Added DiffLines:

* [[TemporalParadox Bootstrap Paradox]]: It's a little tricky to distinguish WHEN time travel was invented. In a sense, Leah invents it three times.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None

Added DiffLines:

* MundaneUtility: Stuart has access to a century's worth of memories from countless people, and what does he take from Leah, the inventor of time travel? The time she watched Film/ThirteenGoingOnThirty .
* ThePlague: Cause of the death of Stuart's son, tying him to Spisode 4's Sasha.


Added DiffLines:

* UnreliableNarrator: Because he sees all of the stolen memories from a first-person point of view, it can be difficult for Stuart to distinguish his own memories from those that happened to someone else.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtificialIntelligence: Sasha's computer assistant actually gets pretty emotional when it looks like time is running out.


Added DiffLines:

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: We are never told why "Solos" are not allowed visitors, but it takes little more than an impassioned plea for Otto to be allowed in, unsupervised.

* CellPhonesAreUseless: Justified by a storm, but given the otherwise advanced technology it's a bit jarring that Nera can't even reliably reach 911.

Added DiffLines:

* EnfantTerrible: Nera's child Jacob is basically born terrifying. It's not a good sign when the OB/GYN doctor tells you that you need to protect yourself.
* RapidAging: Through some sort of "glitch" in the IVF medications, Jacob ages very rapidly, going from newborn to teenager in the course of no more than a few hours.
