Re: Razor.

I do like the 'what if' aspect of stories that show the possible tragic
outcomes without actually doing the damage, but sometimes it is a
convenient fallback device and it is TOO easy and commonplace. star trek
seemed to be getting that way. they had more time travel ways than
spaceways and i can't see how they had any historical continuity at all,
with all the parties criss-crossing the eras, fighting temporal wars
[cold or otherwise]. I know they had starfleet playing time-cops:
safeguarding the timestream, in one voyAGER EP, but that seemed to have
broken down and factions were fighting the Temporal Cold War in a later
era and influencing events back in the 22n century, and probably a lot
of other ones too.
As to andromeda, i don't consider dylan's being frozen at the black hole
an actual 'time travel' event. it is a natural occurrence that he was
caught in: a natural progression of one moment of time to the next, his
timeframe was just slowed way down relative to the outside universe.
The andromeda travelling back to Witch Head or Dylan back to sam's
rescue ship were time travel events.
