*sigh* never mind.
Yeah, it's great that they didn't cop out with this "it's all a psychotic dream" shit. OTOH, they didn't suggest time travel as a serious possibility. It was a clever story. If they meant it to be taken as a serious possibility, as in some hard science fiction, a plausible sounding mechanism for time travel would've been offered. Staring at some words in a journal is not a plausible mechanism. ;-)
