Unstuck in Time: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* In ''Those Annoying Post Brothers'' by Matt Howarth, this happens to Ron Post once as a result of a bad drug trip, and he keeps popping back and forth to a future in which he's fighting a {{spoiler|computer virus taking over Bugtown}}. He gets one of the people he's fighting with to tell him how it all started so he can solve the problem before it happens. Noteworthy in that this is one of the few times we get to see Ron actually making plans rather than just doing what seemed like a good idea at the time...

* Happens twice to Dr. Manhattan in ''[[Watchmen]]''. As a result of the accident that creates him, he's able to perceive the entirety of his life at once. {{spoiler|In the climax, the [[Big Bad]] bombards him with Tachyons, rendering him unable to see present events. Since the character can exist in multiple places and times simultaneously, this is confusing, even for him.}}

** His case was not random, though. It was quickly determined that he always jumped 6 hours into the future, every 6 hours, and landed a short distance from where his future self was.

* Kes, in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', except she was traveling backwards in time from the end of her life, and the timeline that was shown never actually came to be, since Kes got off the ship long before then. It did, however, provide some foreshadowing for the upcoming Year of Hell storyline.

** In the beginning of the fifth season, {{spoiler|the survivors left on the island begin to jump through time}}.

** Most time travel on ''[[Lost]]'' is physical teleportation, but Desmond's is mental.

* According to one of the [[Mental Time Travel|noncorporeal time travelers]] in [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]] of ''[[Shin Megami Tensei|Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army]]'', ''corporeal'' time travelers run the risk of precisely this happening to them.

* In ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' Axl Low keeps travelling back in time, apparently due to there being another version of him, so the universe tries to force [[Never the Selves Shall Meet|the two from existing at the same time]].

* In the [[Interactive Fiction]] game ''[http://adamcadre.ac/if.html Shrapnel]'', {{spoiler|the player is left [[Unstuck in Time]] as the result of a [[Time Crash]] caused by the accidental destruction of a time traveler's time machine.}}
