Line 53:
== Live-Action TV ==
* An episode of ''[[The X-Files]]'' had a guy come from the future to [[Grandfather Paradox|kill himself before he can invent his Time Travel technology]], and
* In the ''[[Fringe]]'' episode "The Plateau," a man is shown deliberately setting a pen on a mailbox, which serves as the catalyst for a chain of events resulting in catastrophe. It later turns out the man was {{spoiler|the subject of an experiment that increased his cognitive abilities, allowing him to instantaneously calculate variables at a geometric rate, and resulting in his being able to both predict the future and also control it via chain reaction.}} Unfortunately, {{spoiler|his mental speed eventually surpasses his ability to communicate with anything other than a supercomputer}}.
