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 miss the 80s, back when you could shoot someone at a public park at point blank range three times with no silencer and not attract attention from anyone. Seriously, WTF @ this?

[TomerMMHA]

That's a good point. I mean, so many people were killed by serial killers and terrorists.  With no disrespect for the dead, they can't all be good. Who knows how many victims of violent crime would have become serial killers if they hadn't been murdered. You blew my mind, heat45

Anybody making negative comments about this episode does not recognize brilliant writing and brilliant acting. This is top grade 4 star science fiction.

this doesnt make sense. what happens to the reality before she travels back in time when she returns? does everyone just forget about the finger prints/execution or is that a parallel reality?

@Sqda08  too bad, eh?

Pure Genius. A definite classic, that I can relate to as a victim.

If was going to time travel to the past, I would at least wear clothing from that period to blend in. The lady that does the time travel, her intentions are noble, but she never thought of the effects of her actions. Take the video game Red Alert 1, Einstein traveled to the past to kill Hitler before he rises to power. Like the lady, Einstein's intentions are noble & good, but the removal of Hitler allowed someone equally insane to take his place.

A Silencer wouldn't make too much of a difference.

Check out the plethora of youtube videos with real silencers.

They don't magically make a supersonic bang into a whistle.

Food for thought. =)

this is my favourite episode, the story, the meaning, the statement it makes, i would do exactly the same, except i would kill the ones who force themselves on children and teenager, they so deserve to die! give me a timemachine, a gun and leave the rest to me, seriously!
