Time Squad Intros (2001-2003)

Keep in mind that H. Beam Piper’s Paratime Police mainly enforced the rules (such as they were) on the exploitative corporations who looted time sectors for their resources, and enforced the Paratime Secret by killing any native who found out.

Oh yeah, and they also kept slaves and had prole labor sectors, that were probably industrial hellscapes.

They were an exploitative culture that escaped their demise at the last minute by discovering paratime travel, and so never had to change their ways.

I don’t know why they didn’t just loot uninhabited time sectors, but I think those were “narrow” because it was human interactions that created most of the timelines.

Would a Time Lord fit the bill?

Ok so if you have not seen predestination, everything below here is a spoiler…

Strangle made me think of Predestination, where Ethan hawks has a sex change so he can go back in time and get him self pregnant so that he can be born, because he is is own mother and father!

And that time travel is only possible in his life time, I would guess because hes the biggest time paradox ever, cos how does he get born in the 1st place, as he needs to be Born, Grow up, have sex with him self, have a child, join the time police, go back and have sex with him self, and then become the very same time terrorist he was recruited to stop, none which needs to or will happen if he is never born!

The paratime police stories were a good read. H. Beam Piper on the other hand was not such a nice guy to put it mildly.

I guess in theory that the Time Lords put themselves in charge of time travel… but of course, both the Doctor and the Master went rogue…

Thus, the existence of a time police, a governmental body that regulates time travel, to prevent what is usually referred to as violations of “causality,” or changing the cause-and-effect model underpinning the idea of time paradoxes.

Or, possibly, time moderators:

Now I understand why Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi was the reboot of Little Fuzzy. Scalzi said he loves the book but it was very much a book of its time (late 50’s-early-60’s).
