Time travel as a plot device really, really irritates me.

For instance--hop in your Delorian, punch in a date and time and you're off!

Except for one huge problem. The odds are overwhelming that when you materialize at your destination in time, your destination in space is likely to be the black void of space. The Earth, the entire solar system, it's place in the galactic plane, and even the space between everything has changed in the time between then and now whether you're going forwards or backwards.

All of this also ignores the second law of thermodynamics.

You may get some wiggle room if your time travel mcguffin is a spaceship already in space, but there's still a hell of a lot more to it than just changing your position relative to time.
