We keep going around and around and they keep bringing up time travel. They've gone forward and back and changed things around in both places. You'd think that there would be more dramatic changes going on other than future's being erased and re-written.

I like and loathe that we don't really know what will happen in some instances and just when we think we know we get jerked around a bit and realize that we were wrong.

At the same time it's hard to know what's relevant and what doesn't matter on the show.

Yeah there seems to be absolutely no "sure thing" anymore.

Would Noah have been such a great "father figure" if Future Clairebear hadn't have had that conversation with him? Or would he have just treated it like an assignment like he was told. I mean she knew he was a company man, he should have dropped her then asked questions.

This season has been all over the place. Always a fun show, but it can be so annoying and stupid (and lame) at the same time--but I never really felt this way until this scatterbrained season. I'm not sure if writers or showrunners were changed, but something sure did.

I couldn't help but think the whole time Claire was talking with her baby self, "This is what Doc Brown would call a paradox that could destroy the universe. Although, that'd be a worst case scenario, it'd most likely just be our galaxy."
