I have a love hate relationship with the Loom....

Loom repairs are (finally, lol) done!  Now I am into the rebuild stage! 

Coming up: new latches for the warp beam, two more lamms, four more treadles, and fun with texsolv!  And probably another two rounds of furniture oil, with the way the first coating was sucked into the wood…

So that scene from the trailer huh. Happy Halloween!

Voyager's Krenim and Prodigy's Loom have something in common - when they attack you, you don't just die, you're erased from history. You never existed, you're not mourned by anyone because you never existed and reality has reshaped itself around you never having been a part of it. That is one awesome concept, I love it.

But...

How does it work? Say Janeway got zapped by the Annorax's big temporal weapon, or gored by one of the Loom. She never existed, right? Think about it: How far back exactly does that go? The moment of conception? Or further back, annihilating Daddy Janeway's sperm and/or Mommy Janeway's ova? And at which point does it destroy them? Does it merely stop them coming into existence, and if so, how? Or does it off her entire family line, and if so, how many generations?

Even though it wasn’t confirmed, I’d like to think that once the timeline was restored at the end of season two of Prodigy, everyone erased by the Loom returned.

I really wonder about the wider implications of the Loom erasing people from existence.

Like, what if someone they erased had a child? Since the child would never have existed without their biological parent, would they immediately disappear too? Or would they just become the Loom’s next target?

What if they erased a person who had saved someone else’s life? Would time rewrite itself so that the person whose life was saved would have died then instead? Would something like that create an alternate timeline?

This kind of thing is why I’m pretty convinced that when the prime timeline is restored at the end of Prodigy season 2, all the people erased by the Loom came back, because them having been erased would have just made more holes in the timeline and furthered its collapse.

So, uh, the Loom feed off paradox time lines right? Whelp, what better and bigger paradox is there than the Doctor? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9k00noeuyE
