The part about Ethan Hawke being the bomber was pretty predictable, but when it was revealed that he was also Jane caught me off guard

- Jane is John (the man that impregnates herself/himself)
- The baby that was impregnated by John is Jane (I guess fucking yourself results in a baby with both male and female parts)
- Boston bomber is the bartender
- Agent that was seen in the beginning that gets blown up is John (resulting in facial reconstruction and damaging of vocal chords)
- The bartender is revealed to be John/Jane
- Bartender is baby Jane, female Jane, sex change John, agent John, and the Boston bomber
- I believe Robertson created this time paradox because he mentioned something along the lines of the bombing needing to happen to make the world a better place, so all these events must happen for the bombing to take place

but how can Robertson create the time paradox? it is a paradox, afterall. it's an infinite loop, there is no 'starting point'.

and even if the bombings were needed, couldn't he just have conducted the bombings himself? instead, we have infinite versions of Jane/John living the same life over and over just so the same timeline can happen infinite times

It's pretty simple really, the girl was the same person as the guy all along, he was hunting himself the entire time. For simplicity, I'll refer to the character versions as either "the guy" or Ethan Hawke.

Remember when the guy is asked if he could kill the man responsible for stealing his child? The man that stole his child was the Ethan Hawke version of himself from the future, and the task that the guy was given (from Ethan Hawke) was to kill himself (herself at the time) to eliminate the paradox.

Remember the scene where the guy was trying to stop the bomber, but had his face burned off instead? That was when the guy switched to being Ethan Hawke's version, he had facial reconstructive surgery. The man that pushed the violin case over to him as he burned was Ethan Hawke, the man that the guy would eventually become.

At the end, the newest (gray haired) version of Ethan Hawke is revealed to be the bomber, and in the heat of the moment, the younger Ethan has to choose whether or not to kill him or let him live. The gray haired Ethan begs for the younger Ethan to let him live, as he realises his own mistake from years ago. The young Ethan kills the newest Ethan and the cycle continues, as he has failed to stop the paradox for the second and last time.

Until the main character breaks the cycle and lets the gray haired bomber live, it will continue forever. It's assumed that it never happens, and that timeline occurs for the rest of eternity.

he himself, is a paradox. he has no history or future. he came out of no where. his parents are himself. the agency uses him cuz he's special. he leaves the least trace every time he time jumps, cuz he doesn't exist in any past present or future. he's like this paradoxical enigma that just suddenly exists for no reason at all.

what i don't get is.... they have crazy technology to time jump and do reconstructive surgery to almost perfection yet he still has those transgender scars. shouldn't his body be perfectly scar free? lol...

I just checked the credits on IMDB, then realized Sarah Snook played both Jane and John... I don't know, for some reason John looked different and I couldn't recognize them being the same face...

I was thinking the whole time, this actress that plays John totally looks like young DiCaprio from Titanic movie...
