Eh not really. The minute time travel is involved in the marvel universe, the timeline is changed, which means the minute they return they create a new timeline where the consequences of them being missing no longer exist. Basically causality isn't a true issue, because it's less time travel, more of dimension slipping. Since the only ones aware are the actual travelers, there's no issueGot a couple of friends that are hugely into Marvel and both quit during first season. I have been telling them it is rather awesome now, and if nothing else, just go season 4+.
They are both all "Yup, suuuure!"
Edit: And by the way, did I miss something or does this story have the standard Terminator timeloop shenanigans?
John Connor would not exist if the robots didn't send a terminator into the past, leading the resistance (or whatever) to send Kyle Reese. So robots doing nothing would have solved their problem.
In this story, Fitz wasn't sent into the future as he was not part of the prophecy. He then suddenly is, and chronicler/Gman makes sure he gets there.
Not terribly relevant since I love the season so far, I just always get stuck on these things in time travelling adventures.
No episode, but it is only a 1 week break - which is tolerable after the nonsense seen in other seasons. Not many shows aired last night to be honest. I think the show will run uninterrupted until at least 2/2/18 after this break - which is the 100 episode of the show and the 10 episode of this season
Typically, a split timeline only occurs if they change something in the past. If/when Fitz comes back to the present it'll still be his actual past. That future is only confirmed to be the actual future when it becomes the actual present, and thats only if we know the past was never altered.So Fitz literally freezing himself for 70 years kills the idea of this being an alternate future/multiverse thing, right?
Doesn't that basically confirm that this is 100% the future of the MCU (if they don't change what happened, obviously)?

Thanks for reminding me of this, my votes are now on the board.
oh man, I was out Friday night. Totally forgot about this. Have to check it out On Demand later.
Doesn't this mean that if they got back to the present and prevent the Earth from being destroyed there will still be a Fitz frozen in space for 70 years waiting to save friends that aren't in that future from a post-apocalyptic setting that doesn't exist?
she has been a while
e : lol wrong threadSo this Friday's episode is titled "Fun & Games."
