Ha, not likely. That would involve Jim being nice to Harry.

I agree. This is why I structured my time travel theories with this in mind. The series being read is largely preserved even though there is time travel effects occurring in the background.  I think there is tension in the books where bad guys are trying to derail what we are reading up until the send off.   Then once the send off occurs I think we will see more wiggle room of things become more up in the air but it will involve other timelines more so than just necessarily the history of the one we read.

( I view the tension of the early books as trying to sabotage Harry, Murphy and Marcone and their Fates.  I further see them being intertwined via time traveling plots.  To add further spice and twists to the early books, I place Marcone being descended from Harry and Murphy/Mab, such that entities are trying to kill off Mab/Murphy's son with Harry.)

I certainly fall in the Stable Time Loop Camp. I don't think the TT will go beyond the scope of the case files for a few reasons. The first being that traveling through time is difficult and the more time you wish to cover the more energy it would take as per CD. Secondly, I think there is WoJ that Harry will break all the Laws of Magic before the BAT. I assume it will be similar the way he has broken the others, (technically, i.e. Raising Sue, Molly's mind in GS, etc) Thirdly, with Harry fulfilling more Starborn attributes he is becoming more a fulcrum thus making affecting Harry the best way to affect outcomes. Lastly, fixing all the story lines by adding prequels, in essence, feels sloppy and cheap. This series has a structure and I have enjoyed uncovering it.

I would be fine with a Quantum Leap style with either TTHarry being inside Past Harry or maybe helpful janitors in train stations. Esp with Bonnie as his Ziggy being able to remember everything from Harry's memory.

Rasins:
Actually, I think Jim may use the TT book to let us see how some of the "inconsistencies" really aren't.  LIKE, who fixed little Chicago.  Harry did.

I doubt it'll be the case, but I could see him doing that too.

I agree. I think TTHarry fixed/ LC. He meets all the criteria for someone to able to fix it and PG is rife with TT explanations and pointed out "inconsistencies."
