    Also, if it’s affecting his DNA, is that a property of his body? He still has his personality in memories from before he spliced tardigrade DNA so it’s not tied to the specific body itself but I thought it would have been hilarious if they went back in time and Stamets is just past Stamets.

    I no longer remember why, but I had the impression that the Lorca-era jump was pre-gene splice. But I could be wrong.

    Edit: I just remembered - Landry was still alive.

    I would have loved to see a quick shot of him waking up in a bar in San Francisco or something while Discovery was under construction just going like “wait what”

    The deleted scene we deserve.
