Time on TV: Narrative Time, Time Travel and Time Travellers in Popular Television Culture Reviews
-
A really savvy collection of essays -- a must read for anyone who enjoys time travel stories on TV. Example: David Hipple's essay, "Watchmaking in the Dark: The Intricacy and Intimacy of Crime Traveler," says "The Chronology Protection Case" is "a notable neo-noir addition to the intersection of time paradox and detective work".
-
Excellent book, especially the chapters on Timeslip and Sapphire & Steel.
