Episode: Timeless

In the ep, The Doctor is used to help change the past.

Also Harry Kim sends a message to 7 of 9 from the future. She manages 2 get it even tho she is in the past.

Wouldn't this mean that the Doctor would remember the incident as well??? Especially considering his mobile emmitter was used to send the message, everything that happened should be in his memory banks, right???

I'm not sure. But as it was a future Doctor, and they changed that future, the incident would have never happened, so there would be nothing in the doc's memory banks.

but if it never happened then how come the message future Harry wrote to his past self still played?? uuurghhhh temporal mechanics!

 

[mr.pointy]

it's confusing eh?

Temporal Mechanics is very confusing. It is the worst course at Starfleet Academy.

If you are interested there is a thread called "Confused?" in the Seven Days mini-forum about temporal mechanics as regards that show.
Confused

The message to 7of9 used Borg technology, and we know that they have time travel capablility, so apart from an explanation of the technology not being given, that is understandable.

As for the future Harry... well when you change history you produce an alternative timeline.

 

[Neo]

well thats trek for ya....

 

[markpud]

well once the message was sent back in time, it couldnt be affected by the changing of the future timeline... i guess....

The younger Kim takes salami sandwiches in his 24th Century lunchbox on his slipstream mission!!
