Me i'd love to go back to the English cival war,and i'd love to step back in time to see both of my folks to see what they were like when they were alot younger.Also i'd love to pop back to the 40's to see it for myself,to see how people lived even if it's only for 5 minutes,the experience would last with me for a lifetime i think.But what about you now please?

TARDIS:
Time and Relative Dimension(s) in Space

I'd go to see my partner when he was in high school and college so I could catch up and enjoy all those years I've missed with him.

I can't imagine any time being more interesting than actually riding in the Tardis.

But, if I had access to one I'd be more interested in seeing the future and other planets and civilizations.  The history of humanity is pretty well set.  War, winner writes history, brief periods of peace, rinse, repeat.

All of my life I have yearned for living in the late 1800's.  When you could see the rewards reaped for hard work.  When traditional marriages were the only way there was.
When everyone understood everybody.

Is it a cop out to return to my misspent youth, with my age earned wisdom, and making better choices?

I'd love to visit Crete and the Minoans at the height of their civilisation but well before the eruption of Thera.

I would return to mine, misspend much more of it earlier on and less of it in the mid to latter days.

And I would go to Norway in the 700-900 ad  area somewhere.

Go back to hang with my homies in the Norse settlement in Greenland.  A time when the men were men and the sheep were scared.

That works too Ron. You should set yourself up as a Time Travel Agent.

That could have had a very Freudian basis, note the roundness of the O...and take away the extra and the root word is right there----it is all so plausible, so why am I here instead of pencil and papering my way to 4-5 yards an hour?

First, I'd travel all of time, recruiting suitable warriors from every place and age; Alexander's retinue, Odinic Berserkers, Japanese Samurai, the Waffen SS and so on...

Then I'd like to travel back to Roman times, to the battle which Constantine won and by which he became Emperor and imposed Christianity on the Empire.

I'll leave you to guess the rest.

I'd visit with the Marquis de sade a while. [:D]




Lorelei115 -> RE: If you had your very own tardis.What time period would you like to revisit? (1/22/2007 8:44:24 AM)

I would visit Feudal Japan, Ancient Egypt, Hang out on Crete with Zensee, Wander through Greece and Rome at the height of their respective civilizations, be part of Catherine de Medici's court when fine cuisine was basically invented in France, and check out China during at least two or three dynasties. Oh and the 60's in America 'cause I guess I missed out there.




Zensee -> RE: If you had your very own tardis.What time period would you like to revisit? (1/22/2007 9:40:00 AM)

You'll be wanting the TARDIS Travel Pass, Lorelei.

I think I'd add a visit to the Indus Valley, circa 2000 BCE. I don't think I'd like urban Europe at any time prior to the development of modern sewers and  hygienics, regardless of the cuisine. Palace life might be acceptable though.

The thought of going back in to my youth is definately an interesting one. If I were able to I could avoid many mistakes I made in my life then. But if I did that would I be what or who I am now with the wisdom learned through my miss haps and and mistaks made in that time. I don't know where the saying coms from but there's one that goes something like this. " If Man doesn't learn from his mistakes and change he is destine to continue to his distruction" or something to that the more I think the more I can't remember the hole thing. I guess it is a what they call a paridoxie. is that spelled right ? Oh well guess you get the point




mymasterssub69 -> RE: If you had your very own tardis.What time period would you like to revisit? (1/22/2007 11:53:35 AM)

just drop me off somewhere between the days of King Arthur and The Elizabethian Age (the reign of Elizabeth I)

'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
George Santayana, 1905

Paradox, and yes it would be.





stef -> RE: If you had your very own tardis.What time period would you like to revisit? (1/22/2007 12:17:21 PM)

I would travel back in time and deliver contraceptives to a large number of people who really should have used them.

Yeah, but birth control fails, stef.

I'd go to Japan in the height of the samurai era, just to watch and see how close it is to the way it's portrayed these days.

I would love to have been an explorer sailing around the world and discovering countries/continents in the 1500/1600s. Imagine the sheer bewilderment when seeing/hearing beasts, fruit, jungles and the unfamiliar sounds for the first time - not even knowing they existed....I'll have a crack at that if you've got a spare machine....

.........have to say I'm not looking forward to the "oh fuck" moment on landing at shore only to be faced by thousands of starving savages all rubbing their stomachs, pointing at me and then pointing at the boiling pots.
