Was chocolate milk the reason why J remembered the original timeline?
Because Agent O said that. Was this the reason why he remember the first timeline?
shareNo, he already remembered the first timeline because he was there at the moon launch. Chocolate milk and his craving for it was just a symptom of the temporal fracture, it helped relieve headaches he already had from it.
shareSo the chocolate milk had nothing to do with it. Correct? Also if he was there when it happened he would already know that Boris jumped back in time and killed K and therefore, he would not go to his apartment to pick him up. He would already know that Boris jumped back in time and killed him.
shareTime travel is tricky. When Boris jumped back and killed K, he created a second timeline in which K had died in 1969. However, J remembered K apparently because he also went back. However, in the second timeline, J had not gone back yet, so he couldn't remember anything that happened in 1969 until after he went back and created a third timeline in which Boris was killed.
It really is impossible to make a story about time travel that makes sense, because there are just too many paradoxes.

I'm re-thinking this. They said J remembered K because he was there (in the time jump to 1969). I thought they meant he must have gone back from the future as well. However, it seems more likely that it was because he was there as a child, since at that point he had not gone back in time yet.

Forgive me if I just confuse thing even further, but I thought the third timeline was the first timeline. When Boris jumped back and killed K, that created the second timeline in which K had died, but J still remembered him. I thought J jumping back and saving K was what was supposed to happen and that's why J's dad isn't around in the first timeline either. K didn't tell J that his dad was dead, when he was little, he told him that he'd gone away and in the future in the first timeline J said that his dad was never around.
shareThe third timeline is similar to the first timeline, the only difference is that in the third timeline K kills Boris instead of arresting him(like he did in the first timeline)
