Hmm... Didn't think of it that way! Did you recognize the actress?

LOVE that movie! Been a Dennis Quiad fan since Breaking Away. :-)

Yep - the Butterfly Effect - see Season Three of The Flash for reference. ;-)

And for an older reference, see the movie - Butterfly Effect.

LOL - of course! It's an old trope - as much as the closed loop is a trope
(Timerider, Somewhere in Time) - I predict we're seeing a closed loop from

 DW> I liked it.

We started watching the second episode, but we were both distracted with
