[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] A few points: 1. We don't know yet how this will play out in the movie. It is possible that what seems confusing and/or contradictory now will be clarified/explained. 2. Specifically, we don't know exactly what Nero or Spock's motivations are or what goals they hope to achieve by going back. Someone on the TrekBBS pointed out that it's possible Spock feels a moral duty to stop Nero from harming people whether it's in his universe or someone else's, for instance. Maybe it's not the future that's at stake so much as simply [i]lives[/i]. Again, we won't really know until the movie (or script) is out. 3. Regarding previous treatments of time travel, perhaps our (and by extension, the characters') interpretations of what we saw were not entirely correct. Perhaps the characters we watched never did "correct" their own timelines but simply moved into "preferred" alternate ones. (And we, as the audience, moved with them. A little like the end of [i]Back To The Future[/i], but with the outcome less obvious to them and to us.) Perhaps there really is no such thing as "time travel," per se, but only travel between parallel universes. Perhaps, as some scientists have indeed suggested, space and time are not separate but the same. 4. Really, the whole idea that you can "fix" changes made to the timeline by making MORE CHANGES never held much existential water. It makes more sense and is more in line with what scientists currently theorize that every moment represents a point at which an infinite number of alternate realities diverge/intersect. Again, we don't move through time, but across these planes. Whether this will be "realistically" portrayed in the film is dubious, but it is a better science fiction concept. [/QB][/QUOTE]
