take care of Hitler ?

Only if .

Maybe we can do it now , that is : go back in time to 1932 , then invent a time machine and jump to 223...something (hope the annoying trekkies don't jump on this ) and kidnap captain Kirk , promise him a shirtless romp with a busty Frau if he takes care of Hitler

3. He probably would have ended up having sex with Eva Braun and Hitler
would have continued his evil ways.

7. I don't believe in temporal lore.

But most of ww2 is time locked by Nuke development, was going to write a story about that.


Any change to ww2 would push the nuke development outside of war, or to bad side, and then there would be many nukes on first usage, or a bad side would use them without thinking.

WW1 locked up by that also, for the most part, or the conclusion of it.


The story I was going to write includes the use of locks while things occur to keep them from being changed. Hence why significant change is important when fixing things, or so the story would go.

Note I don't believe in temporal lore, but like William Shatner and the Star Trek Series :)



There is a funny thing about temporal lore, why would people worry about 'future people' you could change society and change them by every action. Although I was going to write a story about temporal lore, where a group that ran the reset crew, they did not believe in suffering in the past just because the future was in temporal shielded future, and they mounted a raid on the complex and took down the shielding.

Pretty good story, they did it all by hand to keep it from being known, then when taking the base, they had to punch in the changes, all the smallest of ripples but timed for resonance, and done when the shield is down, so they knew it might mean they would end.

In the story, they can't hold the network control room long enough, so one of the character kisses his wife good by, grabs the final changes and jumps through the portal.

The TV series of the show would have him going around having to make minor changes to peoples lives to give them the chance to show the worth they already have that fits into the puzzle of the resonance wave. A cup of coffee for someone setting off a chain of events, or a bus ticket for someone, anything someone might need to make a difference. (sort of like TZ episode with guy with things people need) And also a bit impromptu where adjustments get made along the way.

In the story, he thinks the wife is will be gone, but does not give up hope while making adjustments, and sees her in many adjustments.

However in the story, the changes create a society where instead of people messing with past, they bring people from the past into the future, a different direction, and get her out before she fades from the temporal wake. (that part is complicated)

Thought it would make a good pilot, then TV series.

9. Have to finish some projects up right now.
Edited on Tue Aug-31-10 12:43 AM by RandomThoughts
Then am thinking about doing some writing, have lots of stories ideas, but have to get some things corrected first.


That story for example, there are thousands of songs that would fit into it, where they are part of the directions, or just conversations. Been thinking on stories for years.

Although I don't believe in temporal lore.


The general idea of the story, is the professor figured out that he did not have to change people, only get them in the right place, so he was able to do the computations by hand. there is a great scene in the story, where he presents the idea to the reset crew, and they ask for the program that does it, and his assistance walk in with stacks of papers with the equations, and then shows how they only require a certain amount of letters.

And when they fly off the base the reset crew is on, taking the temporally shielded shuttle, the raid party, and the input group, how they have to take two objectives. I think it is a pretty good story.

And then the better nature of most people does the work to fix things, all it takes is getting the people noticed or in some area where they can make a difference, so they can share their talents with many people.

Hence the story has a positive message also.

11. We didn't even KNOW about Kirk until the late 60's.
This is going to be complicated...
