The Slow Path	comment	A mild tragedy for a time traveler, particularly applicable to the longer-lived variety. A sort of breakdown of Meanwhile, in the Future…, The Slow Path is what a character travels down when they use time travel to experience much more time than the other characters in the story. This typically takes one of two forms: A character uses time travel to Opt Out from the story at large, returning when they are good and ready or, alternatively, if they blunder their way back to the present. A character time-travels to the past, or is sent to the past via time travel, but is unable to time-travel back to the present by any means, so they are forced to live in real-time from the past to the present (i.e. "go the long way"). If a Human Popsicle or a longer-lived/immortal being is not involved, this can be particularly tragic, with the character forced to burn up a sizable chunk of their prime years; worse, they might have gone so far back into the past that they won't survive the "return trip" at all. If a time traveler gets stuck experiencing this trope for a very long time from the relative view of another time traveler, and yet does not act or behave any differently can be considered a case of Out of Time, Out of Mind. It's possible he may Go Mad from the Isolation, which is bad, unless he also grows Bored with Insanity. The question of why the slow-pathed hero doesn't show up in their own previous adventures to lend a hand is generally addressed by the dangers of the Temporal Paradox, depending on which flavor of Timey Wimey Balls are in play that week (after all, they know all their previous adventures are going to turn out all right as they are). Alternately, they may have been someone who was believed to be another character all along, and was simply waiting for the proper time to reveal themselves. Of course, if a spaceship is available, traveling forward in time is easy. Just accelerate to as close to the speed of light as its engines can manage, and the slow path gets a good bit faster. Oddly enough, despite Time Dilation being commonly seen in sci-fi stories, it's almost never used to escape from time travel mishaps. Common M.O. for The Constant. See also Trapped in the Past and Write Back to the Future.

The Slow Path / int_104b5e68	comment	In book 9 of The Pendragon Adventure, Bobby (the Traveler from Second Earth, or present-day Earth) decides to seal off a flume and stay on the territory of Ibara. While Bobby's acolyte Mark is on First Earth (Earth in 1937). Nevva Winter takes Mark's acolyte ring and she gives it to Alexander Naymeer, a boy dying from influenza. Naymeer is miraculously healed by Winter, and he eventually becomes the "new Traveler" for Second Earth (and founder of the cult of Ravinia) as an old man.

Father Time has no idea how to reverse the process (he can't cause time to go forward in the same way he can make it go backward), so the three just have to grow up the usual way.

At the end of the book, after she's returned to her own time, she meets a very old woman: the last surviving participant in the séance, who in the intervening decades has extracted enough useful information from their confusing conversation at the séance to be able to track her down and ask her for a proper explanation of what it was all about.

The Slow Path / int_17c40956	comment	Dark Chronicle depends heavily on people taking The Slow Path from the Present to 100 years into the future. As you create villages and populate them with people from the starting city, these villages have become high-tech laboratories, temples, great forests, or industrial sites by the time you return to Monica's time. However, a much more explicit case is with the Elder Tree Jurak and the Sage Crest. The former starts out as some tree saplings, and becomes a monumental tree. Crest is actually a very young girl that Max and Monica meet during the present, but which becomes the greatest Sage in the world (and, although 100 years passed for Crest, the Sage still remembers Max and Monica, for whom there was a difference of only a few minutes).

The Slow Path / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Bishop was stuck in the past during the team's mission to stop Legion. He therefore lived through the years as the Age of Apocalypse storyline unfolded until its "present day." While the entire AoA timeline was wiped out at the end of the event, Bishop's memories of his life there were inherited by his mainstream continuity self. Somehow. In the X-Men: Messiah Complex storyline, Hope and Cable jump across numerous time periods to keep ahead of their pursuer, Bishop. In one future timeline, Cable accidentally jumps two years into the future but leaves Hope and Bishop behind. One arc sees the team accidentally deposited to the past, and stuck on the home planet of the Skrulls - just hours before Galactus was fated to destroy it. The team manages to escape, but they don't have any way to return to their present (and at the current moment in X-history in the time they were in, it would have been only shortly after both the New Mutants were formed and Rogue first joined the team). Kitty uses the stolen spacecraft they escaped in to take a slower path back to Earth, while using a stasis field to keep them frozen until they arrive at the moment they left.

The Slow Path / int_1ed9811f	comment	In Wild ARMs 3, the protagonists manage to use a very powerful magic to send Asgard, the persistent robot hundreds of years into the past. All's right? Well, there's a curiously humanoid shaped rock formation in one of the first dungeons in the game, and sure enough Asgard bursts out of it when the party has to re-visit it later. It turns out that Asgard knew that the only way to go back to present is to take the slow path, imprisoning himself in a rock formation where he will emerge during the right time. Interestingly, he goes back talking in Hulk Speak but comes back as eloquent and intelligent. This is because Asgard is programmed with a learning AI. The more he experiences (fighting experience in particular), the more intelligent he becomes.

