If you haven't seen the movie version of all these Zombies I highly recommend it... problem is I can't remember the name... It has Ethan Hawk in it... and uhh.. well anyway it gives it a more complete ending and deeper layering than the original book, which is rare in a movie. Look up that name real quick. Predestination, a mindblower of a time travel conundrum.

Yeah, I've watched the movie based on the short story "All You Zombies" by Robert Heinlein.

When people start griping about my Marcone is Harry and Murphy son Wag. Or my other time travel WAG's, I bring up Predestination which is a more extreme case of time travel where the person is his mother, father and self. 
And when they say it's bad writing, I again point to the absurdity of the paradoxes of this movie based on a short story written by a science fiction giant that was made into a successful film.

Whenever I got a problem, I tell myself K-I-S-S. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Time travel as an answer is complicated and confuses the heck out of me. Plus, it feels to much like a cure-all. Don't know how something happened then Harry must have time-traveled.

raidem:
Well, the good thing about most of my time traveling theories is that it doesn't have Harry in the minutae of did he do this or that in this or that book.  It largely pushes the time traveling instant some distance into the future.  So he really hasn't the skill yet to do any of it.  The greatest tipoff in my mind of him time traveling in books is the presence of IdHarry.  We also know he gains the ability to pull Harry's from one reality to another, so it's an ability that is in potential toolbox for him. One that creeps toward an ability that is connected to time travel.

wardenferry419:
I have heard IDHarry as being many things. Some possibilities are Harry's subconscious, Future Harry, and another possibility is Dumorne's remnant either as mental projection (horcrux-type) or ghost. Anyone have any other possibilities as to who IDHarry is?

raidem:
Well, if you read his entrance and conversation with Harry in Fool Moon, you can gather that he is aware and probably has already tried time travel a time or two to change things, and it hasn't been easy.  Replying to "Easy for you to say."
