I don't understand what mousepod is saying at all. Maybe I need sleep.
But these characters are NOT different people. It's an alternate timeline, not an alternate universe. If my father had not died 10 years ago, but was still alive today ... I would still be me. Different incidents may happen, and I might be slightly different for that. But no more different than I am between a Monday and a Wednesday.
So I'm really not getting this thing about the charcters not being the same, or their relationships to each other being false ... especially since the characters and their relationships to each other are what I think the movie nailed so successfully.
It seems quite clearly to me the alternate timeline element is a skimpy conceipt to allow slight differences without being lambasted for it, and nothing more. I frankly don't know what mousepod is on about.