Sarah rejoins the League of Assassins, while Ray becomes a professor, and begins dating Kendra. They are stuck there for 2 years before Rip and the rest of the team get to them. In Season 2, the Waverider is left at the bottom of the Atlantic for 74 years, before a historian named Nate Haywood and Mayor Oliver Queen board the timeship in 2016 and find Mick Rory aboard in stasis. Only moments have passed for Mick. Apparently, the timeship is none the worse for wear after spending so much time underwater and being hit by a nuclear-tipped torpedo.

The three Sheikah individuals who helped him and Zelda research the ancient technology are still there to help him fight Ganon. The Koroks are once again happy to see "Mr. Hero." And the older Zora either resent his failure to defeat Ganon the first time around or are delighted to see him alive and well once again.

With the help of Enoch, the alien responsible for this in the first place, Fitz puts himself in suspended animation in order to eventually rejoin them. The alien himself, being a Time Abyss, spends the whole time awake, guarding Fitz's suspended body and continuing to aid him when he wakes up. The timeline where they wait the entire 74 years is eventually averted, but Enoch ends up having to take another slow path in the new one, as he travels along with the rest of the group back to 1931, and ends up getting left behind when their ship gets involuntarily taken to 1955 - where they leave him behind again until 1973. Then after a quick stop in 1982, Mack and Deke accidentally get left behind and have to wait 20 months to rejoin everyone else.

The Slow Path / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes: "Six Months Ago": Hiro jumps back six months, then spends most of them trying to get Charlie out of harm's way. One bonus of this extra time is that he improves his English dramatically in what is, to the rest of the heroes, a very short period. Another is that he and Charlie fell in love, but then, maybe that's not such a big bonus considering what happened to her. And then Charlie herself takes The Slow Path, when Samuel and Arnold hide her in the 1940's to keep her away from Hiro. He runs into her again in the present, where she's an elderly grandmother. Hiro decides not to intervene when he meets her granddaughter. Kensei/Adam also experiences this as it seems his healing ability allowed him the immortality to wait hundreds of years for his revenge on Hiro. "Bloodlines" (from the webcomic tie-in) reveals that Arnold, the elderly time-traveler from the Sullivan Bros Carnival, was actually 15 years younger than Samuel. Then on a mission back to 1961, he got Easy Amnesia and ended up taking The Slow Path back to the present.

Once the League returns to their own time, Wonder Woman encounters Trevor again — this time as an old man in a retirement home. Hawkgirl meets and fights alongside the Blackhawk Squadron. Later, in the JLU episode "I am Legion," the last surviving member of the group calls the Justice League for help. He remembers her, of course. "Hereafter": Superman is teleported several thousand years into the future, where he finds Vandal Savage, who has spent the entire time on Earth alone, living with the guilt of having wiped out the human race. For an additional sting, Vandal himself is personally well-versed in time travel science (cf. "The Savage Time"), but his time machine's design prevents one from travelling to an era where one already exists — which for the immortal Savage is basically all of history, which is why in "The Savage Time" he merely sent information to his past self.

The Slow Path / int_34d050c6	comment	Darkwing Duck: This is played for laughs. After seeing a piece of amber containing himself, DW decides to get answers and so goes back in time with Quackerjack's Timetop, to the time of the Dinosaurs. They find a society of dinosaurs who are intelligent... but all carrying an Idiot Ball. After much hijinks, one of the dinosaur scientists accidentally activates the Timetop and sends Launchpad and Gosalyn back to the present. Darkwing is stuck in the past, until a Dino-scientist knocks him in sap (he was making pancakes), becoming the amber fossil he'd seen at the beginning. Next we see a passage of time montage, with DW frozen with his eyes open. After realizing the origin of the fossil, Launchpad and Gosalyn crack open DW's amber tomb. Darkwing just shivers and says "Does anyone know what eon it is?"

The Slow Path / int_354d43de	comment	In the Red Dwarf novels, Holly goes through this in the same manner as his TV series counterpart. During the second book, when Lister is marooned on Garbage World and Red Dwarf itself is forced to escape a black hole, a time dilation effect occurs where the ship has relatively been travelling for a few hours, but Lister has been stuck there for thirty-six years. Presumably, after his death and resurrection, his time on Backwards Earth counts as this as well, since in both books that came after, The Cat is the same age as him once again.

She manages to chase down Paul and also land seventeen years in the past, but since she went back with a specific goal and the time machine breaks after she exits it, she's forced to wait eleven years for Jack to show up.

He gets woken up at the right time because he froze himself under some boulders where he'd knew the Big Bad would be raising a fortress out of the ground there. He does this again to recover the Sands of Time from his future self. Spot the flaw in this plan. If Omi spends all of his time frozen, he can't give himself the Sands of Time because his old self wouldn't exist. Old Clay even lampshades that Omi really didn't understand time travel. Additionally, Omi's absence caused a Bad Future where Jack has taken over the world . Another episode uses it on a smaller scale, almost as a throwaway gag. Evil Teen Genius Ditz Jack Spicer uses the Sands of Time to disappear into the future—then returns a few seconds later in a Hawaiian shirt (but otherwise unchanged), explaining that he took a year off to come up with an Evil Plan.

Unfortunately, the prediction is way off; the valley won’t become livable again within many human lifetimes. Monty and Harper have a child, raise him to adulthood (before he goes on ice as well, to spare him from living his whole life in isolation), grow old, and finally die of natural causes decades before the first people wake up. Naturally, the awoken survivors are quite shocked and saddened by this.

