THERE WILL BE TIME: July 2016

Thrill seekers is very much a made for TV B-Movie, but that being said, it's a bit under-rated and certainly worth checking out some time. Just don't expect something like The Butterfly Effect!

About the audience to the crucifixion, there's a book and a short story that deals with it: the book is Up the Line, and the short story is "Let's go to Golgotha!", found in The Young Oxford Book of Timewarp Stories. In the book, the master Robert Silverberg adress this issue as follows: "'Taken to its ultimate, the cumulative audience paradox yields us the picture of an audience of billions of time-travelers piled up in the past to witness the Crucifixion, filling all the Holy Land and spreading into Turkey, into Arabia, even to India and Iran. Similarly for every other significant event in human history: as commercial time-travel progresses, it must inevitably smother every event in a horde of spectators, yet at the original occurrence of these events, no such hordes were present! How is this paradox to be resolved?'
Miss Dalessandro had no suggestions. For once, she was stumped. So were the rest of us. So was Dajani. So are the finest minds of our era."
The short story states that, "Simon was frantic. 'Harry, Harry. Look at the crowd! Look around you! There are no Jews here. No natives. The only ones here are us. The holiday-makers. Do you realize the enormity of what we've done? The whole guilt of mankind rests on our shoulders.'
He was sobbing violently now. 'We've crucified the Son of God, and we're going to do it next tour, and the next and the next...'".

Agreed. "The Butterfly Effect" set the standard way too high...

Before crashing and burning with Butterfly Effect 2 & 3...

But I think none of the creators of the original were involved in the sequels, am I right?
(but I must admit that I like BE3 juuuuust a little bit...)

Just finished this. The book wasn't bad, some nice ideas. The conversations were a bit odd, hard to follow. I could see this as a movie the action sequences would be especially attractive to a producer. The author seemed to be having trouble with the whole not being able to change significant events rather like 11.22.63 which used similar excuses. All in all an enjoyable read, I'm just glad it wasn't longer. Anyone else wanting a twist at the end concerning the doc?

Ugh...I have this book on my library account saved to read list and I forgot about it.
