I feel like every story has a plot hole.

Especially time travel stories, none of them ever has a consistant rule of time travel.

Maybe not any plot holes per se, but there's definitely some character inconsistencies, a whole lot of convenient timing and coincidence, and they stretch plausibility to its absolute limits. But hey that's what makes great television.

Closest I can think of is the magnet thing in the season 5 pilot would definitely not work IRL

Is that a plot hole though? That's just something that wouldn't work in reality

[–] MrPoopbutt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I define a plot hole as doing something that doesn't work in the established roles of the series universe. The show universe is not shown to have rules different from our own, so if it wouldn't work IRL then it shouldn't work in the show.

I acknowledge that this is probably not a common take and even so it is a stretch to make the claim.
