Talk:Jefferson's Hat/@comment-5679696-20150823182106/@comment-4839682-20150823184001

Adam might have forgotten about the hat opening a portal in time and probably meant "we haven't had anyone time travel" (before Zelena) which is still a true statement. Even the writers can forget things, and we've already decided to use what we see inshow over a writer's statement when they contradict each other.

The hat opened a portal in the past that the apple dropped through. The apple absolutely travelled through time.

I'd suggest that the hat can "open small portals in time to retrieve objects" as a good compromise.
