: This requires too much paradoxical logic. Durandal can't exist in the
: future-past if he wasn't made in the past-future, and the past-future
: durandal being made out of the dead remains of the future-past durandal is
: impossible if the future-past durandal didn't exist first, which it
: couldn't have since the past-future one needed to exist first in order for
: the future-past Durandal to exist.

Hehe, you don't like bootstrap paradoxes? :-)

Well, even without it, an entity like Durandal is really only immortal until an accident occurs. So it's not implausible to figure that in a multiple universe-length lifetime, he's eventually going to screw up and get blown up/destroyed/disabled/whatever. Or that, eventually, he'd figure that he'd finally lived a long enough life and just let the universe collapse.
