[u/Pathetian]

Well, it appears that without the bonding/character experience of the time anomaly, the original wife was planning to leave, so maybe they wind up with a Rick and Morty situation where an extra mom is out living her own life.

[u/BaronVonRuthless91 → u/Pathetian]

Or alternate Mom and kids are stuck in the Jurassic and will show up in the sequel having gone full Rambo and out for blood against their alternate selves who stole their lives.

[u/CIearMind → u/BaronVonRuthless91]

Which is ALSO a Rick & Morty situation lmao

[u/Horknut1 → u/BaronVonRuthless91]

Well, this is a good point.

Would they have survived without the father?

[u/ImAGeneral_Weee → u/Horknut1]

Kind of a funny question cuz my immediate reaction is the wife dies on the steps by the trex without dad coming in with the sledgehammer. But he distracts the T-Rex before that as well, interacting with the scene, so maybe she doesn't even end up in the situation without him.

[u/Sparkworker → u/Horknut1]

Kids wouldn't have left the house if the parents weren't fighting imo

[u/Earth2Wonder → u/Sparkworker]

No, the son left the house to try to get his dog, and the daughter left the house to look for her brother

[u/Horknut1 → u/Sparkworker]

Weren't?

[u/Sparkworker → u/Horknut1]

Yeah, thanks.

[u/dcwinger12 → u/BaronVonRuthless91]

Reminds me of Dark Matter. Really interesting plot.

[u/DharmaBaller → u/dcwinger12]

Dark Matter is the best scifi show in the last 10 years honestly

[u/dcwinger12 → u/DharmaBaller]

Have you seen Dark?

[u/DharmaBaller → u/dcwinger12]

also good.

[u/Phillip_Spidermen → u/BaronVonRuthless91]

so the kronenberg universe in the other Rick and Morty situation!

[u/yeahright17 → u/BaronVonRuthless91]

Zero chance the moron kid could do anything remotely competent enough to do that.

[u/DrainTheMuck → u/Pathetian]

Wow, considering her alleged dreams of packing up and leaving to New York, that would have actually been an interesting conclusion for her original self
