Oh darling, if I had a nickel for every time the phrase "time-space continuum" was used in RD, I'd be able to buy one of the "Quarantine" dresses.
I think the reason why the theory in TTR worked was because it attacked every single sacred cow of the Kennedy presidency and extrapolated the WORST possible outcome (like Stochi from "Holoship"). Yes, he was a womanizer. There were rumors of who (Mafia, CIA) had him in their pockets and what their reasons to cap him would have been. Doug Naylor did a brilliant job with the theory.
