This is a character who possesses Mental Time Travel, but is unable to control it, resulting in them skipping around to random time periods. Without any knowledge of where they will wake up... or when. They may end up in someone else's body when they travel to another period. Compare Anachronic Order, Non-Linear Character. |

Dave Davenport in the Narbonic story "Dave Davenport Has Come Unstuck in Time". It isn't entirely random, though: he continually lurches between three key moments in his life... all of which involve women. | |

Happens twice to Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen. As a result of the accident that creates him, he's able to perceive the entirety of his life at once. In the climax, the Big Bad bombards him with Tachyons, rendering him unable to see present events. Since the character can exist in multiple places and times simultaneously, this is confusing, even for him. As he describes it (before the tachyon surge), it's like a barrier he can't see past from his current position. But then, once the event takes place, he doesn't seem to have any problem still seeing/remembering the past... | |

In Destiny, you find yourself entering the Vault of Glass, an entire cave system that is Unstuck in Time, to rescue a Guardian from it. Unfortunately, there was nothing you could have done; because of the Vault and the strange things it does to time, even though the Guardian you're looking for is speaking to you in real time, he's also been dead for centuries and all you find is his bones. | |

Illyria is like this in the Angel episode "Time Bomb". Her human vessel proves unable to contain her full godlike powers and will eventually explode. This also causes her time travel abilities to go haywire, repeatedly shifting her back and forth throughout the timeline leading up to her death. In the After the Fall comics, whenever Angel gets near Illyria, he gets like this, going back and forth in his own life. | |

Something like this happens to Dark King Ixpellia in the Lyrical Nanoha series, except that she can only take The Slow Path: the unique condition of her body makes her fall asleep for a random period of time between 1 and 1000 years. During this time, she is completely unaware of her surroundings, so she has no way of knowing beforehand when and where (or rather, in whose hands) she will awaken next time. | |

Discworld: Old Mother Dismass has "a detached retina in her second sight". From the perspective of the other characters, she's on the correct timeline and seems fine apart from a tendency to talk in non sequiturs. From her perspective however, she's experiencing exactly what the trope describes. Some characters specialize in time manipulation and have become briefly Unstuck in Time as a result of stressful situations. Involuntary time travel has been seen in characters plummeting to their death or giving birth, for example. |

In The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, this happens to any time traveler whose space-time link is destabilized (which generally involves damaging a device strapped to their chest). In a slight twist on this trope, random objects from the points in time they end up in can occasionally be thrown back and forth in time as well, though this effect seems to be temporary. | |

Tracer, the mascot character of Overwatch, suffers from this. Due to a failed experiment with a teleporting jet, she became unstuck, shifting forward in time semi-randomly. It is only with a special chronal accelerator built into her armor that she was able to become a functioning human again. This is the source of her in-game abilities, which include the ability to briefly reverse time and teleport short distances. | |

This is a frequent occurrence in Star Trek: Captain Picard in the last episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. A variation happens to Worf in "Parallels": instead of being Unstuck in Time, he keeps traveling between parallel universes. (Unstuck in timelines?) Miles O'Brien in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Visionary". It's not random — he always jumps 6 hours ahead, every 6 hours, landing a short distance from his future self. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Visitor", a weird accident involving the Defiant's warp core and the wormhole results in Sisko getting caught in subspace, experiencing minutes where the outside experiences decades. The episode revolves around Jake's efforts to figure out what happened and get him back. Kes, in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Before and After", except she's traveling backwards in time from the end of her life, and the timeline that is shown never actually comes to be, since Kes gets off the ship long before then. It does, however, provide some foreshadowing for the upcoming "Year of Hell" storyline. The beginning of the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Coda" appears to involve this, with Janeway and Chakotay reliving a conversation and shuttle crash more than once... but by mid-season 3, they're old hands at this and just start scanning for the tachyons. It's actually an elaborate illusion by a creature that feeds on life force. |

Lost: Variation: in the episode "The Constant", Desmond jumps back and forth between two points, but he doesn't know how long he has in each time period before he will jump again. In the beginning of the fifth season, the survivors left on the island begin to jump through time. Most time travel here is physical teleportation, but Desmond's is mental. Side effects of being Unstuck in Time is probably what Daniel was suffering before coming to the Island. He seems to improve once arriving, either due to the Island's healing properties, or because Desmond is his constant. |

Professor Paradox from Ben 10 is a scientist who, back in the Cold War, was working on an experiment to achieve Time Travel. The experiment went horribly wrong, and he ended up unstuck in reality, randomly warping through time and space while unable to die or age, being driven completely insane. Then he got Bored with Insanity. Now he has control of his warping and has become an incredibly powerful Time Master who protects the universe by quietly making alterations to the timeline. | |

Viki from the Suikoden series is well known for this: each time she sneezes (typically during a victory banquet), she ends up teleporting herself somewhere else, at a different time.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Razz initially appears to be senile, constantly calling Adora "Mara", the previous She-Ra from a thousand years ago. Then an episode from Razz's perspective reveals that she is constantly bouncing around in time, so she was constantly calling Mara "Adora", a thousand years before Adora would even be born. On their first meeting, Razz already knows Mara's name, and apologizes for forgetting that they hadn't met yet. Further complicating matters is the fact that Razz is senile, and thus has a lot of trouble remembering things that, from her perspective, she was just doing right that second, even when they were a thousand years in the future. | |

Near the climax of Arrival, it's revealed that comprehending the alien language causes one to experience one's entire life holistically. Accordingly, Louise uses information she will receive in a conversation the next year. | |

Henry from The Time Traveler's Wife, who gets it worse than a lot of other people mentioned here. Henry suffers from a genetic disease which is eventually named Chrono Displacement Disorder. Like epilepsy, it can initially manifest as a seizure, and be brought on by things like flashing lights, television images, or stress. Unlike epilepsy, the end result is Henry finding himself completely naked in an unknown time in a place he's likely (but not guaranteed) to have been before. Since it's a genetic disease, Henry manages to pass it to his daughter Alba. Fortunately for her, she seems to have developed a bit more control about where and when she ends up. | |

In 12 Monkeys, this happens because the Time Machine used is very unreliable and unpredictable. | |

The Testament of Orpheus: Jean Cocteau, playing himself, has come unstuck in time and is flitting around different eras at random. It's a metaphor for the timelessness of poetry and art. When he meets a scientist in 1959, Cocteau says he had to invent cigarettes in 1770 because he needed a smoke. | |

The beginning of the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Coda" appears to involve this, with Janeway and Chakotay reliving a conversation and shuttle crash more than once... but by mid-season 3, they're old hands at this and just start scanning for the tachyons. It's actually an elaborate illusion by a creature that feeds on life force. | |
