I am sure there would be a "Prime Directive", the butterfly effect and all.
I wouldn't obey it. I would pillage and plunder the past.

Has anyone seen the show Terra Nova?
Soap opera in the past, with dinosaurs. I don't understand why they canceled it.

Why plunder the past when you could plunder the present.
Go back, deposit the penny at 5% and return to now.
Besides, if you went back to the past, it would be the present.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?

I would go back and knock all the women up so society would have a better DNA mix now. And I'd deposit a penny too.

May perhaps, but unless you build your own time machine, you would not be given the opportunity.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Maybe some unfortunate time traveler will cross my path and lose his time machine.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

No, it doesn't have fantasy elements. It's simply a (at times very shlockishly written, but enjoyable) drama series set mostly in the Cretaceous. The premise is that humanity has done fucked up earth for good this time, and some kind of LHC gejiggermachine creates a wormhole into Dinosaur age (in an alternative timeline I suppose) -- which is when the gov'ment decides to have a settlement there to let humanity have a fresh start. If they had tried a bit harder to write compelling stories, it could have gone places instead of being cancelled after one season ... I mean, it's every Dinosaur loving Scifi fan's wet dream. Spielberg was involved, but also Brannon F. Braga, I guess the latter cancelled out the former.

Primeval (British original) remains the best tunneling to the Dinosaur age series, although it also has severe inconsistencies and weaknesses (such as the most tedious myth arcs)

and because it's British, it's also funny:
