IDK thought that’d be a cool concept, like some guy is trying to change the past, but he can’t get to the exact date he needs to, and so has to overshoot to ensure he doesn’t pass it and has to deal with whatever time he shows up in.

    I feel like Terminator sorta does this in that all the “historical records” remaining are very imprecise, so even if the technology was hyper-precise, you don’t really know what you’re aiming for. But not in the literal sense of the OP.

    I’m trying to remember how time travel in Continuum worked.

    There’s obviously also the collection of stories where the time travel is accidental, so there isn’t really a statement of intent to begin with.

      Been a while since I watched Continuum, but I think they didn’t overshoot. Most of them -thought- they did because only one person was aware of the actual goal.

      Not 100% sure tho, should probably give it a rewatch.
