    Sure, but that clarification only holds until another writer on another time travel episode decides they need different mechanics for whatever story they want to tell. Because time travel is nothing more than a plot device, its nature changes depending on the plot it’s facilitating.

      Well they have an actual science consultant on the franchise now, which I assume if why this episode moved to a more of a modern understanding of time and multiverse theory here. Hopefully she keeps them consistent from here on.
