I still think that versions of time travel that don't allow for much or any change to the past are more interesting to explore. When characters can go back. But everything they have done has already been done before and there is no way to change the outcome. Watching characters wrestle and deal with that can be really interesting.

yes, thats always interesting! I also like it when they go back to try and prevent something from happening, but their actions actually cause the thing they are trying to prevent

Huh. I think if time travel does nothing and everything is basically set in stone, what's the point of time travel at all? That depresses me.

I don't like it when they can't change things and just go, "Oh, I can't change things I give up I guess," (see: The Time-Traveler's Wife) but I love it when they try and try and still can't do it. I also like it when they get wild changes they couldn't have predicted.

I hope you watched Dark! I think it's my favourite set in stone time travel show of all time

I like a lot of different time travel scenarios. Like when they can change some things, but other things they were trying to avoid happen in a different way; when they change enough that they can no longer predict what is going to happen and something really surprising happens; when they accidentally change something while trying to change something else; and when they try to change as little as possible, but just by virtue of being there and not remembering exactly what they did before, they change things and then they give up trying to stick too closely to what they did before.

I don't like it if it feels pointless. I wouldn't consider it pointless if they learned some sort of lesson from it, like if they learned more about another character because they were paying attention to different things this time around, or they learned to be a better person, or they learned that some things can't or shouldn't be messed with.
