5ive Days to Midnight

I usually don't get into who'dunits, but an original miniseries from SciFi has been occupying my time this week. A physics professor receives a briefcase, presumably from the future, detailing his murder. He has 5 days to discover who wants to kill him and prevent the murder -possibly?-.

I know that the "back to the future" and "you can't change death's design" plot points have been covered before, but I still find it interesting. There is a lot of questioning and science that has come up while watching it.

Parellel realities, altering the outcome of the future and how that might ripple through time. In a way, it almost appears as if these things need to happen the way they are unfolding for a reason: maybe he needs to know about the murder to precipitate events that hinge on the future. People have come up with some interesting opinions on who's responible and what is all means. With SciFi putting the evidence on their website, there a many trails to follow and it's been entertaining to say the least.

My hubby probably thinks that I'm bonkers. I've spent a good deal of time looking through the "evidence" on the website and reading theories on the message boards. There is a lot of misleading information to keep you guessing.

I guess we'll find out how it all comes together when the series concludes Thursday night.
