Has there ever been a time travel SciFi story where the premise is that time travel is imprecise, and you can't control the EXACT time you go back to, there's a "margin of error" for when you arrive? (hexbear.net)

IDK thought that'd be a cool concept, like some guy is trying to change the past, but he can't get to the exact date he needs to, and so has to overshoot to ensure he doesn't pass it and has to deal with whatever time he shows up in.

Been watching the TOS movies to fall asleep to recently and I'll be watching the second half of that tonight! It's the second lowest on my TOS movie ranking (6,2,1,3,4,5) I think if maybe somehow they could split the crew and half do sci fi stuff and half do fish out of water stuff I'd prefer it but there's also the fact that EVERY character has a great moment in the fish out of water plot so I don't really know how I'd split that difference but it does drag it down for me.

Solid ranking. 6 is my personal favorite at well, but I'm incredibly biased because I think the Excelsior is peak starship design.
