Trope name is Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense Of Scale, not any of its subpages. Discussion here.


* SciFiWritersHave/NoSenseOfTime: After [[spoiler:killing the Uber-Morlock]], Alexander travels all the way to the year 635,427,810. Apparently in that time, the Morlocks [[spoiler: have run wild and enslaved the Eloi as a direct consequence of his actions.]] 635 million years is a huge amount of time--roughly equal to how long it took for protists to evolve into humans--making it doubtful that the Morlocks or Eloi would have persisted that long--especially since in the first place they evolved into separate species (or at least subspecies) from humans in the first "mere" 800,000 years.



--> '''Alex''': This is a perversion of every natural law!\\
'''Über-Morlock''': ''(strangles Alex)'' [[ArmourPiercingQuestion And what is time travel?!]] But your pathetic attempt to control the entire world around '''you'''!
