If there were a lot of time machines, we'd need traffic regulations to prevent them from crashing into each other.

Besides bringing back a wooley-mammoth....
I think I'd rather visit a wooly mammoth in his own back yard instead of having him wander around in mine. (Jurassic Park was a kind of time-travel movie, wasn't it? That didn't turn out too well.)

... I am hoping medical-science will have learn't how to graft eagle-eye-genes and mountain-goat-knee-genes to humans in the very near future.
That would make a good SF movie in a Frankenstein-like way.

The master displays his genius by demonstrating that while trying to stop the fire which he knew about ahead of time, was actually caused by himself to begin with
That reminds me of the TV series Early Edition. The hero gets tomorrow's newspaper today and tries to prevent the bad events from happening. He inevitably finds out that it's harder to change the future than he thought. Cause and effect isn't always simple.

Anywho, when i brought up dragnet I saw a blank look on his face and i asked if he had ever seen it and he said i have never heard of it
​
Ringo are you unaware of the series or just that particular episode?
I remember Dragnet but not that particular episode.
​
Maybe we need a thread on old TV shows.
