I hate this show
sorry, i haven't watched those episodes since it ended, so i don't know the details, but i don't remember being this confused lol.. you're thinking too much into it i think..

if i went back in time, to when you were 10, and said something to you, your present body, the one im talking to right now, would not know of this memory.. that's how i understand it.... there is a scene that you may not have seen involving alpert, and thats all i'll say cause it's a cool scene, where he's in the past, and gives something to someone for the future, because that someone already lived that scene out and knew what needed to happen.. but even though Alpert ALSO did, technically, because now he's in the past, he didn't know that he did this action in the future..

that was probably confusing, but it will make sense when you see it, if you haven't already..
