That golf scene was the funniest thing in all of Stargate.<br /><br />Except, possibly, everything in episode 200. Especially the zombie attack.<br /><br />Blast Hardcheese -<br /><br />I've seen Primer. It's slow, but very good; very creative.<br /><br />Rev Anne --<br /><br />My wife tells me that The Time Travler's Wife is really a romance set within a time-travel situation, which is why I haven't devoured it yet. But it's on my to-read list.<br /><br />Richard --<br /><br />I'd say that Job is more of a dimensional-shift story than time travel, but it's still quite good. Especially the touching last line.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854543617806427302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-62160959199658808402010-01-04T18:21:21.318-05:002010-01-04T18:21:21.318-05:00Slaughterhouse 5 is good. Heinlein's 'Job,...Slaughterhouse 5 is good. Heinlein's 'Job, A Comedy of Justice' is a sort-of time travel story, and it's a cracker. On tv, the Star Trek TNG episode "Yesterdayy's Enterprise" is a favourite of mine. As I think about it, "City on the Edge of Forever" from the original Star Trek series also comes to mind. I'm a big Dr Who fan: I'd pick 'The Empty Child' from the Russell T. Davies re-creation, and probably 'Genesis of the Daleks' from earlier incarnations. And let's not forget 'Life on Mars'. That was fab (though I'm not keen on the US re-make).Richard Hallhttp://theconnexion.net/wp/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-27844672964951029892010-01-04T17:06:51.791-05:002010-01-04T17:06:51.791-05:00My husband loved Primer, and also loves Somewhere ...My husband loved Primer, and also loves Somewhere in Time, another shameless romance. The book is by Richard Matheson, also known for I Am Legend, fwiw. The movie is better--Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.RevAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517879408823780530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-7720020794649855112010-01-04T17:02:52.026-05:002010-01-04T17:02:52.026-05:00Myself, the best time-travel movie I've ever s...Myself, the best time-travel movie I've ever seen is Primer - done on a microbudget ($7,000), but with pretty good production values. The time travel method is plausibly 'grungy', and the plot demands a couple of viewings before you unravel what's going on.<br /><br />Best written story? Probably MWFM, as you mentioned.Blast Hardcheesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10760709.post-1414491756798323002010-01-04T16:58:48.949-05:002010-01-04T16:58:48.949-05:00I enjoyed the Stargate episode Window of Opportuni...I enjoyed the Stargate episode <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_of_Opportunity_%28Stargate_SG-1%29" rel="nofollow">Window of Opportunity</a>. Among novels, Heinlein's The Door into Summer is a favorite, though the actual time travel is maybe not central.
