H. G. Wells really invented the stuff in the books! No problem with that, it's one of my favourite plot devices.

H. G. Wells was frozen by the U.S. Weird Stuff Agency du jour! Um, sure, why not?

H. G. Wells was a woman! Sorry, what?

I missed the first season of Warehouse 13, is it always completely freaking insane?

I'd add that the Morlocks are pursuing her; that gives her a reason for creating an entirely fictional backstory for her male persona at the National School and Normal School of Science.

(Which was what bugged me; this woman is the "real" Wells, and the guy with the moustache is her brother Charles. So Charles attended various academic institutions under an assumed name so that she could write under it years later? He married twice under that name[1] - once to a cousin, who you'd think would have known? It seems a lot of trouble to go to - C.L. Moore didn't need a brother, she just wasn't a public figure!)

[1]Obviously, in your version, this bit's simple: Amy Robbins, Isobel Wells, and all the women H.G. had affairs with were lesbians! The kids are a bit harder to explain, but if you've got time travel, you can get 22nd century medical advances.

see once you start pushing things far enough it becomes self sustaining. Long live the absurd, long live the the giant flamingo moth of Mozambique and the cannibal granite quicksand of Plockton..
