It’s always interesting to confront a time travel story from further in time. It tends to feel like a youtube comment section where everyone’s saying “10 years later and I’m still watching.” Specifically, there was a part where Dana says she can’t imagine what she would think if a person from 2019 came to visit her. As a person who’s lived through 2019, that gave me a little chuckle.