Lord Zedd's Monster of the Week is a trap that sends the Zords with the rangers inside them through a time portal to the prehistoric era, where Zedd assumes they'll be lost forever; Billy, however, eventually manages to use the Zords to reopen a portal, but there's one problem - they can't take the Zords with them. Once they get back, the exact instant they left, the problem becomes far worse, as the monster is still there, and still at giant size, and without the Zords, they have no idea how to stop it. Until, that is, Zordon contacts them and tells them the Zords were built to last. Indeed, they're still where they left them, buried under several million years desert sand, and they still respond to their summons and work perfectly. They easily defeat the creature.

Kin'emon explains that they used to be the vassals of the Daimyo, Kozuki Oden, who is also Momo's real Father, until he was murdered by the Shogun of Wano Country who allied himself with the pirate Kaido. After killing Oden, Kaido and his crew raided his castle in order to kill Oden's famly and vassals. Oden's wife, Kozuki Toki, used her time Devil Fruit to send Momonosuke along with Kin'emon and two others forward 20 years in time in order to save them before she was killed by Kaido. However, Momo's younger sister, Hiyori, along with the other vassals were not sent in time and were forced to stayed behind. They managed to survive the raid and would go on to live their lives in the intervening years, reaching the present storyline the old fashioned way.

The Slow Path / int_4ed65cc4	comment	Shows up in the final Time Scout book. It's a very risky maneuver; time gates aren't permanent. No matter how stable, any gate risks going unstable and disappearing. Not quite as risky as all that, actually. They move the slow way between two different gates, that open into different times and places, with a gap of a couple of years between them. So while 3 or so years pass for them the slow way, if they get to the second gate in less time than the time gap, they are guaranteed it will still be there, because it was there when they left Lala-land, and they could theoretically go back soon after the time they left (the tactic is still fairly risky for other reasons though - in-universe it is impossible to be in two places at the same time. If any of the party had been through the second gate at any time in the past, they would have vanished and died as soon as they overlapped themselves.)

The two most triumphant examples are Becquerel (413 Million years) and the bunny from Con Air (who took the slow path 'twice'. This results in the bunny being more than 38 years old, even though the movie Con Air was released only 12 years prior to the start of the comic). Parodied with Biscuits, the dumbest member of The Felt. This idiot thinks that his oven has the power to transport him into the future equal to the time he sets the oven timer. It works at one second per second. Which means he just hides in a broken oven until the timer buzzes. Later comics show it does have a special power: it's Bigger on the Inside. Still does nothing related to time travel though.

The Slow Path / int_58cf4968	comment	Something similar to this happens where Arche is concerned in Tales of Phantasia. One the game ends and it's time for everyone to return to their proper place in time, she doesn't say her permanent goodbye to either Chester, Cless and Mint, each born a hundred years after her birth (hundred and one in Mint's case), or to Suzu, born about a one hundred and forty years after her, since she's a long lived Half-Elf and will live long enough to see them again. Klarth isn't so lucky, and bids a more permanent farewell. The problem here is that she and Chester had a short-lived romantic relation, and there's no telling if Arche will still be young after a hundred years. It's confirmed in spin off Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon, where you meet her in the original game's present and fight her as your first boss. She's matured a bit, but only looks to be in about her 20s or 30s. What's the longevity of most relationships? What's the likelihood that a rather libidinous young half-elf won't find someone(s) else in the intervening century? Carrying a torch for someone who doesn't even exist yet for a hundred years would require either exceptional stubborn dedication or True Love.

The Slow Path / int_5d84baa1	comment	Marvin in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe ends up being "thirty-seven times older than the universe itself," due to various incidents involving messing about with time travel. One can only assume he took a lot of Slow Paths at some point. In one instance, he waits 576 billion years on the planet Frogstar B after the rest of the crew get teleported away. He doesn't enjoy it much: Interestingly, 576 billion years is only 37 times the age of the universe under old estimates of the age of the universe (around 15 billion years). Under more recent estimates of the age of the universe (around 13.7 billion), Marvin turns out to be around... sigh 42 times the age of the universe. The conclusion to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency ends on a similar note, in that an alien ghost who's already waited for untold billions of years for life to evolve, attain intelligence, and invent time travel, winds up stranded in the ancient past it'd been trying to change, and has to take the Slow Path all over again.

The Slow Path / int_6059ad6b	comment	xkcd: In #209, Beret Guy goes to "explore the future" with a kayak, as the kayak travels through time "just like everything else".note It also goes through water. Referenced in #63, proving that The Slow Path can be made into the most annoying form of time travel. In #1617, the Beret Guy seems to mistake a time capsule for a time machine; the only traveling he does is the slow variety. In #2459, a comic has March 2020 lasting the entire 15 months of the pandemic until the arrival of vaccinations (making the point that all of the world feels like it's been on hold). Thus, the alt-text punchline, "I've traveled here from March 2020 to give you this vaccine!"

Plastic Man was forced to spend the three thousand years in between attempting to reconstruct himself. He remains conscious the whole time, and the experience somehow actually makes him LESS crazy. The arc also features the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner getting killed in the past, but "living" through the centuries as a ring-generated "ghost"... until the day he's discovered by the replacement League.

