Primeval/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

* Well, [[Canon]] seems to dictate that the Anomalies only appear in the SE of England in the present (and the [[Expanded Universe|novels]] even throw that in doubt) , but the animals that have came through are from all continents so the other end has some planetary drift (how this works with the movement of earth through space, well, [[BellisariosBellisario's Maxim|try not to think about it]]) so that city isn't necessarily London (The Arc site helen is using is not the same set that is used in the present day for example), or in England, or even a city or town that exists today. We don't know how far in the future it is, even if the cars do look decidedly [[Turn of the Millennium|modern day]] and British (or at least somewhere that has a lot of right hand drive cars).

** Regarding point C, the ''[[Back to The Future]]'' system where changing the past causes you to disappear and possibly destroys the Universe is not the only model of a mutable timeline and is actually quite rare in serious time travel fiction. The most common way of handling a single mutable timeline is to essentially "overwrite" time from the point when the time travellers appeared similarly to a [[New Game Plus]] - Helen appears back then with all her levels and equipment, but future events are no longer set in stone and can happen differently with no consequence to her. Of course ''Primeval'' is firmly a [[Timey -Wimey Ball]] series, so time travel basically works however the writers want it to at that moment.
