IDK thought that’d be a cool concept, like some guy is trying to change the past, but he can’t get to the exact date he needs to, and so has to overshoot to ensure he doesn’t pass it and has to deal with whatever time he shows up in.
Isn’t this Quantum Leap (or at least the reboot, I don’t really remember the original)…
Thar be spoilers…
Quantum Leap couldn’t get exactly where they needed to in one shot. They had to kind of slingshot-effect around other places in time to get to where they needed…sorta like slingshotting around planets to go faster in space.
yeah one of the simpsons halloween episodes homer accidentally builds a time machine when he’s trying to fix the toaster, but he doesn’t have precise control since it’s controlled by a screwdriver jammed into the toaster electronics.

There was an episode of The Original Star Trek series I think

Been watching the TOS movies to fall asleep to recently and I’ll be watching the second half of that tonight! It’s the second lowest on my TOS movie ranking (6,2,1,3,4,5) I think if maybe somehow they could split the crew and half do sci fi stuff and half do fish out of water stuff I’d prefer it but there’s also the fact that EVERY character has a great moment in the fish out of water plot so I don’t really know how I’d split that difference but it does drag it down for me.
The Doctor can be pretty imprecise.
