Something i hated in the movie was the inconsitoncy of the time travels. Sometims when you go back you change things; other times you were already there and had already changed it! =-P

The Enemy's Gate is down

As I see it, if you travel back in time with no intention of altering history and don't do things you know with absolute certainty shouldn't happen, or likewise do only things that you know you were required to do, then it may effect nothing. Doing things that weren't supposed to happen creates potential problems, I'd expect it to create alternate timelines, which it does in the movie to an extent. But the transition between realities doesn't seem to actually happen, if it did there'd be no need for paradox correction. - Quolnok 22:08, 21 January 2008 (PST)
I realised this, and it absolutely PISSED ME OFF. This is how I see it - Every inconsistancy simply adds to the paradoxes at the end of the film. But it does make me utterly infuriated... It's either one or the other: Pre-destination paradoxes, or a flexible timeline. I like to think that the former is more realistc and likely, albeit far less dramatic. --Fatt Daddy Inc. 12:20, 10 September 2008 (BST)
Unlike other science fiction, I am unsure that Futurama takes its own time travelling serious. And I think for that reason, the time travelling seen in this film will ultimately be inconsistent, regardless of theory. --SvipTalk 12:27, 10 September 2008 (BST)
