I feel like every story has a plot hole.

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

    It’s not a plot hole because:

    spoiler

    The show explains that during the moment of the apocalypse, time stands still for a short while. This is what Martha uses to keep the time loop going, but Claudia uses it to continuously gain more information about the loop they are in (by giving accumulated knowledge to her younger version). Then, using this knowledge, she makes Jonas & Martha use this same moment to travel to the origin world.

    If that’s a plot hole, so is the whole time loop.

      I definitely missed this. I had such a hard time following. And I was so LTTP that I had no one to talk about it with. I keep meaning to rewatch. Thanks for explaining!

        No problem! I didn’t really understand it during my first watch either, but rewatching a bunch of times definitely helped. Hope you enjoy!
