1!! FridgeBrilliance:
2* In 802,701, even before revealing to Alex that he remembers everything, Vox makes peculiar quips hinting at this. Whether it's mentioning Jules Verne as right up Alex's alley, or quoting a poet from after his era like T.S. Elliot as someone he wouldn't know ''yet''.
3* The Über-Morlock letting Alex go with the Time Machine isn't entirely out of civility or some vestigial shred of human empathy. Having not only knowledge of what happened in the past but also a glimpse into Alex's mind, he knows well that whatever happens, he and the Morlocks [[YouCantFightFate will still come into existence]]. Why bother trying to stop the man when victory had already been decided?

5!! FridgeHorror:
6* Vox spent thousands of years alone in the underground ruins completely alone, save for one Eloi who managed to escape the Morlocks. We then see that the Eloi died of old age and until Alex showed up, Vox was probably going to spend eternity in the same room as his only friend's corpse, all the while unable to bury him.
7* We only see one attempt to save Emma. How many times did Alex try to save her before he realized that there was no saving her, and needed to find out why?
8** He says ''twenty seven''.
