Talk:Alternate Timelines

Please help fully flesh out the alternate timelines. Focus on events which are actually shown in the show which demonstrate a difference among the timelines (or an unusual similarity.) No need to document things which do not relate strongly to the differences.

Events that can be likely concluded based on other timelines may be entered, but avoid speculation, or note when the presence of an event in another timeline is uncertain. Due to the presence of Candace and her power, consider that things seen may really involve use of this power, such as the painting of "Nathan in the White House."

If you have a correction which may be controversial, be sure to document why you thought the original note was incorrect here in the talk page.--Bradtem 20:43, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Need for this page

We have Time travel (theory), Dark Future and Timeline:Possible Futures to explain this. Is this page necessary? Also, some of the explanations don't make sense. Reversing time for the bullet didn't bring the whole timeline backwards, just the bullet and Hope. Otherwise, the event wouldn't have happened. If this is the case, everytime he stops time, that's a new timeline. Not the case.--Bob 20:44, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Understood. I did not see the Possible Futures page for which I apologize. There's a great deal of new detail in this new page I put forward, so I think the right approach might be to attempt to merge. I don't have a problem with eliminating the 1-second jumps for the bullet and second hand as timelines, though I think to be consistent they probably are (just minor.)--Bradtem 20:47, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

  • Like I put on your talk page, these two should not be merged. The timeline is a layout of events that were on screen. This page attempts to explain everything. This is more suitable for the Time travel (theory) page. The timeline is, again, not needed to show every single change to the timeline. The possible futures is ones that have been displayed in canon. Yours attempts to do something I tried to do in a picture (see Image:Timeline.png). Needless to say, it's a concept best tackled on a theory page, not a timeline.--Bob 20:50, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
    • My goal is not to advance a theory, but rather to document what things occur differently because of Hiro's trips back in time. I don't believe it a theoretical proposition to say that some things occur differently. While there are theories of just what is behind the time travel, and how it works, there is no question that at one point we see, for example, Hiro in the diner when Charlie is killed, and at another point he is on his way back from Tokyo. Is there dispute about this? I don't want to argue whether it's alternate realities, or changing the past, or whatever other theory is out there, just document what's different.--Bradtem 20:54, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
