We are already travelling in time towards the future. The rate is too slow (or too fast) for some people, but nothing is perfect. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

We are experiencing time, we aren't traveling in it. We aren't separate from it. You can't get on and off the time ride at will, because its not a ride. We are part and parcel of it, we wouldn't exist without it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yes you can. Time is relative. Once I was told on a science show if you travel 20 years at the speed of light, then return, 40 years will pass for you, but 1,000 will pass for those you left and returned to on Earth. It makes no sense to me either. Maybe we shouldn't argue about things we can't possibly understand if this is how it really works. I'll be the first one after this comment. |

| 1nickelmiracle Member since: Mar 5, 2013 Threads: 24 Posts: 623 | Well up to episode 11, so being from the future, it's going to get a bit more interesting and mysterious. Can't let you know too much. |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | So they did the series finale (#13) last night. From Wikipedia: Kiera rushes to rescue Alec from himself and protect her slim chances of going home, as he must make a difficult choice between solving Kiera’s dilemma...or his own. No spoilers please. They showed episode #9 on Friday in the USA (Kiera turns into Torquemada ). I thought it was a little bit of a stretch. It's hard not to bump into plot lines in the future.  |

I hear next season she turns into her true character, Gollum from LOTR. This happens because she missed too many menstrual cycles in all her time traveling. This is what women really look like when that happens:  If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 |  Rachel Nichols looks better now than she did 8 years ago for her first TV series. Of course she did a short bit in 2009 Star Trek movie.  |

| 1nickelmiracle Member since: Mar 5, 2013 Threads: 24 Posts: 623 | One of the most important things is the note Alec sent himself. The entire details will probably be kept a secret until the last episode though. I haven't really seen much activity I can say was influenced by the note, but maybe this will change next season. |
