TELEPORTATION? not quite right

Stefafuno · 10-30-2008, 10:50 AM

hello, first i want to say that im a big fan of the Heroes series, but lately lots of questions in my head dont find answers.THE TELEPORTATION from my point of view is not well explained, or better im not totally agree with the writer about teleportation ability.PETER PETRELLI, HERO NAKAMURA 2 of them at the same time? If each one of the Peter Petrelli around the temporal timeline, teleport in one point of the timeline at the same time, how many Peter Petrelli could we have? 100, 200? millions? billions? endless? they could put up an invincible army and destroy the world in seconds...just wondering why nobody of the time traveler yet thought about it....well...hope to have an answer to this question....

sorry for my english, ciao!

It is generally considered to be A Very Bad Idea for time travellers to meet and join up with themselves--too much risk of tying your own personal timeline into knots or erasing yourself from existence by messing up your own past.

Besides....suppose you have a lovely girlfriend and/or wife. How would you feel if you walk in and she is with your counterpart? Sure, that person is you, but they aren't you.

We had a big discussion in season 1.

. and we never agreed with evreything as always, lol. the best idea is just follow the logic of the series, meaning in a movie there is not logic, lol

That's the problem with using time travel so willy nilly in your show. You run into all kinds of problems, like paradoxes, illogical plotlines, etc. I can only think of one franchise that has done time travel well, and that's the Terminator franchise, and even they are running up against it now that they've turned the franchise into a TV show.

Babylon 5 used time travel...three times, if I recall. In Season 1 we saw some characters who were saying and doing things that, at the time, didn't make a whole lot of sense. In Season 4, those characters wound up going backwards in time to Season 1, so their actions now made sense. Later, the old base Babylon 4 showed up then got sent 1,000 years into the past and became the base of operations for the last Shadow War....and Capt. Sinclair fulfilled his destiny.

Time travel in a movie is easier, like terminator, or Deja-vu. Because the main plotline is time travel, and if they use a second or third movie is going to be based in the same plotline (time-travel), so the whole trilogy is going to make sense. In a series tv is different, harder, and more... lets say.. "fictional".
About Babylon, I didnt watch that show, so I cant give an opinion on it. If I could travel on time, I would take a lot of pics, when this UFO crash in new mexico. and other pleaces. I would go before any absuctions and take films, photos, etc. They say, nobody cant change the future, but, I can make some good proves about unexplain theories, like Big foot, chupacabra, Loch-Ness monster, etc.
