent. Young Kelly was all like, "we know it will work because it already worked," but then the plot turns out that it did not work. That feels pretty contradictory to me: presumably Commander Kelly already had this time travel incident happen to her and it worked then so why is there some sort of weird time travel two step going on where it both worked and did not work at the same time? And how they solved it with the Doctor just fading away was just weird. I enjoyed watching the episode, but between that and the black hole stuff it was not very satisfying. Like somehow they can hide in a black hole but ocean pressure is a *problem* . The chronometer business is fine, I mean their ship should have the capability to calculate what the time variance would be. But the fact that they can "see" what is going on inside the black hole is super dumb: if their sensors can accomplish that inside the black hole they should be able to accomplish it outside. In any case I think the fact that Young Kelly is younger and mildly prettier than Commander Kelly is not that relevant to the dating situation. Like, you could do that some plot with Captain Kelly and most of the same issues would apply: what does it mean to be attracted to a different but completely real version of a person you love but whom you cannot be with?
