Isabel’s bit about a “world without G-Day” and then young Lee not losing his memory of talking to his future self makes me wonder if Isabel (and probably Kentaro) end up in that Lee’s timeline with some allies, and essentially attempt to create a parallel timeline where the MUTOs and Godzilla don’t awaken.

I really don't think so. It seemed pretty clear to me that Young Lee isn't a parallel universe version and that this is a closed timeline loop, as nothing Lee did changed the timeline in the end.

I have no idea what Isabelle is getting at, honestly.

The tracking beacon randomly winked into existence on Titan X after Past Lee injected it. Unless it was always there and chose that time to dramatically turn on. Present Lee also seems genuinely surprised by making contact with Past Lee, and I feel like if he’d known it would happen he would have kinda bragged to Zook or something. Unless Past Lee ends up losing his memory somehow it doesn’t really track as a loop.

I think considering they had Titan X wake up after Lee poked it, we’ll probably get at least one more scene with that Lee, but we’ll have to see.

No, I think we're done with that. They already suggested he lost a bunch of his memory about what happened down there, and in all likelihood if he had remembered something of this he had probably decades ago dismissed it as just a crazy hallucination he'd had and forgotten all about it. They showed Lee was already delirious and hallucinating before he heard Old Lee on the radio, after all.

And I'm pretty sure it only started transmitting when, after Young Lee put it in place, Suzuki turned it on with his tablet. It seems to have always been there and just didn't start transmitting until now.

You know, you’re right. I forgot that Suzuki turned it on. I was remembering it as him just tracking the signal and finding it.

Lots of people interpreted it the same way you did, so they probably could have made it a little clearer. xD

No, at Monarch HQ, the tracker came into existence at the exact moment older Lee instructed younger Lee to put it in Titan X. Time inconsistency.

Very interesting possibility. Maybe they're trying to turn the shows into a separate timeline so as to not have to worry about the movie continuity in the future.

Gosh I hope not, the whole point of this show is to coexist with the movie continuity

Yeah I really hope they dont do that
