Delayed Ripple Effect: Difference between revisions

* An episode of ''[[Farscape]]'' is particularly odd. John's past self is dying...and he turns ghostly and translucent...so he goes to his mother, who does things like Tarot and believes in the mystic, and pretends to be himself, dying, and asks for her to get help. The "particularly" comes into play in that John almost ''did'' die in such an incident at that age, so why would said occurrence cause him to fade? (They end up creating a [[Stable Time Loop]].)

* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' was a big fan of this trope. Usually when changes were made in the past, it took time for the timeline to rearrange itself. e.g. White Hole, Timeslides, The Inquisitor