The Slow Path / int_679edf73	comment	Terminator Genisys: This is used to explain Arnie's aged appearance in this film. Sarah and Kyle use a time machine to travel from 1984 to 2017, but the T-800 accompanying them can't go with them due to damage it sustained in a fight with a T-1000 (as only living tissue can pass through the portal, and the flesh over Pops' hand had been melted off). Instead, he stays behind and waits for them to emerge in 2017, spending the years gathering weapons and intel to use against SKYNET. Unfortunately this takes a toll on him, as despite being a cyborg his flesh still decays normally and his mechanical components start to break down. Officer O'Brien's life was saved by the heroes in 1984, and he's very happy to see them again and helps them in 2017.

The Slow Path / int_6abf16c2	comment	Big Finish Doctor Who: In "The Kingmaker", Peri and Erimem, having been ditched thanks to a navigational error, have to spend two years with Richard III while waiting for the Doctor to arrive. In "Project: Lazarus", the Doctor tells a newly turned vampire that he'll be back really soon with a cure. Months later, he tries to find her just minutes after he left her behind, but the TARDIS suggests that he seeks her out at a different point in her relative time instead. The Doctor decides to trust the TARDIS and meets the girl again... only to find that she's had six months of utter misery and has been mentally broken by the vampire who turned her. She calls him out on it, really hard. In "Seasons of Fear" this happens to Sebastian Grayle, who has to wait 750 years to give his Masters the Nimons a chance to invade again, while the Doctor just travels to the next location where the right stellar alignment for Grayle to contact them will take place. In the intervening time Who Wants to Live Forever? goes into effect for Grayle, making him go From Nobody to Nightmare. In "Orbis", the Eighth Doctor spends five hundred years on the titular planet, cut off from the TARDIS and gradually losing his memory of his life before Orbis, before Lucie and the Headhunter come for him. And in "Doing Time", a story in "The Demons of Red Lodge", averting an explosion inside a slow time field takes the Doctor several years, but it looks like only minutes to everybody else. In "Second Chances", while travelling with the Doctor Zoe visited a space station a few decades in her future, and failed to save its crew from disaster. She's now aged to the point where that event is in her present, and wants to have another try. In "The Other Side" from the Ninth Doctor Chronicles, the Doctor and Rose are sent back in time on two separate occasions by the villains. Rose learns that the Doctor was sent back to a time 28 years before her, and he takes the slow path to meet up with her again. She also believes he may have worn the same clothes the entire time.

The Slow Path / int_6c1d09b4	comment	Fallout 4 has your character going through cryogenic stasis for 200 years before waking up in a world After the End and seeking to find their missing baby son Shaun. It turns out that Shaun was stolen from Vault 111 sixty years before your character escapes the Vault, and has become an old man during that time — as well as the leader of the Institute. Not to mention your robot butler Codsworth, who not only survived the initial nuclear holocaust, but has also spent the past two centuries trying (and failing, of course) to keep the household maintained in order. He can hardly believe his processors when he sees you. Also the Vault-Tec salesman from the prologue survived the Great War too, and now lives as a ghoul in Goodneighbour. He's not happy about how he's had to live through 200 years of nightmarish post-apocalyptic survival and discrimination, but he still wears the same suit as the day you met. And of course, there's Billy, a child ghoul who has been hiding in a fridge since the bombs dropped. For two hundred years. Stuck in a fridge. For. Two. Hundred. Years. And the Cabot family, who have been alive since the 1800s at least and are still doing just fine in the 2200s.

When they finally work out a solution, Teal'c volunteers to be excluded from the time-reversal effect, so that he can deliver a plan to save the ship. Fortunately, as a Jaffa, his lifespan is exceptionally long, though he is still visibly older by the end of it. Earlier in the show, Season 8's finale "Moebius", a Zero Point Module takes the slow path from Ancient Egypt, due to some monkeying with the Timey-Wimey Ball by the team. That ZPM ends up in Atlantis's Season 2 premiere. In the episode "Window of Opportunity" Jack and Teal'c spend a sizable amount of time living through the same day over and over, instantly traveling back in time to the beginning of the day each time, and use the months of time they live through to take the opportunity to learn juggling, pottery, and also how the time machine works. In Stargate: Continuum, Mitchell goes back in time in order to stop Ba'al from sabotaging the Stargate Program. However, he accidentally arrives several years too early, and is forced to wait until Ba'al's attack takes place. The episode 1969 has 2 examples. When SG-1 are sent back to 1969, they meet a young Lieutenant Hammond, who helps them thanks to a note from his future self. He then has to take the long way to see them again as a General. It's also stated that his encounter with them was what led to the older him giving them the information they would need to get back, before they left. He could have even stopped them from going, but knew it would have created a paradox. Then at the end of the episode when trying to get home they accidentally go too far into the future. An elderly woman greets them in a clearly deserted SGC. Sam recognizes her as Cassandra - a young preteen in their time. She knew they were coming and was waiting for them to return them to the proper time. Meaning at some point Sam told her when she would need to be there and gave her the necessary technology, and she took the slow path to do so.

