Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A force or entity within the work alters the timeline, past or future, of the show.
* '''Straight''': Bob excised Alice from the spacetime continuum using the [[DoctorWho Demat Gun]].
* '''Exaggerated''': ???
* '''Downplayed''': ???
* '''Justified''': The being that was excised would eventually have caused mass deaths, therefore the local TimePolice had him or her removed. The revised timeline is not much different.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': ???
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': Bob does this in order to create his ideal world.
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Deconstructed''': Characters in-universe begin angsting about how [[CosmicHorrorStory easily everything and everyone could be erased from history altogether, and wonders whether it was themselves who came back wrong due to remembering it or if it was everyone else]].
* '''Reconstructed''': The characters in-universe don't have RippleEffectProofMemory, thus don't experience such angsting. They live and act as they would in their original world, because they ''are'' there.
