I watch too much Doctor Who.

Two days ago, I was watching the newest episode of Ant Farm.  In this episode, Chyna travels back in time to 1986.  I love time travel and was excited that they had something like that.  When Chyna tries to go back home she finds that the time machine is broken.  Because of this, she's forced to stay there.  In the present time, Olive and Fletcher are waiting for Chyna.  Then the older Chyna comes in.  She explains to them what happened and why she didn't return as the young Chyna.  Somehow they've had a time machine in some closet all this time and they just bring it out and fix it.  A real time machine wouldn't be fixed so easily.  How would they even know how to start fixing the time machine!?  The technology is still years and years away!  I was okay with that, I guess.  It's a Disney channel TV show, it's pretty obvious that everything will turn out fine.
I'm going to pretend that it's normal to fix a time machine that was stuck in a closet for thirty years and keep going.
The time machine was fixed and all they needed was someone to go back in time and break the original time machine before it could go into the future.  Of course, while Olive is saying how they need someone disposable whom nobody cares about I can't help thinking that she's going to suggest that Fletcher is the one to go.  I was right.  The old Chyna says that she'll go.  This would actually work because if the time machine was destroyed then Chyna never would have gone back in the first place.  Because of that the old Chyna would disappear.
For a while everything worked out well.  Chyna was back and all the other ANTs were happy.  That was when the really, really old Chyna came.  She told everyone how she couldn't go forward in time because the time machine was broken, so she had to live there again.  This isn't possible!  How could the old Chyna even exist if young Chyna never went back?!
Am I wrong?  The older Chyna shouldn't exist, so why is she there?  Maybe she's actually an evil alien determined to take over the world!  The writers for Disney channel need to watch more Doctor Who.