The Slow Path / int_73d7930f	comment	In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Visitor", Benjamin Sisko is sent blinking in and out of time, staying for only a few moments, and leaving for years at a time. He keeps reappearing near Jake at farther and farther times apart, as Jake spends his entire life obsessively trying to stabilize his father, lest he be lost in subspace forever. Despite being the one afflicted with temporal instability, Sisko takes the experience in stride, and is far more saddened by his son's suffering. Ultimately, Jake becomes a decrepit old man before he has the chance to undo the whole ordeal. The episode is one of the most loved episodes in all of Star Trek. The episode "Children Of Time" has the crew of the Defiant encountering a planet inhabited by their own descendants, as an upcoming accident will cause the ship to crash-land there 200 years in the past. The original crew is obviously long-dead, save for the long-lived Odo, who doesn't look much different after two centuries, and he's very happy to see his friends again. The Dax symbiote is also still around, with current host Yedrin Dax addressing Sisko as a close friend just as Jadzia did.

The Slow Path / int_74f7210c	comment	A semi-recurring element of The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link has to spend seven years sleeping in the Sacred Realm so that he will be old enough to properly wield the Master Sword. He returns to the Bad Future Hyrule after only a moment from his perspective, yet every other character lived as normal through that period. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, has a door in the Sealed Grounds that Link is not allowed to open. Late in the game, we discover that after Zelda took the Gate of Time in Lanayru to the Era of the Goddess, she was encapsulated in a crystal sleep behind that door, using her power as the Reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia in order to keep the seal on the Demon King Demise. She's still there in the present day, when his Imprisoned form is starting to wake up in spite of the efforts. Impa also traveled to the past with Zelda and remained there to watch over the Sealed Grounds; the ending of the game reveals that she became The Old One. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild begins with Link waking up in the Shrine of Resurrection after a century. Upon reemerging in Hyrule, he finds that the few Long-Lived characters he knew before are still around. The three Sheikah individuals who helped him and Zelda research the ancient technology are still there to help him fight Ganon. The Koroks are once again happy to see "Mr. Hero." And the older Zora either resent his failure to defeat Ganon the first time around or are delighted to see him alive and well once again. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: This happens to Zelda, who at the beginning of the game is sent back in time to Hyrule's founding. The exact time is not stated, but it's significantly more than 10,000 years. She manages to survive to the present by swallowing a Zonai secret stone, which transforms her into the Light Dragon, making her immortal but completely destroying her mind in the process. She is eventually restored to humanity and sanity after Ganondorf is killed, but, mercifully, does not retain memories of her millenia as the Light Dragon. The destroyed Master Sword is also sent back in time and spends that time recovering in the Light Dragon's grasp.

Kyon is somewhat unnerved to learn that Yuki has known who he is long before he actually met her. During the repeating summer vacation, Nagato reveals that she remembers every loop, accounting for something like 595 years. In some ways, the viewers of the anime themselves.note The novels only tell the last loop, since that's the only one Kyon as the narrator remembers afterwards. If you didn't realize from, for example, reading spoilers, that only the first and last of the 8 episodes were truly different (the differences between the intermediate episodes are pretty much in the details, like the kinds of swimsuits they wear, or the pattern on the girls' yukatas, or how Haruhi writes and marks through items on her list), you'd have been stuck watching through the same things 7 times in a row.

Church stands there, and basically does three things: grow a beard (somehow), formulate a plan to Set Right What Once Went Wrong, and listen to awful knock-knock jokes. Keep in mind that, by this point in the story, Church is a ghost (really an AI) inhabiting a robot body, so he's effectively immortal.

Late in the game, we discover that after Zelda took the Gate of Time in Lanayru to the Era of the Goddess, she was encapsulated in a crystal sleep behind that door, using her power as the Reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia in order to keep the seal on the Demon King Demise. She's still there in the present day, when his Imprisoned form is starting to wake up in spite of the efforts. Impa also traveled to the past with Zelda and remained there to watch over the Sealed Grounds; the ending of the game reveals that she became The Old One.

Some of them got stuck in 1974 and simply had to build lives for themselves in that time period while waiting for Locke and the O6 to return. Though the neat thing is, the people who got off the island take three years to make it back, so that by the time everyone meets up again, they've all experienced the same amount of time. Locke meets a young Charles Widmore on the island in 1954, then again in Tunisia in 2007. Widmore introduces himself, tells Locke that they met 50 years ago and asks how long it's been for him. "Four days". In the same conversation, Widmore mentions to Locke that the Oceanic 6 has been off the island for 3 years, whereas Locke went through the portal off the island in early 2005, a few days after the Oceanic 6 left the island, thus causing the O6 have taken the slow path when they see Locke again.

She reveals herself to Chibiusa in the next arc in the present day, having explained she was reincarnated backwards in time to a point before Sailor Moon's adventures began. She laid low until after the Senshi went forward in time, saw her death, and returned. This also explains how the Time Gate still has a Guardian while Setsuna is with the rest of the Senshi. Presumably she'll wait until her previous self dies and then take over her old duties at the Time Gate. The anime of Sailor Moon does something different.

