Oh, my sides...

Just in case you think I may have stopped following Miracle Day fandom all together (Yo, this is what I'm calling that show now, it saves typing and, you know, it makes a lot more sense this way.) I TOTALLY HAVEN'T.

Dudes, the Jane Espenson Ep 7 Jack's timeline continuity fail and her subsequent apologetic clueless twittering is the most hilarious thing to happen to this fandom since Jack made his grandson bleed out of every orifice for the sake of srs drama.

Should I watch episode 7, guys? I take it not much has happened since episode 1, so I should be good to go, yeah?

But hey! The Vortex Manipulator, in addition to being able to do everything it used to be able to do in the past before it became just a present-day blood sodium level monitor, could lift the ink from a typewriter ribbon off the paper it was impressed on, and replace it with different letters. All of which are impressed onto the paper with the same degree of clarity. Obviously it didn't occur to anyone to use a manual typewriter to do the typing (and honestly I wouldn't expect them to), but it's another nitpick on my part.

And a lot of his dialogue still wouldn't groove.

Agreed. Because Jack chats about the future to so many people he just happens to run into and screw. And falls into wun twu wuv at a snap of the fingers. Lust, fine. Twu wuv should take a bit longer than "Hey! Nice ass. Let's screw. Twice." - at least in my book it does.

and now it's fucked up canon

At least it's officially, in-canon, fucked up canon, verified by the writers. So no one can insist that there's only one true TW canon. That'll make a lot of people very happy. We can officially ignore what bits we don't like. (Fanfic writers, please start your engines. You have supportive readers waiting to support you! :-) )
