Line 39:
** A ''[[Star Trek Voyager]]'' episode "Shattered" has Chakotay end up in a temporal anomaly that results in various parts of his body having different ages. The Doctor manages to stabilize him. Apparently, they covered this at the Starfleet Medical Academy.
** Another episode "Blink of an Eye" has an astronaut from a planet were time operates in a faster rate than the regular universe, ends up dying during the transition to the timeframe on Voyager, while the other one barely survives.
* In one ''[[Outer Limits]]'' episode, the result of [[Ripple
** Another episode had a time traveller end up a few days in the future to see his wife dying from a gunshot wound. He goes back and tries to prevent it. However, the side effect of the trip is physical and mental degradation. By the end, his wife has had enough and decides to leave him. In a deranged state, he ends up shooting her. Seems to be a case of [[You Have Already Changed The Past]], doesn't it? Then the episode does a 180 on this idea and has the guy go back to the night he first met his wife and shoot his younger self, himself turning to dust. Of course, the worst part is that she was planning on killing herself that day.
* ''[[Seven Days]]''. There are so many things wrong with the Sphere. First of all, while it's [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|very accurate]] [[Time and Relative Dimensions In Space|in time travel, landing it]] ''[[Time and Relative Dimensions In Space|where]]'' [[Time and Relative Dimensions In Space|you want to be]] requires precise piloting. Second, [[Our Time Travel Is Different|Our Time Travel Is]] '''''[[Agony Beam|really]]''' [[Agony Beam|painful]]''. Third, well, go to the page and check out the list of [[Phlebotinum Breakdown|Phlebotinum Breakdowns]] the machine suffered. That's probably not even the full list!
* ''[[Sanctuary]]'': A time bubble allows people to enter, but violently destroys anything attempting to leave. Time inside the bubble runs six years to each day outside, resulting in three-year periods of no sunlight. Naturally, this is not good for a self-contained ecosystem. Furthermore, if the bubble had expanded too far, the time differential between the different parts of the Earth would have destroyed the planet. {{spoiler|Will and Magnus manage to reverse it, but at the cost of [[Ret
* ''[[Sapphire and Steel]]'': Time is outside the (metaphorical) safe corridor in which human life and history exist, and it is constantly trying to exploit weak spots in the corridor walls and break in. This, when it happens, is not a good thing. Time is the ''enemy''.
Line 48:
* In [http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1987/09/02 this] ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'', the dangers of using a [[Bamboo Technology|cardboard time machine]] are discussed.