However (more spoilers), it turns out that they are in fact in another world that only resembles prehistoric Earth. Another example would be Marethyu who is none other than Josh himself. Turns out that when Sophie and Josh go back in time so that they can be there on Danu Talis and have the duel of the twins that everyone remembers them being there for so that the timeline of the series makes any sort of sense at all, Sophie leaves and heads back to the future, but Josh stays behind to sink the island and effectively destroy the world, getting the infamous hook that he becomes known for as "The Hook-Handed Man", and then must live through all the long years in order to do the various things that will/have happen/ed such as giving Nicholas the Codex to begin with. He also says in a throwaway line that he has lived through the equivalent of MILLIONS of normal years by the time the present day rolls around. Making him a certifiable Time Abyss as well.

The Slow Path / int_9068877a	comment	Red vs. Blue: In Season 3, Church gets sent back over a thousand years by an explosion that destroys the present. He asks the nearby AI to build him a teleporter or time machine (or both). It'll take about 1,000 years. Church stands there, and basically does three things: grow a beard (somehow), formulate a plan to Set Right What Once Went Wrong, and listen to awful knock-knock jokes. Keep in mind that, by this point in the story, Church is a ghost (really an AI) inhabiting a robot body, so he's effectively immortal. Additionally, this entire scenario may have never happened at all, considering later revelations implying that Gamma could've just made Church think this was happening instead. In Singularity, this becomes Played Straight, Invoked, and Defied.

The Slow Path / int_946775cd	comment	The movie Primer is about a box that lets you take the slow path backwards: if you want to travel back in time six hours, you have to spend six hours inside the box. On top of that, leaving the box early has some deadly side effects (if for no other reason than what would happen if halves of one's body are moving opposite directions in time). The box also works forwards, but that's not quite as useful. Also, if you don't send a person to get out the first time, the object will likely take the slow path back and forth several thousand times. The gunk that built up from bacteria taking that path was the first clue of time travel.

As a result, when the jaunters interact with the present time of those worlds, that Starlight has had to spend the last 20 years returning to the present the long way and hasn't aged well due to stress. Thankfully, spending 20 years witnessing the world being ruined by her petty revenge caused them to undergo a Heel Realization and seek to atone for their mistakes.

Not only does Bender not mind being buried in the dirt for a millennium, he actually complains upon being rescued that his peace and quiet are being disturbed. Bender's Big Score: Bender repeatedly and happily volunteers to go back in time, steal precious historical treasures, and then wait in a cavern under Planet Express headquarters until a few seconds after leaving. (This is because the method of time travel he's using only works one way, so The Slow Path is pretty much the only way to get back. When Fry uses it, he has to re-freeze himself for the return trip.) And then at the end of the film, Bender "wakes up" all of the Bender duplicates and has them exit the basement before they were logically supposed to, thus creating a hole in the universe, and setting the stage for the next film. At the end of "Simpsorama", a crossover episode of The Simpsons, the Planet Express crew's mission to the past is over and the rest of them are sucked back into the future through a singularity in Bender's chest. Bender himself gets back to the future by shutting himself off for 1000 years. Since this episode aired, he has made multiple non-speaking cameos in the Simpsons' house's basement (or floating in the hallway when the house is flooded).

FGO, where the residents of Chaldea attempt to solve the problem of Gudako by using a Rayshift machine to send her 20,000 years into the past. They rejoice at their success... as Gudako walks into frame, now wearing ragged clothes and holding a stone axe. When asked how she managed to survive for millennia, she simply announces "Humanity can survive any hurdle that they encounter! The future is ours to claim!"

The Slow Path / int_bc3e398b	comment	Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: In one episode, a terminator is sent back in time to stockpile raw materials for terminator manufacturing. It does so by stealing a large amount of coltan and storing it in the fallout shelter of an abandoned military base that will be turned into a factory by Skynet. It then goes into standby mode, presumably to wait until Skynet builds the factory and discovers it. Cromartie, the most persistent of the enemy Terminators in the series, ended up undergoing an unusual variant of this in the pilot episode. While his head gets transplanted from 1999 to 2007 along with the heroes, his body remains behind. They later recombine, so like Data, just one part of the body takes the slow path. The Slow Path is used by another Terminator as well. In the episode Self Made Man, a terminator with orders to kill the governor of California in a certain time and place is sent back several decades too far, apparently just by accident, all the way to the 1920s or something. Not only that, but his electric time travel bubble kills the person who was going to build the building where the assassination was supposed to happen, so to fulfill his mission and avoid a paradox, he creates a construction company from the ground up, builds the building himself, and when it's finished, entombs himself into the wall of the correct room to wait 80 years for the governor to come to him. They really are implacable.

The Slow Path / int_c0c57462	comment	Chrono Trigger: One of the sidequests involves restoring a forest from what was once a barren desert. Since the process would take hundreds of years, the group's Robot Buddy stays behind to work while they time travel into the future, to pick him up. From this point on, on the overworld map, you will see an image of him working on the fields every time you go back to the medieval era, even if Robo is back in your party, because you're using the future Robo instead. But that's a Temporal Paradox for another day. An even more dramatic example in another side quest involves a solar-powered artifact that needs millions of years of sunlight to recharge. Needless to say, with a time machine, you can actually make use of it - the party drops it off in a cave in the year 65,000,000 B.C. and returns for it in 2300 A.D. (taking a few detours along the way to stop a selfish jerk from stealing it). And no, it really doesn't make much sense that after soaking up energy for 65 million years, those last couple thousand years are decisive in regard to it having enough power to be useful.

