TL:DR; Alyx ruins humanities only chance to one up Combine with time travel and buggers off with G-Man.

  Chuck "SFDebris" Sonnenburg made a great point about this in his review of Carpenter's Prince of Darkness: time travel is the ultimate gamble, because you don't know and can't control how it is going to come out. It's the thing you only do when literally anything else is preferable to the status quo. I don't think the situation of humanity at the end of Episode 2 meets that standard. It's bad, sure! But there are countably infinite ways in which it could be much worse.

    And there are infinite ways it could be much better then sucidie bombing a Dyson shpere for no effect.

      What if you make it work and the Combine takes it from you?

        What if you make it work and there is no more Combine to take it from you?

          What if you make it work and there is no more Combine to take it from you because they have been replaced by something many times worse?
