No mention of Fringe? They constantly hop back and forth between alternate/parallel universes.
Still, consider Tru Calling. It’s not like your typical episode of Quantum Leap, where we see Sam foil a criminal after Al merely talks about how things played out the first time around; we actually watch the day play out horribly before our heroine goes back in time to make a few small changes so things will go well.
There’s an American semi-remake of Run Lola Run called And Then Came Lola.
thanks for the suggestions so far, i like watching scenarios like these.
sounds interesting, though it is more like Groundhog Day that repeats once.
:smack: how could i forget? and Jeff intentionally used a single die that would exclude himself from the pick.
This thread reminds me of a film for which I saw a trailer (ten or twelve years ago) but then never saw the film itself or any other information about it.
The story was about a woman who lived alternate realities in two antipodal areas of the world (U.S. and Australia, as I recall). Each time she went to sleep at night in one, she was immediately awake and living her life during daytime in the other.
I think it was a drama, but I can’t recall if it was meant to be a horror film, thriller or existential-crisis-mindbender.
It reminded me of the film Me Myself I which I had seen previously, but it definitely was not the same movie. That was more comedic than the one I’m thinking of.
Does this ring any bells with anyone? I was intrigued by the trailer so would still like to find this film.
The JJ Abrams college show ‘Felicity’ had a weird thing at the end where Felicity went back in time to the start of her senior year and made different choices, creating an alternate timeline. At the end, she gets back to the original timeline, except that somehow BOTH the friends who had died in each timeline were alive and well.
It was crazy stuff - basically the writers had to pull several more shows out of their butts after the one that they thought would be the series finale had already started filming, or something like that.
Year of Hell from Voyager has constant timeline changes.
There’s the ST: TNG episode where the timeline shifted so that the Feds were in a losing war with the Klingons, until they sent back an earlier Enterprise that had gotten kicked into the future.
There’s The City on the Edge of Forever, where Doctor McCoy changes the past so the Nazis win by saving Edith Keeler.
Jumanji!
After the game finished (it took 30 years), it brought the two original gamers back to the year the game began.
The premise of the show Awake had a cop living in two realities: one where his wife died in a car crash and in the other his son did.
Thing about that show is the central character had a 50/50 dilemma, yet no particular incentive (indeed, an active disincentive) to resolve it.
That’s why I call it My Two Deads.
Heroes had several alternate timelines, fixed to some degree by time-travel shenanigans. By the time I stopped watching, I was having serious trouble trying to figure out who knew which characters, and which powers they had, because they all swapped powers and abilities and histories like a big Gin Rummy game.
The entire run of Star Trek: Enterprise was an alternate reality story: in First Contact, Zephram Cochrane saw the bridge of Picard’s Enterprise and said “Okay, view screen, data pads, touch-screen control panels… got it” and went home and built all that into the first generation starships, so by the first episode, we were already way off the track of TOS.
*Eureka *seems made for this thread. Repeatedly.
One or the other of us needs to re-watch First Contact. I don’t remember Cochrane seeing anything but the Enterprise’s shape through a telescope.
Ah. My bad, it looks like it was actually Cochrane’s assistant, Lily Sloane, who was on the Enterprise and (assumedly) blabbed the secrets of the future once they sent her back down.
The Wish, from season three of Buffy where they explored what would have happened if she had never come to Sunnydale. Great episode.
Xena: Warrior Princess did this several times over the years. In “Remember Nothing”, Xena is transported into an alternate timeline where she never became a warrior. In “Been There, Done That” she’s stuck in a Groundhog’s Day style time loop where she has to thoroughly save the day before she’s allowed to move on. Towards the end of the series there was also an episode called “When Fates Collide” set in an alternate timeline where younger Xena had married Julius Caesar and become Empress of Rome.
Frasier had an episode called Sliding Frasiers where the show splits on two depending on if Frasier wears a suit or a sweater when he goes speed dating.
ER had an episode like this late in its run (the Neela era) as well. IIRC, it had a guest appearance by Alex Kingston (who had been a regular years before) if you want to look into it.
No one has mentioned Lost yet?
The only movie that I can think of that hasn’t been mentioned yet is the one named Frequency with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. 
God bless you and them always!!!

P.S. This is one of my most favorite films.
Those were the two I came in to mention, so … no.