The Slow Path / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who has played with this quite a bit in the Expanded Universe: The BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures had a whole multi-novel arc following the fall-out of The Ancestor Cell. At the end of that book, the amnesiac Doctor is dropped off around 1890, and then meets up with his companion Fitz on February 8 2001, almost instantly for the companion. The intervening period for the Doctor is covered in five complete novels, from The Burning to Father Time, the century-plus "exile" giving the Doctor's damaged TARDIS time to regenerate itself after taking so much damage. Later retellings of "Planet of the Spiders" in the Doctor Who New Adventures claim that the Third Doctor actually spent ten years in agony on the floor of the TARDIS before returning to UNIT to regenerate. In The Crystal Bucephalus, the Fifth Doctor spends three years as a restaurateur after being abandoned on a random planet in a different era (he's looking to get picked up by time-travelling restaurant critics from the title time-travelling restaurant). In The Stone Rose, the Doctor reveals at the end that he'd taken three years off in the middle of the story to study sculpture under Michelangelo in order to produce the title statue. In the animated story "The Infinite Quest", the Doctor spends three years on a prison planet raising a robot bird before he arrives just in time to rescue Martha, who took the TARDIS. The parody episode "The Curse of Fatal Death" has a slight variation where the Master falls into a sewer which takes him three hundred and twelve years to crawl out of, before using his TARDIS to return to just a few moments after he fell in. Three times. He keeps tally after each incident, and is very tired and put out after nine hundred and thirty six years of sewer climbing, with only dung slugs for food and occasional company (although he is restored to full youth by the next part of the story). In the Ninth Doctor short story which would be adapted into "Blink", the TARDIS "burps" and leaves him behind in the 1980s. He says he could just wait 20 years to meet up with it, but would prefer not to.

The Slow Path / int_c4d37e84	comment	His novel 11/22/63 has English teacher Jake Epping travel back in time through the use of a wormhole in his friend Al's diner. Al, who has extensively experimented with the wormhole and has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer, asks Jake to go back and prevent John F Kennedy's assassination. The issue is that the wormhole has strict rules: it always leads to the same place and date (Lisbon Falls, Maine, on September 9, 1958 11:58 AM), history actively resists attempts to change things, going back through the wormhole always returns you two minutes after you left, and going through again resets all the previous changes you made. As a result, Jake must carefully wait and plan for dealing with Lee Harvey Oswald while living life in the mid-20th century. By the end, after suffering from countless injuries and misfortunes, including losing his girlfriend Sadie and discovering that saving Kennedy has resulted in a serious Bad Future, Jake goes back to reset everything. He contemplates just driving back to the town where he met Sadie and spending the rest of his life there, but decides against it and returns to the present. The only change from his journey down the Slow Path is that he just aged a few years in the course of a few minutes.

Meanwhile, Elena is trapped inside of an amulet and fully aware of her surroundings during this time (although she doesn't age) and life goes on for Esteban, who becomes Shuriki's Number Two and grows into a middle-aged man by the time his family returns. Esteban is noticeably envious of the fact that his cousins are still youthful and that he's almost as old as his grandparents. Another episode has Elena meet her childhood friend, who is a middle aged woman who got married, then became widowed, all while Elena was in the Amulet.

The Slow Path / int_d616724d	comment	Slight variant version in League of Legends, since it involves dying and coming back rather than conventional time travel. The civilization of Shurima fell aeons before the game's main setting point due to the scheming of Xerath, and the emperor Azir was killed in the process. When he is brought back to life by accident in the main setting point, he is as fresh as ever and is ready to remake Shurima's great reputation once again. The other Shuriman Ascended haven't had such an easy time of it - Nasus has become a solitary, somewhat tragic figure and Renekton has spent millennia sealed in a tomb with Xerath, which caused him to lose all grasp of reason and been twisted to side with Xerath instead (Xerath has been corrupting Renekton all these years and as a result has been having a great time, although it did cause him to lose all restraint on his ambition as well).

The Slow Path / int_ecee4546	comment	A less tragic version in the Season 2 finale of The Librarians 2014, where the Time Machine that sent Flynn and Eve into Shakespeare's time breaks after the jump, and Jenkins informs the others that it's impossible for them to return, even using another time machine, as each time machine works differently. After the Big Bad is defeated by exorcising him from Shakespeare's body, Shakespeare needs to return to his own time. The space/time continuum obligingly creates a temporal rift for him, but Flynn and Eve aren't able to use it. Instead, they use the last of the Bard's magic to have the two of them turned into statues and placed in a locked room in the Library. A clue is then left that will only appear at the appropriate time that will allow Jenkins to open the room and break the "curse", turning the statues back to normal.

