I could not even finish the first episode of Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time. I theoretically could love a show with this premise or else I wouldn’t have even tried, but this execution is not my thing.
I assumed Monster Girl Doctor would be about a Monster Girl who’s a doctor, I should have known better.
I decided to re-watch the first half of Railgun T while I have nothing else new coming out, it’s holding up great.

Back to the present of Railgun. In my post on The Wolverine I ranted briefly on how I don’t like predicting the future being presented as a scientific rather than magical ability. Maybe it’s a silly distinction to make, Magick or Science really shouldn’t change it’s Determinist philosophical implication. But when it’s Magick I more easily accept that the rules for how changeable the future is will inevitably be flexible to serve the interest of the plot.
Maybe it’s then inconsistent that Time Travel is something I only like seeing done in SciFi and hate seeing thrown into Fantasy. Maybe delving into Time is just so problematic that I’m only really into it when they do something really interesting, and these biases are just based on what Genres I currently think have handled them less badly. I like how Your Name dealt with the Grandfather Paradox by just having people not remember doing the time travel related activities they engaged in.
