* TimeyWimeyBall: How the time travel works. It seems to work on the principle ''Back to the Future's'' did, meaning that once you go back in time, the future/present is changed, unless changed again, and the only ones to remember the incident that set them to change it are the travelers. The only thing that's different, though, is the fact that objects that travel with them are protected from the timeline changes as well, but not ones that are near the vortex as it's active, as seen when Virgil brought a VHS tape of how the school football game played out back in time with them stays as it is, but the school newspaper Jeanette was reading changed after they changed the outcome. The main difference is the fact that the time machine can only go a maximum of 48 hours back, though Charlie was most likely working on a way to travel back further, since Virgil said that he wanted to go back 4 years to stop the incident from the first day of their freshman year. Realistically/practically, though, how would they have expected to travel back to before the time machine was either active, or in existence and, if they managed that, how would they have expected to get back? Sure, Charlie could've maybe built another one, but that would've been a major hassle for all involved, since the time machine doesn't go back with the travelers.