The Slow Path / int_ee66462b	comment	Dr. STONE uses the And I Must Scream method but in a downplayed way. After a mysterious ray petrified everyone on the planet, Senku uses his analytical mind to count every second he was petrified just to prepare for the moment he wakes up (which turns out to be in the hundreds of billions) while Taiju uses his love for Yuzuriha to stay conscious. Nearly four thousand years pass by in this manner as they are de-petrified by nitric acid. When Senku reawakens some others, for them they were just recently petrified. Downplayed in the manner that neither Senku or Taiju seem troubled by the millennia they spent awake, instead being perfectly sound.

She lost the memories of her life before then, because that part of her stayed behind to grow up and become Vianah. One can hope the same thing happened to the part of Ollie that was Mae, so that Muckle-mooth Meg didn't have her only child taken from her by the Elliots.

Since she has no way to get back home again, she hides out for the next hundred and thirteen years, and uses the time to plan what she wants to do to deal with the crisis that was happening when she left. Will is distinctly unamused when she goes missing for what seems to him to be hours, only for her to show up in her bedroom at the Sanctuary and inform him that it had been more like a hundred and thirteen years for her. And despite being almost twice as old as she was at the start of the series, she looks no different. But then, she was already well over a century old to begin with and still appeared to be only middle-aged.

The Slow Path / int_f10a65b	comment	On Legends of Tomorrow: Ray, Kendra, and Sarah are left behind in the 1950s, and assume that they are stuck there for good. Sarah rejoins the League of Assassins, while Ray becomes a professor, and begins dating Kendra. They are stuck there for 2 years before Rip and the rest of the team get to them. In Season 2, the Waverider is left at the bottom of the Atlantic for 74 years, before a historian named Nate Haywood and Mayor Oliver Queen board the timeship in 2016 and find Mick Rory aboard in stasis. Only moments have passed for Mick. Apparently, the timeship is none the worse for wear after spending so much time underwater and being hit by a nuclear-tipped torpedo. Both the Big Bad of Season 1, Vandal Savage, and one of the Legion of Doom in Season 2, Damian Darhk, are immortals, and so meet the time travelling Legends at different times in their long lives, between which decades pass for them, while it's only been a matter of weeks at most for the good guys. Averted in Season 2, where Damian Darhk begins travelling in time as well, due to his alliance with the Reverse Flash. The episode "Compromised" gives us Todd/Obsidian, one of Amaya's teammates from the Justice Society of America. Amaya stows away on the Legend's Time Machine, the Waverider, in 1942, and a few weeks later (for her), runs into Obsidian in 1987, who he hasn't seen her in over forty years. While most of the Season 5 "encores" are encountered in their own time period, having been resurrected shortly after their deaths, Ghengis Khan emerges in 1997, with the explanation that he's been digging his way out of his tomb since 1227.

The Slow Path / int_f163bd9f	comment	In ElfQuest, the immortal elf Rayek kidnaps the family of Cutter, chief of the mortal Wolfriders, and takes them roughly ten thousand years into the future. His plan is to save the ancestors of the elves during their initial time travel mishap (which sent them back into the past). However, this would prevent the Wolfriders from ever existing. Cutter has no idea when his (immortal) lifemate Leetah and their (mortal) children will ever appear again, and he knows that he will die after roughly six thousand years. The first five centuries are torment for him and his tribe, and they eventually decide to have themselves wrapped in a time-freezing cocoon. The immortal characters (including the troll king, whose daughter was also kidnapped) live the years out, as do a select few Wolfriders in the Sun Village who dislike tampering with nature and who simply choose to live a normal life. The plot resumes ten thousand years later, when Cutter's lifemate and children finally see him again — after what, for them, has only been a few hours. Later chapters show that Cutter's time without his family severely traumatized him — he could simply not stop counting.

At the end of the book, Artemis and Holly return from the title's lost continent, having jumped forward in time three years. Butler, Artemis's family, and the entire rest of the world took the usual path through those years. Conveniently, it seems likely that Artemis picked up a talent on the trip that will obviate the need to explain this to his parents. Even more conveniently, the skipped years make Artemis the same biological age as the love interest the book had set up for him... Except that the sixth book completely ignores this possibility, in order to Ship Tease something completely different.

The Slow Path / int_f4abd380	comment	Several characters from the Dark War in BlazBlue are around in the main time period of the series, even though this was a hundred years later. Some of them (like Terumi) were spirits, and so didn't age, and some (like Hakumen) came via the Boundary, in which time does not flow (although given what what Hakumen is, he probably could have gone the slow path without issue). However, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing and Jubei reached the main time point simply by waiting - Valkenhayn occupied himself by becoming a steward to the Alucard family, and Jubei by helping take care of Ragna and his siblings when they were children. However, they are the only members of the Six Heroes to have really aged as a result, with Valkenhayn becoming a grey-haired old man (who still kicks ass) and Jubei becoming grizzled and withdrawn.

The exact time is not stated, but it's significantly more than 10,000 years. She manages to survive to the present by swallowing a Zonai secret stone, which transforms her into the Light Dragon, making her immortal but completely destroying her mind in the process. She is eventually restored to humanity and sanity after Ganondorf is killed, but, mercifully, does not retain memories of her millenia as the Light Dragon. The destroyed Master Sword is also sent back in time and spends that time recovering in the Light Dragon's grasp.
