Supercut' is a term recently coined that is defined as a fast-paced montage which isolates a single element from its sources, usually a phrase or cliche. Exploring this new category along with inspiration from artists like Christian Marclay and Matthias Muller this work is an exploration into film and television's influence on society's future in science and culture. Utilizing source material from the actual form that influences me, my montaged videos highlight and exhibit concepts in the media I am discussing through its own context, allowing viewers to evaluate the overall repetitive ideas and influences affecting their own perceptions learned from this form of entertainment. The Video consists of approximately 15 minutes of hundreds of clips from film and television using time travel as a plot device.

Von Neumann Paradox
| S - | Ep - | 1929// |
| - min | ||
In mathematics, the von Neumann paradox, named after John von Neumann, is the idea that one can break a planar figure such as the unit square into sets of points and subject each set to an area-preserving affine transformation such that the result is two planar figures of the same size as the original. This was proved in 1929 by John von Neumann, assuming the axiom of choice. It is based on the earlier Banach_Tarski paradox which is in turn based on the Hausdorff paradox. Banach and Tarski had proved that, using isometric transformations, the result of taking apart and reassembling a two-dimensional figure would necessarily have the same area as the original. This would make creating two unit squares out of one impossible. But von Neumann realized that the trick of such so-called paradoxical decompositions was the use of a group of transformations which include as a subgroup a free group with two generators. The group of area preserving transformations (whether the special linear group or the special affine group) contains such subgroups, and this opens the possibility of performing paradoxical decompositions using them.

A man named Alpha from 2823 sends two Collectors to bring Nelson to his time to add the Admiral to his collection of military officers. Chief Sharkey goes to the future to help while the Collectors wreak havoc on the Seaview. A beam of light strikes the Seaview. Two silver-faced beings materialize inside a time portal. They freeze the crew using unknown technology, then send Admiral Nelson forward in time to a complex owned by Alpha (John Crawford ) which is a museum devoted to military figures, only these are not wax, but the real thing. Plundered from the past. With a four-hour working week in place, citizens of the future have plenty of leisure time to spare, so a 'Hobby Act' has been passed by the Government. Alpha is well within his rights to kidnap military people from periods of history, and brainwash them toresembles add to his collection. Nelson is to be the latest addition... A remake of a 'Time Tunnel' episode entitled 'The Kidnappers', this gets off to a good start, loses its way about half the way through before ending on a down note. Alpha wants not only Nelson, but 'weapons of war' from the Seaview to enable him to carry out a revolution in his own time. So why do they not do this, instead of standing around the 'time lock' like sentries? When they finally become active, all they do is go to Nelson's cabin to steal the rest of his uniform. Alpha's control room is nicely designed, with lots of lovely flashing lights of the sort that cropped up in Irwin Allen's other shows. The climax has Crane, Sharkey and Nelson escaping back to the Seaview just before blowing up Alpha's complex, killing all the kidnapped soldiers. The writer ( William Welch ) had clearly painted himself into a corner, but even so it is a pity that Nelson did not express remorse for their deaths, in fact it is shamelessly glossed over.

The crew of the Seaview encounter Mr. Pem who can control time. Pem sends Nelson back in time to force the Admiral to let Pem use the reactor to power his device. A time traveller named Mr Pem (Henry Jones) sends the submarine Seaview a million years into the past. Screen entertainment does not get much better than this, yes I am a Voyage-Nutcase, but I tell it like it is, if Voyage does a crap show I will say it is crap, but I can only say good things about A Time To Die. Writer William Welch let us down at the start of year four with the very average time travelling hour - Time Lock - but maybe Irwin told him to get his act together and try again, the result: A Time To Die! A very pleasing Welch time travel script with some knockout acting from both Basehart and Henry Jones...the pair talk and talk and talk together and we hang on every word! I would even go as far as saying that act two of A Time To Die is the best scripted bit of science fiction I have ever seen on the screen. On top of the script and acting we have music, very new Leith Stevens music, and it seems Irwin may of told this guy to lift his game a bit as well because this is some of the very best Leith Stevens music I have ever heard. Stevens scored Destination Moon (1950), War Of The Worlds (1953), Lost In Space: Blast Off Into Space (1966) and Time Tunnel: Reign Of Terror (1966), all mind-blowing music, but his A Time To Die score might just be better than all of those! Much like season two's The Cyborg, this hour is a winning combination of top sci-fic story telling, top acting, mild humour and totally outstanding music. And if you feel that A Time To Die needs a follow up episode, don't worry, you got it, Mr Pem returns in the Voyage/Sea season final: No Way Back.

Mr. Pem returns to help Admiral Nelson prevent the Seaview from exploding. Pem transports the submarine to 1780 where they encounter General Benedict Arnold and Major Andre. This was one of the best episodes in the series in my view. It contained some of the silliness that was the trademark of the last two seasons (and that's what we loved about the show anyway!) However, some thought went into it as well. You learn a little about history and until I saw the episode I was unaware of Major John Andre. From reading about him in the encyclopedia I learned that he was purportedly very much like the character as portrayed so well by William Beckley. The closing scene where Kowalski asks Nelson what would be Andre's fate is thoughtful and somewhat moving as well. Wonderful performances by Barry Atwater and the always delightful Henry Jones as the impish Mr. Pem. A blend of both action and historical interest, "No Way Back" closed the classic series on a definite high note.

A member of a league of time travelers and a boy travel through time repairing errors in world history. Phineas Bogg is a voyager who travels through history keeping it on the right track. After he lands in Jeffery Jones' bedroom and loses his guide to history, the two of them travel through time together fixing things that go wrong. Phineas Bogg is a member of a group people called Voyagers. They help history along. Give it a push where it's needed. He is a regular human that was living as a pirate a few hundred years ago, when he was chosen to be a voyager. He travels by way of a gold pocket watch like device called an omni. When the light is flashing red, it means history is wrong. His job is to fix it. In the pilot episode, Bogg ends up in 1982 when his omni malfunctions. (He is only supposed to be able to go as far as 1970.) He ends up in the apartment where 12 year old Jeffrey Jones and his aunt and uncle live. (Jones parents were recently killed in an accident.) While there, Jeffrey's dog grabs hold of Bogg's guide book (basically a history book.) Bogg being a pretty inept history person has no clue what to do without his book. One thing leads to another and Jeffrey falls out of the building's window. The only way to save him is for Bogg to jump out after him and travel through time. Now Bogg is stuck in ...
