Introduction:

FBI agent Jamie Pratt investigates a series of murders spanning a period of forty years — all committed with the same gun.

"We all struggle to define ourselves; to live our lives with some sense of balance, with one foot in the past, and the other reaching... for an uncertain future."


Closing narration:

"Our yesterdays are like a string of pearls -- unbroken -- unchanging. But if we could change our past, would that also change who we are?"

I've wanted to go back in time and kill Hitler for years. But, the thought of doing so brings rise to a new question: what if, because of killing Hitler, someone else lead the nazi party and was better at it than he was? a truly horrifying thought.....

lol that poor dude, he got executed twice and shot twice...dude died 4 times in this episode!!

Time is such a sensitive thing; like a pebble tossed in a pool; one wave touching another wave; but where will it end. With one thought; be gets an action; with one action be gets a outcome; but can mere mortals estimate the circumstances without taking in consideration all the possibilities, the probabilities, with predictable flawlessness and sound judgement; lacking the eyes of eternity.

@antichristanarchist laundering cockroaches of the world! Stalin killed 20-30 Ukranians by starving them. Mao killled 30-40 million in the late 50's due to changes in agricultural principles. Anybody talk about that? Six millions pales in comparison. Besides, what makes the Jew any more deserving of better treatment than the other man? The blood of every man is 'red'!

@antichristanarchist If you only knew who really financed Adolf Hitler, then you may perhaps want to go back in time and eliminate these REAL criminals who were responsible for the whole bullshit 'false flag' wars in the first place, namely Prescott Bush, and the rest of the criminals who are accountable for the entire planet being in one big shit crock. The names are J.P. Morgan, The Federal Reserve, Chase Manhatten. You can add the Swiss Banks as the Cherry on top. They are the 'money...

@oracle2world In your initial comment, you stated, "I thought they all used 9mm." This sentence was not even phrased the correct way. You should have phrased it, "I thought they all were killed by a 9mm." Your phrasing indicates that you thought multiple individuals (they all) used a 9 mm gun. The correct phrasing indicates that all of the individuals were killed by a 9mm gun.

@oracle2world You thought all used what? Who all? The professor? Do you mean the professor who, in the new timeline, has not gone back to kill anyone? Only the detective has gone back, her first occasion being to kill Horowitz. Remember that the other timeline is negated; this also means that the detective has to inform the professor what she had done in the other timeline so that the detective could initiate the same behavior. The bullet is from the detective's gun, not the professor's.

If you would get back in time and kill Hitler, you would create a complete new timeline. Millions of people who otherwise would get killed - would survive. Billions and billions of new little decisions. All this decisions would create a new world and you know... new people. It`s extremely unlikely your grandpa and your grandma would ever met. And even if they did: Diferent sperms would win the race. So, NONE OF US would ever be born. That`s way too much sacrifice for me.

@Blodo666 And Plummer plays one of the few characters in the 1990's version of The Outer LImits who gets to come back in a later episode. She returns for the season 6 two-parter closer, Final Appeal as Professor Teresa Givens as she stands trial in a near future, 2050, court after she travels forward in time.

@antichristanarchist If the war hadn't happened you or me and many other people probably wouldn't exist because people would have met different partners there wouldnt have been a baby boom after so many people were lost etc theres so many variables from changing just one thing. Best thing even if it was possible would be to learn from past mistakes and let time work itself out.

Amanda Plummer who plays the professor is just awesome. Women don't receive enough serious roles like that in movies.
