Agreed. To paraphrase Captain Cathryn Janeway: "I hate time travel stories." I've never bought them, and view them simply as another SF-related convention, however realistic, that is used so often that it is simply accepted as possible. Like "warp drive," in fact. Moving organized mass faster than the speed of light?
Yeah.
(I should talk: Three of my most popular novels use warp drive, to my continual chagrin.)
