Hello, intrepid Interns. This is just a friendly reminder that your debate on the ethics and dilemmas of time travel is this Wednesday, so you'll want to pay extra attention to your classes on maintaining the timeline, temporal law, and paradox risks in the coming days.

Before I came to work with TEA, I spent over a decade as a Time Bandit, which gives me a unique perspective on these topics. Feel free to ask me anything on this post in the name of research and I'll do my best to answer honestly.

Do you want to play Devil's Advocate or should I? I'm happy to do it but it does feel a little on the nose.

Do either of you know why Teddy doesn't like Gus?

for elena. [...] it's just a waiting game of seeing how long he manages to stick it out. i keep worrying that it's worse the longer he stays, because she might get used to it, and then it'll be harder when he quits. but i also [...] think it's good for her to have this time.

Perhaps even whe if he quits, getting to have this time with her will make him realise how much he has been missing, and he will make more of an effort regardless.
