Nope. Satau's the SECOND Avatar. They're in his time. The Game's on, I'd say.Bill in OK wrote:In this comic, Pete implies that the game has been going on for 7,000 years.

Or something along those lines.
Peanut's messenger bag always contains the essentials: whatever book he is reading at the moment, his camera, a 3-ring binder with lined paper, pens and pencils, a juice box, his namesake sandwich (in case he gets hungry) and of course, his handy MacGuffin.Pudding wrote:At least Peanut still has his bag..

But then again, why assume that they went back to Satau's time? He looks as confused about it as the rest.

No, they went to the right time. They just went to the right time in the wrong location.Bill in OK wrote: But then again, why assume that they went back to Satau's time? He looks as confused about it as the rest. They may have sprinted past their target era.
I think I shall reassert my postulation.
In an infinitesimally breif history of housepets, Rick says that it took time for the animals and the humans to speak the same language. I'm guessing that would have had a hand in such eventsSilly Zealot wrote:Let us remember this is not our world, this is the Housepets! world.

Of course, that was until the interspecies war circa 4500 B. C. after which the destruction and scarcer resources led to a drop in development that took over a millenia to recover.
There are many other examples of alternate history in the Housepets! world, such as the time Attila's invasion of Europe was ultimately thwarted by the bbetrayal of his horse's herd-clan, or when vice-president Benjamin Franklin had to deal with the War for the Delicious Octopus in 1800, but those are different stories, for another.... time.
I honestly doubt we will. If I were writing this, i'd have picked the second simply so the avatar knows he must have successors due to the simple fact that he himself is a successor (I mean, how do you break it to your first avatar that you fully expect them to die?) Of course, this being Rick, he may have different reasons entirelyAmazee Dayzee wrote:I wanna know who the first avatar is first though. Satau was the second so it would be interesting if we ever do find out the identity of the first one.

They're where Babylon Gardens is, not where the temple originated.

Totes what I'm thinking too. The arc will not effect the main timeline in anyway, because it has already happened.CHAOKOCartoons wrote:Wait, so if Satu came back after being sent into the future, wouldn't that alone mess stuff up? Unless, however, he was SUPPOSED to come back. Thought that would mean that Peanut, Grape, Max, Tarot, and Sabrina going to the past was also supposed to happen. If this is the case, all of what they do will have no effect on the future, as the future is based on their choices. For all we know, most of the inventions in this world are because of Satu & Co., both directly and in-directly. The concept of collars and tags could very well come from them being seen by people of the past.
In other words, this arc already happened, and will continue to happen in the same way over and over again... and now my head hurts, I see what Peanut was talking about now
What makes you think that? They look to be in the same forest Satau started in.Kitch wrote:They're where Babylon Gardens is, not where the temple originated.
Lots of fiction does.

Also, you can have free will and closed-loop time travel, assuming you have indefinite amounts of "meta" time to time travel in, because the loop will keep changing until you accidentally reach a stable configuration. There is no guarantee that stable configuration will be one you wanted, though, as a rational!Harry Potter discovered in this episode: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

This kind of causal loop makes a lot of "classical" sense, and is pretty commonly used. Kage Baker wrote a whole series of books about a time traveling company (Doctor Zeus) who manipulates the past to hide and later recover archaeological treasures that fund the development of time travel. The company's agents are immortal cyborgs who hate what they know of the future society, while being helpless to do anything but manipulate history behind the scenes to ensure that future society occurs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kage_Baker
The "Time Turner" in Harry Potter has the same restriction. Everything that happens as the result of a time turner already happened.
A slightly looser model is also common. In this, you can interact with the past, but there's a kind of cosmic censor that keeps you from actually making permanent changes, or keeps you from traveling back to times and places where you would have changed it. Which is why there aren't zillions of time travelers going back to rescue Jesus or kill Hitler. Fritz Leiber used this to great effect in the classic short story "Try to change the past".

In our reality though, in a quantum rather than a classical universe, where every event splits the universe into millions of forking paths, the "multiple timelines" model is more realistic.
Yeah, that's trueAmazee Dayzee wrote:How do we know that they are all in the right time period though? For all we know, it could be a bit later or even EARLIER.
"The Wheel of Time" is an actual series of fantasy novels that exists in the real world.EKJC wrote:I think that the theory of nothing can change in the future because everything has already happened it's true.
Also I think that maybe, just maybe, when they try to go "Back to the future" they will end in the beginnings of Housepets! Why? Remember when Satau say something about the wheel of time some weeks ago? Meanwhile I was collecting information for a fanfic/novel I'm writting (can or can not be about Pridelands ) and I found out a peculiar name in one of the books in the background. Rick if you planned this from the beginning, I'm impresed.
