Yet Karen`s own father and sister don`t bother to tell her about that life changing bit of information. I`m kinda confused with the plot. I guess these people are researchers? Going into the future after the world ended to tag snakes? To what purpose? And the government & military don`t know anything about the time travel machine. And there were bodies in plastic bags in the train?

She stays in the future and refuses to read his letters.

So saying they didn`t have a chance to tell her just doesn`t jive with what is on screen.

They are going into the future and doing a study trying to figure out what the hell happened so since they are in a desert, yes by default they are studying snakes. Their other plan is to at some point repopulate the earth. After the sister dies in the movie there is a big jump in time, notice how many letters she has? It is during this section of events that we DO NOT SEE ON SCREEN that the sterilization problem is discovered. None of them know about it and this is made clear later in the film when they say they were all told about it as they were leaving camp. Yes there were bodies wrapped in plastic in the bags. No the government did not about the time travel. Not sure why you have trouble with these minor plot points.

Or am I free-associating too much? Applause is an addiction, like heroin or checking your email. -Sideshow Mel
