I don't know if it's my favorite, but I read The Green Futures of Tycho as a kid and it was probably the first book that made me consider "change the future" time travel stories might actually be kind of a horror genre. William Sleator's stuff tended to be a mildly unsettling for the tween audience it seemed aimed at. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Futures_of_Tycho
Finished watching “Bodies” on Netflix. Liked it. Lots there for those who enjoy #scifi#timeTravel#philosophy#vinyl#shellac and character driven thrillers. Some depth on the topic of free will. Recommended.
It’s 2014 and Amy Daughters is a forty-six-year old stay-at-home mom living in Dayton, Ohio. She returns to her hometown of Houston over the Thanksgiving holiday to discuss her parents’ estate—and finds herself hurled back in time. Suddenly, it’s 1978, and she is forced to spend thirty-six hours in her childhood home with her nuclear family, including her ten-year old self.

Movie: Back to the Future
(simply because it’s so damn entertaining)
TV Show: Quantum Leap 1989 - 93
(entertaining, most episodes have a message, Sam & Al are awesome, Al’s wardrobe is awesome)
Book: 11/22/63
(what starts out as a story about trying prevent JFK’s assassination turns into much, much more as the 21st century protagonist makes a life for himself in the early 1960s)
Do I rate this based on the present (2023) or when I first saw this in 1994? I guess the latter, so it will be fair, an 8 out of 10. Many are raising and giving bad reviews about this show, but I think it is unfair. This was an early 1990s movie. Movies people are rating today will be just as a “bad” as they described 30 years from now.
That out of the way. It was nostalgic, re-watching this 29 years later. I was reminded of how people think of time travel back then, with not so much a worry about the grandfather paradox, and more about ripples in time.
We've come a long way, not just in movie making, storytelling, but also in how we perceive time and time travel. Yet, the ideas from the 20th Century is as valid today as it was before, only better and more mind-boggling.
If they reboot this, either as a new movie or a TV series, I wonder how it will be reinterpreted. Or maybe, one just have to watch the Korean TV sci-fi “Sisyphus: The Myth” to have a glimpse of what it can be. ^_~
This book definitely had me gripping its pages and wanting to know what was going to happen next. I love a good #mystery#thriller novel, and I also love the concept of #timetravel, so combining the two was perfect. Did I know this book would be about time travel initially? No. I wanted to read it because it's a mystery/thriller. But as soon as Jen woke up on Day Minus One, then Day Minus Two, I knew. At first, I was confused by the frequent time skips and didn't understand why they were so random, but after learning that they may be happening so that Jen can pay more attention to the details of her surroundings and interactions, it made more sense. Like, if you had a chance to go back and do things differently, would you do it?
Ok. You've just discovered a magical camcorder that can travel through space and time. It can record high quality sound and video for one hour. You can only use it three times.
