So often in stories people travel back in time to kill, but never to tell someone they matter, that it's not their fault/responsibility and give them a hug.

@wmd Doctor Who did just that with Vincent Van Gogh. It was a very sweet and touching episode.

@wmd

me: [climbing into time machine with loaded pistol in hand]

them: Going back in time to shoot Hitler?

me: Nah. Gonna give my younger self a hug and tell her everything will be okay.

them: Then what's the pistol for?

me: Time cobras.

them: what

me: Time cobras. [leaves]

@wmd I think we owe Jane Austen a visit from the future to say thanks and award her a Nobel Prize for Literature.
@wmd I would argue the whole Series "Bodies" is built around giving the antagonist a hug. ^^ and it has time travel at it's core. Great show.
