Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Lois & Clark Plot Holes: Tempus Fugitive

So, there's been something on my mind for while now, and I was wondering if anyone else noticed the inconsistencies...

In Tempus Fugitive, Wells erases Lois and Clark's memory of the whole adventure to "preserve the time stream," because she's not supposed to find out yet, and to let her remember would alter the timeline.

HOWEVER, Wells then dumps Tempus in 1866, where he's locked up in an insane asylum, and he writes everything down in a journal, which is discovered by Mr. Mayzik years later, setting off the events that led to Lois finding out about Clark. Therefore, had Wells never intervened, Lois would have found out in a very different manner (probably, Clark would have told her, because he wouldn't have been interrupted by Mayzik. At least, that's my own hopeful thinking)

So, my point is this: Wells erasing Lois and Clark's memory in Tempus Fugitive, is not only frustrating, but also completely, and entirely pointless, because at the end of the day, it was still Tempus' fault, and the result of the time-travel adventure that led to Lois finding out about Clark.
