Jane Seymour is so hot and she always has been...

[Mister Obvious]

The dude who wrote this couldn't even come up with a paradox. Which is lame and gay.

Alright I've had a day to be less butthurt about the whole thing, and I just want to explain.

In no way am I implying that a time travel story must have a paradox in order to be good.

I am just saying... the movie version, Somewhere In Time (1980), did not produce a paradox.

And some may argue that time travel in general presents a paradox. But what I'm getting at is...

There was no paradox in this story which makes you think and gives you something to really have to wrap your mind around.

And I think paradoxes can even be annoying. If things are too complex, it's not really fun anymore. If it tries too hard, it's not really fun anymore... so in that way I do appreciate Somewhere In Time.

Also, it was a book to film adaptation, so perhaps there are some elements in the original story that give a little more explanation to things.

But there are some changes I would have made to that story. That's just MY OPINION. Of course the story is what it is, it's exactly how it should have been... I'm not faulting the author or anyone else for the things I find less than satisfactory about the story.

My biggest qualm is, how did she find out he was a time traveler? Well take the coin for example... if he had dropped it after he pulled it out of his pocket, and she had found it, that would have explained how she figured it out. That would have MADE SENSE. That would have BEEN GOOD. But no... that's not where they took the story. So it goes hard against the way my mind works, and the way I think things should be.

That is my biggest issue with the story, other than the fact that I think it's totally absurd that finding the coin ultimately had that effect. It simply wouldn't have happened... but my reasons for holding that opinion are much less cohesive than my aforementioned point, so I am gonna just leave it there.

Now as far as paradoxical time travel love stories go, it doesn't get better than Predestination (2014)...
