Sequential skepticism.
I really, really hate the time-travel sub-genre in science fiction.
I realize it can be a useful way for the author to tell their story but how can I believe in humanity traveling back and forth in time, repairing timelines and saving the world whilst following a guy in traffic who can't quite manage his turn-signal obligations?
*Don't even get me started on people and speed limits.
