More than 400 films and 150 television series have featured time
travel - stories of rewriting history, lovers separated by
centuries, journeys to the past or the (often dystopian) future.
This book examines some of the roles time travel plays on screen in
science fiction and fantasy. Plot synopses and credits are listed
for TV series from England, Canada, the UK and Japan, as well as
for films from around the world. Tropes and plot elements are
highlighted. The author discusses philosophical questions about
time travel, such as the logic of timelines, causality (what's to
keep time-travelers from jumping back and correcting every
mistake?) and morality (if you correct a mistake, are you still
guilty of it?).
