Message-ID: <2658@topaz.ARPA> Date: Wed, 10-Jul-85 18:51:37 EDT Article-I.D.: topaz.2658 Posted: Wed Jul 10 18:51:37 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 15-Jul-85 06:57:45 EDT Sender: daemon@topaz.ARPA Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 14 From: Steven J. ZeveThis is a slight spoiler I guess. a few digests back someone mentioned the two time travel theories that seemed to be implied by the movie. I suggest a third one is also implied, the theory that the time flow will somehow smooth everything out so that it looks like no interference ever happened (either you get absorbed into "standard history" or the universe bends probability way out of line to keep things straight). As evidence I first point to the scene with the young Goldie sweepinng up in the coffeeshop and then to the scene of Marvin Berry calling his brother (?) Charles. Steve Z. -------
