Two Sorts of Time Travel Stories

There are consistent time travel stories and inconsistent ones. Consistent stories don’t have events “disappearing”, whereas inconsistent ones do. In many stories, for instance the US TV series Quantum Leap and certain episodes of Star Trek, the whole idea is to change events that already happened. According to the tenseless theory, this intention is fine so long as events aren’t actually altered. But in these shows there are always two possible futures – one wherein things “go wrong” and one wherein things “go right”.
