Started with THE ENDLESS after hearing Andrew Heaton talk about it on a recent episode of his podcast. Finally watched RESOLUTION and SYNCHRONIC tonight. Just phenomenal scifi.

For our blessed non-lawgeek friends, "nunc pro tunc" means "now for then." The concept is that an order issued by a court now can be applied retroactively as if it had been issued earlier.
Yes, it's a thing. I haven't seen one issued like this before, but, yes, it is a real thing.
