geebsThese last few eps of Felicity are gonna drive me nuts. Sure, you may think going back in time to change a past mistake is cool. But changing one little thing can change everything!! Look at what Felicity did. She totally changed everyones lives. And its one thing to pull a Groundhog Day. Changing a day isn't too bad. But going back a year. Or several years? Just showing up a few minutes too early or late can have incredible consequences! How can you remember to do everything else right? Let's say you said something stupid or blew some great opportunity. But there are other things in your life that went good. And your family and friends are well off too. How can you be so sure that if you change that one thing, the impact is minimal? Just interacting differently can cause a cascade of little events that cause great changes. Kids may not be born. Peeps may not hook up. Or end up with someone else. And for better or worse, people may end up living. Or dying. It'd be one thing to see how things turn out and get to choose which timeline you want to follow. I mean, you can change that one thing, but it ends up screwing other things totally and you prefer the old way. And if you can't get back to that, that would totally suck.
And really, how can you interact with people knowing what you know, knowing the future and how things will turn out? Trying so hard to get them on one path may cause them to go down a totally different one. Its just too much pressure. I would totally freak if that happenned to me. But like I said, if I got to see how that turned out and got to choose, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. As long as I got to remember the other timeline. Mebbe its a part of me that thinks, why waste your time going through it if you're not going to remember it anyways? But then I guess you wouldn't remember, so you wouldn't know what you're missing out on. However, it seems like a waste, tossing something interesting away. Yeah, I realize this is a bunch of crazy ramblings. But whateva. I do what I want.
